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: I really like Makhanlal Chaturvedi University because the teachers there have industry experience and great connections. They teach us things that go beyond just what's in the books, which helps us get ready for jobs in the real world. The exams are cool because they want us to share our own creative ideas and what we know. And hey, the pass rate is 35%.
Placement: I did M.Sc. in Film Production at this college. We did a lot of hands-on work and even got to do real projects in the industry. We made our own short films, web series, and feature films that reached a big audience. After graduating, some of us got jobs in companies like Bansal Advertising, Dainik Bhaskar, Times News, and Aaj Tak. The salary varied based on the job, starting from 30k to 1L per month.
Campus: The campus at Makhanlal Chaturvedi University is awesome! All the buildings look really cool and Wi-Fi is everywhere. The classrooms are bright and have smart boards. There's a huge library on campus, plus each department has its own library. The hostel is nice, but the food is just okay. They've got medical facilities, sports equipment, and a great sports ground too. Love it here!

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 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 here are really helpful and know their stuff. But sometimes I've had issues with exam form filling. If we don't pay our fees on time, they won't fill out our exam form. The semesters are easy at first, but things get tougher after the third one.
Placement: Around 60% of students in my course got placed, which is pretty good. The highest salary package offered in our college is between 8 to 9 LPA. The lowest is from Rs. 50,000 to 1,05,000. On average, students get around 1.5 to 3 LPA. The top companies that recruit from our course are Infosys, HCL Technologies, TCS, and Wipro. A good number of students also get internships at Infosys and TCS, which is cool.
Campus: At my college, we have Wi-Fi, a lab, a library, and a canteen. There's also a hostel, but I haven't used it. We can play sports like cricket, basketball, and badminton. Plus, there are other activities to do on campus.

Admission: The teachers at my college are pretty good and know their stuff. There are a few strict ones, but they make sure we stay on track. We have exams every month to get ready for the final papers. My course has 6 semesters, lasting about 6 months each.
Placement: I'm studying BCA, a three-year full-time course. In my university, there are 40 students in my batch 19 girls and 21 boys. After we finished the course, no one got a job. But some of us are now doing MCA. BCA is great for learning about computer science and tech stuff.
Campus: The hostel at my college is awesome! It has great facilities and a cool new design. The computer lab is huge, and even though the library is small, itâ¢s enough. Sadly, thereâ¢s no Wi-Fi. But overall, the hostel is top-notch and the canteen serves good food too.

Admission: The teachers here were really good. They knew their stuff and had degrees in their fields. I especially liked Raghu sir, who taught me a C+ program. Their teaching style was great.
Placement: Most students here got placed in companies, around half to three-fourths. The lowest salary was 4.5 LPA, and the average was 5.5 LPA. Companies like Emphasis, HDFC Bank, ICICI, Oracle, and more came for placements when I graduated.
Campus: The labs at the college were great, and the Wi-Fi was really good too. The classrooms were big and the library had a great collection of books, including spiritual and sports ones. They had everything you could need in the library. Overall, I had a good experience there.

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.

Placement: Around 30 students land jobs in big companies every year. Our course offers a top package of 40 LPA and a lowest package of 12 LPA. TCS is one of the top companies that come for placements.

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.
