100% strong infrastructure. Strong roots and rich in culture. This is an artistic hub.
Placements: We don't get any placement as it is a government college and we study fine arts. So there is no scope for a placement. But the education system and the course are outstanding. They make us explore every little thing, so we can work efficiently outside after completing college.
Infrastructure: We have our own hostel. The hostels are very clean and the food we are given is good enough. We have our own library, lab classes, Wi-Fi connection (if needed), and we even get cameras if we need them for an exam, study or any project. We have gaming rooms, a big field and a gallery.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful. We have to study a lot and also do practical work, but it is always a pressure for us. We have enough time to prepare. The exams are quite easy because the teachers teach us really well. The percentage of students passing is 25%. There are also many internal examinations that we need to pass to be allowed in the semester.
Other: I chose this course because I liked the subject and this university made me love it. We have 2 fests a year and there are many departmental occasions.

It is the best college for arts and performing arts. You can definitely take admission in it.
Placements: I am from BA drama Hons, and most of the students get placed in theatre, television and other activities. Our alumni who got placed from here act as a lead role and side role, and they are doing directory and other roles.
Infrastructure: RBU hostel is quite good, but they don't have enough seats for all students. RBU has five hostels in which three for girls and two for boys. It also includes one hostel for SC and ST students, but another hostel is constructed. The hostel has all the facilities, and the mess and canteen are good. You can play sports, and medical facilities are also available.
Faculty: RBU teachers help all the students, and they listen to everyone's problems. They taught us very well and in an easy way. If we make any mistakes, they correct them. If you attend every class perfectly, you don't get any problems during exams. I suggest everyone to attend every class.
Other: I am a science student. From the 3rd-4th class, I was interested in acting and television, so I have chosen this course. I don't think anything is wrong with the course.
