Debomita Banerjee 
B.A. (Political Science, History) - Batch of 2027
Offered by Mount Carmel College
4.2
4Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money
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.

St Pauls review from a graduated student .
Placements: The placements are lousy. Mostly only people from the commerce department are the ones who get placements because the companies coming in are only suitable for them. Along with that its also minimum wage job offers like call center, exception worker etc. Internships too are not great and you'll have to find them yourself except one journalism internship they used to conduct but that tok was for the people from outside the college.
Infrastructure: I haven't stayed in the hostel, my mother did not like it. However there are 2 hostels the boys one that's off campus and girls one that's on campus. I have heard things about them that aren't all that bad or good. In time and curfews are at 6:30 pm so that's not good and you can't keep or use appliances like kettles.
Faculty: Several points:
1. A few teachers when I joined were beyond amazing. Eventually they all left college due to internal conflicts. One of them is still in college though. A few new ones who joined were good too but again most left formbwtter jobs.
2. Most teachers now, are one to hold grudges except w few they'll be unfair and subpar at teaching.
3. The course work and exam is by the Bangalore University. It's a v. bad course design.
4. Exams are timely but results are not I had to drop a year to get into Masters because of the delays.
Other: 1. Events campus fests are all fun because of student diversity so that's a good point.
2. Things to improve about the course, especially for psychology is to update it. Include relevant subjects and syllabus.
3. I had chosen a triple major (discontinued now) because at the time the professors were amazing. Wouldn't suggest the same now.

2Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money
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.

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.

Review of Government First Grade College, Channapatna.
Placements: I can say there are fewer people who have taken this course because the college was studying. We won't have such a good placement cell in this college being a government college. It can't be giving such good placements. So we haven't been recruited by any companies.
Infrastructure: In the college, we have very organised labs, classrooms and libraries. In the library, you can get thousands of books, magazines, newspapers, etc. And when it comes to the hostel, we don't have any personal hostels near the college but there is a hostel 1 km away from the college which is government; you can stay there; they will provide good food and when it comes to the canteen, which is providing very affordable food, there are 2 meals each day.
Faculty: In the college, teachers are qualified, knowledgeable and very friendly to the students. They will make sure they understand the topic they are teaching the students. There will be an industry ready from the department; they will take the students for the industries and show them how the process goes on. And exams in a college will happen twice in a year as a semester, which is not tough; you can pass easily by studying weeks before the exam and at least 75% of the students will pass the exams.
Other: I was very fascinated by the literature; this taught me a life and it shaped my life. I am very grateful for studying this course. And on a campus there is good connectivity, which is bus and auto. Here there will be a celebration of original festivals and ethnic days and the inauguration of clubs like NCC, NSS sports, etc. And students get the scholarship who all have applied for and of around 10,000 each year.
