B.A. in Humanities - Batch of 2026
Offered by Presidency College

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
Smart college in the modern era.
Placements: So many companies come to my college, like Lenskart, ICICI Bank, Policy Bazar for a Relationship Manager role, even big firm tech companies like Cognizant, Google, and Meesho. One of my seniors got placed from my department at Google and another one at Meesho. There is a 99.9 percent guarantee of placement from our college.
Infrastructure: Very good infrastructure has been provided with access to a smart dashboard and even another ground is available for sports students. Presidency College has made so many changes over the past three years since I joined college, and now it has become one of India's top college.
Faculty: In my department, most of the political professors have completed their education from Delhi University and Ph.D from Jharkhand University. Where we learn a lot from them and this was an unexpected way of learning. Their experience is very nice in their teaching profession.
Other: We have the best head of department. We have the best-qualified professors, which I don't think most colleges in Bangalore have.

Amazing faculty, infrastructure, and facilities.
Placements: I am still studying there, so I don't know much, but my seniors who passed have got jobs in Wipro, Infosys, and there are others also, but I only remember this much. Placements are guaranteed. Apart from that, our B.A. course offers a wide range of activities, event that help you gain real-life knowledge. It also offers additional courses and credit points for those who want to travel for higher studies abroad.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure for B.A. and other departments is amazing. The college has now expanded further, so students will have a much nicer infrastructure. Our college has a Journalism lab/studio, which is equipped with a professional-grade camera and other equipment. I haven't lived in the college hostel, but a lot of my classmates and seniors who passed out have given a good, clean, and calm review of the college hostel.
Faculty: When it comes to faculty in St Claret College, all the faculty members and staff provide a comfortable environment, all the faculty members are highly qualified professionals and ready to help out any time you ask for their help. Every class of every batch has two class mentors who will guide you through any sort of problems one faces with the curriculum. Our semester exams are equally easy and good if one understands and studies well. St Claret College has a safe and comfortable environment and welcomes all the students with a helping and open heart.

Apart from admin, everything is good.
Placements: As far as I know for placements, our batch as one from the humanities school did not receive many opportunities from the college while we did receive premium LinkedIn accounts. Most of my batchmates went for higher studies in other institutions while the rest found work back home or in the city through their own efforts or connections via their internships. About 40% of our batch had an internship of some kind or the other for newspapers, content writing, marketing or institutions like NIAS (for IR or public policy focus).
Infrastructure: For our course, we were placed in classrooms and media labs for newsroom simulation. These spaces were aptly equipped though at times, our own classrooms were crowded considering we had about 75-80 students for a subject. Food was available in two canteens, one right outside the humanities building (which also had a sick room) and one was the magis canteen which had a whole lot of other options in an affordable range. Magis canteen was right next to the sports field, in the same building with an indoor basketball court and shower rooms for athletes.
Faculty: Professors were really helpful and insightful. The course was also very enjoyable. Though foreign languages were seen as a challenge it was a welcome change for me as it helped me improve my proficiency in a new language (they offer German and French). The course did loads to help us make industry-ready with newsroom simulations, policy labs, and research training + fact-finding for international relations and conflict studies. Semester exams were of an appropriate level for our course and could be passed via expressing enough understanding of the subject matter.
Other: I chose this course because it was the only college that offered this combination that year and I wished to study journalism alongside IR and conflict studies. I wish however that the management could have handled things better. Because of attendance shortage, they held back half of the student population and then they introduced them to a lot of fees to get their degree from then onwards. My advice was to not miss a single class, medical reasons did not qualify as reasons enough to be absent. Only by showing a hospital admittance record, you could be excused.

Absolutely valuable, faculty, college life and everything is good.
Placements: This course offers really good placement offers from various companies. Companies like Infosys, Wipro, and even the government companies offer placements. Roles like IPS offices, IAS offices, and many more. The college itself helps students find placements.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is really great, and each department is highly well-maintained. Students can use the Wi-Fi. Classrooms as per their need. The library has 2 divisions, where 1 is a digital library, and the other is a very big library full of books. The hostel facilities are good, and the canteen is really affordable. There are facilities for everything like sports, games, medical, and so on.
Faculty: Faculty is really helpful. Each one of them is specialized in their own subjects. The teaching is really good. This course is definitely relevant. It makes students industry-ready. Semester examinations are difficult sometimes, especially in the 2nd year, it's hectic to understand and write exams, but the college criteria is 40% overall to pass.

Fantastic facilities and teaching staff.
Placements: There is quite a lot in my course, mostly for UPSC exams. The course offers a lot of placements, but since many are doing UPSC exams, not many take up the placements. Archeology and NGOs visit our college. The two main roles offered for my course are teachers and entrepreneurs.
Infrastructure: The library has everything you need for my courses, and the departments also have good books to offer. Classrooms can be a little bit organised. Hostels and canteens are not that great as they lack space.
Faculty: The teachers are the best, they are so helpful and understanding. They are very friendly and loving. They teach us beyond the courses, along with the values of life. They don't get tired of teaching us if we lack understanding. The exams could be pretty hard, although.
Other: Best campus life, the vibe and ambience are everything one needs.

Overall, I have a good experience with balanced academics and campus life.
Placements: Placements for the B.A. in Psychology course at St. Joseph’s University are moderate, as many students pursue higher studies. Around 40-60 percent of students opt for internships. The average package offered ranges from 2-4 LPA. Roles offered are counsellor assistant, HR trainee, and NGO work with support from the placement cell.
Infrastructure: The university provides good infrastructure with well-equipped classrooms, a library, and Wi-Fi facilities. The psychology department has basic practical resources. Hostel facilities are decent, with clean rooms, average mess food, access to medical care, sports, and recreational activities.
Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified, helpful, and knowledgeable. They provide clear explanations and support. The course curriculum is relevant and covers key concepts through additional practical exposure, which helps with industry readiness. Semester exams are moderate, and many students pass successfully.
