It is value for money and worth it. Teaching is excellent.
Placements: Basically, the university B.Com program is now an autonomous college affiliated with the university. There were many opportunities for placements for students. Campus placements were held every year. Students from any department of the college, such as mathematics, chemistry, and commerce were invited. We had the possibility of being selected as employees. They will get placement opportunities through recruiting agencies like Vedanta, Wipro, etc.
Infrastructure: College was excellent in terms of infrastructure. St. Joseph's College is now a university. So they provided all the basic and advanced facilities required for the students. We had a library that the students could access at any time.
Faculty: The curriculum was not rigorous. Faculty members were very approachable, well-qualified, and helpful. The course curriculum was well-planned and revised regularly. College provided a great experience, and the only problem was placement at college. Faculty members were quite good.
Other: Teaching was good here. It was value for money.

My honest review about my college.
Placements: Placement opportunities were vast with top companies coming for campus placements. If any student had a particular job description in his/her mind, the placement officer had good collaboration with the companies that could help them out. There were companies such as Ernst&Young, KPMG, Goldman Sachs, and many others that came to the campus for both internships and placements.
Infrastructure: I was a day scholar but as usual I used to hear complaints from the hostel guys that the food was not good. They had some water problems and toilets not being clean and things like that. Courses and exams were just the way they used to happen during graduation, having 2 semesters in a year, and the internal exams making the 75+25 pattern. 75 marks for the theory part and the remaining 25 marks for the internal exams. There were no extra activities apart from exams and lectures.
Faculty: Faculty members were all experienced and elderly people in their 40s and 50s. They were very friendly and very strict. They knew the limits and were experts in handling the class. Studied in annual scheme at that time, there were two exams in a year which were mid-term and annual. We had quarterly assessments we had a carry-forward scheme even if we failed in two subjects. We had an option to carry forward those subjects for the next year, and we could appear for supplementary exams to clear those subjects.

M.A. in advertising and public relations at SJU.
Placements: Around 80% of students get placed if they choose to register with the placement cell. The average salary package is 5 LPA, which can vary depending on individual skills and experience. Recruitment is mainly done by agencies rather than corporates, although companies like EY have also participated in recruitment.
Infrastructure: We have great infrastructure, including a well-equipped library and canteens. The only downside is that the better facilities are located on UG campus, which is right opposite ours. SJU also has excellent sports facilities, such as a football and cricket field, a basketball court, and an indoor court for badminton.
Faculty: Our teachers are all extremely qualified, and we have a set of external faculty members coming in from top companies to teach us. Having well-established individuals from the industry directly teach us has been very fulfilling. The curriculum is constantly updated and in tune with industry trends and requirements, ensuring that we are job-ready. The exams are practical, theoretical, or both, depending on the subject. With hard work and consistency, they can do well in the course.
Other: I chose this course because it is largely job-oriented and trains us to meet industry requirements, rather than being solely theory-based.

I liked the college campus very much. The atmosphere here is very calm and peaceful.
Placements: Basically, the B.Com program at the university is an autonomous college now that is affiliated with the university, so there are many opportunities to provide placements to students. Campus placements happen every year, and there are chances to be selected as an employee from any department of the college, like Mathematics, Chemistry, and Commerce students; they will get placement opportunities through recruiting companies like Vedanta, Wipro, etc.
Infrastructure: We have Nirvana, Ethnic Day, Onam, B-Zone, and Inter-Zone programs, which usually happen in the months from September to December. Our library is newly built, and students can access it anytime. We have many different genres of books. Our classrooms are digitalized, and most of the classes are conducted using projectors. We offer sports such as football, cricket, basketball, and badminton.
Faculty: There are very good teachers, as well as some that are not as good. The student-teacher ratio is 5:1. Some teachers are very fluent and strict, while others are friendly and approachable. There is a teacher named Bikash Pradhan who is very interesting and talented; he teaches in a way that helps students automatically remember the topics.

Unveiling St Joseph university: A student's experience .
Placements: Around 80 to 90 per cent of the students get placed every year. In this particular course, the highest package was somewhere around eight Lacs per annum. The lowest package was 3.5 Lacs per annum. The top roles offered were reporters, correspondence, cooperative, and technical writers.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are all well-equipped with modern benches And noticeboards. The library is filled with more than 10,000 collections. Also providing students access to journals or hundreds of websites. The campus also has a variety of canteens in and around the campus, providing the best quality food. however, There is no medical staff to assist the students when fallen sick. The college is well equipped for students who are very interested in sports and cultural activities.
Faculty: Most of the teachers are well qualified with the Ph.D. They are knowledgeable enough to teach the course in terms of practicality. The course curriculum is also set so perfect that it teaches all the practical aspects for the students to get into the field and use it appropriately Well, the semester exams are not That difficult, it is conducted regularly, which helps lecturers in mentoring the students.
Other: Mass communication and journalism course. Saint Joseph University mainly aims at providing students with practical knowledge, preparing them for the industry and building professionalism in them. This is one of the main reasons I chose St Joseph University.

It is a great college. The faculty are well-qualified.
Placements: There are no placements at all. But teaching is good. The college provides excellent exposure, but the placements are really bad, especially for postgraduate students. Placements for undergraduate students are pretty decent, and the students are also offered decent pay. The companies approaching the college are also decent.
Infrastructure: The college is amazing in terms of infrastructure. St. Joseph's College will soon turn into a university. Therefore they do provide all the basic and advanced facilities needed for the students. Faulty members are pretty cool. So are the students. Management is well-organised.
Faculty: The curriculum is not rigorous. The faculty members are very approachable, well-qualified and helpful. The course curriculum is well-designed and is revised regularly. The college provides great exposure, and placements are the only issue in the college.
