All you need to know before opting SJC, BANGALORE

1. I applied for Delhi School of Journalism, didn't attend since shifting to another city was an issue. I applied for Christ University, I didn't opt since I heard that exposure is not given to students and for my course it was necessary. I also applied for Kristu Jayanti College and Mount Carmel College didn't go since SJC was a priority. 2. No I didn't, 3. Admission criteria is the same as many other colleges. An aggregate of 60% is required in 12th. they would conduct an exam and an interview before you get enrolled. 4. I applied through SJC official website, after that they called for an exam. the results were declared the same day in the evening. list was put up on the SJC website. The next day, I had a PI and I was in. During an interview, they would walk you through the course and would let you know how challenging it's going to be.

1. I chose this course since I wanted to learn about Journalism alongside brushing my skills in Literature and this is the best combination one could go for. the course offers one type of journalism, Print Journalism. 2. The course offers a wide range of experienced and well-educated faculty. the English department is known to have the best facultya across bangalore. The overall EJP faculty consists of around 30 professors. While the class strength is esitmated to be near 60. 3. Each of the faculty is very experienced in thier field. they try to engage students in various activities and events to build up thier skills in all dimensions. 4. SJC is very disciplined when it comes to exams and it always conducts exams on time. it is not easy to get through the course EJP if you haven't studied much. Skimming doesn't help here. One needs to pay a lot of pf attention to what teachers say during the class.

I did have an entrance test that dealt with the basics of the course. some questions were asked from creative writing, while some were general knowledge. it was a 1-hour exam. once my name came on the list, I gave a personal interview which wasn't hard at all. anybody without preparation could sit as well as it was more of an introduction than questioning.
