    Overall, the best College for M.A. in Journalism and Mass Communication Course.

    It is a decent college with good facilities.
    Placements: Placements are very poor for this course. There are many recruiting companies, especially foreign companies like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, etc. Although very few students got placed. Authorities are working on that part. The course is effective for academics and not for jobs.
    Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure is decent with well-structured labs, a good developing library, and facilities like Wi-Fi. Hostels are good and separate for both boys and girls. The hostel for girls is not yet fully developed. The building-related tasks will probably end within a few years.
    Faculty: The teaching staff members are good here. Some are excellent at teaching and solving doubts. Overall, most of them are very coordinated and cordial. They teach us relevantly according to the course curriculum. There are exams in every semester, which are well-timed. Exams are moderate to tough.

    It's a totally good campus with good infrastructure and academic conditions.
    Placements: There is a placement cell, but that is not efficient. But some of the departments, like MBA, have their own placement cells. The university placement cell is not working properly, so we need to find other jobs in the job market. But there are some companies that are recruiting students.
    Infrastructure: There is a good hostel facility and a mess. Hostel food is far better than others. The hostel has four shared and single rooms. The cost of living is very low here. Only 170 rupees per month is rent. We can afford it easily. Toilets are very neat and clean.
    Faculty: Here, the faculty is very qualified and highly educated. We can easily access their guidance. They will truly help us in our own projects and research. Some of them are world-listed scientists. We can talk to them and make decisions in our project work.
    Other: There are so many events on campus.

    One of the best colleges for M.A. in English literature.
    Placements: Many students take admission in this college. The highest package goes to 8 LPA, the lowest is 3 LPA. Top recruiters of this college are GAO Tek, Gandhavalla Informatics, etc. These companies generally hire most of the students. Around 65 percent of students got an internship programme of the year.
    Infrastructure: College provides a great infrastructure. All the requirements of students are already available here. Classrooms are fully maintained, washrooms are clean, and Wi-Fi is available for teachers. Hostel facilities are also available. Rooms are well furnished, with good washrooms and water facilities. The mess food was delicious.
    Faculty: The faculty of this college is deeply knowledgeable. They are very experienced and friendly with students. Most of the students have at least 12 years of experience.

    Will be useful if used in a good way.
    Placements: The first batch of the course will be completing the course in 2026, so the placements and recruiting companies are not known. Every student is informed and given internship opportunities by the department from the second year onwards. It is kind of mandatory to do an internship within the third year.
    Infrastructure: Currently, the department doesn’t have a building of its own, but they will soon have one. The department building currently used has Wi-Fi, library, computer labs, and classrooms. Students have both men’s and women’s hostels within the campus, along with a gym, stadium, health center, central library, and a park.
    Faculty: It is a research-oriented course, so if seen that way, it will be easier and more useful. The course curriculum is relevant, but if it had more practical exposure, it would be more useful for the students. The difficulty of exams varies among students. Every resource for studying is available in the department library or central library.

    I really like it. Good campus.
    Placements: The college has a very bad placement cell. They do not provide us with good placements at all. I expect too much from the placement, but I realised the sad reality. There is no active placement cell, but some departments have one. Their own placement cell. Its very good.
    Infrastructure: Hostel is very good. We can easily take admission, and there are no hidden rules and regulations. We can move without any restrictions. The mess food is also good. We do not need to go outside for good food. There is also good food and sports there. We have a discount there.
    Faculty: There are good teachers with high qualifications. We have the opportunity to study below them. We can always ask their opinion on any topic. They are all Ph.D. holders. It helps us to prepare our final year project. The place is full of qualified teachers.
    Other: Good campus with lots of information.
