I think it's a perfect choice for mass communication.
Placements: About 30 percent of our seniors got placed in big companies like Deloitte and Wipro, with the highest package going to 10 LPA and the average being 6 LPA. Many companies were invited for campus placements, with lots of opportunities for students to grow and learn.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is commendable in some departments, making you feel like you're in a hotel. There are labs for practical courses, and for our course, we have an in-house radio station and a production studio for more hands-on learning experience.
Faculty: I personally feel the teachers are overqualified, as they are well-known figures in the Communication field with a fantastic background, which provides a chance to enhance your exposure and interact with some well-known personalities. Professors are very helpful and will do everything in their capability to help you grow.
Other: Every other day there's a new celebration on campus, and there is diversity. The campus is very beautiful.
