Saint Joseph University has very flexible timing due to the 3 shifts. This makes a very convenient for people working are doing additional courses like chartered accountancy or ACCA. This is one of the reasons why I choose this college. I finished my 12th grade in 2020 and was doing CA before deciding to join college.
