Remarks

Overall it's a good college, in comparison to the others of the same group. On account of being politics free, it's a safe zone for the students who want to study. However, one needs to be on his heels all the time to cope up with the pressure of the continuous assessments and exams.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

The exam structure is semester based, having two semester exams a year, also there are mid semester assessment test that carry weightage in the final marksheet. Apart from this there are assignments given regularly by the teachers which are graded to give the student an idea about their progress, however, doesn't carry any weightage in the final marksheet.

Placement Experience

4

The college provided internship opportunities, however I wasn't among the one who opted for an internship. The placement cell was quite a strong one bringing companies like the Big 4, and other giants in the IT industry. Particularly, for commerce folks there were ample placement opportunities.

College Events

5

The college is the host of the famous Xavotsav, that attracts the whole young, college going population across the city. Apart from this there are several departmental fests, which are tech events organized by the different departments that includes lectures from different known personalities. The cultural fests, organized by the different clubs at different times of the year, also have a lion share of attraction.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fees for the self financed courses are a bit expensive, compared to other colleges under CU. It's approximately 1lac a year. However, there are options for underprivileged students who get good waivers.

Fees and Financial Aid

There are Scholarship sponsored by NSS for.the underprivileged class. However, I never availed any kind of scholarship. Apart from this, there's an entire other campus at Raghabpur where the cost is far lesser.

Campus Life

4.5

The labs are good, for our department. For other departments too, the labs are well equipped with well-trained instructors.There is no involvement of politics parties in the campus, and it's rag free zone. There is respect and tolerance for people belonging to different cultures, race and religion.

Alumni/Alumna

Never had much interaction with the alumni network of the college. However, with the minimal interaction, it can be said that they are mostly well established throughout the globe and thus can be of help at the time of distress.

Admission

Selection through merit list prepared based on 12th percentage marks. There was no interview involved. Took up this course thinking this would save one extra year of effort and studies (Btech is of 4years), also the Xavier's tag will be an added advantage in CV.

Faculty

3.5

The faculty is attentive and careful about regularity of the classes. The regular assessments and their grading is done seriously. However, it's often noted that the ancillary professors lag a bit in their enthusiasm while taking the classes.

Placement Experience:

People who major in my department usually opt for masters over placement not because of this college but because overall industrial or academic opportunities are better with a pg degree. Masters from this college is not recommended as i have heard so from my seniors. Some of my seniors managed to crack competitives and secure MSc seats at great places. Training and Placement cell had a good coordinator previously but now its almost non existent. Companies do come and hire Bpharm, Mpharm and MSc candidates. Packages are below average. Only Nestle pays well. But if you do well you'll eventually climb up the corportate ladder. From the time i am here i have not heard of any BSc candidate getting placed. Most go for higher studies.

Placement Experience:

The average package offered for such roles ranges between ?2–3 LPA, while the highest package offered to a BSc student is around ?4 LPA, depending on skills and specialization. Overall, around 15–20% of BSc students get placed through campus drives, and many students rely on off-campus opportunities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum was well thought out as per me but there were subjects that i found absolutely unnecessary. Subjects like history evs and clc were in no way related to my course. Coming to the main subjects Design, Printing, Photography and film and Media Training were absolutely necessary for my course and whilst the faculty for some of these subjects were really bad, some were good. It is also important to mention none of these subjects actually helped us prepare for the real world. Instead internships and freelance helped us more than these subjects could ever do. Exams were held bi monthly to keep track of what we learnt and every 6 months we had our semester exams. Overall if you want to be a media professional INTERNSHIPS AND JOBS WILL HELP YOU MORE THAN A COLLEGE WILL. I am biased on this opinion as my college didnt provide me with the correct guidance and support i needed to make it in the real world.

Course Curriculum Overview:

* It's all about practical knowledge, we are getting from this course and another aspect is if you wants to make your career in research or lecturer then you should go for it. *No changes required in teaching methods but if college will provide hostel facilities and campus requirement drive, then it will better for candidates.
