Chetana Patricia Lobo's Review On Jyoti Nivas College Autonomous, Bangalore

The college over all is good. There are really good eateries and other facilities in and around the college.

I took no examinations. I studied here from my pre-university and it is one of the oldest and the best women college in Bangalore.

It is an autonomous university. The syllabus and the corrections are done in house. The teaching staff are good, a balanced co-curriculum. The course structure is done well to benefit all students. We did not have much choice of electives. Our course was pre defined and structured, but we covered everything in our curriculum. We had to do projects, internships and much more.

We had Goldman Sacs, Google, Yahoo, E&Y, A lot of startup companies. Infosys, Wipro, CGI, IBM, Cabgemini.

We would have to join the placement cell for 1500. Attend placement training for two months. Then we would be notified of companies which come for aptitude round. if we get through aptitude round we would have interview. Then selection will be announced personally.

We had two major cultural fests per year. Then department fests, class fests, course fests, all major festivities celebration ( freshers day, teachers day, students day, college day, independence day) we had foreign exchange programs and inter collegiate programs, rallies, sports fests, clubs activities (Rotary, NCC, drama etc).

The structure was made feasible and affordable for all students. There were different slabs for different courses and students. Foreign students paid a different slab. There was EMI facility and much more. There was student bank facility offered by Vijaya Bank.

Ignou was a course offered by JNC. I have not availed any scholarship. The college did offer scholarships for some students.

It is all women college run by the christian missionary. There was not strict dress code as such jeans and casual wear was allowed for all students. No such thing as economic status or politics all were treated equally. No ragging occurred in any form in any department.

I am not a hostile person. I was a day scholar. The breakfast was bad. Lunch and dinner was workable good. Students had a good comfortable living in the hostel. There were some strict rules as well. No outside food allowed, no going out of campus without permission etc.

The college has an alumni day every year on Oct 2nd. The seniors we helpful with books, course material and project pass on. We are still in touch through social media with our teachers and other friends.

We had a good exam structure. We had 2 sets of exams per semester. Internal and external. Internals we has to write a mid semester paper, do a practical, viva and one project per subject for 40 marks. External was written at end of semester for 100 marks which was rounded off to 60%.

I had a score of 84% after my 10th I required no cut off for ARTS I got a spot on admission. Since I did ICSE and our results come out later than state board getting 80-90% marks for short list is necessary. The college has sports quota, christian community quota, sc/st quota, disable students quota. If your a brilliant student one round of panel interview and you receive spot on admission. If not you have to wait for getting shortlisted.

The college has a good strong faculty. The correction system for examination is good. We had good project guides for our project papers and assignments. Our departments had a lot of lecturers who were very helpful in every way possible. Notes were provides, study guides and materials, good library facility.
