M.A. in English Studies and Communication - Batch of 2023

Offered by Christ - Delhi NCR Campus

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

I have the best experience at this college.

Placements: The college offers outstanding placement opportunities, with nearly 100% of students securing job offers. In many cases, students even receive a second offer from another company. The highest salary package offered so far has been 15 LPA, while the average annual package stands around 8 LPA, reflecting strong industry connections and career support.

Infrastructure: The campus is well-equipped with essential facilities such as high-speed Wi-fi, well-maintained laboratories, modern classrooms, and a fully stocked library. The hostel infrastructure is impressive, offering a comfortable living environment. Additionally, the mess provides decent-quality food, making the overall campus experience satisfactory.

Faculty: Most faculty members are approachable and supportive, though a few may come off as a bit strict or aloof. Nonetheless, the majority are knowledgeable and bring solid academic experience to the table, enhancing the learning experience. Semester exams are generally manageable and not overly challenging.

Decent package and good course structure in 2024. Christ is the place to be.

Placements: Our placements are still ongoing while I am writing this review. The companies that've come for placements so far include Bosch, Mavericks, Joyride, Tata, etc. All the companies have had pre-placement talks and also given us detailed information on the job description and what their expectations are from us. The maximum package that we've received so far is 10 LPA, with the lowest being 3.8 LPA.

Infrastructure: There are 2 labs for the media department (1 for UG and 1 for PG). Both labs have the latest equipment and have soundproof walls to record or shoot your assignments. There are a lot of food options when it comes to the canteen. We have around 20–30 eateries on campus, ranging from lunch to snack options or even tea. The only problems are with sports grounds; you can't use them without permission. Also you cannot use it during class hours and you cannot use it after classes as University teams will take over for practice. Basically, the grounds are just there for the university, not for you.

Faculty: The exams are mostly submission-based, which keeps your creativity flowing and your brains running as you don't have to learn anything but apply whatever you know and have learned in class to the assignments. Most professors, although experienced, have a journalism background, which might not be ideal when you have a specialisation course like advertising or corporate communication, yet the course plan is set in such a way that you'll have a lot of self-learning happening for this course.

Good college for M.A. in design.

Placements: Christ College provides good opportunities for on-campus placement in the department of design. Many design companies visit colleges for campus hiring. TCS and HCL are the top recruiters at the college. Amazon offers the highest package at INR 26 LPA.

Infrastructure: Christ College has good infrastructure, hostels are well managed and mess food is average but affordable. Wi-Fi connections are only available in classrooms and labs, not in the entire college. The canteen provides various food items at a very cheap cost.

Good for the students who are hardworking and passionate.

Placements: 35-40% of the students got placed. The highest package was in between 35000 to 40,000 per month. Everyone got internship in well reputed think tanks, risk analysis firms. The role varies from teaching, research interns, risk analyst and the communication managers.

Infrastructure: Spacious classrooms with projector and maps. Food section is really good, with several veg and non veg items available in an array of prices. The quality of food is average but students have the liberty to choose from various options. There are annual sporting events.

Faculty: The teachers were very interactive, some of them come forward and take interest in resolving student issues and grievances. Quite relevant although it is quite lengthy as being a two years course. Depends on the student, where actually his or her interests lies.

Other: I chose this course because it offers an amalgamation of various courses. Less syllabus and more time for self study.
