    Placements: My seniors told me that there are good placement opportunities in Sony Music or other music companies while I am studying B.Music. They pay them a very good salary. Really, this course is very useful to develop your skills. Learning new things is always a joy here.
    Infrastructure: It's a distance learning course. As a result, I can only speak about my branch office infrastructure. It has a pleasant atmosphere. It is kept clean, and there is excellent communication with prompt responses. They deliver books to our door at the appropriate time. Which is extremely useful.
    Faculty: Faculty members are good here. Because it is a distance education, they conduct PCP programs, which stand for personal communication programs. They conduct PCP programmes online during COVID and face-to-face after the COVID restriction was lifted. They just cover the whole portion in a week.
