Come for the degree, stay for the pedagogy.

Placements: You could not expect conventional placement in this program, given the fact that it was at first an arts degree. However I am certain that if you find yourself studying here especially in a degree like B.A. JIP, you will find stocked in you the urge to think critically and engage with academia, your surroundings, and life in general. Many students went on to pursue masters degrees and specialize in their fields of choice while others found employment in journalism, Think Tanks, and public policy adjacent fields.

Infrastructure: We had free Wi-Fi across the campus. Classrooms were beautiful, spacious, and very well-ventilated. The library was wonderful too with an easily accessible digital database of all works currently available. College provided a midday meal scheme for students who may be facing economic hardship. Sports culture was heavy here with one intracollege and one intercollege sports day. All sorts of team and solo sports were encouraged here. The canteens served a massive variety of food as well.

Faculty: Faculty members were incrediblely knowledgeable and approachable as well. Jesuit pedagogy aims towards holistic and academic development, going side by side. Students were encouraged to critically engage with their reading and syllabus while also being given the capacity and skills required to look beyond what was on the reading list. Semester exams were not difficult if you attended classes regularly.

Review of St. Joseph’s University.

Placements: I have still not yet entered my final year. I am not sure about placements or have much idea but I heard that the highest salary package offered is 10 LPA. Top recruiting companies like Infosys, Wipro, etc., visit the college for placements. We also have options to apply for internships during our second year in many firms.

Infrastructure: We have a Wi-Fi-enabled campus and a digital library. It has a good environment for studies and engagement. It also has good and budget-friendly canteens helping students to maintain their monthly expenses. It also has spacious classrooms with a decent amount of members.

Faculty: Faculty members are well-trained and versed. All teachers are friendly enough and help us gain real-world knowledge. Semester exams are typically easy if students analyze and study materials are provided. The college provides us with real-time teaching with well-trained faculty members. It has real-time curriculum.

St Josephs is one of the best Universities in Karnataka.

Placements: None of the students I have known have been placed in jobs via college placements in my batch. But the mentors do support getting internships and other opportunities, so the part of not getting placed might cancel out as we are supported in other aspects.

Infrastructure: The course is pretty fun. There is free Wi-Fi in the college, the classrooms are neat, spacious, and well-ventilated, and the library is excellent. There is a good variety of academic work and literature spanning across different genres, and it is particularly helpful for students looking to prepare for exams.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and incredibly helpful. The teacher-student dynamic in the college is extremely personal and lovely. The relationship between students and teachers is such that they are approachable anytime you have a doubt or are confused about any course-related topic.

A university that can provide much better teaching and placements.

Placements: Around 50 students are in my class, out of which around 5 of them dropped out. Our placements haven't begun yet. Around 20-25 of us have had internships in the course of 3 years. I'm not sure about others, but I interned at the Hindu. Journalism, researchers, etc. are the top roles offered.

Infrastructure: Recently, our department has acquired a new floor exclusive to our course with Wi-Fi and a library close by. I stay in a PG, which is very convenient since the college is just a 5-min walk. The food is enough to survive on. There are not many medical facilities around; even if there are, they are very expensive for students like us.

Faculty: The teachers are alright, but based on some students, the curriculum is relevant only to an extent since we aren't given broadcasting journalism since our course comes under the English department instead of the media and communication department. The exams are quite easy, actually.

Other: I chose this course mainly because it sounded interesting. The best thing I found about this course was how easy it felt, but I would change a lot of things in the course, like including broadcast journalism and corporate journalism more. I would also change the departments to the media communications department because they would have more exposure to the news and entertainment industry. Events and first on campus were pretty basic, like for the first year I had so much fun; it was really good. The second year clashed with some issues, and the third year only one of our first has been conducted; the second one will be conducted. Next semester I am looking forward to that.

Review of St. Joseph’s University.

Placements: Placements in Josephs are not very good from what I have heard from my seniors, but the quality of education provided is excellent with amazing faculty members. There are many internship opportunities provided by the college for students in almost every course.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are non-AC with lots of seating provided, including benches and desks. There are fans and also a projector system, along with a chalkboard, so presentations can be done and notes can be written and explained by the teachers. The library is fantastic and is located on the top floor of the first block, which is also non-AC.

Faculty: Faculty is very helpful, sweet, understanding, and friendly. The course is not hard if the necessary effort is put into the work, and if you are thoroughly interested in the subject. Exams are relatively laid-back and easy, with liberal corrections, and there is supply available too.

Other: I chose the course because I am interested in the subject. The college always keeps students engaged with multiple clubs for anything you may be interested in, as well as programs, fests, and exhibitions.

This college provides good infrastructure.

Placements: Though the subjects might appear challenging after completion of the course, I am sure it will be worth it as it has many scopes in the future as many good companies do arrive at our college for campus placements.

Infrastructure: In this college, library and Wi-Fi are provided, and it has numerous spaces to sit and study. It also provides different stalls for food and also two canteens are provided for students. The quadrangle is good to sit and talk to friends and the chapel is a very peaceful area for students to sit and rest after classes.

Faculty: The mid-semester exams are easy, and students can score well. They try to submit assignments on time, and the end semester exams are challenging but if students study daily it is easy. Teachers are very helpful, and students can always talk to them and go to them to clear doubts and ask for help.

Good infrastructure and faculty!

Placements: I don't think the placement cell does any work, at least in the undergraduate block. For undergrads, I don't think even the internship cell works. We need to really work hard to get internships by ourselves. Anyway, it's a great experience when it comes to college life.

Infrastructure: The library, classrooms, and all are very nice and lavish where people can study peacefully, and even the canteen is huge enough. The kids enjoy the food served in the canteen as there is a lot of variety and different culture food. It's a hilly place, and kids love it.

Faculty: The teachers are very nice and helpful. Some of them are very annoying, but other than that, the faculty of humanities and English both are very good. Semester exams are not very tough as the teachers help us throughout the semester. The exams are very easy comparatively.

Other: I love to write and be creative with my words, so I opted for this course.
