Admission: The teachers here are super helpful. They're always there when you need them. They know their stuff and make it easy to speak up about anything  from social to cultural topics. It's cool how we can share our thoughts freely here.

Placement: A lot of seniors from my college got jobs with Swacch Bharat Abhiyan, Meltwater, PARI, and government ministries. The salary is between 7 to 12 lakhs per year. Our college's placement cell helps students with jobs and internships. Companies like Tata, Intel, Wipro, and others come for recruitment. There are also internships in government and private sectors with stipends from 2,000 to 8,000.

Campus: The campus has free Wi-Fi for everyone. The media department has its own library, and there's also a central library for all students. Classrooms are nice with computers and Internet. The media lab is equipped with modern tools. There are many canteens with good, affordable food. The hostel is also well-furnished.

Admission: The teachers here all have Ph.D.s in their subjects, so they really know their stuff. They teach in a way that actually helps us learn. But, be ready for strict attendance rules - you gotta have at least 75% attendance.

Placement: Around 60% of us got jobs straight from college. The pay ranged from 3.5 Lac to 8 Lac rupees. Some of us landed jobs at publishing companies, while others became teachers at schools or colleges. The college also helps us find internships.

Campus: The campus is huge and run by the government. It's one of the best universities in the country. They have all kinds of sports for students. The hostel is really cheap, around 17000 per year. And they have free Wi-Fi all over the campus.

Admission: Most teachers are really good here, except for a few. They know their stuff, are super helpful, and have lots of knowledge. Right now, we're in the middle of our semester exams, so there's some stress and pressure. These exams are a big deal for our academic future.

Placement: I don't know much about placements, but I heard a student got a 7 Lakh package. I think it was Al Jazeera. Most students get internship opportunities because we have two months for internships after the first year of M.A. Convergent Journalism.

Campus: The Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and library at our college are really good. Everything is separate and organized well. If we have any issues, we can complain and the administration takes care of it. I can't answer your second question because I live in the hostel, not a rented flat.

Admission: The teachers here are great! They all have Ph.Ds and really know their stuff. They're always around to help us out. Each teacher has their own cool way of teaching. With lots of job options in our field, we get to learn a lot about real-world stuff too. And the best part? The class sizes are small, so we get lots of attention from our teachers.

Placement: I started looking for placements in my third semester, and companies started coming to our campus around then. Companies like Viacom, Adfactor, Shareit, etc., came to our college. Viacom offered the highest salary package at 5.5 LPA, while the average package is 4 LPA. About 40% of students get placed through the college, and having our college's name on the resume also helps in getting job offers off-campus.

Campus: The college has good infrastructure and a friendly environment. We have Wi-Fi, computer labs, photography labs, a print media room, and large classrooms. The new canteen's food is just okay. The hostels are not on campus, but they have good facilities like a kitchen and gym. Overall, students have access to everything they need.

Admission: The teachers at this college have real-world experience, not just book smarts. They teach us a lot and also tell us stories from their own careers. It helps us understand things better. They're not just teachers; they really get into our projects from start to finish.

Placement: The placement process at MCRC is top-notch! In late January and early February, big companies like Viacom and Sony start visiting the college for placements. Students from MCRC often land jobs in production houses for roles like content writing, direction, and lighting. It's a great opportunity for us to kickstart our careers in the media industry.

Campus: The Media Communication and Research Centre (MCRC) has awesome editing labs for us students. We can edit radio shows, movies, and more. And guess what? They even have a TV studio how cool is that? We get to see how it all works! The canteen is tiny, but it's great for quick bites when we're busy with our projects.

Admission: The teachers are really good at what they do. They are super helpful and have tons of experience in their field. They teach in a way that's easy to understand, both in theory and in practice. Everyone shows up to class because it's always interesting and fun. I feel like we'll get to see real-world stuff later on. The course content is great and makes learning fun and easy.

Placement: This course is great for building confidence for auditions. Even though the placement rate isn't very high, we're prepared well. We haven't met seniors since it's only a one-year course. But we've heard Sony visits Jamia every year for recruitment. They only select a few from the mass communication department based on confidence and skills. Our classes focus on practical learning, not just theory. We don't do internships; we spend time researching and improving ourselves. This course is perfect for aspiring actors. Only 20 candidates are chosen nationwide, half from minority groups. It's a fantastic opportunity to kickstart your career.

Campus: The college has free Wi-Fi, which is cool. Our classrooms are huge and feel like theatres, which makes us want to do well. The best part is doing practicals, like at NSD. You just need to be excited to learn new stuff every day. There are lots of canteens on campus with all kinds of food. I don't stay in the hostel, but I've heard it's nice for Islamic students. The college's infrastructure is special and always pushes us to try new things.

Admission: The professors here really know their stuff. They've been in the industry for over 10 years and teach us in different ways. The university runs smoothly. If you join MCRC, be ready to work hard to succeed.

Placement: I'm a student at AJK Mass Communication Research Center, JMI. I've heard mixed opinions about placements here. Some seniors think MCRC will prepare you for a good-paying job, while others say it's more about building a portfolio and not stressing about job searches because placements are guaranteed.

Campus: The university's infrastructure is top-notch. The course is well-known, and many alumni have landed great jobs. The studios and recording equipment are excellent. Unfortunately, the hostels are closed because of Covid-19. The food is delicious, and medical facilities are free for all JMI students at the M.A. Ansari Health Centre.

Admission: The teachers at my college are really helpful and know their stuff. They teach well using lectures and hands-on methods. I also got to see how things work in the industry. Our course curriculum is practical and matches what‚¬â„¢s happening in the real world. The student to teacher ratio in our class is around 25 students to 1 teacher. Most teachers are qualified, but some could use more recent work experience.

Placement: The college gives 100% placements, mostly through off-campus companies like Viacom, Radio City, CNN, The Quint, etc. They offer production-based roles to students. I don't know the highest salary, but the lowest was 5 LPA. Not many students get internships from college, but the alumni network is strong and helpful.

Campus: The college has top-notch equipment, labs, and facilities. The food is not great, but the hostel rooms are decent. Wi-Fi is awesome and I never had any issues with the infrastructure. They could make the college more accessible for PwD.

Admission: The professors here are really nice and know their stuff. They're always around to help us out. Each teacher has their own cool way of teaching. Since our field has lots of job options, we learn a lot about real-world stuff too.

Placement: Throughout my time at college, I saw a lot of students getting job offers as designers. I'd say about half of us got placements by the end of the year. The salary packages were pretty good, starting at over 1.6 LPA. It was cool to see my classmates getting hired like that!

Campus: The university has good infrastructure. It's well-maintained and eco-friendly. We have Wi-Fi, computer labs, photography labs, print media rooms, and big classrooms. The new canteen's food is just okay. The hostels aren't on campus, but they're nice with rooms, a kitchen, a gym, etc. Students have access to all facilities.

Admission: The teachers here are so chill and know their stuff. The exams are pretty easy, not too hard. About 1 in 3 students pass. They're super helpful during exams, explaining questions and even giving us water. And they show us how to write the answers correctly before the test.

Placement: I scored 75% in college. The highest package they offer is 4 LPA. Companies like Hamdard and New Sharma come for recruitment. Around 10% of students are getting placed. The management arranges a 6-month internship to give you hands-on experience and teach you about the job. Overall, everything is pretty good here.

Campus: I really like this college. The facilities are great, everything is well-maintained and developed. The teachers here are awesome, always ready to help you out. And there's a canteen every few minutes that serves good, clean food. Love being here!
