Course Curriculum Overview

We had 22 Modules and 3 Workshops in our course with a total of 405 Sessions (81 Credits) and 6 sessions (no-credit). The course was 10-month in duration and had a compliation of print, broadcast and online journalism and we were taught using media in all three. The course was a bit hectic but gave you a overall training on getting into the field.

Placement Experience

Our course was a professional development course so most of the students looked into NGOs, publishing, news, and broadcast companies that would provide good jobs and packages. The teachers were also a great help in helping us figure it out.

Fee Structure And Facilities

My total course fees was 3,25,230 rupees, this also included the registration fees and library costs. The total course was quite feasible for a professional level training course. I chose the course because it offered the high-skill level training in such a price.

Campus Life

We had so many functions throughout the year in Xavier's. We celebrated many cultural and festivals. We also had annual days and other functions students could participate in. We also were allowed to have dorm parties if we took proper permission.

Hostel Facilities

My time in the hostel was some of the best in my life. It was truly a home away from home. The prices were very reasonable and they had many facilities like big rooms, recreation rooms, and a big mess with good food.

Admission

I first applied for the entrance exam and was shortlisted there. They asked me to come in for a group discussion, after that i was asked to attend a personal interview where they asked me basic generic questions like why i want to do the course. After few weeks they contacted me and told me i got admitted.

Faculty

Our department faculty were highly qualified and had years of experience working as a journalists and in their respective fields. The non-teaching staff like the people you go the rent the equipments were also were very helpful and great. They taught us a lot and also gave us accessibility.

COLLEGE REVIEW OF IBSAR BELAPUR

Likes

The good thing about this college is affordability and how quick the admission process is.
Teachers are friendly too, there is no mandatory attendance rule and the lecs are conducted three days a week for mca students which gives them the freedom to work or switch between lecs and personal things
The feedbacks of students are taken seriously and the staff is changed accordingly. Students can freely talk to faculty about the performance of teachers and quality of education.

Dislikes

There is no campus in this college which limits student activities for events or other things.since the lecs are not conducted daily or as like other colleges , very less class count is there which affects the interactivity as well.
The quality of infrastructure is not quite good as the college is there in two floors of the building only. Campus amenities are average as well. There aren't much opportunities as such in this college like industrial level or any.
If anyone wants to experience and actually college life with the whole campus experience,events , activities or other things ,this college isn't a good fit

Placement Experience:

During the admission the students are told that in semester four , just students are eligible for campus placements and some of the companies come for a placements and even the undergraduate students are placed . The name of the companies that come for the placement include Vector ,HDFC Bank etc but in admission pamplets huge company names are provided like infosys, wipro, etc. the average packages are 300000 -500000 per year. The cgpa of students should be higher than 7. I am planning for an on campus as well as off campus placements.
