Master of Mass Communication, Advertisement and Journalism - Batch of 2018

Offered by National Institute of Mass Communication

1Placements1Infrastructure1Faculty1Crowd & Campus Life

Not at all satisfied. The worst decision ever, to choose NIMC.

Placements: There is the average placement of the students in the college. Our college doesn't provide proper placements, and since its a mass communication college, mostly media channels, production house, web startups, organisations comes here. This year only 20% of the students got a proper internship which is mainly non paid. We don't have a particular placement cell.

Infrastructure: A single building containing 4 floors. An administrator office and a production room where we have all the computers and equipment (average) needed in this field. There are also 4 classrooms. Also, average faculty members are present. There will be no library, no games room, no Wi-Fi and no medical facilities in the college. Also, there will be no canteen, and there is no hostel provided by the college. Instead, they have a tie-up with different or nearby paying guests, providing mess and allotted students rooms. I think we need proper equipments and proper facilities whose list is huge.

Faculty: Well, we mostly have guest lecturers from different colleges or experienced people in the fields to give us a minimum knowledge of the media industries and subjects. Their teaching quality is very average. There will be no proper practical training provided in the college, in both indoor or outdoor. Also, we didn't get an industrial exposure, and we only got 5 media visits in the past 2 years.

Other: There will be no events. Only one, we have which is called Nukkad Natak (not of any use) will be conducted in the college.

This is not a college, it is a tuition centre. There are little to no placement opportunities here.

Placements: There are little to no placement opportunities here. Only a few people get placed. There are unpaid internships being offered to students. The college does partiality with the students.

Infrastructure: There's no Wi-Fi, no canteen, no sports, no medical. Basically, it's just a building that's reminiscent of tuition classes. There is one media room that has computers and a recording room. But it's not open to everybody, just a handful of students and staff.

Faculty: Some faculty members are great. They know how to teach journalism. But mostly there are no classes held and there's no teacher allotted. It's all a waste for students as well as the junior teachers they rope in. Some teachers don't know the subject they're teaching.
