CUPB MCMS is a creative and innovative media department.
Placements: Being at a central university, it's not guaranteed to get placed in a big company. Rather the university ensures to make you independent to find a good job. We were six students in MJMC. All of us are working at good places earning a salary package of around 5 LPA. Our batch did internships at News18, Rashtradoot, and Dainik Jagran.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi was available in the hostel and on campus all around. There was a good library and a newspaper service separately for media students. A media lab was also available. They were planning to set up a community radio soon. Mess and canteen offered good service. The fitness and health center was also in good condition.
Faculty: In our college, teachers were great. All got their Ph. D.s from the best public universities. They framed the syllabus great and industry-ready. Semester exams were not so difficult if you studied the concept well. You have to score more than 35% to pass a subject.
