Satisfied with the college life, campus and events as well.

Placements: In the course of my B.A., I am a second-year student, but the students of last year say that almost all of them were placed because teachers took the effort to make the companies reach the students. The average package lies between INR 2 LPA and 4 LPA. The roles offered here were mostly for writers and journalists.

Good infrastructure and facilities,

Placements: Basically, our class had a strength of 72 students. The placement I got was at IKEA, which was surprising, but as a student of BAMMC, I got a placement at IKEA with a great post. Mainly, half of the people got placements at Red Chilli Entertainment and IKEA, as per me.

I am very satisfied with this college.

Placements: Almost 80-90% of students got placed in our course. The lowest salary package offered was 2 LPA. The highest salary package offered was 10 LPA. The top recruiting companies hire students from our course. Many students got internships actually not based on the percentage but they also check the ability and number of projects other than the course he has done. Based on this, they get internships.

It is a good college, with excellent courses, and mind-blowing faculty, but the fee is too high.

Placements: Most of the students get placed here, and the faculty members have good industry experience, and so they get students placed with full-time jobs and also internships. From marketing to journalism, all the aspects are covered thoroughly. Plus it is an easy process.
