My experience at this college has been a mixed one.

Placements: The hiring of students from my college is less such as 20%. It offers a very low package that ranges from 5-6 LPA, which is definitely not worth it. Companies like Indian Times, The Hindu, and Aaj Tak visit the college and hire students but the possibility is low. Roles like content writers, interns, and beat reporting are offered to students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is so bad. Washrooms are not clean. The college is also very small and classes are also not always clean. The hostel is not there. The absence of hostel facilities is a major drawback, especially for students coming from different cities or rural areas. Many of us have to make alternative, often convenient and expensive, living arrangements. The administration needs to take serious steps towards improving the basic amenities if they want students to have a comfortable and productive college experience. I would suggest prospective students consider these factors before making their decision.

Faculty: Teachers are actually quite a good part of the course. They are helpful and provide us with the opportunities. But not all of them are like that. The course curriculum is relevant but still not enough to gain insights into mass communication. Practical knowledge is given by our teachers that is they make us go to different media houses to gain information. Exams are not that difficult. If we study one night before the exams, then we can pass with average marks. I think if students score below 6 CGPA, then they fail.

Other: I wanted to be in the advertising industry so I chose it. There is no point in studying from here as other colleges are far better than this one. We should spend some money more and go into a private one instead so that they can offer us guaranteed internships. To improve our course, there should be more internships, practical knowledge, infrastructure, and definitely connections. Workshops are hosted every month. Many professionals from this industry come and interact with students. Fests are okay. The campus crowd is average, and societies are also good.

Excellent faculty and academia.

Placements: Placements are very poor. I am highly very disappointed. There is a lack of efficiency and little or no effort to bring good placements. There are no mentorships. No communication is there. Students rarely receive any support or guidance. We need a complete overhaul. Many students are left to fend for themselves.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is okay. We need certain improvements. Cleanliness can be an issue. Greenery is sufficient. Benches and seating arrangements can be made more comfortable and proper. Overall, there is a huge scope for improvement. Better maintenance could enhance learning.

Faculty: Teachers are the best. One could get even the amount of love and supportive teachers. They are beyond words and expressions. They guide you in every step of life and each semester. Papers are carefully curated keeping in mind the best of all students.

Other: Batchmates are super supportive and amazing.

2Placements3Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

A pretty decent experience in Kalindi.

Placements: Around 60% of the students were placed in my batch. 20,000–60,000 per year were the offered packages. The most prominent companies are NDTV, Times of India, India Today, and Indian Express. The top roles in journalism are news reporter, PR, photojournalist, director, editor, RJ, and writer.

Infrastructure: We had a media lab for technical equipment like cameras, tripods, sound rooms, and teleprompters. We also had a PCR room, but we don't have Wi-Fi available for student's. The canteen food is average but the issue was hygiene. For sports, we have plenty of games and equipment.

Faculty: Yes, teachers are quite helpful for everyone and their teaching quality is also good, but the newly recruited teachers are average in their teaching quality. It provides so much knowledge and insight into the media industry. They are sometimes difficult but fine. The passing percentage is 3 CGPA.

Other: I chose this course because I thought it would be fun to learn about media and all that. The best thing about the course were the projects we got, which were very interesting. We learned about how cameras made our documentary and radio show, etc. More industrial exposure: how do things work in the industry in real life. Events are good, but the only thing is that they didn't plan any trips with our batch.
