B.Voc. Admissions: Personal Interviews

19 June. Bachelor of Vocation (Visual Media and Filmmaking) and B.Voc (Digital Media and Animation) aspirants will have their personal interviews conducted on Monday 23 June 2014.
Since most of our aspirants have already sat a written test for BVC, there won't be any written entrance test this time. In stead, we will have personal interviews on Monday, beginning 9.30 a.m.
But you need to get your complete portfolio, if you have.
 
Venue: PG Director's Office
(across road, behind the UG/Principal's block)

B.Voc Admissions Open

B.Voc Admissions Open
13 June. Now you can heave a sigh of relief! Admissions to Bachelor of Vocation - B.Voc. [Visual Media and Filmmaking] and B.Voc. [Digital Media and Animation]  is now open.
You could go to the St Joseph's College website and fill up the application (choosing whichever course appeals to you), and before "submit"ting it online, take a print out, post the original printed application with the required DD and other documents to the Principal, retain the photocopy with you.
http://sjc.ac.in/index.php/announcement_inner/index/2584/

Remember B.Voc. is a three-year Under Graduate (UG) programme, with multiple entry and exit points (for those wanting)

The College web page also gives details about the programmes like:
1. Admissions open online till 21st June, 2014 Saturday
2. Entrance test on 22nd June, 2014 Sunday
3. Interviews on 23rd June, 2014 Monday
4. Classes commence on 30th June, 2014 Monday

Film Making and Animation Courses
11 June. Many have been asking me about our two new B.Voc. programmes - 1) Visual Media and Filmmaking, and 2) Digital Media and Animation.

They are happening. We have received official approval from the UGC.
Admissions will begin next week. We will update details in a couple of days.

Admission Procedure:
You have to make a new online application. It is only online! If you have any difficulties, please come to the College with the necessary documents, and we will help you in filling up applications.  [You need documents like marks cards, soft copy pp-size photographs (with a hard copy, preferably), a DD for Rs. 300/- addressed to Principal, St Joseph's College Bangalore, towards for application and all your personal details.]

You will have to submit a new application, even if you had applied for any other course earlier.
There will be an entrance test mid-next week (date is to be announced); it could be Thursday. Most Probably, if everything goes on well!
The test will be followed by an personal interview.

Please remember, these are Under Graduate/ Bachelor's courses like BVC (Visual Communication). The difference  is the two new programmes are much focused, and are industry-oriented. You can leave the course at the end of any year, with a Diploma (after completing one year) or Advanced Diploma (after completing two years) or Bachelor's degree (after completing three full years successfully).

Course details:
These courses aim to help you become confident and proficient in one of the core components of the programme, like Photography, Cinematography & Editing, and Documentary/Music Videos, etc (B.Voc.- Visual Media & Filmmaking) or Graphic Design, 2-D Animation, or 3-D Modelling and Animation (B.Voc.- Digital Media & Animation)

Classes are expected to begin on 30 June 2014.


For any clarification, you may contact the Head of the Department of Communication, Rev Dr Richard Rego SJ or the College office.

If the HOD does not take the call, it could be he is in the class! Have patience.

New Courses: B.Voc. Interviews to be Held Soon
10 June. For those waiting for news about our new programmes, admissions for B.Voc. (Visual Media & Filmmaking) and B.Voc. (Digital Media & Animation) will commence in the next 5-6 days.
We will keep you updated both on this blog and on our College website.
