    MPA in Drama and Theatre Arts - Batch of 2019

    4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life
    Good infrastructure and faculty.
    Placements: The senior students were placed into different schools, some into theatre group, films or are pursuing PhD. Around 70% of the students were placed. The highest salary offered was 40 KPM and lowest offered was 10 KPM. There are no such companies but schools, theatre groups or film directors who visited to select us. Theatre artists, directors, scriptwriters, makeup artists, dancers, actors, etc. were the roles offered. Almost 100% of the students got an internship from this course. The lowest stipend offered in this course is 8K, and the highest offered was 25k.
    Infrastructure: We have three studios where one includes stage, audience space, green room, backstage, etc. Others have an open space for the physical and practical classes and even theory classes. All these studios include air-conditioners. And there are open spaces as well. They are hygienic and clean, with a floor made of wooden planks to prevent anyone from hurting themselves during practical classes. The food quality is good enough to keep a person fit for the physical classes. The hostel rooms are hygienic, well air-conditioned, good electricity and water supply. I didn't face any issues because the infrastructure was already well maintained.
    Faculty: The faculty members are helpful. They have an immense amount of knowledge and experience in this field. Most of them have graduated from the same university or other reputed institutes like the National school of drama. The teaching methods used are mainly physical with maximum field work to be done. 3:1 is the total ratio of the student to faculty. No industrial visit because I am just a 1st-semester student but surely get a lot of exposure through many dramas. The course curriculum useful.

    PU‑CET (UG) has different papers for different subjects. Applicants must choose subjects based on the course they want. Each subject is a separate MCQ paper with its own marks. Your overall score is the total of the papers you attempt.

    When filling the PU-CET form for UG courses, one must choose preferred cities. The university assigns the exam centre based on their choices and available seats. The exact centre name and address are given on the hall ticket.
