What Students Say

Likes

The faculty were great at giving interesting lectures. Also, personal mentorship for each student.
The curriculum designed had interesting bits about synthetic and molecular biology to the basics of genetics and microbiology.

Dislikes

Attendance requirements were a bit strict. So, was the dress code.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

One of the reasons I opted for Biotechnology was to clear my basics in Biology and get ready for a career in research. One thing that was great about Joseph's were the labs. Despite it being a bit crowded due to the number of students in my class, the labs were designed to be project labs. We had the oppurtunity to come up with our own research questions and then use the facilities of institution to answer them. Most faculty in the biotechnology department have either industry or research experience. I quite enjoyed a lot of my classes on molecular and cell biology- particularly because we disscussed latest papers and literature on the field. We also took a course on "research methodology and scintific writing" - which was a good primer to how academia works.

Class Size: 35Course Fees: INR 70000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

A lot of my classmate got plced at NCBS as thesis students, along with a few at thermofisher and other biotech startups. We were all encouraged to apply outside the college for our academic thesis. I currently am placed at Ashoka Uni for my Master's thesis.

Fees and Financial Aid

There is a management scholarship program for students. Also, a mid-day meal scheme. I did not avail any scholarships during my master's. I did do summer research internship at institutes outside Joseph's and was paid a stipend for the same.

Campus Life

Life on campus was always lively. There are fests happening almost every month - though Visages and Pratibha were the annual fests we lookedvforward to the most. I was quite fond of META - the literature fest that took place on campus. Lots of quizzes, JAM and debates. I was also part of Chiasma - the biotechnology society run by master's students.

Admission

The admission process is easy - you need to create a profile on sjc.ac.in and submit your marksheets. As I was in the covid batch my interview process was conducted online on zoom. I first interacted with faculty in a video call - and they asked me a few basic questions and my motivations for joining a course in biotechnology specifically. After that I had a brief conversation with the Dean before the interview was concluded. There was no entrance exam for my 2021 batch but the subsequent batches now have to write one.

Academic Curriculum- they constantly upgrade the subjects which needs to be taught
Labs - very well equipped labs for all branches.
You can choose to drop a lab and do it in winter break or summer break

Dislikes

very less holidays only 3rd saturday is holiday and they dont give holidays for jayantis and all
Auto drivers near the college. this is pure daylight robbery

Placement Experience:

From your 7th semester you become eligible to get placed and it is mandatory to get internship before you get placed which the college helps you to get and around 400-500 companies visit, and a good amount of offers are made by them. The average package stands somewhere around 11LPA -12LPA and the highest goes to 50LPA-60LPA and the median stands around 9-10LPA.

Placements in the college are decent, especially for MCA students who actively build their skills. The college provides placement training from earlier semesters, including aptitude test, coding practice, and mock interviews which helps in preparation.

Library is well furnished with lots and lots of book.there is well furnished chairs and table like compartments where students can completely isolate himself and study. There are thousands of books in library
Study room is provided at the top floor of the institute. It is really clean and there are separate room like compartments where students can study well. They can even discuss in group if they want
We have a cafe inside our institute. Here we can have tea and coffee to relieve ourselves

Course Curriculum Overview:

Doctor is a noble profession , the mere respect which we get by being doctor is one of the prime motive for me to pursuade this course Aside from physiology , anatomy and biochemistry we have a e t c o m which is a type of curriculum which is thought to us in which we learn to deal with different situations during our career and they also help us in terms of improving our communication which is very crucial In real life application . Personally for me the curriculum started on September and we had our first internals in January 2nd around March third round me and we had a final exams in August Honestly speaking MBBS is not an easy course , it is really hard, you need to understand the core, and then applied to even in theory and practical exams. concept

Inside look: Life at St. Joseph's University

So I chose this college based on its affordability and location. I applied to Christ University and I got through the interview & addmission exam easily but it cost too much for me. Per year the fees was 2L whereas in St. Joseph's University, it costs 1.10L per year. The university is also located in a transportation-friendly location, you can travel by public and private transport. The admission process in our college includes an entrance test which for me was an oral examination conducted by the professors of the college. The next step was an interview with the Dean.
