FTII, without which the history of Indian cinema can't be written.

Placements: No official placement happens in this college. It's the reputation and heritage of the institute, and also the quality of students helps them to find jobs and projects after passing out. But, if you search history of Indian film, it's easier to see what the pass outs of this department have done.

Infrastructure: It is a premier institute run by Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Very less number of students are selected every year. Every contemporary software and machines are available and are getting updated always. A separate building is allocated for editing department. Every student gets a separate cabin for working and also a MAC.

Faculty: The first semester is combined for the students of every department. One has to learn every aspect of cinema in this semester. From the second semester, specialisation in editing starts. The students are exposed to all kinds of film practices throughout the world, film history, technical aspects of editing and also sound. From the third semester, there are co-ordinated projects. For every project, there are specialised workshops. All the faculty members are from renowned film schools in India. Mostly, they're great in terms of theoretical knowledge. But, for practical purposes, workshops are better.

Other: A huge campus with only 200-250 students. It's quite a good experience to spend time on this campus. It's always happening. Space enriches you in many respects.

Moving to privatisation is killing the institution, but still, FTII is the best.

Placements: This institution is yet not privatised, so it still has a great opportunity to get immediate placement for now. As we know the FTII is one of the leading institutions, but it truly says, from last year, it is not like before. The changes in faculty and too much crowd. Now it compromised in quality actually.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is the finest one, just one thing we used to borrow the location, for now, it is in the middle of the city, so it's not convenient for a peaceful environment. The new deduction of the land in the part of the institute is made it short as compared to before.

Faculty: No doubt about it, the FTII is having the best faculty ever and no comparison to other institutions. They are the best faculty, labs and especially, the multi-label experience with other departments. Especially, for theatre and director courses.

Other: The events are the best practice. The crowd is only specific and it's good, but for the short-term courses. The environment is disturbed from this year. It's good for now.

I am very satisfied with this institute because of it's good placements and other things.

Placements: There are many batches in our institute. They teach us very nicely. If you want a job, then it's a very good decision to join this college. The minimum salary they afford is almost fifty thousand Indian currency rupees. They also give scholarship for doing better.

Infrastructure: There are very disciplined classrooms. They also provide wi-fi. There are many libraries in our institute. They also provide canteen in our institute. They also have hostel rooms for those students who are coming from other states. They also provide us some games periods.

Faculty: The teachers of the institute are well qualified. They are very helpful to students. There is an excellent students to teachers ratio in our institute. They teach us each and every common topic that we should know. The course curriculum is very useful. It is useful for our future.

Other: They provide scholarship for students to achieve their goals. They do some activities to teach us.
