College is great. Goodddd.

Placements: I don’t know if they give placements since in our field, classical music, there are no placements. But we have this subject known as career enhancement where we learn what we can do after graduation from college. They also teach us about what we are good at and in what particular field of music we can pursue.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities are great. I think the best course guidelines for Indian music. Sports and games are not available. We have a production lab for music production in which we have great devices. For Western music also, there are great instruments provided by the college.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teaching ability is great. The course curriculum is nice. Semester exams are quite tough. Passing percentage is 60%. We mostly have practical subjects because we are learning Indian music. We have monthly concerts in College.

Other: I chose this course because since childhood I was interested in music and I wanted to learn it especially Indian classical and I think the course outline of NMIMS for this course is great.

Our faculty members are good, highly qualified and helpful, and you will learn properly here.

Placements: Classical Music does not have any placements since this is an industry like this, but our college helps with the exposure and we have this subject as career enhancement where they teach us what we can do after graduation. They also help us identify our highs and lows.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is good. We have soundproof rooms, a good canteen, and all the facilities. There is no mess, medical facilities, or sports in the hostel. But everything is nearby, so it is easily accessible. You can easily order tiffin service.

Faculty: Yes, our faculty are highly qualified and very helpful throughout the course. Yes, it is relevant and makes us students ready. Semester exams are set on a good level where the students need to show everything they have learned so far. 60 percent passing percentage.

Other: I've always wanted to pursue Indian classical music. I like how it helps in the overall development of a student. We have a college fest here where we can participate in the events.

SOPA is worth studying at.

Placements: To date, no firm has approached the School of Performing Arts. Tie-ups are still in process. Many students have been performing at different places with their studies hand in hand, or after finishing their studies, they have been coming back to the same college as faculty members.

Infrastructure: The facilities at the School of Performing Arts are totally worth utility. The library consists of so many books to refer to for their academic purpose. Many students are unable to prepare their tiffin, so they have also been provided with access to the canteen.

Faculty: The curriculum is quite relevant. The teaching quality is absolutely high and the faculty members are quite helpful, knowledgeable, and qualified. The difficulty level keeps rising every semester. Here, we are taught not only to sing or theoretical information, but also to make our own composition.

Really good faculty and facilities.

Placements: The students and faculty members here are very nice. There is a placement course here in college which gives us an idea of the future aspects for our careers. There aren't any recruiting companies for a classical musician, maybe T-Series or Sa Re Ga Ma might be an option.

Infrastructure: I haven't stayed at any hostel, so I don't know. But the infrastructure in the college is good. The instruments provided to us are also of good quality. The canteen is nice; the food is hygienic. There is a production lab and many practice rooms, which helps.

Faculty: The teachers are very good. They care about the students. They take out extra time for our training. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable in their field. The curriculum is relevant; more than being a professional performer, being a good student is what they want us to be.

Best college in Mumbai with best placements.

Placements: 90% placements. Packages range from 10 to 15 LPA. 70% of students secure internships. They offer very good roles in every field of education, and many companies are taking an interest in placements at this college. In performing arts, there are no placements, but they should provide for those also.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi and labs are very up-to-date. There are many book options in the library, and spacious classrooms with good interiors and seating. On campus, we have the best canteen with the best food and many options for dishes. Also, medical facilities are the best in terms of work and sports.

Faculty: We have the best teaching quality with supportive nature, and they help to improve and understand everything. Our curriculum is also so relevant to the field, and we feel industry-ready. Exams are also taken very seriously and with strictness regarding everything, like ID cards.

Other: I chose this course because I love music. Facilities and officials are very supportive of events and fests, and the surroundings of the campus are great.

College is very nice and gives good knowledge .

Placements: College make students participate in college itself, in other colleges, and in a few different places outside. Because of this, students get experience and learn a lot. I personally like this college a lot, but any student will definitely have to work hard and practice to make a good career.

Infrastructure: College faculty members are so nice and understanding that they teach the most difficult things in the easiest way and in the way students understand, which is great. I like it a lot. The college even supports a lot to motivate and push students to work hard. Class tests (ICA) are also something that helps us learn more.

Faculty: Exams are difficult, but the faculty members teach, and if students work and practice properly for them, it might not be difficult. I personally like the exams because they help students work hard, gain good progress, and gain good experience and results.
