Placement Experience

We are also provided with Development sector internships which gives the students direct exposure to focus on the issue at the grass root level and the experience that is required for the student to become sensible media professionals.Lat year our college recorded 89% placement record.Top notch companies such as BCCI , NDTV , Flipkart.com , Adfactors PR , CNN - IBN visited our campus and gave selected a pool of candidates.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The hostel fees for girls hostel is 1,14000 p.a if you have taken a double seater room. You need to deposit a security deposit amount of 15000 which is refundable.The mess charges are 64,500 and thus the total comes down to 1,96000 including the shuttle bus charges of 2500. The academic fees for my course is around 3,00,000 in which you need to deposit an additional amount of 20000 ( Center deposit) which is refundable. I consider this fees a little bit expensive .

Campus Life

At our college we are taken to field trips which are a key part of media learning experience . We are also taken to production locations , printing presses , film and recording studios etc. Vaividhya which is an annual intra college competition organised by the cultural club of our college so that the students can showcase their talent. Moreover IN TRUE SPIRITS is an sports event held every year in our college for a period of three days where the students participate in various activities like swimming , table tennis , football , volleyball etc.

We also have alumni relation cell in our college which keeps our symbiosis family close and connected to each other. This cell organises the annual alumni meet where our seniors tell us about their experiences with the industry , how much they find it difficult in their first place and many more. They guide us in how we should plan our goals.

Fill in the necessary details . If you have qualified in the second round you would be called by the college administration for the document verification and thus granted admission in the college.

Faculty

The faculty of our college are really experienced professionals . They all are Phd holders with an experience of 10+ years in media & communication.Our professor Mr. Francis Mathew give us valuable knowledge about how we should cope with the media industry , what are the needs of media professionals etc . The teaching style of each teacher is really very different and innovative . Overall all the teachers of my college are really supportive and helpful.

Placement Experience:

The placement situation at my college is really good. It is getting better all the time. At my college students can start getting ready for internships and placement training from the semester. Then most of the full-time job opportunities start coming up in the semester. A lot of students at my college get something called Pre-Placement Offers or PPOs for short through internships before the actual placement season starts at my college. My college students get these PPOs. It is a big help to them. Placement, at my college is a deal and my college students take it very seriously. A lot of known companies come to the campus every year. The main companies that hire people from the campus are NVIDIA, JPMorgan Chase, Barclays, PhonePe, Microsoft, BMC Software and Citi Bank. Some companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro and Capgemini hire a lot of people from the campus. These companies, NVIDIA, JPMorgan Chase, Barclays, PhonePe, Microsoft, BMC Software and Citi Bank are really good at finding the people for the job. Companies, like TCS, Infosys, Wipro and Capgemini also give jobs to students. The Placement Highlights for the year 2024 to 2025 are looking good far. We have had some results. The highest package offered to a student is 45 LPA. The median salary is 9.5 LPA. This is a sign because it means that most students are getting a decent salary. 86.3 Percent of students have been placed so far. The average package is different for each company and role. For example a software developer will get a package than an analyst or a data engineer. Students who get the paying roles usually have strong coding skills. They also have projects to show and they do well in their technical interviews and in Data Structure and Algorithms which we call DSA for short. Placement Highlights for the year 2024 to 2025 show that these skills are very important, for students. The college does not promise that every student will get a placement. It really depends on the student. Students who ta
