B.A. (Psychology, Journalism, English) - Batch of 2026

4.2

Good college with decent facilities but poor exam management.

Placements: I don't think, there are many placement opportunities. Nearly 15 percent of students get placements but the internships provided by them are very helpful. Students got proper exposure to their work field, which is a very important and crucial factor. There are internships under the commission office, and students get to see proper crime sciences.

Infrastructure: We have proper washrooms, cafes, and basketball courts. The mess in the hostel provides proper food 3 times a day and ensures quality and quantity for the students. The hostel rooms are really comfortable but at times the guards in the female hostel are really rude.

Faculty: Teachers, especially in the B.A. department, are very supportive and helpful. They are frank with students, which makes them more supportive towards us. The semester exams are really easy. Whatever the faculty members teach us in class, the portion in the exam is always relevant to that.

Other: My course is Criminology and Psychology B.A. I chose this course as I have always been interested in crime cases and as it is a two-in-one degree I was really fascinated by the course. The campus is huge and the fest is the best part of the year.

B.A. in Journalism, Economics and Psychology - Batch of 2025

4.0

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.

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.

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.

Best college of Bangalore for sure.

Placements: We have a placement cell in our college that provides us with varied opportunities. Though from our department, students generally don't sit for placements, as most of us go for further studies and pursue civil services. The placement percentage is around 70%. Top recruiting companies like Goldman Sachs, DeShaw, Deloitte, and many more come for the placement.

Infrastructure: We do have a great campus and spacious classrooms. These classrooms are equipped with the best technology, which makes it easier for us to study. We do have a college Wi-Fi as well. Our library is very well-equipped with various kinds of books and even journals. As I have not opted for the hostel, I won't be able to give any details regarding that. But I do know that the security and food facilities are good in the hostel.

Faculty: I genuinely like my professors as they are quite frank and approachable. They encourage us to not just be academic but also explore other aspects of life. It feels comfortable to ask for their help and they don't make you feel ignored. The course curriculum is very much relevant with every day life one gets aware of their culture, rights and even their finance and not just that it makes us more communicate as well. The semester exams are not difficult its that level pf difficult which prepares us for further projects. The pass percentage is 40% in all subjects.

Other: I chose this course as I thought this would give me very good future opportunities. This particular course is the best for people who have not clearly decided as to what they wanna do in their future as in this course of 3 years you will know what you are good at. I do wish though that the dress cord would have been a little more flexible. I would suggest every one to take part in events and clubs as those are the best memories one can make.

Worth every single penny.

Placements: Only high-performance students are guaranteed to gain placements and have minimal opportunities, as there are only a handful of companies that offer internships. The college must focus on aiming for more companies to bring in internships, as it will lead to a good reputation.

Infrastructure: Great facilities overall, but in a few instances, it is noticed that there are quite a few instances of negligence of provisions of the opportunities. It can be due to a high student count or management, but here is the thing: I would not complain, as the fee structure is not so high.

Faculty: Teachers are great overall, with great coverage to help build up future skills. The semester exams are not so competitive, but they need to be given thorough hard work. Especially, the teaching staff is very interactive and very friendly. They are great at their career.

Other: Overall, the college is above average but not the best around North Bengaluru.
