Clint's Review On St Joseph Engineering College - [SJEC], Mangalore

I took COMEDK entrance, as this is a christian minority college after the first round of counselling there s a special round called Minority round for . Christian Minorities. Minorities from other states can also take part during this round. Dates are updated on the comedk site. I took up this college because its one among the best college in Mangalore. Its in Vamanjoor a 20 minutes drive from mangalore city.

The college follows the curriculum laid by the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) which is a collegiate public state university in Karnataka State, India. The course structure is updated as per the needs and demands in every 2-3 years. VTU holds 56th position in best university ranking. Its located in Belgaum, Karnataka. Regarding the electives, the curriculum has got diversified disciplines but these are chosen based on the majority counts in the colleges. Please go through the VTU website to get elective details as per your branch.

Sorry to say, the college does not provide or initiate interships solely, but when the students approach the college with their intership letters the college see to that other students also get benefited by arranging for a majority.

Placements and job opportunities are more branch based. Placements are nil or to say few for mechanical but great for CS, EE, EC. Most of the recruiting companies are software based such as ITC, TCS, UST global etc. The campus placements are good for CS. Other branch students also get placed in software companies but most of the students deny to take up these offers. Civil branch here s recently started and this year the placements for civil will be taking place. Off campus and pool placements are also informed to the students.

Scholarships are available for Minorities and for meritorious students. A good idea of the same can be gained by approaching the college office. Loan availability can also be availed.

The gender ratio varies from branch to branch. Mechanical branch is male dominated with one or two girls, rest all branches have got a fair gender ratio. The college supports extracurricular activities like sports, festivals etc but the prior importance is always for the academics. Sports day is organised for college and hostels separately. Those days are full of joy and awesomeness.

The college has got a great chain of Alumni and hence they keep a good alumni network. Alumni meets are held twice or thrice a year. Open interactions are always a chance for a career during such alumni meets. Fresh ideas and a recollections of memories always happen at these meets. It has helped to keep in touch with many of my friends whom i would have lost during this journey.

Since the total marks are a combination of internal and external exam, every month there will an internal exam for all the subjects. For labs two internals are conducted and the best is selected. Three internal exams are conducted for subjects out of which best two are selected and the marks are averaged. Each academic year has two semesters. Good number of days are given for Semester exam preparations.

As in every college, there s faculty interested and disinterested towards students, teaching etc. Same case goes here also. But when compared to other colleges in mangalore , I would suggest St. Josephs the best. Mangalore is an educational hub and there are more than 10 engineering college in the city. Some teachers are a boon to the departments and yes there are few faculties which i found to be a boon to the students in this college. Most of the faculties are post graduates with few having Phds.
