Entrance Tests for Post Graduate Courses

20 Apr. Entrance tests for many of our post graduate programmes at St Joseph's College (Autonomous), Bangalore would be held on 27th April, in the morning.

All those who have filled in their applications online and printed and posted them with a DD to the College have been intimated about this through e-mail.

In case, you have not received an invitation for the test, you could still come, but with the printed copy of your online application and the DD.

PG Programmes like MS Mass Communication, MSW, Chemistry, and Microbiology have entrance tests followed by personal interviews (Note: some like Botany, English, Political Science, Economics, Computers may have only interviews! These are most likely to be on Monday, 28/04/2014)

For Mass Comm, your test will be in the morning at 9.00 O'Clock. The results of the written test would be posted on the College website and on this blog that night; and those selected, will be invited for personal interviews on the following day (28/4/2014).

What to study? How to prepare?
Well, we expect you to be journalists or professional communicators. But we expect that you be aware of the world around you, about which you come to know from newspapers, television news channels, radio or news websites. And, of course, an openness and readiness to work hard to build your future.

Those Under Graduate programmes which have written entrance tests, will have them on 18/05/2014, followed by personal interviews the next day. There are a few other UG courses, which have only interviews. And these will be held from next week till the first week of May, according to their schedules. Hopefully, most of you have received your invite! If not, please get back to the College.

Choirs sing for Sikkim earthquake victims

The season of Christmas was ushered in by the annual feature of the festival of carols, Humanitas, on Sunday, December 18. A number of choirs from city colleges took part. The prominent ones were St Joseph's College, St Joseph's College of Commerce, Christ University, Mount Carmel College, Jyoti Nivas, among others.

The choirs sang both traditional as well as contemporary carols, which included Go Tell it on the Mountains, Mary rock your baby, Baby Jesus is born, besides many other renditions that set the mood of Christmas.

This year the collection made from this charity show will be donated to the Sikkim earthquake victims, the organisers said.

Over 2000 students march past at Annual Sports Day

It was indeed a historic day for St Joseph’s College on Friday, as, perhaps, for the first time in its 129 years of existence, over 2000 students from 64 classes took part in a colourful march past at the Annual Sports Meet. It was a sight to watch what with enthusiastic students clad in a variety of attire marching to the beats of the band, filling almost the entire College grounds. What was unique about the whole march past was the fact that even many class mentors marched along with their students, adding to the festive mood on the campus.

The successful march past was the culmination of weeklong practice sessions held repeatedly by the students. In many cases, the teachers took the initiative to teach the students to put the right marching steps. It all ended so well, with almost 100 per cent participation and co-operation both by the students and the teachers.

The Annual Sports Day was inaugurated by Anumpama Shivappa, internationally renowned hockey umpire. In her message she motivated the students to focus on the goal and strive hard to achieve it. “I urge you students to have a goal in anything that you do and work hard to achieve it, no matter what the difficulties are,” she said. She also added that it gave her a special feeling to be part of such a wonderful gathering.

Principal, Fr Daniel Fernandes said that sports day was a special day to recognise the contribution of so many students who brought laurels to the College. “We have so many students who are good in sports and are bringing honour to the Collge. It is our responsibility to recognise their talents and honour them,” he said.

The mood at the inaugural of the Sports Day was one of fun and excitement. Rightly was a student overheard saying, “What a special feeling!”
