Rashika Gupta's Review On Pearl Academy, Mumbai

I have a general aptitude test and a design aptitude test followed by interview. The test was good and easy. I do not remember my score. The interview went well. I chose the course because i want to get into fashion advertising.

The course curriculum is very well defined and clear. The modules are given on time and the teachers are well aware of their subjects and experiences. The assignments given help us learn better. There are field visits also organised by the college. There are online research modules and presentations given as assignments which focus on research on brands and our industry.

Yes, the college provides internship but since i have just joined the college, i have no idea about the stipend.

I am a first year student and yet to be placed. The college promotes 96 percent placements but we are yet to see that. The seniors are not that satisfied with their placements. Looking forward to whats in store for us. Our internships will start next year in march.

The fee structure is very expensive. not all children can afford such fees. Its more than 7 lac for 2 years. They charge extra for student exchange programs. Students end up spending more than they get in placements.

I have no idea about this. Haven't applied for any scholarship nor aware of it. Loan availability is not provided.

In my class there are 20 girls and just 1 guy. So the ratio is 20:1. The class is a mix of students from Mumbai and outstation with varied backgrounds.

I am in touch with the senior batch of my course. They are extremely helpful and share their experience and learning from the course and are always up for any kind of advice or help we need.

We have not yet given our exams. Here we do not have written exams in all the subjects. There is jury in which we have to present what all we have learned in the semester and then get marked accordingly.

I do not remember the dates. It was somewhere in april i filled the form and appeared for the examination. The admission process was very clear and transparent all the info was clearly mentioned on the website and there were regular emails. There were two tests- one on general aptitude and other on design ability which was followed by personal interview.

The faculty is really good and have more than 7 years of industry experience. They are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They bring in their industry experience and make the class really interactive.
