If you want a great campus and a good education, then this is the place.
Placements: Not all, but some of those who applied for placements received very good packages, ranging from 6 to 9 LPA. The highest package was around 12 LPA, while the lowest was around 5 LPA. Overall, in journalism, various TV channels offered internships that led to decent placements, though they were not outstanding. Most of my classmates decided to pursue an M.A., so I am not very sure about the placement outcomes.
Infrastructure: There is no proper free Wi-Fi only one hall has free Wi-Fi is there, the infrastructure of the labs and great also in the whole campus. There are 3 huge libraries with nice books. The hostel is okay. There are two hostels one near the college and one far it's okayish not highly recommended.
Faculty: Psychology is a little hectic, but journalism is great. Faculty members are good. The curriculum is rather interesting. Exams are a little difficult in psychology but with dedication can pass, journalism is very interesting and has a very good faculty over a good but hectic combination.
Other: Aloysius is a college full of life and great opportunities. There are many events, one of the reputed universities.

A review on St. Aloysius (Deemed to be University).
Placements: I do not know the exact details, however, I do know that there is a good amount of placements that the college provides to students who want it. There is a good amount of partnership the college has procured with well-renowned companies to allow placements.
Infrastructure: I love the facilities provided to us by the college for our respective courses and coursework. On account of the amount paid as fees, the provided facilities, classrooms, library, labs, etc. are above the paid amount. The quality is good and everything is repaired whenever any damage is noticed.
Faculty: The faculty are more than helpful and are always ready to answer any questions or queries the students have. The curriculum is up to standard for Literature, however, not so much for Animation. A lot can be brought up to date for what the course offers for Animation.
Other: The campus life is above standard and well-qualified for a place to study. There are regular events and good participation. Every week, something would be happening and the life is active on campus.

The college has well equipped digital library.
Placements: Only 50% of the students are placed and the highest paid salary is 2.5 to 3 lacs. The top recruiting companies are TCS and TVS. About 20% of the students kept the top roles of HR, data analyst, and many others. Oberoi and many other companies offer good jobs.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are well equipped; they have a huge library with digital technology and facilities. There are various courses available in the college, such as Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Computer Application, and Bachelor of Business Administration. Other facilities are not that good, but the college canteen provides good food that is separate for boys and girls.
Faculty: The teachers are Ph.D. qualified and some teachers are not that qualified but they have loads of knowledge but over all, the teaching is so good that in various curricular and extracurricular courses of high level during the semester. 98% of the students pass every year. There are various extra-curricular activities as well.
Other: I am very interested in course improvement so teachers can be more qualified. There are various events held in the college, such as B.A. and B.Sc. 1st called Upcara BPA first day and sports day. There is a cricket premier league, and various curricular and extracurricular activities take place in it.

Review of St. Aloysius (deemed to be university).
Placements: A large number students get placements in the same company that they do their internships in. An average package of Rs. 20,000 can be expected. GAIS had come for campus recruitment. There are a lot of job fairs and opportunities, especially for students of commerce and Science.
Infrastructure: Since the college is located near a court, the mobile data range also suffers. Computer labs are well-equipped and maintained. The classrooms in the admin block are old and the benches are broken. The library is well maintained and has a lot of books and materials that can be helpful for students. There is also a reference section in the library. There are no clocks in the classrooms, which proves to be a great disadvantage.
Faculty: The teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable. They are ready to go out of their way to help students. Concepts are taught in a simplified manner. The course curriculum is relevant. The exams and internal assessments happen too frequently, which tends to stress out students.
Other: The fests are conducted with a last. Extracurricular activities also happen often. Students are required to enroll themselves in different associations that help build their character. The Mother Theresa Pace Park is a great hangout spot for the students on campus but due to strict rules, students are not allowed to crowd around there anymore, which is one thing that I personally don't like about the college.

Absolutely fantastic faculty, average placements in 2023, average infrastructure, greenary campus.
Placements: We are usually placed in counselling centres in and around Bangalore as we just completed bachelors but the students from Masters do get lot of opportunities of placement all over with better package. For Masters in counselling psychology, the students are usually placed in schools, colleges, and hospital.
Infrastructure: Labs, library, Wi-Fi, classrooms are good. The quality of canteen foods are a bit upto the price though. Sports and games are given importance as well. We have separate psychology and criminology labs with good exposure to practical which gives the overview of our related works.
Faculty: The teachers are really best and they cover all the wanted curriculum of the course. We also have internships which make us ready for work. The semester exams are average. The pass percentage is more than 90 but not really sure about it. The course syllabus is totally related to the subjects.
Other: B.A. in psychology has a best faculty in here than in any other colleges in Bangalore. The events conducted here are creative and innovative. The fests from here widely known for its creativity.
