My honest review about my college.
Placements: Placements in general are quite great because of how longstanding the university's reputation is. I am especially pleased with the internship opportunities provided, because of which I even landed a job. However, one batch in every few years may face the brunt of a bad job market. But students can keep in touch with their classmates/seniors for opportunities. I worked with The News Minute and The Hindu Businessline. Other big media companies also frequent the university. Students will have to do two mandatory internships, one summer and one winter.
Infrastructure: Every student is allotted a 2-sharing or 3-sharing room, each with an in-built washroom. Each room also has its own Wi-Fi. The rooms are somewhat spacious. There is enough privacy, also. They are not too concerned about what you do in your private space, except for abusing alcohol/other substances. The hostels also have cleaning staff, so students don't have to worry about cleaning.
Faculty: During the course of two years, the college brought in at least 7 different guest faculty who are experts in their respective fields. Our in-house faculty are also very qualified and experienced in their own ways. The curriculum is designed keeping in mind the industry requirements. Every student could select among the plethora of options offered, picking their own interests and pursuing them further. With the option of electives and flexi-credit courses, there is exposure to almost every type of media.

Review of SIMC Pune - Symbiosis Institute of Media & Communication.
Placements: I cannot provide the placements information as of now because I am in this college from few days. Due to the pandemic, we are having online classes from home so I cannot interact with the seniors who had their placements this year. As far as I have heard, the roles offered are in the production houses or content creating. Some of them prefer freelancing. Some students work in movies or television. Some make documentaries and others make advertising films.
Infrastructure: The institute has top-class facilities. The infrastructure of our college is one of the best in the country. Many films have been shot here. Our college is beautiful, picturesque and the best experience to live among nature. The hills feel like a home away from home. It is surrounded by people from all over the country and even some from abroad. It has people from all cultures and religions. The animals, especially the dogs, can be seen everywhere and all love them. The rains are constant throughout the year, and the weather is beautiful. Wi-Fi facility is available here. Classrooms are well-equipped, and the library is the best. You get a lot of facilities in the library, both online and physical library. Hostels are great. It is a residential course, so it is compulsory to live in a hostel for the whole 2 years. There is a huge sports ground, and all kinds of sports, indoors and outdoors games are available here. There is a gym, swimming pool and basketball court. Our college also conducts an annual college sports event. There are a mess and a midnight canteen. The canteen serves better food than a mess. Labs are great with a lot of facilities.
Faculty: Professors in our college are the best, and all of them have been in the industry from so many years. They are well-experienced, helpful, understanding and caring. The course curriculum is good. I am from a non-media background, so the first semester is just the basics from the scratch of mass communication. M.A students have to do 2 internships in 2 years. Since I have just started college, I cannot say more about the benefits of the course curriculum.
Other: The institute is student-driven. There are various cells and circles by students and for students. They keep on conducting various events and fests throughout the year, which helps the students to show their skills. Festocomm and SimCuts are the flagship events. Freshers is also one of the great events organised at our college, and it is known as Aarambh.
