During my 3 years at Rajagiri College of Social Sciences, the support that I received from the faculty here, has encouraged me to come out of my comfort zone and push myself beyond my limits. It was such a privilege to pursue both of my interests at the same time. The years that I have spent here, have added value to my life and helped in shaping my future. I had countless opportunities to enhance my knowledge and also interact with great personalities from the industry. My leadership skills and proactive thinking were enhanced through the various programs and events conducted by the college. Life at Rajagiri is truly a celebration.

My life at Rajagiri has been etched as an irreplaceable memory that I will cherish for lifetime. The college has provided me with several opportunities to develop myself, not just academically but from a holistic perspective. The faculty members have worked tirelessly in grooming us for being corporate professionals without compromising on our morals, values and ethics. I will forever be grateful to Rajagiri for handholding me in bettering myself and for the innumerable experiences I was provided with that enabled me to go beyond my own inhibitions and achieve my true potential.

Aditya E. S. MSW 2015-17 Batch

“MSW course provided me a greater level of confidence to take-up the challenges. During the course I have been given opportunity to undertake field work with NGOs in other states like Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. This has helped me to develop a clear perspective towards rural scenario. I believe that this experience has helped me to get my present job and obviously the MSW course content, training and teaching methodology and guidance of teachers of Rajagiri College moulded me as a competent social worker.”

Jinto K Mathew MSW 2014-16 Batch

“The experience from the Rajagiri College of Social Sciences helped me a lot to be more competitive in the field of social work. It also enabled me to develop skills not only personally but also professionally. The knowledge gained from the training sessions provided during the study can be applied in the working station and has been recognized the same in my institution. I am really grateful to my faculty members, in fact their guidance and motivation influenced significantly in my life.”

Mathew T. John (BSW 2013-2016)

“I entered Rajagiri College of Social Sciences for doing my BSW, 6 years back, I was not contented with ‘profit and loss’ overview of the world and my thirst for a deeper engagement and learning about the society, led me to choose this wonderful course in Rajagiri. This was one of the major turns in my life and looking back at it, I’m truly happy. This course not only offered a textual understanding about my surrounding but I got to experience layers of explorative learning with field work in each semester. Rajagiri also offered various avenues for my personal growth too. I was the President of the students’ union named ‘SWARAJ’ which helped me work on my leadership skills under the guidance of a well experienced faculty team. All the experience I gathered those 3 years and forward, is truly helping me, as I currently work as a Social Work educator.”

Elizabeth Jacob (BSW 2016-2019)

As a human being, I believe that the core of man’s spirit comes from new experiences, and to have got the opportunity to do Bachelor of Social Work at Rajagiri College of Social Sciences has been truly fulfilling to my spirit. Even though Social Work wasn’t my interest initially, it became my passion after going through the social work training I received here. I was hesitant to join Rajagiri due to my bias that being in Kerala wouldn’t provide exposure to the larger world, but the exposure I received here with regard to organizational visits, concurrent fieldwork, summer placement, club activities, conferences and the world within library, was more than I could’ve ever hoped for. Rajagiri opened my eyes to the realities of human life I was ignorant of. Every aspect of this institute, be it academic or extra-curricular, has helped a lot in developing myself multifold. Now, as I am pursuing Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Management at Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) the fire of social work still burns bright. I will always be a social worker by spirit whichever profession I take up because what I’ve learnt during my BSW journey would always remain and reflect in my actions.

Tony James (BSW 2012-2015)

"Throughout my 3 years of Bachelor of Social work at Rajagiri College of Social Sciences I had countless opportunities to develop interpersonal skills, Intrapersonal skills, leadership skills and proactive thinking through various programs and events organized by the Department of Social Work. These attributes were the key reasons because of which I was successfully placed as the coordinator of Trivandrum Don Bosco Veedu Society. Big thanks to all my faculty members and friends for this amazing journey at RCSS. I believe the field work, Rotaract club activities and mentoring provided by the college helped me to develop a good career in Social Work.

This place is an amalgamation of learning, culture, fun, enjoyment and many more life preaching activities. This is a unique place to study and enjoy that no one feel regret about.

Nicole C Joseph M Sc Psychology

I found the course very interesting, challenging and holistic. Unlike in other colleges, ‘Rajagiri Centre for Behavioural Sciences and Research’ (RCBSR) ensures that the course they provide goes beyond the university curriculum by including additional useful courses like PEBL (Psychology Experiment Building Language). The faculties are very competent and supportive and encourage students to challenge themselves academically in each step of the way. The faculties do a very good job of motivating the students to open up their horizons and to actually seek new knowledge and concepts rather than just mug up whatever is in the curriculum. The department does not only focus on developing their student’s academic and research potentials but also strives hard to mold them into socially responsible and adept individuals. The department takes up various initiatives to meet the requirements of the needy in the form of free medical camps, flood relief etc. Overall, the course has definitely gifted me with an enriching and growing experience as an individual as well as a student of psychology.

I completed my B.Sc. in Psychology from Rajagiri College of Social Sciences, Kalamassery in 2019. I had a fruitful experience while doing my course. Although the psychology department was new, Rajagiri Center for Behavioural Sciences and Research (RCBSR) never failed to leave us awestruck with its infinite possibilities to enhance our future. The department, our loving faculty members and the department's backbone, dean,Dr. Fr. Varghese K Varghese inspired us to chase our dreams and become responsible citizens. Being the first batch, we had the privilege to host Psyesta, the national psychology fest, and to host and attend various national and international conferences. The department is equipped with the best faculty and latest tests and resources required for the smooth completion of the course.
