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.

An Honest Review of My BSc Computer Science College Experience

Likes

The staff and faculty members are very supportive and good in nature.
Friendly student environment. Never heard of any ragging incident taken place.
They conduct Events, workshops, and different activities regularly and neatly.

Dislikes

Canteen food is limited and quality is average
Limited Campus placement opportunities and less industry experience
Lab equipment and resources needs to be improved,

Placement Experience:

Campus placement are limited in the college. A few companies visit during the final year, and students usually becomes eligible fromo the last semester. The packages offered are generally modest, mostly for entry-level roles. Only a small percentage of students get placed thorugh campus drives, while many prefer to apply off-campus for better opportunities. The college provides basic placement support such as info about job openings and guidance, but students need to build their own skills and prepare independently. After completing the degree, students prefer to pursue higher studied, professional courses, or entry-level IT jobs.

The reality check

Likes

The college professors are very particular about attendence and they will always keep there eye on your attendance and according to them attending is very important.
The college infrastructure is very good and there is vast space for students to chill and study library is also very spacious.
The teachers are always eager to solve our doubts and interact with us , the want the more and more students should approach them ask there doubts and discuss the syllabus etc.

Dislikes

I didn't like that sometimes over priority is given to the attendance I think a student can study well at his or her own sometimes only regularly attending lectures can't make you score more self study is important
The college don't have big ground earlier there used to be a big ground but it has gone for the construction work so, we only has a turf and a small ground.
The approach towards the teaching should be changed slightly and more practical based learning should be included.

Placement Experience:

The campus placement start from seventh semester and from third semester only students are enrolled in TPO Training and Placement Organisation where they train students withe various technical skills to acquire a good job. Various famous companies visit our college. Highest pakacge is of eight lakh per annum by Nice solutions. Percentage of student getting place on campus is less. After degree I will do a job.

Remarks:

Focusing on student's attendence rather than focusing on students concepts. College is not focusing in development of students only paperwork is done. No conceptul teaching nor practical. By doing this stuff we can get a btech degree but not the knowledge a btech student should have.
