Overall Amrita is a decent college with little drawbacks.

Placements: Placements in our college are pretty bad. More than 60% of students get offer letter during the internship time. It is easy for other departments to attract companies. Being a small department college, it shows less concern regarding placement. Companies which visit for placements are mostly for IT, which is very disappointing.

I am absolutely satisfied with my college experience.

Placements: The placement sessions are not really attractive here. Companies like Amazon, Mckinsey and other print and broadcast firms conduct placements yearly. Based on individual performance, students are selected directly to join the company or are qualified for limited-time programmes. Every student is provided with an additional internship facility in their field of interest after completing the second year of the course. The field of interest and the company can be of our choice, but the faculty inch...

Absolutely worth the money you pay for.

Placements: The Mass Communication course doesn't have placements unlike the engineering course. So yes, there are no highest, lowest, or average packages offered in the courses. While there are companies that go through the personal connections of the faculty members, like Google, Amrita TV, and media advertising agencies including Indian Parliament.

Revies of Amrita School of Communication - Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham University.

Placements: Amrita mass communication offer placements in 2 firms this time. But I didn't attend for any of those. Students who wanted to pursue masters it was fine. But for others, it proved to be difficult as without placements it's nearly impossible to get jobs anywhere. Placements are a necessity.

Review of Amrita School of Communication - Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham University.

Placements: Internships are mandatory for B.A. students at the end of their 2nd year. Preferably in a print or AD agency. So through that, students get an opportunity to work for some prestigious organisations like The Hindu, Times of India and some AD agencies like FCB Ulca.

Amrita School of Communication is the most apt option for the ones who are pursuing to become a media professional and who want to stand out of the crowd. While there is more inclination towards Journalism there is ample classes conducted which covers the topics such as marketing, advertising, CSR, photography and so on. Students will be lucky enough to interact with media professionals who have greatly contributed in their concerned field of profession.
