Admission: The teachers are really good at teaching and know their stuff. They work hard to help us understand everything well. The courses they offer are useful and give us the skills we need for our future jobs.

Admission: The course is super relevant to real life and society, getting you ready for real challenges and more school stuff. The teachers could be better at engaging with us, though. The faculty-student vibe is great. Broadcast Journalism teachers are the best, super helpful. New Media teachers can be a bit overwhelming. We have two tests and one exam every semester. The exam difficulty is on point. The course curriculum totally makes sense.
Placement: The placements are decent, not amazing or terrible. I'd say it's a 6 out of 10. They don't offer a lot of great job opportunities right after graduation, so I just got my degree and moved on. The college gives you tools to work on projects and impress employers during placements. If you have access to the broadcasting room, you can go there anytime to work on projects and improve your skills for future job interviews.
Campus: The course exam isn't too hard, but journalism is tough since it's part of Media journalism. You gotta put in extra time for that. Each subject in the 1st semester has five units. To become a national media broadcasting journalist, you need to study and practice a lot. There's no hostel for boys, but girls have one. The facilities are nice, they take good care of cleanliness and hygiene. No mess hall, though.

Admission: The exam prep here isn't great because we don't have enough good info. Like, 30-35 students fail their exams every year because of it. And not everyone has laptops for studying. Plus, the lab systems are often broken, which really sucks.
Placement: The placement scene at my college isn't great. Most students struggle to find jobs after finishing the course. The college doesn't offer much in terms of preparing us for the real world. It's a bit disappointing.
Campus: The college I go to has pretty poor infrastructure. The library is small and doesn't have many books, plus there are no notes available. The wifi is really unreliable and often doesn't work. Also, a lot of the computers in the lab are broken. It's kind of frustrating.

Admission: The college has exams every six months, split into six semesters. The professors are really good, especially those with Ph.Ds. Exams can be tough sometimes, but if you put in the effort, you'll be fine.
Placement: Most students in our college get a placement in their last year, around 90%. The pay is usually about 4 LPA. We've had TV anchors, content editors, and big companies like India Today and Aaj Tak come to recruit. A lot of students also land their first paid internship while still in college.
Campus: I really like that the college is in Bhopal because the air is fresh and the environment feels nice and open. They've got good infrastructure and labs, plus medical facilities, Wi-Fi, and a canteen for us students. I also appreciate that they offer 24-hour facilities and games.

Admission: The teachers here are pretty cool and friendly. They treat everyone nicely and don't play favorites. But some teachers do show bias towards students who always stick with them. It seems like these students get better grades in practicals and exams, even if they don't actually do well.
Placement: Around half of the students get placed here. The average salary is between 3 to 4 lakhs per year. The lowest salary offered is around 4 to 5 lakhs per year. The highest salary is 12 lakhs per year, while the lowest is 1.2 lakhs per year. Companies like Wipro, Infosys, and HCL come for hiring. About half of the students get internships too.
Campus: The library and computer labs are available for students, but they're not well-maintained. I've seen rats around, which is not cool. The classrooms have around 2-3 fans, but it gets really hot and humid inside. It would be nicer if they kept things cleaner and more comfortable for us students.

Admission: The teachers at MCU were super helpful to everyone. They didn't show any favoritism. The semester exams were fair and not too hard. Your grades were based on how well you did. The professors really knew their stuff. Your pass rate was all about how you did on the tests.
Placement: The university placements were great. Most of our students got jobs in national media companies across the country. How much they earned depended on how good they were at their job. We had to learn both theory and practical skills to succeed.
Campus: The library at Nalanda had over 20,000 books, along with magazines. They had Wi-Fi, great classrooms, a library, and labs. The campus was awesome with good infrastructure. They had separate hostels for boys and girls.

Admission: The teachers really try hard to teach us everything. They're nice and know a lot about what they teach. I'd give them a 5 out of 5 for that. The curriculum is kinda old-fashioned and not great for today's jobs. Exams are always hard, especially the semester ones. I don't get why they have to be that tough. The pass rates are 35% for internal exams and 40% for semester exams.
Placement: I'm in my first year at college, so I haven't had any placements yet. But I've noticed that our college has a good reputation for placements. It's cool to see companies like Wipro and TCS coming here often. It means they believe in the students here. What's great is that these companies don't just hire for full-time jobs. They also offer internships.
Campus: The classrooms in my college are great. They use chalk and boards for teaching, but they also have projectors if needed. Our library has around 50,000 books. Wi-Fi is available on campus, but we can't use our phones during classes.

Admission: The teachers at my college are awesome! They're super friendly and always ready to help. They know a lot about their subjects and have tons of experience. Besides studying, the college arranges cool events like seminars, parties, and sports stuff. It's a great way for us to show off our talents outside of class. I have to take the big exam once a year because my course works that way. We also get to do internships and smaller tests during the year. It's a good mix of learning and fun here.
Placement: In my time at college, I've noticed that students who do well in their courses get good chances for jobs and training. They end up landing jobs in management and business areas. There are lots of companies that come to our campus or have online job fairs for us to find placements.
Campus: The campus has Wi-Fi, smart classrooms, seminar halls, a library, computer labs, and practical work areas. Classes and seminars are really helpful. They show how what we learn can be used in real business situations.

Admission: The core subjects are okay, but stuff like statistics and physiology feel outdated. We gotta use pen and paper for stats when nobody does that in real life! They don't teach us SPSS, which is super important. Teachers keep changing, and some are old-fashioned. They don't like it when we look beyond the textbook. Most classes are in Malayalam, and if you don't know it, you might get teased. Exam results are decent, though, with about 85% passing.
Placement: Around 3-4% of us land jobs right after college. But most of us end up going for further studies before finding work or switching careers. We all have to do an internship as part of our course. It usually happens during our second year break. The internships are mostly at local hospitals, and they last about a week.
Campus: The classrooms and labs are good. The library doesn't give us reference books, which is a downside. We don't have college IDs and there's no boy's hostel. Medical facilities are lacking, and there aren't many sports options besides sports day. The girls' hostel is very strict, but the food is actually pretty good.

Admission: The teachers here are really supportive and helpful. They do a great job teaching in the department. The semester exams aren't too tough. Some teachers are from Makhanlal College, while others have studied elsewhere. Every day, they teach us something new.
Placement: I really enjoyed my time in the department. We learned graphic design, video editing, and anchoring skills. It's cool to see my classmates now working as video editors and news anchors. A lot of students got placed in top news channels like ABP News, Aaj Tak, and Vistara TV. It's inspiring to see where we can end up after studying here.
Campus: The college has a really big and pretty campus. I love the library and auditorium here, they make the college look even better. There's also a ground for NCC activities. The campus is spacious and open, which is nice.
