It is really a good option because the professors focus more on practicals than theory.
Placements: I got placement at a news channel. My batchmates got placements in very good news channels. Almost every student got placement, and each one got a position at a well-reputed place. The highest package was 6 LPA at a reputed news channel, and now she is in a good position there.
Infrastructure: It was amazing. It was a huge campus, and the library was also very huge. Every single book was available there. One of my friends was in the hostel. She told me that the washrooms were always clean, and the food quality was good. It was like home. The wardens were also friendly.
Faculty: Teachers were amazing. We had our studio where we practiced anchoring and debates that prepared us for the future. They were always more focused on practical work. They gave us field tasks to conduct interviews and debates, which were really helpful and made us more confident.
Other: I wanted to become an anchor, so I chose this course. We never got a chance to make news about the bad side of the university. The fees were not that high. The campus was really good.
