Get to know your college.

Placements: The previous batch had campus placements, and on average, per batch, there were 50 students who got recruited. Internship opportunities were provided, and certificate courses as well. Many companies like Google, EY, airline companies, and finance managing companies are also aligned with the college.

Infrastructure: The campus and infrastructure are very beautiful. It has a great environment and crowd. Hostels are average, but the other college facilities, like classrooms, labs, library, canteen, medical room, playgroup, and sports zones, are commendable. The cafeteria and the library are the best ones.

Faculty: The teaching and non-teaching faculty are very helpful, kind, and approachable. The teachers of the particular subjects are excellent at their work, and they provide us with knowledge that is relevant to real life as well. Semester exams and mid-term exams are followed up by the faculty in a very professional manner.

Other: My course is a Bachelor of Arts with a triple major in Psychology, Journalism, and Sociology, with additional languages and self-development programs. This college has given a huge range for my passion in psychology.

Government First Grade College, Channapatna.

Placements: Most of my classmates are pursuing higher studies, while many others are working as teachers in schools. Some have secured positions in banks and companies. However, all these roles and jobs were obtained through their own efforts, not through the college, as there are no internships or placements offered by the college.

Infrastructure: The college has a good infrastructure with two buildings. The new building is equipped with modern facilities, including an auditorium. The campus also has Wi-Fi facilities and a canteen that offers affordable food options for students.

Faculty: The faculty members are helpful, highly qualified, and knowledgeable, with many holding Ph.D. degrees. They aim to make students industry-ready by organizing presentations, PPT sessions, and industrial visits to companies and banks. The semester exams are moderately challenging, but students can pass with proper preparation.

Other: I chose this course because of my interest in literature, history, and economics. It provides a comprehensive understanding of various topics that affect our surroundings. The campus hosts many events and fests like Ethnic Day, Folk Day, club inaugurations, and club valedictories. Scholarships are available from both the state and central governments. The college is well-connected by buses and private transportation.

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Healthy environment, helpful faculty, strict rules, good infrastructure.

Placements: Placements are given from the 5th semester onwards while engagement in internships and educational field trips begin from the 2nd semester onwards. The highest package could range from 4-6 LPA. Also, there is a PG department offering Masters, which is usually required for better job opportunities.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are equipped with projectors and smart boards, making learning visually engaging. The hostel provides three meals a day and other facilities like warm water, etc., for comfort. The food might get repetitive. There are two canteens and one cafeteria, with the quality of food depending on the items you choose. Overall, a good experience.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable about the topics they teach and engage student participation, willing to help and answer questions after class hours and clarify doubts. The course is relevant for people aiming to work as a psychologist or in journalism. The semester is easy to pass.

Other: I've chosen this course in the steps of pursuing psychology as my career. It's educational and informative in learning about human behavior and the inner workings of the mind. Journalism sharpens and hones your communication and speech skills. It would be better if smart technology was used more to make information easier to retain. This college has the most active fests and events, with new opportunities for participation in various events cropping up every week. The clubs and extracurricular activities open many chances for gaining credit and achievements. It also provides solid scholarships to academic achievers.

The college is very good and nice.

Placements: It's amazing. We are a good number of students in our batch. The highest package was 180,000, and the college provides top recruiters also. We fully didn’t complete the course, so we didn’t get any internship or details about that. Maybe it will get on next semester.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good, and it’s very comfortable to study. They provide labs, good classrooms, Wi-Fi, and also a good library, which has a good collection of books. The canteen is very affordable. Also, there are sports, games, and all. They provide a good atmosphere.

Faculty: Faculty members are very nice, friendly, and very much approachable. They will take care of the needs of students and provide good education. They help the students to do better and make sure the topics are clear to students. If any doubts, they will clear.

St Pauls review from a graduated student .

Placements: The placements are lousy. Mostly only people from the commerce department are the ones who get placements because the companies coming in are only suitable for them. Along with that its also minimum wage job offers like call center, exception worker etc. Internships too are not great and you'll have to find them yourself except one journalism internship they used to conduct but that tok was for the people from outside the college.

Infrastructure: I haven't stayed in the hostel, my mother did not like it. However there are 2 hostels the boys one that's off campus and girls one that's on campus. I have heard things about them that aren't all that bad or good. In time and curfews are at 6:30 pm so that's not good and you can't keep or use appliances like kettles.

Faculty: Several points: 1. A few teachers when I joined were beyond amazing. Eventually they all left college due to internal conflicts. One of them is still in college though. A few new ones who joined were good too but again most left formbwtter jobs. 2. Most teachers now, are one to hold grudges except w few they'll be unfair and subpar at teaching. 3. The course work and exam is by the Bangalore University. It's a v. bad course design. 4. Exams are timely but results are not I had to drop a year to get into Masters because of the delays.

Other: 1. Events campus fests are all fun because of student diversity so that's a good point. 2. Things to improve about the course, especially for psychology is to update it. Include relevant subjects and syllabus. 3. I had chosen a triple major (discontinued now) because at the time the professors were amazing. Wouldn't suggest the same now.
