BJI Review

The College is the first Christian community college in Kollam. That doesn't mean that Christians are preferred. All religions and caste are welcome in the college. The main problem was the timing. 8:30-4:30 but now the timing have changed. Neat dressing is compulsory. We have uniforms. Clean shave is a must.

I studied B. Tech under Kerala University. Its not good. The exam times are all messed up. The exams usually takes place afternoon. Its provides us with some time for study or revision. The results take too much time. Sometimes almost 6 months.

During my time there was no placements. The college tried for it. But the institute being new and all, the companies were not particularly interested. The college allows students to go for internship. We have to find the companies on our own. It will usually be unpaid internship. No stipend.

Like all college, we also celebrate the holidays. Onam, Christmas, Annual day, Arts day. Onam is celebrated in Kerala only. Onam celebration is with the usual 'athapookalam', and tug-of-war. There is also various onam games. Onam is celebrated usually 1 day. Christmas is celebrated before December 25. It is also 1 day celebration with carol, Santa etc the usual shebang. Annual day and Arts day are celebrates usually for 2 days. There is also Sports day

Bishop Jerome Institute is a private college. Cost is approximately 80k rupees per year. It is not too much or too cheap. There is also scholarship for students. Concession is also given to students according to their financial background.

Scholarship is given by our college. The more studious students get the education scholarship. Not free education but they have to pay very less compared to the fee. Selected students also get fee concession according to the financial background of the student. Do not know about the loan system

The college promotes extracurricular activities. There is sports day for holding competition like tracks, basket ball, cricket etc. There is also a basket ball court in front of the college. There is also a ground for football/ cricket. Various classes are conducted by department on various topics. For electronics there was PCB classes, Robotics Class etc.

My seniors was good and co operative. There is no ragging in the campus. Alumnis are helpful when contacted. The usually posts about various job opening in the companies that they are working. We have a alumni group on Whatsapp. Usually the posting comes on this group.

I got admission through merit seat. I opted for B Tech,ECE( Electronics and Communication ) engineering. I love electronics and thought i could expand my knowledge. B. Tech was not at all what i expected it to be. It is more of a theory study. Practical knowledge is low.

Like all institutions, this institution also has good and bad. This college was relatively a new college compared to other B. tech institutions. Bishop Jerome Institute also provides MBA from KTU. The teachers are fresh with not that much experience.
