Review on Kristu Jayanti College, Autonomous

Postives: - 3 major subjects covered within 3 years. - Options to add other preffered subject along with the main course. - Ability to divert to another field for Master's. Negatives: - Less time of study reduces the level of knowledge in each of the 3 individual subjects. - Bad combinations that have no relation to the other subjects. Summary: The course very well prepares us for the real world and further higher academic pursuits. Reducing the subjects to a dual major would be better for in depth study or increasing the time period to 4 years would also be great. More of practicals would be nice as it provides more practice for real life scenarios. The exams are difficult but the notes provided by the teacher in class and online makes the learning experience so much better.

Campus Life, Campus Life is great as it has a very vibrant campus with lush green atmosphere. Clubs, The college has a lot of clubs like KCDC, YRC, Music Academy, Dance Academy, EIC, NCC, etc. Infrastructure, The main campus in Kothanur consists of 4 blocks, a badminton court, football court, basketball court, more than 10 auditoriums, 3 main food courts with over 10+ restaurants and cafes, etc. Events, A lot of cultuaral and sport events are conducted by the college and other universties in which the college actively participates. Libraries, The college has 3 main books with over 15,000 books ful of knowledge and information. Technology, The classrooms are occupied with projectors. There also over 10 computer labs fully equiped with computers and the required softwares. There are also many other labs like the forensic lab, physics lab, math lab, psycology lab , etc.

Hostel Facilities, I donot recommend the college hostel at all due to the time restricitions and poor treatment towards the students. The rooms are 3 sharing and 2 sharing with attached bathroom. There is lift access to all floors and other facilities like washing machine, security cameras, 24/7 security guards etc. Despite all this the hostel management's atittude towards the students are very bad and rude. An important point is that these hostel are not directly under the college managemtn but only affiliated to college, which means the college does not have complete authority towards the hostel and its activities. Mess, Hostel Mess is only average and not that great, but there are many other mess and restaurants that provide monthly mess facility nearby. Some of them are Panoor restaurant, Bombay spice, Malabar mess, amma mess, apni ras, etc. Hostel, The hostels recommended by the college are very expesive and try to squeze the money out of the students. But there are many other PG hostels nearby hostel like Livesta, Stanza living, etc. Rented Accomodation, There are many rentable appartments and flats around the college. Average rents are provided below, 1RK - 4k to 10k 1BHK - 10k to 12k 2BHK - 10k to 25k 3 BHK - Above 25k

Faculty, The faculty of this college is very well experienced and has years worth of knowledge. They are higly efficient and always approachable.

Also all of the dual major degree programs are converted to triple major from 2024 as per the directions of Bengaluru North University.

There are many gyms within a 1km radius of the campus. There are also various restaurants and cafes. There are few party cafes, turfs and gaming arenas as well. The college hostels have a 9pm curfew for boys and 8pm curfew for girls. Although this varies from hostel to hostel, this is a standard timeline for most of the hostels and PG's around the area. Famous hangout spots include RKC, Games and food cafe, Lickies, Teayos, Smoke Meister, etc. The locality is safe for walks and roaming around until 10pm after which there is strict police checking.
