Real college student life.

Placements: The batch includes a total of 55 students. The highest package so far a senior has gotten is 7 LPA. Top roles offered are communication designer, graphic designer, UI/UX designer, etc. There have been roles like marketing manager as well this course has a lot to offer.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are good and just the hostel timings and rules are a bit overboard where the curfew is 7:00 PM. They don't allow you to wear shorts in canteen and games are available like badminton, basketball, carrom, chess, volleyball, etc. The wardens are pretty strict about North Indians and South Indians, where they favor South Indians.

Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful and accessible. They all are very hard-working and everything makes sense. The curriculum is relevant to the course where we learn the things needed for the industry and everything in the department gives you a real-life experience and perspective as well about how the industry works.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to go for something related to art and design. The course here provides a wide range of learning outcome and the course has been improved to implement in real life as well.
