Being in charge of your internship also helps in improving skills essential for a photographer, like networking, self-branding and pitching oneself in the industry.

Infrastructure: The college has a total of 5 photography studios along with a dark room processing studio. The fashion photography studio is equipped with various backdrops and lighting suited for such. The product and food photography studio has different props that can be used for shoots. Moreover we have an automobile photography studio, a cinematography studio and a tabletop photography studio.

Faculty: The faculty members are well educated in their fields and have hands-on training in the courses that they teach. They are ready to guide in any difficulties that one might face in academics. Each course in every semester is well-planned and is provided with ample equipment and resources needed to complete it.
