I have a wonderful college life and experience.

Placements: College is not meant for placements. If students are looking for good college vibes, life, a lustrous green campus, with almost all facilities available, then they should join this college. There is no ragging, and we have to work hard. They do support us in placement, but are not solely oriented towards that.

Infrastructure: CSJMU boasts a sprawling 264-acre campus with modern academic blocks, well-equipped labs, and an air-conditioned 1,500-seat auditorium. The central library is rich in sprint and digital collections, and caters strongly to research needs. It provides hostels for both boys and girls, including a mess, recreation rooms, Wi-Fi, and security. Sports enthusiasts enjoy a full stadium, gym, multipurpose halls, and other fields. Facilities like a health centre, banking, helipad, and shopping complex round out a robust campus infrastructure.

Faculty: CSJMU offers a diverse portfolio of programs, including diploma, undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, and postdoctoral degrees spanning disciplines such as management, mass communication, commerce, agriculture, IT, law, vocational studies, fashion, hotel management, and yoga. The university emphasizes interdisciplinary and flexible education, with 60% knowledge-based and 40% skills-based components across the curriculum. It conducts programs that include electives and modular options, and at least 25% of coursework involves lab, field, or project work. The course curriculum is reviewed annually and often reflects regional and social relevance. Additionally, there are regular seminars and workshops by industry and academic experts that keep both faculty members and students updated. It has good teachers.

Supportive and good faculty.

Placements: Approximately 85–90% of students get placed through campus recruitment. The highest package is 10 LPA, and the lowest package is 3.2 LPA. The average package is around 5.5 LPA. Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Cipla, Lupin, Tata Chemicals, Biocon, and Thermo Fisher Scientific are recruiting companies. I am excited about new growth and success.

Infrastructure: Our department is well-equipped with modern infrastructure and facilities to support both academic and research needs. Key highlights include high-speed campus-wide Wi-Fi access for students and faculty. There are advanced and well-maintained labs for organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry with modern instruments such as UV-Vis spectrophotometers, FTIR, HPLC, and more. Classrooms are spacious, well-ventilated, and equipped with smart boards and projectors.

Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified, with most holding PhDs and having research or industry experience. They are approachable, supportive, and always willing to help with doubts and project guidance. The teaching quality is strong, with a good mix of theoretical depth and practical applications.

Other: I chose the B.A. course because I have a strong interest in the humanities. I want to explore subjects that help me understand society, culture, and human behavior. It also opens up diverse career paths in education, civil services, content creation, media, and more.

My university has an unbelievable environment to study, and it's really environmentally rich as well

Placements: Actually, all my seniors got internships, but not in famous places. They received a minimum package of 100,000 per annum, with the highest being 3 lakhs. Many of my seniors secured internships and jobs at News18 India, Amar Ujala, Dainik Jagran, Inext, etc. Our top recruiters are Hindustan, Amar Ujala, Dainik Jagran, and Big FM.

Infrastructure: We have a good environment for studying. The good thing is that we have a studio for news-related programs to practice. I think the hostel quality is average. The infrastructure is the best in our university in all of Uttar Pradesh, and the placement is also not bad; it's good.

Faculty: Teachers are very experienced and helpful, with good qualifications. In my department, most of them hold a Ph.D. The curriculum is relevant and helpful in the industry. Semesters are not very difficult, but they are also not so easy.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to enter the TV industry, and my course gives me the opportunity to turn my dream into reality.

I'm satisfied with the college but a few things were very disappointing.

Placements: The number of students who got placed from my batch was only 9% to 10%. But in other technical courses placement is quiet good. The highest package was 2.40 LPA and the lowest package was 1.20 LPA. The average package was 2 LPA. Local companies came here which are situated in Kanpur. As I was a B.A. student no internship was offered in my course.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure of my college was not too good. Classrooms conditions were very bad at that time. I don't know the present condition but when I was studying, no wi-fi, no digital classes were available. But now a little bit of improvement took place. There was no hostel and no canteen in my college. Medical facilities, sports, and games were available. NCC and NSS was also available. Anyone can join.

Faculty: Teachers were very helpful and supportive. They always guide and show you the right path. One of the best things about this college was faculty members. They were well-qualified and possessed high experience and expertise in their respective fields. Their teaching methods were too good. Course curriculum was also relevant according to the course. Semester exams were not too difficult. If you have attended proper classes and studied well you will attempt all. Only 2% to 3% of students failed, otherwise passing percentage was good.

I'm satisfied with college and faculty, need improvement in placement. It has a great infrastructure

Placements: Being a student of BAJMC, around 25% of the students get placements in college, but nearly everyone gets a job role in daily newspapers as an editor or a freelancer, based on their skills. The highest package is 8 PLA, the lowest is 3.5 LPA, and the average package is 5.5 LPA. Dainik Jagran, Hindustan, Kanpur News, and ABC News are the top recruiting companies for our course. Around 50% of students get internships in daily news agencies, like Dainik Bhaskar, Dainik Jagran, K News, and ABC News. The roles offered are journalism, sub-editor, video editor, graphic designer, content manager, etc.

Infrastructure: The college has Wi-Fi, labs, and a library, with great infrastructure. The classrooms are equipped with smart boards and cross-ventilation systems. Hostel facilities are available with great quality of sports and games, along with a large canteen area with impressive and fresh food. There is a hospital and an OPD inside the campus, and the mess facilities are also great.

Faculty: The faculty members are good, well-qualified, with more practical and field knowledge rather than bookish knowledge. The teaching quality is fabulous. The curriculum is well-designed and relevant. Semester exams are not so tough, they can easily be cracked. I really found the course curriculum relevant and applicable in the field.

Other: I wanted to pursue my career in a creative field, so I decided to do this course. It is more of a practical course, and that is the best thing about it. The graphic design teachers could be better. Events are less for freshers, but as you grow older with the course, you get more opportunities.
