Wonderful infrastructure and friendly environment.
Placements: Placements are no so good but some companies do visit the campus such as Zee news, etc. There were few students who got internship through our college. Every month, small firms visit the campus for providing internships. Our college is inclined more towards print media which opens vast opportunities for writers, reporters, etc.
Infrastructure: Awesome infrastructure with a big library which has different books. Labs are not so good. We have studios to get practical exposure. Experienced lecturers are available. Campus has different grounds for different sports. We have 2 really good and hygiene canteens which are nearby to our college.
Faculty: Exams are not so difficult. If you have attended each every lecture then you can easily score good marks. We have spent half of our college life in quarantine so we didn't get much exposure through practicals. Lectures are quite experienced and knowledgeable. Pass percentage is approximately 45%.

There is good infrastructure and great faculty members.
Placements: From our course, about 55% of students got placed. In our course, the highest salary package offered is 12 LPA, and the average salary package offered is 6 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 3 LPA. Top recruiting companies here are Bhopo, Dainik Bhaskar, Indore Jagran, etc. Approximately 30% of students got internships from our college in companies like Bhopo, Amazon, etc., for content writing and for anchoring. Most of the students who are interested and have skills easily got internship offers from my college.
Infrastructure: Our department (SJMC) is very well furnished with new infrastructure designs. There is a facility of a library, reading room, computer lab, research room, auditorium, etc. Our department is also sprawled over 3 floors with a drinking water and washroom facility on every floor. There is also a high-speed Wi-Fi facility in our department. The hostel of our college is average. There are facilities like Wi-Fi, mess, washing machine, TV, etc. The quality of food served is also not very good, but the menu is always diverse. There are safety and medical facilities as the warden will be available for 24 hours. There is a great opportunity in sports and games provided by our college.
Faculty: Teachers of our college are very well experienced and knowledgeable. They are very supportive and helpful. Their teaching quality is very nice, and the HOD is also very cooperative and helpful. Teachers of our department are very knowledgeable and teach very well. The curriculum of our course is relevant. Every topic and subject is logically placed in the curriculum. I think the curriculum of my college makes students industry-ready. The exams are not very difficult, and they contain only those things which have been taught in the classes. If students attend all the classes sincerely, then semester and exams would be easy for them. The pass percentage of our college is 90% to 95%. Students who do not attend a single class will fail in exams.
Other: I chose this course because I am interested in mass communication, and also this course helps in developing personality. I wish in our course there would be more practical knowledge and less theoretical knowledge. I wish there would be more seminars to understand the journey of journalists better. Many events are organised by the department like Youth Festival, international conferences and various cultural programs. Various kinds of scholarships are provided by our college based on merit. Our college offers great opportunities in various international conferences. Celebrities and famous personalities also join our online sessions from time to time. Our college offers participation in various sports activities at a different level and also a key role in Youth Festival organised every year.

Our college provides a great experience with good teachers.
Placements: It is a great campus with modern facilities, but I am not satisfied with the education provided here. Our college management doesn't work properly. About 30% of the students are engaged in internships, but my overall experience could have been better. Around 40% of the students got placed this year.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our campus is good, and the classrooms are spacious. There are different grounds for different sports. Our college hostels' condition is very poor, and most of the students prefer private hostels or PGs. The food served in the canteen, or Indian Coffee House attracts students very much. Students get support from the officials for sports and games.
Faculty: Faculty members in our college are very helpful. Most of them are extremely qualified and have a large area of knowledge in their field. Moreover, they are very lenient and do their best to help students. The course curriculum should be more relevant, and it should emphasise to make students ready for the job.
Other: I have chosen journalism because it is a powerful field, and I like the idea of keeping the public updated about what is going on around them. I wish our course should emphasise how they should teach the subjects today rather than emphasising what people used to do earlier. Many cultural events are held on our campus, and students are very friendly. Our fest is one of the biggest fests all over Madhya Pradesh.

Placements are very low here. We need to try our level best to secure placements.
Placements: College had good placements but we have to study hard and develop our skills. They just provide us a platform but we have to get placed by our skills and knowledge. If someone is looking for better placement opportunities. I would not recommened to join this college.
Infrastructure: As I studied in this college, I will rate it 5 out of 10. Because it's a government-affiliated college and it's an average college. College fees are very low and affordable. Financially low students can easily manage it.
Faculty: Teachers are very good. They will help us with all our doubts and queries. We have to grab the knowledge as much as we can. Exams are average and can pass easily. We just have to write our answers correctly.
Other: I'm pursuing a B.A. in Mass Communication at this college, so it is very good and helpful for all of us.

It is a very good college in Indore, the cleanest city in India. You need not worry.
Placements: More than 70-75% of students got placed and were doing internships. The highest salary package offered was 24 LPA. The minimum salary package offered was 7.4 LPA. The lowest salary package offered was 2.5 LPA. Students can do master's degrees and internships. It was about 70-75%. The entire campus was very good.
Infrastructure: The setup was good. Classrooms were well-ventilated and well-lightened. Tables and chairs were very good and of refined quality. The security was also very good on campus. The canteen facility was also very good.
Faculty: Teachers were very friendly and were always helping to support students in doing more work towards studies as well as sports. Teachers were very energetic. They always try to improve the student's communication and always help to give a good and bright path to the students.
Other: I want to join a journalist's life and I personally want to live a journalist's life.

Satisfied with everything in DAVV. A little bit disappointed by the administration.
Placements: As SJMC is a journalism department, there is no provision for placements but there are many opportunities for doing internships and sometimes jobs. But it's all upon the student. One needs to work very hard during the internship period and a stipend may be offered but not compulsorily. Almost every single student gets a chance to do an internship because professors appreciate everyone going for that opportunity. If someone studies journalism they can go into any field of mass media or journalism like electronic media, radio, press, journalism, content creation, research, etc.
Infrastructure: You can avail of free Wi-Fi throughout the whole university. And there are labs built in various technical departments. As SJMC is not a technical department it doesn't have a lab. Classrooms are in very good condition and contain every basic necessity. There are separate libraries for every department and one huge library for the whole University. DAVV hostels are very cheap and cost-effective. And they are good in condition according to the amount they charge for them. They serve good food. But the taste, according to me, is average. DAVV has all types of medical facilities and it has huge playgrounds for sports. DAVV focus on extracurriculars too. There is a separate department for sports and physical education too.
Faculty: We have well-trained and educated and experienced faculty in DAVV. They teach very well and practically. The journalism department prepares students for everything for their upcoming future. They don't force students to just read and write but they teach us to understand and learn. The difficulty of exams seems average because they teach everything so perfectly that everyone remembers everything.
Other: I loved writing and speaking so I chose journalism and it was a good decision. It is all practical-based. You don't have to carry loads of books and notes. All you need to do is just learn to perform and prove. SJMC, DAVV is famous for its events. Like youth fest, youth parliament, media mantra, Ganpati Mahotsav and many other curriculum activities. And these are organised only on department level. There are more events conducted at the university level.

You can't get admission on the basis of your merit of class 12th until and unless you pass all the subjects of 12th. That's the minimum eligibility.

As far as I am aware, they claim to offer 100% placements for students from all backgrounds, but with realistically speaking, only about 90% are placed which is still a fairly good statistic.
