Master of arts English .

Placements: The placements in M.A. English are very decent with around 3-5 Lacs packages per annum and the job sectors are call centre, school teachers, college professors etc. And there are no direct placement in this field and we have to look for jobs on our own.

Infrastructure: The infra of the campus is small and good but the classrooms are devoid of modern amenities such as Wi-Fi and smartboard the library is well stocked though and the hostel food is also acceptable but the hostel rooms are not that good medical facilities are available nearby campus .

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and they are teaching in this college for a very long time so they are very familiar with the exam pattern of this institute they provide us with all the materials free of cost and regular industry visits the sem end exams are quite difficult.

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.
