One of the best theatre departments in India.
Placements: A lot of opportunities are available in the department. Almost every student gets work in theatre, films, web series, TV, and OTT. So we can say it provides 100% placements. The wage is around Rs.2000 per day for freshers. Frequently auditions happen at the university, so you can easily grab the work.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are very good. There are labs for rehearsals, a studio, an auditorium, an open-air theatre, free Wi-Fi, and good bathrooms available. It has an eco-friendly environment. There is a big world-class library situated in the university with a huge and great collection of books. Hostels are good, with free Wi-Fi. It is best for sports activities.
Faculty: Some teachers are very good and knowledgeable, but there is a shortage of teachers in the department. The course is relevant and can make you a good artist if you study hard. It makes students industry ready. Semester exams are not easy, so you have to study for the whole year.
Other: I chose this course because I want to be a Punjabi actor. The best this about our course is acting techniques. Campus life is amazing. Almost every day there are several events in the university, of different departments. The campus is beside the highway so connectivity is good. The crowd is good on working days but a little bit boring on non-working days or holidays. Nightlife can be improved.

The college is good for theatre students.
Placements: It is not possible to arrange placements for each student because it is arts. So, students have to find the work by themselves, and some auditions do happen in the department, so it helps students to get work. Students work in Hindi films, Punjabi films, Haryanvi films, webseries, and OTT.
Infrastructure: The college has smart classrooms, theater studio, open-air theatre, Kala Bhawan auditorium, other auditoriums, many parks, fountains, many sports grounds, and a beautiful green campus spreading over 400 acres. The campus is Wi-Fi enabled. Hostels are awesome, and the hostel food is very good.
Faculty: Currently, the department is suffering from a lack of professors. But the professors who are teaching are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The course is relevant, and you can learn to work very well. Semester exams are a bit hard, so you have to study hard.
Other: My batch consists of approximately 30 students. I chose this course because I want to become a Punjabi actor. Professors are needed in the department. Events and fests are held on a regular basis.

Review of Punjabi University.
Placements: Our seniors get farewell this month, and they all have some work in hand from the different film industries like Hindi, Punjabi, Haryanvi, and some digital platforms like YouTube and OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon, Chaupal, Stage, etc. So in terms of placements, students can take admission in this college.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good in this college. It provides free Wi-Fi, smart classrooms, make-up rooms, costume room, lighting equipment room, properties room, set room, auditoriums, and open-air theatre. It also has a big library. The food served in the hostel is very good.
Faculty: Faculty members are qualified and experienced in this college. However, there is a shortage of professors in the department. The course is very relevant because it will make students different and good than an illiterate actor in the field. Semester exams are difficult so students have to study well.
Other: I opted for this course, because I always wanted to know the magic of theatre. Professors are needed in this college. Events and fests are held every day.
