- I liked the campus life, the diverse and interesting crowd. Some of the faculty were helpful. The non-teaching staff was amazing, they were very helpful and truly cared for the students. The infrastructure, clubs
- and fest are vast in variety and they're bustling with energy. I explored alot and grew more in confidence and networking.
Dislikes
- Some of the faculty in our college haven't been good at teaching and would rather seem underqualified to be a professor. There have been blantant instances of internal politics in different departments which I particulary do not like.
Course Curriculum Overview :
During high school, I started getting interested in different theories in Philosophy and learning & studying foreign languages which I chose this course. Honestly, I didn't feel my curriculum prepared me for real-world applications or academic pursuits. It was my French professor who gave us advice on how to choose which path we would like to go and what steps to take. I would suggest better courses in our curriculum to help students further navigate their academic pursuits. Some professors have a good teaching method by being interactive with the students while others have a much more traditional and unenthusiastic way of teaching which can come off as rather boring. Our exams would happen after every 5-6 months, we would get 3 hours to write our exam. The difficulty level for my course is not that hard, anyone who pays enough attention with a few days of studying can easily pass or score well in the exams.
Campus Life :
The annual fest of JMC is called Montage where musicians are invited to perform and it's a huge deal. There are many technical fests for each department and society for example there is Catharsis (psychology department), Winter Chimes (Catholic Society fest) - each fest has competitions, open mic performances, food stalls, game stalls and much more. There are 9 compulsory societies and each student has to join at least 1. Then in addition there are many co-curricular societies for music, dance, drama, literature, photography etc. The library provides a range of books and readings in different subjects. There are variety of sports we can participate in - there's a basketball court, football field, a gym, fencing classes, boxing classes etc.
Admission :
I applied to IPU and I got a confirmed admission in one of the colleges which was very far away from my home. That's why I chose JMC because it's not that far, is way more affordable & is a reputed college in DU. I got rejections from a few colleges in DU because when they released their cut-offs, my marks were too low to clear the cut-off. I applied in JMC by Christian Quota so, the admission process is different than a general student. I provided my 10th and 12th mark sheet, a certificate from my church and they asked my top 3 preferences in courses, my applied preferences were Psychology, Sociology and Philosophy. Then the college released 2 lists for Christian Quota students and allotted them to different courses. Usually JMC takes interviews of students who have applied through Christian Quota but because I applied during Covid, we had no interview done. The admission process was smooth.
Faculty :
The faculty-student ratio is good, most of the professors are approachable and helpful. Some however can come off as strict but most professore have a decent and friendly personality. I had 4 subjects and 6 semesters so, 24 exams in total for me (Non- NEP batch), there were some students who used to get back in their exams but overall the exams are not that hard, if one studies for 2-4 days - they can easily score a decent mark. Some courses felt relevant while there were few which felt useless to study for our course for example we had to study EVS in semester 1.
