I am absolutely satisfied with the faculty.
Placements: About 80% of students are placed. Our students work in NDTV, TIMES NOW, and so on. This course requires talent. Students get placed in good companies. Public relations is the top job role. One of our alumni was the assistant director of the 777 Charlie movie.
Infrastructure: College and hostel has Wi-Fi. College provides lab facilities. There are 2 Labs both with mac and a library with a JSTOR facility. College provides free bus service for the students. Hostel has good food and both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned rooms. There is also a paakashala facility.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, highly qualified, and knowledgeable. The curriculum is very good. It helps students to get ready and choose their career. Semester exams are both internal and external. Students need to get passed in internals and should have a minimum of 75% to write the external exams.
Other: I always wanted to pursue career in media so I chose this course.

Our college has a very good ambience to study and for technical studies.
Placements: Our college doesn't provide placements quickly. This course will educate students, and they can choose what to do next as per their choice. Placements are very low here. I suggest that if you really want to get placements, then don't join here. This college is all about learning, and you have to find a path on your own. Throughout your three years course, you will be taught about the media and communication.
Infrastructure: Classrooms and campus are very nice and ambient. Lab and library facilities are very good as equal to the national level standards. But the Wi-Fi facility provided in the hostel is not worth it. Our college will promise you that you will be provided with high-speed internet, but it is not true. Even in that area, most of the mobile networks have some sort of issues in coverage. The boy's hostel is old. Bus services are free for all students of our university.
Faculty: Faculty members here are very active, friendly and wise. This course curriculum will make students ready to learn more about the changes in media and communication. There is no internal assessment based on exams, but they are provided based on assignments. Faculty members don't judge you according to your academic marks.
Other: Wi-Fi facility should be better. Some times our college bus services are not good due to the fault of employees.
