SJU Bangalore Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Around the final semster (6th semester) students become eligible for campus placement. The top companies visited every year. Around 80% students had get campus placement. My plans are to get in cinema field

I am writing this review based on the course that I am currently enrolled in (BA. Psychology, Optional English). All subjects here are theory hours plus Lab research hours separately. Exams are also held separately for practical and theory even for social science or humanities subjects. For psychology we've practical exams right from 1st semester, where we are given an idea on how conducting experiments work. For Optional English and other subjects like journalism, etc., we will have to submit a research portfolio and have a viva at the end of every semester as a part of practical lab exam. In every semester all the students will have mid semester exams and finals (practicaland theory). Throughout the semester we will have 2 CIA and other assignments for our core subjects as well as Language 1 and 2, along with skill enhancement courses and open electives.

I love psychology, it has soo many interesting things to learn about human and animals as well. Disorders, about brain, development of a child, behaviour and so on. Whereas optional English is confusing and tough but we're learning new things so it's kind of fine. The timings of exam is 2 hours in mid semester and 3 hours in end semester. It's pretty reasonable but sometimes we won't be able to complete it on time which is kind of the problem.

The course which I took that is journalism, its really good and I feel the teachers are very interactive. Our teachers criticize our reports and blogs in a way that tells us what changes are needed in our writing and skills.

Final year all students are asked to apply for placements and all the corporate that deals with foreign companies come to our campus. Organizations like Aditya Birla Group, KEI Industries, Skoda and others have hired students from our batch last year and from what I have learnt many new corporates have joined hands with our university to hire students of our course.

I don't have much Knowledge about the placement situation my college but from what I have heard from my senior, st Joseph's is a good option when it comes to your undergraduation or post graduation. There are also weekly stalls set up for this

I would rate the course curriculum for 10/10 because the teachers are well trained in the subjects and they make sure we understand the subjects easily. In my subject industrial relations and Economics for all the 3 years we were given notes and explained so easily. There is industrial visit taken to understand the way an office works, seminars by various personalities and they share their experiences, workshops are conducted for our better understanding. During the exams there is study holiday for 2 weeks so that we can prepare well for the exams. The exam is conducted for 60 marks and the time duration is 2 hours which is very sufficient to finish our exam.

For economics the syllabus is similar to CBSE board ,those who studied economics in 11th and 12th it will be little easy for them. Teaching methods are also good, assignment can be difficult in 3rd year.

Students become eligible for placement from 4th semester, that is during the end of second year. Companies like mc kinzy, dshaw, delloite and others come for college placement. Average package of 7l per year is provided. Package goes up to 24-30L per year for other course students.

From 5th students become eligible for campus placements. mckinsey, finance companies,mullenlowe groups etc. Highest package was 1 crore per annum. Offered by mckinsey. 80% of the students gets placement in the company. Some of them don't go just because they have family businesses. My plans are to set a own business.
