Placements & Internships : I had the opportunity to intern twice, in my first and second year of college. In the first year i interned at 'Inonit' an online shopping portal. I was into content writing while working with them. In my second year i had the pleasant opportunity of interning at Ogilvy and Mather advertising which is one of the best advertising agencies in the country. While at Ogilvy I was interning in the client servicing department and was working for 'Dove' (Haircare). The placement cell of the college does make efforts to get internsip and job opportunities for the students but there is scope for more. College officially does not have campus hiring but the placement cell does post on the colleges facebook page regarding internship and job opportunities.

We have eminent journalists and advertisers as part of our faculty. Sophia as an institution helps with the holistic development of a student.

College Infrastructure & Hostel Facilities : College has an on campus hostel to accommodate to out station students.
