Great college for art lovers and designers.

Placements: I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Sir J.J.Institute of Applied Art. Around 70 to 80 percent of students have received placements through college and internship referrals. The highest package offered to a student is approximately 7.2 LPA, the average package is 4.8 LPA, and the lowest is 3.6 LPA. Some of the top recruiting companies are VML and FCB India. Top roles offered to graduates are graphic designer, illustrator, advertising visualiser, and many more.

Infrastructure: The hostels are clean and hygienic with a strict but homely environment ideal for artists. The meals are warm and welcoming and extremely nutritious as per the students' needs. There's a full-time Wi-Fi for students and the labs are in good condition. There's a playground for students to keep up with their health.

Faculty: The exams conducted are challenging but the teachers are attentive and grade everyone fairly. The qualified teachers play a major role in the education process. The passing percentage is 45 percent, and many students fail despite all the teaching and the exams still being easier. The faculty members are supportive and kind.

Other: The events are fun and great. The students engage in the event activities and play a major role in the event. Unlike other design colleges our college does not have the jury system in our course. I wish they did because it would encourage students more.

Dissatisfied by management.

Placements: Our course has 60 seats and it is about Bachelor in visual arts. We have total 8 subjects and our college does offer placement but only In final year. Almost everyone gets an internship from our college unless and until the students don't accept it.

Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is not that good because it looks like a hospital plus the lifts don't work. The toilets are clean but they don't have basic stuff. Our classrooms are also not that great but still they are good enough. We have a library but it's small and our college does not have a campus it's very bad.

Faculty: There are some teachers who teach us very well but some don't know what they are doing and it's very confusing for students. Many times the teachers are not present in our class for hours. Our course curriculum teaches us a basic of what will be needed in the industry later. The exams are not that difficult. The passing percentage is 35%.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to become a graphic designer, the best thing about this course is that It does not have a lot of theory subjects and most of them are practical so it's fine doing the assignments. I wish that they would improve the college infrastructure and management needs a lot of improvement. Things should be modernized to develop us and match with the outside world.

I am absolutely dissatisfied with poor management.

Placements: Our course is new in this college. So we are the first batch. College is the worst.

Infrastructure: There is no computer lab or photography studio. They say the hostel fee is Rs.10,000 per year but when we get admission we have to pay Rs.54,000 additional fee for the mess.

Faculty: Faculty are not experienced in the industry. The curriculum is outdated and worth spending much money. Faculty doesn't take any effort to teach something relevant and helpful to get a job in the industry. Faculty keeps changing every year. Some teachers have left within a month so we haven't learned anything whatever we do or get a job will be on our own. We don't get any help.
