The best college with best knowledge.

Faculty: All teachers are really helpful and knowledgeable. They help throughout the semester with every doubt and give us the required direction to kick off our project and let the best outcome be there. The juries are not as much difficult as one might think.

Anant's glorious campus.

Faculty: All teachers are passed out from top colleges, their knowledge is top-notch. They are very friendly and incredible in terms of knowledge they have. They are always there for you to solve your doubts. The course is very much relevant, and they try to teach what is there in the industry. They try to give at most practical knowledge. There are juries held for the final grading of semester. One must complete the particular credit of each course in order to pass the semester or particular course.

It’s a very fun place to study in if someone is pursuing design; it’s the best place to be in.

Faculty: The teachers teach very well and solve all the doubts of the students. The teachers are well-qualified designers themselves, and they give us a clear image of being designers. Yes, the course curriculum is relevant. It does make students industry-ready in every way through the exams conducted and everything. The semester exams are pretty difficult, and the pass percentage is 35%. There are juries held instead of written exams where we have to present our work given by the faculty and marks assig...

Overall, a great experience at an up and coming design university.

Faculty: There is a slight mix when it comes to faculty. Most people are amazing. And a lot of them are visiting faculty members with real industry experience. A few faculty members are mediocre and in the first year, you may have to deal with a few unnecessary subjects before you start your specialization. The college is also lenient with grades and the pressure to pass is very low. Given that it is a design college, you have to get through the semester as you have juries and not exams.

A blend of quality education and a vibrant campus life.

Faculty: Anant has a highly experienced and supportive faculty team. The curriculum is thoroughly designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of communication design fundamentals. All ideas are valued and embraced here, giving us a big platform to explore and experiment. I have witnessed a significant development in my design skills. The hands-on approach of the curriculum allowed me to explore various facts about design.

It has good infrastructure and teachers. It has no 100% placement assurance but offers internships.

Faculty: All faculty members are members of the industry, and most of them have their own practices. This helps students understand the ins and outs of the industry. But they could obviously be better, and there should be some more types of faculty members or more visiting faculty members. However, our college tries to compensate for that with the guest lectures and seminars.
