Saint Joseph University (SJU) maintains a student-faculty ratio of approximately 60:1, suitable for its largely theoretical courses. The faculty, particularly in the Economics and Political Science departments, is praised for being approachable and supportive. SJU offers a diverse range of courses, attracting a large number of students, which sometimes limits facilities. Despite this, the faculty remains experienced and accessible. Each semester features two exams: mid-semester, evaluated internally, and end-semester, evaluated externally.
SJU hosts a strong placement program starting from the 4th semester, with top firms like McKinsey, D. E. Shaw, Deloitte, and banks such as Federal Bank, Axis Bank, and ICICI Bank recruiting students. Average placement packages range from 3 to 7 lakh per year, with some courses reaching up to 24-30 lakh per annum. The highest package this year was 4 lakh per annum. Internships, beginning in the second year, offer stipends up to 15,000 rupees and align with academic subjects, enhancing career pathways.
In-house internships, available in public relations and human resources, provide additional academic credits. Tuition fees vary by category and course. Indian students pay Rs 42,000 annually, local students Rs 32,000, and SC/ST students Rs 26,000. An extra Rs 10,000 is charged for foreign languages. The Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Political Science costs Rs 39,590 in the first year, Rs 35,000 in the second, and Rs 37,000 in the third.
