It is very good, and the culture of the college is very good.
Placements: I got 75% in college. The highest package offered is 4 LPA. The recruiting companies are Hamdard and New Sharma. Maybe 10% of students are getting placed. Management will give you the knowledge of your course by providing an internship of 6 months, where you can learn how to work and what a job is. All the things are very good.
Infrastructure: All the facilities are present in the college, and all is well, good enough, and well developed. I love to go to college. The teachers and the professors are very good, they will help you in any situation. Every 500 meters, there is one canteen that serves hygienic food.
Faculty: The teachers are very calm and well-qualified. The exams are not that difficult, it's easy. The pass percentage is 33%. They will help you in the exam to understand the questions and provide water for you, and before the exam, they will teach us the right way to write the answers.
Other: The scope of this course is good, there are so many things to learn. Maybe the rooms are not good, because they are very dirty. This college organizes so many events and fests.

One of the best colleges in India.
Placements: Placement at Jamia Millia Islamia is very good. At least 90% of students are placed in my course last year. The highest salary package I know of was 85 LPA, and the average salary package was around 10 LPA - 15 LPA. Mostly, HCL and Infosys visit Jamia Millia Islamia for recruitment.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in our course department are very good. Wi-Fi is available throughout the university, and the labs are well-equipped with good furniture and machines. Classrooms are very clean, with fresh paint and a well-maintained structure. The library is excellent, and there are many libraries available at JMI.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality at Jamia Millia Islamia is excellent. All teachers are very good and easy to understand. The main thing is they are approachable. This semester's exams are difficult, but they are challenging only for those who don't study in class.
Other: I chose this course because it is one of the best courses available at the university. In my opinion, improvements can be made in areas such as campus events, ground connectivity, campus surroundings, and scholarships. Extracurricular activities are available at Jamia Millia Islamia and are good.

Review of A.J.K. Mass Communication Research Centre.
Placements: I am registered in a course where no placement cell sits for students. You have to do the whole process by yourself. Even though there is no plan for the internship. They give no time for that. The whole idea is to concentrate on the self. There is no system for placement in this course but others have the same.
Infrastructure: The course is well-designed by the teachers. They provide a well-structured course design. It is worth the penny. The hostel service is provided but not well designed. The hostel is allotted to those who belong to another state except Delhi. There is an interview process for a hostel.
Faculty: The faculty of JMI for this department is the best. They are all well-taught teachers like Sohini Gosh, Anugyan Nag, and many others. The teachers themself make the exam pattern. There are mid sem and last final exams. There are internal assignments that are also graded.
Other: The course costs 75000 rupees for one year. An additional amount of 3,000 rupees is required for a security deposit, which is also due for the next year. Campus life is enjoyable for those who live off-campus, but for hostel residents, there are many restrictions, such as not being allowed to go out after 10 o'clock.
