The college has good faculty and, a peaceful environment with growing career support.
Placements: In my batch, around 45-50% of students got placed, especially from commerce, management, and IT courses. The highest package offered is 5 LPA, while the average is 8 LPA. Some regional firms and a few national companies visit our college.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of St. Joseph University is decent. We have Wi-Fi-enabled classrooms, projectors, a well-equipped library, and basic computer labs. The campus is decently clean, and has a calm and green atmosphere. Hostels are available for both boys and girls.
Faculty: Teachers are generally supportive and approachable. Most teachers are qualified and try to help their students. The curriculum is aligned with current trends, especially in journalism and mass communication, where they even include short-term projects.
Other: I chose journalism and mass communication because I wanted to pursue a career in media and content creation. The best part of this course is the balance between theory and practical learning especially photography, video editing, and reporting sessions.

Am I eligible for BA course? I got 69.20% in 12th from PCMC stream.

Answered 6 years ago

Hi Aditya, As per your marks in class 12th board, you are eligible. But, the problem is higher cut off of this college. You can apply for this college, but getting a seat will be difficult. People around 90% marks occupy the seats of this college generally. Best of luck.
