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.

The internship for MA PART 2 continuous for 9 months
The faculty here is well qualified for the job role and has immense knowledge
Locality,its just walkable distance from the railway station

Dislikes

The timings may effect the people who travel from far away eg virar or thane

Course Curriculum Overview:

For first year you are supposed to take up internship from your own and for second year the college with place you somewhere so this is usually done to make you ready for real world. You also have internal tests along with assignments and with internship so sometimes it gets exhausting I feel this area should be improved.

Likes

The seminars conducted by the college are very insightful
Facilities are all very helpful and supporting. They make me feel like maybe it's not that bad being away from home
The amphitheater of our college is a very cozy addition. It's a place that brings all of us together

Dislikes

College being at the very end of the campus, it requires us to walk a huge span everyday. It's especially tiresome for people who do a daily commute.
No canteen or any stationary shops nearby to come in help during needful times
No leaves on government holidays and compulsory attendance on days most of us can't make it

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements during their 9th semester i.e 4th year of our 5year degree. Hafeez contractor, sanjay puri architects, CP kukreja architects, etc are the companies visited 75% of students are placed every year is what I've heard from my seniors tho I'm still not sure since being in ny first year I've not reached there yet My plan after getting the degree is to join a firm and after getting ample experience i plan to establish my own firmm. Hopefully i achieve that. I do have faith????

Dislikes

Faculty being good they are sassy and might ignore for a time to teach you that not everything will be entertained

Journey of passion in DPCOE

Likes

I really liked the infrastructure of the college its very nice and has good environment .
DPCOE is famous for its sports , it has massive turf where kids of 4 to 5 age has their matches
Also i like my department , as i am an automobile engineering we need most practical knowledge , this college offers a big workshop just for us an also yearly event for automobile students . Also clubs are there which has reputation of national rank

Dislikes

I kind of felt that faculty can be biased sometimes also do not care what and how we want to study .
Watchman can be little rude sometimes , also informing that their are exam coming in next week are to be informed at leat 10 days before. I have a suggestion of preparing acadamic calender of year

Course Curriculum Overview:

Soo ever since kid i was interested in bikes this interest was all for me to take this course , my father is very bike enthusiast and it came down to me , i could easily take mechanical and other engineering cause these are common courses which involves automobile , but since i wanted to follow my passion , i wanted to do specialization in automobile itself and DPCOE was offering this course with great facilities and knowledge providing us a path in this lane of career in this field. According to me curriculum prepares us quite well as they conduct workshop which are relevant to outside world where we'll be working. If there were more practical workshops for us to work on would be great cause automobile engineering is all about practicals rather than theoroticals Professor should try teaching in physical part rather than taking lectures and explaining the concept by just words

Campus is huge and there is to much space for walk and greenari
Affordable price in cantin same we eat outside.
Not that much strict environment than many of the college.

Dislikes

Campus is huge but is mostly empty need of development.
Need of infrastructure and sports facility for students.
Need of contact no. Of emergency contact of the staff.

Placement Experience:

I talk with most of the senior and faculty and placement cell start of 3 rd year you will get internship opportunities and and in 4 th year you will get placement opportunity. But senior told me off campus placement preparation must be go on you will find good opportunity. Highest package is 12 lpa and average is 4 lpa is good for freshers.

Rhythm. It’s a cultural fest that this college hosts and it is the only time of the year where there’s a vast majority of events you could participate in.
TECHITHON. It’s a Tech fest that this college hosts and it has tech events which encourages students to grow and learn more as this aligns with our course.
Friends. The last and only good thing about this college I’d say are the friends I’ve made across the years.

Dislikes

Infrastructure. I’m not really a fan of the infrastructure that is being provided by this college.
Campus. The campus has many such areas that cannot be accessed by students and god knows for what reason.
Stupid Rules. One stupid rule i can think of is that students are not allowed to use their cell phones in the campus nor can the students use their headphones without being on their phones despite it being an Engineering college this makes no sense.

Course Curriculum Overview:

This course currently is in high demand and this is the course which offers the highest percentage of placements. Computer Engineering is the fundamental course one could pursue if they want to get into technology. We currently have 2 Internal Exams in each semester which prepares us well for the semester.

I liked how they support any type of sports or passion that the student likes.
All the laboratories have the required equipment ready for the practicals to be performed.
The canteen of the college has varities of food and snacks for students or staff members.

Dislikes

Sometimes Lectures are not being conducted properly in the classroom.
The classroom and labs are dirty. The walls have smudges and footprints from shoes.
Most of the computers in the laboratory do not function and are very poor in terms of specs.

Placement Experience:

As I have heard people mostly get placements from this college itself. If not they go for their degrees and take placement there. The salary is mostly around 5 lakhs per annum which is decent enough for most students. According to the principal from the college if a student studies afterwards for degrees this number racks up to 18 lakhs.
