Indian Institute of Mass Communication, Kottayam

Admission: The course is intense, but the material is interesting. It's tough to finish in just nine months. Most professors are friendly and some are really helpful. If you put in the effort, the exams are manageable. A few professors go above and beyond to support you when needed.

Placement: Finding placements can be tough, especially during Covid. There weren't many good companies hiring when I was looking. It's important to keep your options open and work on your CV. They don't allow internships during the course, so it's a good idea to do them before starting.

Campus: The Delhi campus is really nice. It's close to JNU and has lots of greenery, which makes it a great place to study. The library is good too. They have a great collection of books, including some rare ones that are hard to find anywhere else. The building is well-designed and detailed. Love studying here!

Admission: The teachers and classmates at this college were awesome. They really put in a lot of effort and it showed. I just wish we could learn more stuff, like current events. It would be cool if we could do more hands-on learning alongside the theory. But overall, it's a great school.

Placement: The recruitment for our batch in 2018 didn't go as we hoped. Some big media companies we wanted to work for didn't show up for hiring. But, most of us still found jobs in good media companies. I'd say around 60% of us got placed during the process. The starting salary was around Rs 15,000 per month.

Campus: The college provided us with a library, Wi-Fi, classrooms, and common hall, which was really great. The mess could use some improvement though, as there have been complaints. Hopefully, they'll make some changes for the new students. We had a lot of fun playing cricket and badminton on campus. It was a blast!

Admission: The teachers here are really nice and honest. The education you get is good, but lots of students skip class.

Placement: IIMC is a top-notch journalism school. Placements were pretty good for my seniors. Starting salaries in journalism aren't high, so most students got around 3 to 4 LPA. The highest package was around 11 to 12 LPA for advertising and PR. Big media companies like Times Now, Hindu, India Today come to hire students. They offer roles in print media and reporting. We all have to do internships at media companies as part of the course. The college's placement cell is super active and helps us land jobs.

Campus: I really like the infrastructure at IIMC. The college has free Wi-Fi for students, and we have some awesome media labs for journalism practice. The library is huge with top-notch media books, giving us access to info from all over the world. They take mental health seriously here there's a psychiatrist every Wednesday to help students out. The hostel and mess are great, making it feel like a second home. The single rooms with balconies and green surroundings are lovely. The boys' hostel could use more space though. Overall, it's a fantastic place to be.

Admission: The teachers are pretty good. Some of them are visiting faculty, so classes can be hit or miss. It's important to put in effort on your own.

Placement: Most students found jobs on campus until 2019. But in 2020, because of corona, placements are happening online. Once things get better, offline placements will happen. We haven't heard good news about placements yet, so it's hard to say how they're going.

Even now, the college is working hard to get placements for students. Being an IIMC student is cool because JNU is right nearby. IIMC is like the best place for journalism, and they give us lots of media exposure and take us on cool trips.

Campus: The campus has awesome facilities. When you walk in, you'll see a lovely garden and a playground. The library is nice, and the classrooms are cool with AC. The girls' hostel is pretty good overall, but the food in the mess isn't great. The vibe of the college is really cool.

Big companies like Zee, Doordarshan, and ETV Bharat come to our campus for hiring. Not many students do internships because they jump into job hunting after finishing their courses. Since they're newbies, they mostly get trainee roles, not top positions. Some end up as copywriters, video editors, show producers, or social media handlers.
