Our university is the best.
Placements: After the 3rd semester, the placement process will start. Students who scored good marks were eligible for placements. Many students opted for higher studies.
Infrastructure: Separate hostels were available for both boys and girls. The system for granting leaves was not good. Overall, everything was good.
Faculty: Faculty members were egoistic but well-qualified. Few of them were Ph.D. scholars. The teaching method was not good. Semester exams were conducted after every 5 months. The exams were not hard.
Other: I chose this course because of my interest in photography. Annual fests and events were conducted in this college. You will also get a chance to do other college fests with various co-curricular activities.

The admission process is simple for new students.
Placements: There are good opportunities here. There is a nice selection ratio, and an overall good median salary is offered. Students are recruited by a variety of famous firms, and almost all of them end up at one company or another. Many of the big corporate giants as well as foreign companies have tie-ups with KC College. Campus interviews were conducted, and the students are tested according to the company's requirements. There were various recruiting companies like Free Press Journal, The Sprint, KPMG India, TATA, Reliance, Infosys, OLA, and Rajshri Entertainment. Placement Coordinators can provide assistance if you have any questions or concerns. But because of the pandemic, things might be a little different.
Infrastructure: Personally, I can't recommend the hostels. Because the facilities of hostels in CU are quite poor. The quality of the food is disgusting. And the wardens are not humble toward you. You can avail of the hostel facility online or by visiting. You can get the 3-seated room or the 4-seated room.
Faculty: The course curriculum is systematically structured. Research papers are prepared by the students every semester, which is considered an essential task throughout the course. Exams are conducted within the university, are fair, and are invigilated by experienced faculty. The course includes designing and strategizing presentations. Practical exposure is not up to the mark. Practical equipment is available, yet there is a lack of practical exposure to the subject. Students frequently complain about the same.

Our college provides good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: Our college provided a well-established placement cell for mass communication courses. Practical training was also provided for better recruitment. Top recruiting companies were NDTV, India TV, TImes of India, Hindustan Times, Economics Times, DD News, etc.
Infrastructure: The best thing about this college was its library. It had a wide range of journalistic resources including books, journals, and digital archives. Interactive and engaging sessions were good in this college. Audio-visual aids were also available in our classrooms.
Faculty: Faculty members were approachable. They were always ready for guidance, feedback, and career advice. This played a crucial role in helping students to build their careers. All teachers were helpful. They also provided in-depth knowledge about research and investigative journalism.
