What Students Say
Likes
- I liked the campus life, the diverse and interesting crowd. Some of the faculty were helpful. The non-teaching staff was amazing, they were very helpful and truly cared for the students. The infrastructure, clubs
- and fest are vast in variety and they're bustling with energy. I explored alot and grew more in confidence and networking.
Dislikes
- Some of the faculty in our college haven't been good at teaching and would rather seem underqualified to be a professor. There have been blantant instances of internal politics in different departments which I particulary do not like.
Course Curriculum Overview
During high school, I started getting interested in different theories in Philosophy and learning & studying foreign languages which I chose this course. Honestly, I didn't feel my curriculum prepared me for real-world applications or academic pursuits. It was my French professor who gave us advice on how to choose which path we would like to go and what steps to take. I would suggest better courses in our curriculum to help students further navigate their academic pursuits. Some professors have a good teaching method by being interactive with the students while others have a much more traditional and unenthusiastic way of teaching which can come off as rather boring. Our exams would happen after every 5-6 months, we would get 3 hours to write our exam. The difficulty level for my course is not that hard, anyone who pays enough attention with a few days of studying can easily pass or score well in the exams.
Campus Life
The annual fest of JMC is called Montage where musicians are invited to perform and it's a huge deal. There are many technical fests for each department and society for example there is Catharsis (psychology department), Winter Chimes (Catholic Society fest) - each fest has competitions, open mic performances, food stalls, game stalls and much more. There are 9 compulsory societies and each student has to join at least 1. Then in addition there are many co-curricular societies for music, dance, drama, literature, photography etc. The library provides a range of books and readings in different subjects. There are variety of sports we can participate in - there's a basketball court, football field, a gym, fencing classes, boxing classes etc.
Admission
I applied to IPU and I got a confirmed admission in one of the colleges which was very far away from my home. That's why I chose JMC because it's not that far, is way more affordable & is a reputed college in DU. I got rejections from a few colleges in DU because when they released their cut-offs, my marks were too low to clear the cut-off. I applied in JMC by Christian Quota so, the admission process is different than a general student. I provided my 10th and 12th mark sheet, a certificate from my church and they asked my top 3 preferences in courses, my applied preferences were Psychology, Sociology and Philosophy. Then the college released 2 lists for Christian Quota students and allotted them to different courses. Usually JMC takes interviews of students who have applied through Christian Quota but because I applied during Covid, we had no interview done. The admission process was smooth.
Faculty
The faculty-student ratio is good, most of the professors are approachable and helpful. Some however can come off as strict but most professore have a decent and friendly personality. I had 4 subjects and 6 semesters so, 24 exams in total for me (Non- NEP batch), there were some students who used to get back in their exams but overall the exams are not that hard, if one studies for 2-4 days - they can easily score a decent mark. Some courses felt relevant while there were few which felt useless to study for our course for example we had to study EVS in semester 1.
