Daily routine:
My routine included going to the college by 8.45 am and running to the canteen to get some breakfast. Class starts at 9, and in some cases 8. It lasts till 3 or 4 pm. There are two examinations conducted, Mid-semester and End- Semester exams. Projects are provided with both written and oral presentations. 

Quality and method of teaching:
The faculty is brilliant and has a great depth of knowledge. They're very approachable and friendly. They follow the methodology of presentations, written and verbal teaching and also takes us for field trips to provide a greater exposure.

Overall experience:
Joseph's is a place where you learn, grow and change as a person. It teaches you a lot. Not just about the course, but also about the society and the outside world. The culture of Joseph's is very diverse. For instance, my batch alone had students from 19 states and 2 from abroad. It also helps in broadening the minds of students. There are various associations and activities conducted, almost every week. The atmosphere is very positive and friendly. 

Joseph's also helps in learning a lot about social causes and supports them. The college organizes various sessions for that matter. I remember Akkai teaching my batch for one session about the life of a transgender. 

The music, the choir, the dance team, everything's amazing at the college. Not to forget the sports team and the food.
