I am satisfied with the faculty. It has good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: I am currently studying in this course, so I don't know much about the placements. Job roles depend on what specialisation a student takes up. For example, I will take an audio-visual production role in the next year. In this field roles like cinematographer, editor, director, scriptwriter, etc., are offered to the students. You could also work at media firms if you are not interested in working for the film industry. The previous year, more than half of the seniors got placed in companies like ...

Experienced faculty, amazing facilities.

Placements: Almost 75-80% people are placed, with the highest of 9-10 LPA and an average of 4-5 LPA. Many media houses, like Frizzon, Viacom, Ogilvy, Zomato, and many more, visit for placements. Companies that come for internships also come with placement opportunities and PPO by the mid of the last semester of your academic year.

It is a great place for academics, but the infrastructure is average.

Placements: Almost 90% of our batch got placed. The highest salary package of 5.25 LPA and the average salary package of 3 LPA and the lowest salary package of 1.5 LPA are offered. Google, Leo Burnett, TBWA and Grey Advertising were some of the top companies which recruit students from our college. Advertising executive and associate content strategist were the top roles offered. Almost 100% of the students got internships in top advertising firms like MullenLowe Lintas, Ogilvy, etc.

SCMC Life or say Army School.

Placements: Placements were for all the students but many student went for higher studies and other opted placement. They didn't gave much option to the students. Very limited companies were there in placement. In a media field a person doesn't get much stipend in beginning but later will experience salary increases on the basis of the experience.

The students will teach you more than the faculty.

Placements: I didn't choose to sit for placement because of the rules it implies. I vividly remember that placement for batch 2016 was pretty decent since they got placed on the web as it was booming at that time. Even we have had incoming opportunities from the web, but it is difficult to get into films. It is more of a profession than a job. Though the placement is not that great, my seniors applied externally and are working in advertising, web, newspapers and some even in films.

The vast industry exposure makes SCMC the best media college in India. The faculty members are good.

Placements: The placement of the college is good. We have the big companies like Google, Glitch etc. coming up for the advertising and the public relation. The journalism students got placed in the big media houses like Times of India, Times Now, Republic TV, NDTV, Outlook etc. The audio-visual students got placed in the big production houses like Excel and also in YouTube houses like Filter Copy, Film Companion, etc.

Glad to have been a part of this college.

Placements: Placements were decent as almost all the students who had opted for placements got placed. Average package was around 3 to 4 LPA. Companies like Google and Glitch had come on campus, while other interviews were organised outside. Some of the students also got placed in Zomato.

Hectic but totally worth it.

Placements: As far as I know, by the end, all the students were placed. Even though not a lot of companies came on campus, the college organized interviews outside campus and got students placed. Some got placed through pre- placement offers, while others used their personal contacts. We had five internships during the course i.e. 2 NGO internships, 1 CSR internship and the last two being industry internships.

A productive and enjoyable experience.

Placements: I believe that in terms of on campus placements, the college could do better as the placement coordinators have a hard time getting companies on campus. Even though our batch was lucky to have Google on campus, not a lot of other batches got that opportunity. A particular criterion had to be fulfilled in order to be eligible for internships and if you cleared that, you were offered an internship.

A perfect blend of theory and practical experience.

Placements: Placements were decent in terms of packages but not a lot of companies came to the campus to recruit. Our placement coordinators organized interviews though and also took care of the travel expenses. Almost all the students who had opted for placements got placed by the end.

This college is a pressure test. It moulds a new person out of you. It's a fun ride.

Placements: The college provides very interesting placements. Especially with the industry exposure, that we'd already received during the internships, we were better placed in terms of our own contacts in the industry as well. We had the cream bunch from Redifussion call out for us, as well as freshly throbbing media minds like Rickshaw advertising agency. Giants like Google also made their way to our campus.

An all-round good experience.

Placements: Placements have generally been good for the advertising and PR specialisations. For our batch, Google came to the campus. But for journalism and audio-visual communications, the placement situation is not that great. Although our college students have been placed with organisations like Times of India and The Hindu, it was on their own and not through the campus.

Mass communication was good.

Placements: Journalism and Audio Visual had really bad placements. It was mainly by contacts. Advertising batch had a comparative better placement. Internships were pretty much the same issue, except it was based on merit which wasn't the best method. Google visited for recruitment.

Best learning years - academically and otherwise.

Placements: About 85% of the batch ended being placed- some through campus placements and some through PPOs. The lowest salary would be around Rs. 18 lpa and the highest around Rs. 35 lpa. Companies like Google, Scatter, Rickshaw etc. visited campus (not very aware as I didn't sit for campus placements, as I got a job before they started). Roles offered were in beginner levels for joining the industry. All students (provided they fulfill academic requirements in college) got internships from college. Lowest...

The hub of knowledge and experience - SCMC.

Placements: The placements mostly happened from our sides where if we had contacts, we could go into the industry. Google had come over for placements in the communication management(ad and PR) class. Apart from that, I do not recollect other companies coming by for placements. Mostly all of us were placed and the ones who wanted to pursue future studies are studying in various colleges across the globe.

The academics are quite good but the overall atmosphere is not conducive to learning. The experience is quite varied and life changing for many. The campus and the surrounding areas are generally a lot more expensive than they ought to be. International students freely interact with Indian students unlike in colleges in Delhi. It can be a great learning experience.
