It has good campus life. But there is a lot of favoritism going on
Placements: The percentage of students getting placed is about 40 students in each class, with there being only 2 classes, section A and section B. There is only one package in our course but you get to choose later in the following years. There are a lot of popular recruiters like the big companies of India like Swiggy, Amazon has also hired students from our college.
Infrastructure: Labs over here are fine. Hostel Wi-Fi is horrible, I come all the way to college to use the Wi-Fi. Hostels are average over here but I'm pretty sure that they are better than other colleges which offer much more worse. The mess is pretty decent over here as I have heard, it's much more better than other colleges. There are a lot of club activities over here so feel free to join anything.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified. But their values are very hypocritical comparing to what they teach. I actually wanted to change my course mid way but in the same institute. They were very hesitant at first but then I found out that they are lazy to make changes.
Other: The campus is amazing. It has good vibes. Definitely it is a place to visit.

Good infrastructure and staff. Manipal has a great student population and really nice student life.
Placements: In the year 2022, 60% of students applied for placements and all got placed either through the college or from some other source. The lowest package would be for a copywriter around 20,000-30,000 monthly. The highest package would be for a marketing professional or a film maker which could exceed 3-4 Lacs per month. Schbang, Genisis, Dentsu, Social Panga and alot of other big names in the industry are some of the recruiting companies for MIC.
Infrastructure: There is free Wi-Fi all around the campus, the hostels have tv room, game rooms, table tennis, carrom and alot of other activities for students to take a break. There is biometric check in and frequent checks from the caretakers for any illicit activities or ragging/bullying. The cantene food is very tasty and healthy as it is veg and non veg.
Faculty: Trained and teachers who are friendly and knowledgeable about their curriculum and syllabus which they have to teach the students who are in manipal institute of communication. Syllabus is very relevant and very interesting as well. The semester exams are a breeze if your prepared obviously, alot of material to read but very interesting.

Great infrastructure excellent exposure with a perfect crowd and college experience.
Placements: The placements are not done yet. Like a good percentage of people have got placed. I'm giving a mid score cause there are no companies related to video production coming. All the companies are from Ad and PR. Which is great for a lot of people as many are interested in that. It's unfair to people who are looking for some in video production. Schbang and Genesis are some top companies that have come .
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is very good. There is equipment for everything. There is good amount of computers and Mac's for Editing Design and Animation. There's a running radio station in the campus. If you have good grades you get a really good hostel rooms too. There are no complaints for hostel and it's very active with lot of activities going on every day.
Faculty: The curriculum is very well defined and perfect for our course. There's important Communication subjects in the first year then from second year onward you get to choose electives according to your choice. Some teachers are good and put effort in teaching but some just don't take classes properly.

MIC is an opportunity for personal growth and development.
Placements: I'd say around 60% of my batchmates sat for placements and almost everyone got placed in companies like schbang, 99games, genesis and other companies With the highest package of 5lakhs per year and the lowest of 3.5. We get to choose our mandatory internships in 2nd semester and the college will guide you through the process.
Infrastructure: You can have unlimited access to the campus library and the labs. Every classroom is equipped with ACs. The campus has a common room to just hangout with friends and an affordable Canteen with all the munchies you need. The vibe of the entire campus is very artsy and authentic.
Faculty: The faculty and staff of mic is very helpful and are always ready to help no matter whatever Help you need. The course is divided into 6 semesters, the last one being the specialisation. MIC is a place for self learning and self development, the course will ACT as a guide you through the industry and prepare you only if you are willing to.

It has good faculty members, infrastructure, great college life, and amazing facilities.

The production house and even movie fields like cinematography, videography, and photography.
Infrastructure: It has a good library. We have air-conditioned classrooms and it has a good canteen. The campus reminds you of living the country life. We have great labs and a multimedia and radio room. We have interactive classrooms. A lot of activities to enhance various skills such as college newspapers, drama clubs, and college blogs. Hostel rooms are good but quite small and good mess food.
Faculty: Teachers are extremely qualified and well-read. Teachers are extremely well-read about their respective studies. Teachers use a lot of real-time examples to explain.
