Annapurna College of Film and Media

Admission: The teachers in the direction department were the best, they were all really qualified. The editing department also had good professors. But the cinematography lecturer wasn't great. They all used whiteboards and projectors to teach with PPTs and videos. We didn't get much real-world experience because we only had six weekends and a lot to cover. The course content was helpful though. After finishing this 6-weekend course, you'll feel ready to make your first short film with confidence.

Placement: After you start college, they'll let you know about any auditions or job chances through your official email. So, make sure to check your college email often. You gotta try out for auditions and try to get a job. The college gives you opportunities, but you gotta take them. Students often get internships in their field and end up working in TV shows or smaller production companies.

Campus: Studying at AISFM was cool because our classrooms were right in Annapurna Studios where all the movie magic happens. The classrooms were clean and had AC, plus they had projectors and sound systems. The canteen food was tasty too. I stayed in a hostel nearby, so it was convenient. Never had any problems with the facilities. Only downside was not being able to use the cameras and stuff for practice on weekends.

Admission: The film program here is really good. The teachers are awesome and help us understand everything about making films. It's not super competitive, but that's okay if you're just starting out and don't want to spend a lot of money. It's a great place to try new things in filmmaking without too much pressure.

Placement: In the film industry, finding a job can be tough. At first, the pay isn't great and you have to start at the bottom. The college offers chances to land a job, but you gotta know what you're aiming for.

Campus: The classrooms and technical suites at AISFM are really good. There's a small half-basketball court for sports, but not much else for extracurricular activities. They've been talking about adding a gym and play area, but for now, there's not a lot to do besides that half-court.

Admission: The professors at our college are really awesome and know their stuff. They talk to us a lot and make sure we understand. The classes start from scratch, which is cool. They go beyond the regular stuff and teach us extra things. This will totally get us ready for the real world.

Placement: I really like this college! The animation and VFX course for bachelor's is awesome. Big VFX companies hire students as interns, which is super cool. Getting internships here is a great opportunity.

Campus: The college has awesome facilities. The whole campus has Wi-Fi that's super fast. Classrooms are cool with AC and projectors. The library is tidy, and it's easy to find books. They also have fun sports like basketball and table tennis.
