My review of this college.
Placements: Placement Opportunities were good after completing the course. A student can easily get placement in Mass media, new media, and internet communication, the print, broadcast, and digital media, TV/Radio, media services, and publishing houses. The companies that visited for recruitment were the best in their respective domains (Ad Agencies, PR firms, Corporates, Production Houses, Publishers, Channel, Research Firms). The average package offered was around 4 LPA. The college does have a placement cell for both jobs and internships sometimes we have to find jobs on our own. As a trainee, I didn't earn much in the internship but learned.
Infrastructure: The college has three hostels which accommodate almost 100 students. Both single and sharing rooms are available. The rooms are spacious and well-ventilated with all basic requirements.
Faculty: The faculty was really helpful and with vast experience. All the teachers used to provide personal attention and clarify each and every doubt that the students had, and the faculty is also very talented and professional. The faculty is also nice, and there is a lot of exposure for children to learn and make themselves better. The exam structure is fine. They have exams every semester. There are 4 semesters in 2 years. The exams are not so difficult. But it can get more practical and not so theory-based because, at the end, practical matters.

Review of Indian Institute of Mass Communication, New Delhi.
Placements: There are a lot of options for doing our desired jobs in various companies like Blue Lotus Communications, Nielsen India, Interconnect News and ITV Network in multiple positions. The packages are so appreciative, which would start from 3.4 LPA.
Faculty: Teachers are so optimistic and highly graded with good experience. Their teaching quality really means their experience of teaching. They are too strict and sometimes behave impolitely. I am okay with the teaching quality of them, but not with their other activities.
Other: The college sets some motto and principles in maintaining the college with good fame. So they will not allow the students to participate in any extracurricular activities often. If they allows us to do something it's only under the proper guidance of teachers.

IIMC - Indian Institute of Mass Communication provides good placements and campus life.
Placements: Placement drives are held in February. Companies like TOI, ABP News, Economic Times, All India Radio, PTI, and Dooradarshan come to the campus and hire students for various positions. The highest package offered is 20 LPA, by Sony Entertainment, Mumbai, whereas the average package offered is 3 LPA. As per the placement cell, approximately 75% of students got placed. I joined AIR as a content executive for its Social Media Cell.
Infrastructure: There are updated and well-versed volumes of books, journals, and magazines in the library, along with high-speed internet. Classrooms are all digital, with projector screens, speakers, and microphones. There are a lot of co-curricular activities on campus, such as table tennis, badminton courts, tennis courts, and more. I was a part of the film club on campus, and we used to watch one film every Saturday in the auditorium, followed by a discussion on the film itself. Each hostel room has a single bed, a wardrobe, a study table, and a chair. Rooms are well lit and ventilated. Food in the mess is of decent quality. Menu is dynamic and changed every day. Hostel registration and room allotment are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Hostel fee was Rs.5000 per month, and mess charges were around Rs.3500 per month. In case you couldn't get a room in the hostel, you can stay in a rented room or PG in Ber Sarai, Kishan Garh, and Vasant Kunj, close to the institute.
Faculty: The faculty for our department are diverse. There are professors who've been senior journalists or are still practicing journalists, academicians in media and media studies, former speakers, lawyers, and more. Teaching methods are very practical. We are given assignments for reporting, exploring the neighborhoods, finding out real stories, using camera equipment, and much more. There are two semesters per year, and term exams are conducted twice, in November and May. All the examinations are difficult, but we had vivas and research projects, which made it pretty interesting. We also had a thesis submission at the end of the second semester, which was the most informative and interesting part of the course.

With the right people, it is a good place to be.
Placements: Placements can be overwhelming. Not an easy process. As my placements took place during peak times of Covid, not many good companies were hiring. Would be no harm to look out for yourself and keep your options open. Build your CV, they do not allow internships during the course, it would great if you do them before joining.
Infrastructure: Delhi campus is beautiful. Next to JNU, the greenery and rest of the infrastructure makes it a comfortable place to be and study. The library is fine. The collection in the library is good, can find exclusive pieces that you won't find easy and affordable in the market. Well built, detailed structure of the building.
Faculty: Again, this can be really overwhelming. Curriculum is good but really huge to be covered in 9 months. Professors are very nice, faculty (some of them) are helpful. If you focus and study well, exams are good. Some professors are really there for you, incase you need any help.
