Worth it in this field and quite good.

Placements: 10 percent placed while pursuing, as one is placed in the Haryanvi industry, and I'm looking for a good job of 12-13 LPA. One is placed. Mostly, camera person and editing jobs are available in media houses and production houses, and we are referred to companies, while some companies recruit on campus.

Infrastructure: Facilities are provided, but mostly old equipment is there. There are problems with most projectors. Classes are good, studios are good. The total infrastructure is small in terms of a film school and for shooting purposes.

Faculty: Knowledgeable and cooperative faculty recruited from FTII and SRFTII. In this era of cinema, we can’t learn from outside, it will skip the struggle of 5-6 years, and we get the job. Exam levels are not difficult, but on average, if one studies daily, they can easily pass the exams.

Other: I love photography and want to learn cinematography also.

College campus is good and well-utilized in terms of infrastructure. Studios are big.

Placements: Basically, it's our last year but last year students got placed somewhere. The highest package is 14 LPA. Roles offered are cameraman, cinematographer, and light man. Otherwise, the package varies. Internships are being provided in college. Percentage of last year was good.

Infrastructure: Everything is quite good on our campus if we talk about infrastructure. Canteen food is genuinely good at this time. We have not lived in hostel so we don't know about hostel and its food. Wi-Fi is active. Classrooms are air-conditioned, and library is the best place in the whole college.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified from FTII, NSD so it's relevant. We are in process of getting ready for the industry. Exams are moderate and sometimes difficult to assess our knowledge. 99.9 percent of people pass with good percentage. Some students are not attentive, and they only fail.

Other: Course is good if we talk about guidance skills-based teachers and functional system of campus. On-set visits are required. Events keep on happening on regular basis, and they are informative and sometimes enjoyable.

Overall, everything is nice.

Placements: Students got 75 percent in our course. Netflix is the top recruiting company. The highest package is 14 LPA, the lowest is 3 LPA, and the average is 7 LPA. 65 percent of students got an internship, and the company name is Stage Vertical Web Series. The top role offered in our course is cinematography.

Infrastructure: Facilities are average, like Wi-Fi is very poor, labs are good, classrooms are good, library is excellent, and overall infrastructure is good. The hostel facility is average, and the food is good. They give medical facilities, and sports and games are excellent.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, knowledgeable and highly qualified. Teaching quality is also good. The course is very relevant. It makes students industry-ready. Exams are of average difficulty, and 45 percent is the passing percentage in our college exams.

Other: I chose cinematography to pursue visual storytelling, blending artistic expression with technical mastery of light, camera, and composition. The course is good because it teaches me how to master light (the essence of the craft). Technical camera operation and lens theory. I would wish to see cinematography courses improve by heavily interacting with modern virtual production workflows (like LED volumes), dedicating more time to advanced digital assets management and color pipeline training to keep pace with technology, and providing stronger practical modules. There are more events and festivals in our college than studies. No scholarship in our college.

Decent education but lacks consistency sometimes, but creativity and rules are taught precisely.

Placements: Batch is continuous, so no placement confirmation at least till the upcoming final semester. However, our senior batch’s placement is nearly 60 percent. The highest package is marked at 14.7 LPA, the average is 7.5 LPA, and the lowest is marked as 3.6 LPA for the previous batch. Well-recognized companies and production houses come and recruit.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very professional, with well-structured studios, classrooms, and a library is the best place to invest time and productivity. Overall, the infrastructure is quite balanced to keep everything mobile and requirements as it has to be for decent academic flexibility.

Faculty: Teaching quality is extremely great with some teachers, and some are shallow in educating students. Teachers are helpful, they guide us, they mentor us, and do not intimidate students, but are supportive and understandable. The course is perfectly balanced to learn enough about media and entertainment. Exams are also conducted respectively.

Other: I chose this course to educate and prepare myself for the entertainment and media industry with a work-friendly environment. This course seems the fittest (M.Sc. Cinema) because its duration is 2 years. The crowd on campus is filled with people from different cultures and places.
