This college is a place to start your art career.
Placements: Our college does not provide placements, but students get internships through their own skills. By doing internships, they gain more experience and have skill development. The internship helps students to be market ready and develop their skills. They can find jobs in various fields based on their experience.
Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is good, but the facilities provided are not very good. Washrooms are not properly well-maintained, and Wi-Fi facilities are not good. The food provided in the canteen is good. Medical facilities are not provided, and while in a year they conduct sports day.
Faculty: Teachers here are qualified and helpful. Their teaching method is also good. Practical assignments are important for a good percentage. You have to complete your task in a given period. The curriculum is not very relevant, and it is old and should be updated.
Other: I chose applied art, and through this course, you can opt for the advertising field. In a year they organise a fest, but other events are not provided.

It is a place where your creativity gets enhanced.
Placements: There are no placements in our college. Students pass out, make their portfolios and get jobs on their own. The college doesn't provide any placements to the students. The students have to search for internships on their own. The top recruiting companies mainly fall under the advertisement agencies.
Infrastructure: The college of arts provides a well-maintained library to the students that offer various books and knowledge about art. The classrooms are quite well-structured and properly built for different departments of the college. Wi-Fi and a canteen with decent food are available. But there are no hostel or medical facilities available. The college organizes a sports day once a year.
Faculty: The teachers are well-qualified and helpful. Some teachers take very good initiatives and make efforts to make students. It is not difficult to pass the exams till 3rd year, but you need to focus more on exams in the 4th year. The curriculum is relevant up to 80%, but it doesn't make students industry-ready completely.
Other: I am passionate about arts, and I am more into digital ones. I wanted to learn more about it, so this made me pursue this as my career. The curriculum could be updated, and there should be extracurricular activities.

There are no placements and curricular activities.
Placements: Basically, placements are not provided by our college, but you can apply for various jobs on your own or can start searching for internships. Having the experience to work in an official environment will help a lot for further jobs. Internships help a lot to gain skills and experience.
Infrastructure: There's no college hostel and medical facilities. Sports are not available here, but sports day is organised once a year. Due to some reason, canteen is closed in our college. The quality of some food items served in the canteen is fine, while for some items, it is not good. There is a library where a lot of good books are available for students to study.
Faculty: Teachers in this college are qualified, but some do not very actively interact with students. However, there are some very good teachers who actually make efforts for students. The course curriculum is slightly relevant that makes students industry-ready, but as there are no extracurricular activities that could give a lot of exposure, students do not get industry-ready even 90%. It is not hard to pass exams until 3rd year, but you need to focus in 4th year.
Other: I always wanted to do something in art, and when I got to know about this course, I was more than happy to pursue my passion as a career. The things that can be improved are curricular activities, holding various workshops and making students learn about the outside market. College life is amazing. You need to take the initiative.
