Remarks :

I chose this college as I had done research regarding this course, and many of my peers informed me that this institution held great integrity when it came to the arts. I didn't really have any other colleges in mind, as I was fairly confident in myself that I'd get in. The admission process was quite simple and straightforward. The college overall has a very good ambiance and energy. Faculty members and students around you are very enthusiastic about external activities and not just focused on the curriculum 24/7.

Course Curriculum Overview :

I chose this course as I had a very big interest towards the film medium and everything about it, and of course all the subjects in the curriculum are quite interesting and really demand your attention. When it comes to faculty members, I wouldn't say everybody is up to the mark but a numbered few are most definitely way up there and have played a key role in igniting a passion in film for most of us. To make up for the lack of faculty, the department brings in individuals from the industry and conducts workshops to balance things out. We only had three written exams each semester as our course is mostly practical oriented. Our final projects were short films, ADs, music videos, documentaries, scripts, etc.

Class Size : 52Course Fees : INR 73100 per year

Internships Opportunities :

The college will provide us with a letter of recommendation and whatever is necessary, but we are supposed to go out and hunt for internships. Our last semester doesn't include classes, we're supposed to work on an internship for 400 hours, a final project (FILM OR DOC), and a term paper.

Placement Experience :

So I'm graduating this year and we're still in the last semester. Not much information regarding placements has been given to us because of the situation we're currently in, but I'm expecting them to let us know in the near future.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

The fees are moderate and are not too much considering it's a film course (Film courses are usually very high up in the fees range). As for scholarships, the college provides various scholarships for individuals who are financially incapable.

Campus Life :

Life at the campus was quite fun, people around are always quite friendly and the faculty members are always willing to help with anything that they can. We have a yearly film festival arranged by our club RUSHES FILM CLUB, it's usually conducted in the second years and it's a lot of fun. All sorts of books are available in the library, we have a gym, badminton court, basketball court, a football ground and much more. Many different clubs like Performing arts clubs, debating clubs are basically platforms for everyone to get to know each other.

Interview Experience :

We had to submit our portfolios and go through a basic written test in the initial phase, after which they shortlist candidates for the interview. During the interview, they just ask certain general questions regarding the course and about oneself. After that is cleared one more interview with the Vice Principal/Principal regarding the general rules of the college and you're all good to go.

if you study then its good for you

Course Curriculum Overview:

in my personal opinion, bvoc is not that good it's not about the course fee it's about value of the certificate course we have high-grade point of around 180 but still our certificate has that value and they are not gonna pay us a high amount with this certificate

Fresher's introduction to Srishti Manipal

Course Curriculum Overview:

My course allows me to be completely focused on my work and portfolio while keeping up with the classes. Which was a deciding factor in choosing this institution and course. My course is designed to be industry focused and when you graduate you will be familiar with the works in the industry giving you an edge. Our exams are focused on the teachings from the previous semester and usually takes place over a week with a set of tasks with clear briefs. Almost recreating the environment one would find working professionally. We could definitely work on interdisciplinary collaboration more and have more focus on grasping the skill intended to teach rather than the outcome desired as the students are still at the end of the day in the institution to learn and won't get another chance at strengthening basics.

Know about my college

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course I've chosen was graphic design. The faculties are teaching good but personally I think there need to be more practical works for the improvement and the examination was not that tough to perform

My College My Pride

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this course because I felt it was something I would like and interesting new subjects. All my faulty for the last 2 years are from the industry guest faculty they teach well and the student ratio is less as it is a new course. It was a 3-year course but now it has become a 4-year course. It wasn't difficult to pass if we concentrate and listen to the classes

Honest Course Review: B.Voc Visual Media and Filmmaking

Course Curriculum Overview:

I am very passionate about photography and cinematography. Hence, a filmmaking course is what I wanted to do after my 12th grade. In each semester we had six subjects and had six different professors for each subject for a class of around 40 students. And during my time at St. Joseph's College, I had the opportunity to be trained and molded by exceptionally knowledgeable and highly qualified professors who made sure that the students are able to capture the in-depth nuances of filmmaking and appreciate it. I treasured all the classes to the fullest because the professors made them genuinely enjoyable. The term exams always took place on time with three theory and three practical examinations. These examinations are quite simple if the students prepare well for the exams and study according to the syllabus given by the professors.

B.voc Film at SJC helped me get my basics right. Grateful.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because of my inclination towards storytelling, but I could never choose a specialization and absolutely no direction as to what I wanted to become but I knew it was supposed to be something related to Films. I was interested in Writing, Photography, and Cinematography and this course seemed like a whole package. We were taught Basic and Advanced Photography, Script Writing, Cinematography, Editing, History of cinema, with of course other theory subjects like English, New media, etc. The Faculty of practical subjects were often visiting faculty from the industry. Other faculty members also give you the best of their knowledge and are absolutely kind. The best thing about the course is they don't spoon-feed you. You will have to take initiative when it comes to creative projects. They update the course yearly and try their best to provide the students with the best of everything.

Remarks:

I initially wanted to be a chef and decided for hotel management but before boards I started considering other fields too and design was one of them. I chose to opt for design after the exams ended because it seemed better than Hotel Management in this country.

Placement Experience:

We don't have placements so we usually have to fish out for jobs on our own or connect with the alumni which is amazing as the alumni network is strong in our college.
