Q What is a "college"?

A A college is a community of students, professors and college Fellows, administrative support staff and facilities. Physically, it's made up of a residence for students and academic building(s) where classes are held, but a college is so much more than just a building.

All full-time undergraduates & postgraduates become members of one of the six colleges at JIS GROUP, whether you live on campus or not.

At JIS Group of Colleges, we believe that the college system provides a way to build the closest possible relationship between professors and students within the context of a large multi-faculty university. In other words, the college system keeps you in touch with real people who can answer your academic and non-academic questions, help you when you're confused or worried any time of day or night, lend a hand cutting through the "red tape" or celebrate with you when you graduate.

Need help with planning an essay - ask your Academic Advisor. Into team sport? Join your college-mates in inter-college competition and you could win the momento. Looking for a quiet place to study? Check out your college common room. More in the mood to party? Head for your college canteen!

The more you get involved, the more important your college will become to your life - at JIS Group of colleges and in the future.
