      Academics

      The professors here are extremely good. They guide each of us equally and help everyone individually. They are all very helpful and each of them interacts with us like friends. Additionally, the studies are taught exceptionally well. Many scholars have emerged from here who are now working in various places across the industry.

      College Infra

      The infrastructure at our college is quite good. We have a dedicated, rather large library for seated study. Besides this, the Film Studies department has its own lab where I can carry out my practical sessions, with proper equipment provided to facilitate our practice. Moreover, we have our own studio, where we carry out all manner of shooting-related tasks.

      Campus Life

      Our campus life is just awesome. We work hard and excel, we study hard and excel, we have a blast and excel, and the professors also chill with us in their free time. In a word, we just have an absolute blast.

      Placements

      Actually, these are normally formal government master's courses. So here, there is no specific placement system. Many of us do internships outside alongside our studies. Also, there are cases where, if students learn the work well and study properly, the professors themselves recommend their names to various places in the industry.

      Value For Money

      Definitely, perhaps even more than that, good facilities can be obtained at a much lower cost.
