I did Post Graduation course, journey was amazing overall. I definitely recommend it.

Placements: Placements were just okay. Not all Post graduated students were placed by the university. Candidates had to look for jobs on their own. Also in the practical world, more priority is given to lift students instead of Pearl so ya getting a job is quite a difficult bit ya who so ever were placed got a decent package as a fresher.

Good infrastructure, inspiring faculty, but can work better for placements.

Placements: The placements are still not so good. Seniors face difficulty in iad batch to find jobs. Some good students might get a good placement, but there is no 100 percent guarantee of placements. Although, it is improving now. We can find jobs abroad, but there are less opportunities in India.

It is an average college.

Placements: When it comes to placement, there is no surety of placement, it all depends on how we can do on our own. We have to search for our own internship as well as a job. They just say that there are good placements, but hardly 2-3 people get the placements, not worth of the fees that we are paying. They should give the assurance of the placement too. The role offered to the student is an interior designer but with less experience as well as less pay in the starting.
