I think Event Studio is the name that best suits this college.

Placements: Around 55–65% of students are placed in good companies. Packages offered range from 4–5 LPA, and the lowest packages are around 2–3 LPA. All recruiting companies are reputed national organizations that require skilled and experienced professionals. For me, AAFT is the best place to gain knowledge, not only practically but also in understanding how and when to apply and how to deal with industry requirements.

The college offers many opportunities, but it requires a lot of hard work and effort.

Placements: Approximately 95% of students are placed. The top recruiting firms are My Captain and Steel Mint Shri Shivam. Almost every student gets internship opportunities, as they provide 100% internships since it is also a part of the curriculum. With over 95% placements, the top roles are finance manager, sales manager, and similar positions.

A good learning experience with supportive facilities. Some areas need to improve.

Placements: The placement opportunities for the course are still developing, and only a few students get placed through the college. However, the situation is improving gradually. The college is working on building better industry connections with the right skills and efforts students can find good.

Upgrade your digital machines.

Placements: Really don't know about percent but the student ratio is low. The highest package for our course is about 30k a month, to my knowledge. Currently, I have no idea about companies, mostly everyone got their internship, not sure. I have no idea about placements because I am in my last year. I hope I get some opportunity from the placement programme because my senior batches are sitting at home doing freelancing.

Have good faculty members for this course.

Placements: The ratio of students in this course is very low compared to other courses. Placement opportunities from this college are very limited as well. Very few students take placements from campus, and most of the students look for internships on their own.
