PR Course at XIC: Is it worth it?

Likes

The PR course is entirely build on industry feedbacks and therefore we are taught what is most relevant and advanced in the PR industry. They aim at making you not just a PR Professional but a communication profesional in all sense.
PR is a women dominated industry, therefore the girls to the boys ratio was 2:8. The faculty that came to teach us were all leading Professionals of PR industry. CEOs and other C suites came to give lectures to us in specialised modules
The placements for PRCC course at XIC is 100%, which is very commendable. Leading PR agencies come for the placements and offer higher packages from industry standards. Also the college life is going to be great with Istorid being the star of year.

Dislikes

As this was a course of 10 months, the schedule for classes was very hectic sometimes and we needed to attend classes from 9.30 Am to 8.30 pm on majority of the days
The fees that I paid that time was affordable for me, but the new fees is a little expensive and will be hard for some people to afford. But it is still very less compared to the other colleges.

Placement Experience:

The placements of PRCC course in XIC are 100% which makes it an excellent college to be in. Leading PR agencies like Adfactors, Genesis, Avian etc come here for the placements. The average package is 5lpa for PR

XIC: A Pandoras Box Of Mystery’s

Likes

The primary environment of the institute was very comprehensive in its approach to welcome diverese students with diverse ideas
The infrastructure involved everything required to learn basics of film making such as a Cine Camera, Film Lights, Editing Softwares etc
Apart from the A grade, industry professionals as faculty which enhanced the learning of basic film making and the intricacies of cinema

The fee should be reduced to a reasonable amount as it might exclude a whole strata of students wanting to study in a premier institute
