St. John's College, Agra Placement
St. John's College, Agra Placement Overview 2025
St. John's College, Agra, established in 1850 and affiliated with Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University (DBRAU), is a historic Christian minority institution offering UG and PG programs in arts, science, commerce, and education. The college's Career Guidance and Placement Cell coordinates limited on-campus drives, job fairs, and skill workshops, but placements are not a core focus—many students pursue higher studies, government jobs, or off-campus opportunities. As of November 2025, the official 2025 placement report is unavailable, and the college does not participate in NIRF rankings for detailed metrics. Based on student reviews and verified data from 2023-24 batches, placement rates are modest (25-30% on-campus), with a focus on entry-level roles in IT, finance, and sales. Average packages range from INR 2-4 LPA, reflecting the college's emphasis on academics over corporate recruitment. Internships (from 5th semester) offer stipends of INR 10,000-20,000/month in sectors like chemistry, commerce, and biotech.
