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.

Fees and Financial Aid:

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
