M.A. in English - Batch of 2026

4Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

For me this university gives us the good facilities and infrastructure is awesome.

Placements: This university provides placements to the dedicated and knowledgeable candidates based on walk in interviews. It's up to us that how we appear in interviews. But upon talking to my seniors and some passout students they don't provide placements to courses like M.A. English but they do provide placements to other courses.

Infrastructure: So when we talk about infrastructure of my hostel, it's quite good but the food quality provided in hostels is way too bad. Hostel includes a gym, canteen, play ground and a mess and lift which is open till 10pm everyday. Gym has quite good equipments and it's up to us whenever we are free we can go to gym.

Faculty: Talking about teachers and their teaching quality, teachers are so kind and polite and their knowledge is out of our mind. If I talk about faculty of my department they are so kind and knowledgeable. We are free to ask any teacher about our Quieris whether he/she is from our teaching staff or a faculty member.

Other: It was my dream to be a good teacher and by choosing this subject I'm able to build my communication skills and I've got a different perspective by reading about different personalities of writers. Best thing about this course is that you'll get to know about different cultures and different thoughts of people which helps me in bringing good things into my mind. I think there should be placements for this course also. Our campus is too crowded but the space for students is more than enough.

I liked the way the faculty guided us.

Placements: Pretty much all the people with good attendance in college were replaced. 10 from each course on average. There is still a need for more companies to walk in and place students. Mostly, there are only firms coming for the sales and marketing or banking courses. MACJ as a whole has not received much of a placement; however, our teachers do notify us if there are any opportunities.

Infrastructure: I was there in the hostel from the first year. My room was five-seater, of which three were my classmates and 2 were from another section. The room had 5 beds, 5 almirahs, and 5 pairs of tables and chairs. The mess was on the ground floor. Mess food was good; it was high in protein and contained dahi, eggs, chicken, etc. Hostel fees were 77k per year for 5-seater room.

Faculty: The course curriculum was very interesting. As Journalism students, we spend most of our time in the fields, like conducting interviews, making video for our YouTube page, managing our social media pages, and shooting in the media lab. Everything was taught to us: editing, adobe photoshop, adobe illustrator, camera handling, video camera handling, etc. It was a two-year course with four semesters and three internal assessments before every semester. That makes four semester exams and 12 internal assessments. Out of three, they consider the best of two exam marks.

Faculty: All the teachers are very helpful, qualified, and educated. Teaching quality is also good. They help all the students in their studies and make students industry-ready. The semester exams are not very difficult, with a passing percentage of about 75 percent.

Our university is the best.

Placements: After the 3rd semester, the placement process will start. Students who scored good marks were eligible for placements. Many students opted for higher studies.

Infrastructure: Separate hostels were available for both boys and girls. The system for granting leaves was not good. Overall, everything was good.

Faculty: Faculty members were egoistic but well-qualified. Few of them were Ph.D. scholars. The teaching method was not good. Semester exams were conducted after every 5 months. The exams were not hard.

Other: I chose this course because of my interest in photography. Annual fests and events were conducted in this college. You will also get a chance to do other college fests with various co-curricular activities.

The admission process is simple for new students.

Placements: There are good opportunities here. There is a nice selection ratio, and an overall good median salary is offered. Students are recruited by a variety of famous firms, and almost all of them end up at one company or another. Many of the big corporate giants as well as foreign companies have tie-ups with KC College. Campus interviews were conducted, and the students are tested according to the company's requirements. There were various recruiting companies like Free Press Journal, The Sprint, KPMG India, TATA, Reliance, Infosys, OLA, and Rajshri Entertainment. Placement Coordinators can provide assistance if you have any questions or concerns. But because of the pandemic, things might be a little different.

Infrastructure: Personally, I can't recommend the hostels. Because the facilities of hostels in CU are quite poor. The quality of the food is disgusting. And the wardens are not humble toward you. You can avail of the hostel facility online or by visiting. You can get the 3-seated room or the 4-seated room.

Faculty: The course curriculum is systematically structured. Research papers are prepared by the students every semester, which is considered an essential task throughout the course. Exams are conducted within the university, are fair, and are invigilated by experienced faculty. The course includes designing and strategizing presentations. Practical exposure is not up to the mark. Practical equipment is available, yet there is a lack of practical exposure to the subject. Students frequently complain about the same.
