Government colleges, which are usually affiliated with the University of Mumbai, offer education at a much lower cost, i.e. under INR 1 lakh. These colleges provide basic infrastructure and experienced academic faculty, but often lack modern equipment, industry exposure, and structured placement support.

On the other hand, private colleges charge higher fees but in return offer better facilities such as air-conditioned classrooms, media labs, professional studios, and editing suites.
