Manipal Institute of Communication Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

The PG students get a lot of companies and their average package is 6 LPA i believe. Last year the highest package was 20 LPA a girl got from Vedantu during college placements. Placements apparently have taken a toll after covid. For UG students there are less opportunities and the average package for us was 3.5 LPA

The course which is Media and Communication is very relevant, in fact, one of the most relevant course for studying and applying in today's world. In the digital era that we live in, everything is bound by the media. Media is the fourth estate of our democracy and it is the mediator between the lawmakers and the public, which makes the media very important as well as responsible. Some of the aspects of the curriculum that persuaded me to choose this course we're Advertising, Marketing, PR, Film studies and Photography. The curriculum is very lenient in the sense that it is well-researched and up to date so that the students get the best of information in the particular subject. It also prepared the students well for real-world applications as we get to do a lot of practical work as part of the course. The timing of the exams are also very lenient towards the comfortability of the student as they have enough time to revise their chapters and also clear doubts, if any, to the faculty.

Placements are good only if you're interested in AD&PR, graphic design, and videography but not good if you're interested in journalism. The salary packages ranged from 2 to 5 LPA. I didn't get placed because of the unavailability of jobs that interested me during the college placements.

Students become eligible for campus placements towards the final semester of their course. Currently, I have only been using the help of my faculty for internship opportunities, since I am not looking for placements. But they have connections with big names in the communication sector, and they often have personalities coming in to give talks and interact with the students. A great number of students opt for placements and approximately 90% of them do end up getting posted at really good companies. Others choose to continue with higher education. My plan after receiving my degree would be to take up a diploma in literature in the UK, while simultaneously finding myself a position at a good publishing house there.

From my seniors, I hear that 20/30 % of students from our college get placed. But now being in my final sem I know the reality. For covid and lockdown, the placement sector has been badly hit. Only a handful of companies came this year (5/6 companies). 4/5 people from our batch are placed but no placement for the big chunk of people. From 5th sem students become eligible for placements but in 5th sem, no company came to our college for placement this year. Only in the 6th sem, the placement cell started. Companies that visited till now ( some of them came to take interns and didn't offer full-time jobs) 1) Clevertize, 2) Social Panga, 3) Robert Bosch GmbH, 4) Saatchi & Saatchi, 5) Publicis, 6)PR Pundit, 7) McKinsey, 8) Edsol Edtech, 9) Momo Media, 10) MSL, 11) Genesis BC, Offers: 1.5-3 LPA (average). I plan to send CVs personally to companies through LINKEDIN and other job search platforms because the college hasn't provided us with good placement offers as claimed.

Media and Communication was a course which has a vast approach in the field of Media. The course I opted for had subjects like Journalism (in all the fields like broadcast, newspaper, radio) RJ in Radio, Filmmaking, PR and Marketing, Foreign Languages and on the last year final semester students were supposed to take up a specialisation course according to their choice. It seemed to be interesting and it would help me channalise my thoughts about my future after 3 years of graduation. For me, apart from this, the place played a huge role while selecting the college. Manipal is a small stundent town which is situated in the costal part of Karnataka, India. It is consist of students from all around the world which was a good opportunity of cultural exchange.

Positive *it's in manipal and surrounded by a lot of colleges *lot of people to mingle with and learn new new things *lot of college clubs for photography, drama, music, sports, cinematography and etc. *pretty small place everything is near by you just need a cycle to go from one place to another it's that close Negative *drugs are one thing which is easily available *any student can enter any pub or bar no matter what there age is. *gets toooo hot during the summer and rains too much during rainy days

I liked the course provided by this college. The subjects are different for every semester and the aura is splendid. This college provides a very good faculty which not only is good at keeping up with academics, but also is great in keeping a good rapport with their students. There is a whole variety of extra curricular activities which brings out the core personality of every student. I for a fact, had stage fear. But after I chose MIC, I really started getting over it.

The college is well established and helps he grow. They mould us and carve all the rough edges that we have and shape us to be excellent media students in the future. The faculty is extremely humble and understanding towards our sentiments. They help us when required. The who college as a unit is very functional

The college is an excellent place to explore yourself and has students from all over the country and all walks of life. Amany if the students are from engineering, and commerce the diverse background helps you grow a lot. But there are a lot of opportunities to party so it is important that you remember to focus on your career apart from everything else about the college life.
