Placements: Almost all students get a job instantly after getting the degree. The starting package was around 30k for private companies and 70k for government school. Birla is a good company according to me. You just get a degree and you must apply for a job in a company. People get work for preparing advertisements.
Infrastructure: The class is equipped with air conditioners, wifi is available in the whole campus, there are many libraries too. Mess of the hostel was decent, not too bad. There are many playgrounds available in the university itself so anyone can do their sports activities when it's available.
Faculty: Ofcourse the teachers are highly qualified, and knowledgeable, they are helpful indeed. Yes this is a professional degree and people get hired in the top advertisements companies and get paid, the salary increases with time. The exams are decent. If we talk about the passing the exams, when I was there, I saw very few students who failed in the semesters.
Other: I just love art and took art after passing my highschool. No need to improve the course, it is at its peak already. There are many events in the faculty and the university.
