My honest review about my college.

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 o...

Teachers are helpful in nature.

Faculty: The teachers are friendly in nature and guide the students for the future as well as for their careers. The teachers are well qualified and have a great knowledge of the subject. This course makes the students industry-ready. The exams are held semester-wise as well as mid-semester-wise.

All round development at SIMC.

Faculty: The teachers are very much knowledgeable. Not only that but we also have a lot of industry experts who teach us as the visiting faculty to keep us updated about the current industry norms. The course structure and the curriculum is pretty decent and helpful.

Placements could have been better in 2015.

Faculty: Guest faculty members were really good here. During our tenure, the dean of our college is Mr. Chandan Chatterjee, who used to make students not to depend on others. The course curriculum needs to be improved a little. It doesn't make students industry-ready, but overall, it is decent.

Really good experience and would definitely recommend this college.

Faculty: Most of the teachers are Ph.D. They are extremely helpful and guide us all the time. The overall atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The media industry is always evolving and the course also keeps on changing. We have AR, VR courses now since it's becoming so popular.

Review of SIMC Pune - Symbiosis Institute of Media & Communication.

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.

The college is worth the money paid if students intend to learn.

Faculty: Faculty members here were highly unimpressive except for a few. The kind of education imparted had good quality with multiple facets being covered and shared. There were efforts to include industry exposure and other activities to give a holistic perspective to the students.

The course curriculum is relevant and updated but faculty lacks quality in the method of teaching.

Faculty: The faculty members and staff on the campus are average only. They are qualified and knowledgeable. But lack quality in the method of teaching. The course curriculum is relevant and up-to-date. The college also prepares each and every student to become industry ready.

The right mix of academics and co-curricular.

Faculty: The course and faculty is well woven to give us the right exposure and experience in the industry. We have several external faculty members that come in for our specialisation courses to give us the corporate exposure. Apart from the regular course curriculum, the assignments, corporate talks, workshops, etc. helped to build on the existing course that is taught.

A great place in terms of faculty members, infrastructure, curriculum and peers.

Not a bad college but room for improvement.

Faculty: Teachers were helpful with great insight into the field. Had many guest faculty members from the industry who were also helpful during internships and placements. Various classroom activities and assignments required stepping out of the college campus to do it.

If you wish to join SIMC, think again.

Faculty: The course curriculum is designed well but it is not covered well. There are very few lectures covering vast syllabus. Only are few faculty members are interesting and know about there subject. There are only 3 permanent faculty for audio visual course which is too less for amount of fees charged to the students. Facility is a huge disappointment.
