Tips for a Mass Communication student at SJU

Dislikes

The course is very relevant to the career of my choice as it focuses on more forward topics. The hands-on experience in the studio as well gives a glimpse of how things work in the real world. The knowledge given by this course will definitely help.
The quality of infrastructure is updated for this specific course as it provides the students with audio and visual studios for the different course activities.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The overall fee for the two-year course is 2,10,000. It is divided into 1,05,000rs each. Students who come from outside Karnataka have an additional fee to pay. All requirements for the course, including the outreach program, are included in this fee. On the other hand, scholarships based on various merits are provided to students. The college website provides more accurate information on the same.

Yes scholarships are available in the college and the college even encourages the students to fill the scholarships. Because these scholarships are provided by the government and they should be availed otherwise they would be put to the bad use by the government

SJU Bangalore: 2 Answered Questions

What is the fee structure of St. Joseph College?

Ayushi MishraBA from St. Joseph's College, Bengaluru

Here is a brief highlight of the course fee for a few reputed courses at St. Joseph College.

Course	Fee (1^st year)
B.A	INR 28,800
B.Sc	INR 32, 960
B.Com	INR 70,450
BCA	INR 95,000
M.Sc	INR 1.28 Lakhs
MA	INR 99,750

You can get detailed information regarding fees on the college website. If you are new to Karnataka state, then the university may ask you for an additional 10,000 for admitting to a new board. However, if you are a non-Karnataka student but passed your 12th or PUC from the Karnataka board then you don’t have to pay the additional amount.

Also, if you take foreign languages like Garman or Franch then your college fees will be a little higher.

Which college is better for a BA triple major, Christ University or St. Joseph College (Bangalore) in terms of extra curriculars as well as freedom?

Kanishka MishraB.E. Electronics and Instrumentation., St. Joseph's College of Engineering (2019)

Both Christ University and St. Joseph College Bangalore are reputed. In terms of quality of education, the former is a little ahead. However, economically St. Joseph is a better choice. As the course fees are more affordable. But both will provide you with decent opportunities. Christ offers better foreign exposure in terms of foreign lecturers and professors.

Christ is also quite strict regarding dress codes and rules on campus. Accommodation around Christ is cheaper compared to St. Joseph. Since St. Joseph is located in central Bangalore.

You can choose either of these two institutions, according to your convenience
