Should you pick MSW Correctional Social Work at St Aloysius?
This course suits students who want correctional fieldwork and can handle weekly field visits.

You want correctional fieldwork: the syllabus has criminal justice and social defence in semester 3, with fieldwork every semester.

You need a modest fee: the full fee without hostel is INR 1.60 Lakhs, as the fee block shows.
You can prepare for an entrance test: selection gives 50:50 weightage to the test and your degree marks.
Skip it if:

In short
Christ has stronger city hiring and higher pay, but it costs INR 1.40 Lakhs more. If you need Bengaluru exposure, pick Christ; if fee matters more, keep St Aloysius higher.
In short
Mangalore University is the lowest-fee option, but the pay and placement support are lower. If you need a private campus with hostels, keep St Aloysius above it.
In short
Loyola pays more on average and has a smaller class, but it is outside Karnataka. If you want Mangalore and correctional work, St Aloysius fits better.

FAQs on St Aloysius MSW Correctional Social Work
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is MSW Correctional Social Work at St Aloysius worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you want fieldwork in correctional and social defence settings. The full fee without hostel is INR 1.60 Lakhs and the median pay used here is INR 3.0 LPA, so the fee is modest for a two-year PG course. Check the fee block before you take a loan.
Should I take this course if I want a counselling job?▾
Yes, if you are ready for field visits and case notes. The course has fieldwork every semester and block placement in the final year, so it builds practice before final jobs. Ask the department which agencies took the last batch before you pay the first fee.
Is this course good for correctional social work jobs?▾
Yes, this is the clearest reason to pick it. The course name itself is Correctional Social Work, and the syllabus includes criminal justice and social defence in semester 3. If that is your goal, prepare well for the entrance test and interview.
Who should skip this course at St Aloysius?▾
Skip it if you want a high salary first or if field visits make you uncomfortable. The median pay used here is INR 3.0 LPA, and fieldwork is compulsory in every semester. Pick it for social work practice, not for a quick corporate pay jump.
Is the hostel cost worth adding?▾
Add hostel only if you need to stay on campus. The hostel and food cost is INR 1.70 Lakhs for the full course, which takes the total from INR 1.60 Lakhs to INR 3.30 Lakhs. If you live nearby, keep the hostel toggle off and use that saving for fieldwork travel.
Will I get placed after this MSW course?▾
The department shows 75% average placement, so many students do get placed. The jobs can be in health, development, social service and HR support. Ask for the latest course-wise list because the public data is for the Social Work department, not only this specialisation.
Should I choose this over a general MSW?▾
Choose this if correctional work, social defence and criminal justice interest you. A general MSW may leave more room to choose later, but this course gives a clearer path. Read the course structure above and ask the department about the fieldwork agencies for the latest batch.
Is it safe if I have just 45% in my degree?▾
It is safe only for the mark rule, not for final selection. General category needs 45%, while SC, ST and Category I need 40%. Final selection still uses 50:50 weightage for the entrance test and degree marks, so prepare for the test.
How do I get admission to this MSW course?▾
Apply online on the university PG admission portal. After the form is checked, the university sends the entrance test and interview details. Keep your marks card, phone number, photo and payment receipt ready, because the process moves through the same portal.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full two-year tuition fee is INR 1.60 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and food, the total becomes INR 3.30 Lakhs. The fee block above shows both totals and the education loan EMI, so use that before you decide how to pay.
Can I get a scholarship for this course?▾
Yes, but the final amount depends on your category, income and college approval. The calculator above shows support from INR 40,000 to INR 80,000. Keep income papers ready, and ask the college office which endowed scholarships are open for PG students.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes, the college says students can pay fees in parts and get fee concessions or freeships when approved. The tuition fee used here is INR 80,000 a year. Ask the fee office for the payment dates before you submit the admission form.
