Remarks

The college is really small and ever year the crowd comes to college more than 50%. The fees is expensive and there is no scholarship for actors.

Entrance Preview

No entrance exam, just the interview with Shernaz Patel mam. I opt for this college because in 2015 FTII, Pune had zero year.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The course structure is really good but the execution and the management of this college really sucks. It's a great opportunity and place to connect with the people who are established in the industry but individual classes with actors could have been better. Also in first semester there were no classes on acting.

Internships Opportunities

Yes we have a placement cell which only provides internship if you excel in the studies and prove yourself to be outstanding.

Fees and Financial Aid

They send few students from cinematography department, producing department and sound department to Dodge Film School in America. I don't know the name of the city where it is situated.

Campus Life

3

Every month a new event takes place. Every year there are internships and all. I dont know about the gender ratio but the girls are less and quiet fat, fat. I miss my college though.Everyday there was some new exercise for actors. Some new relations, fake accent people, fake smile but few were damn original.

Hostel Facilities

0.5

There was no hostel for Whistlingwoods when I was there. But from this year they have opened a hostel in Malad and the amount for that is 5.lac rupees per year. The food of canteen is so far the best food in Goregaon. Rest of the Goregaon and most of the Mumbai food is Just OIL and COLOR.

Alumni/Alumna

Senior students are good at motivating. They are working in the industry and visit the college often.

Exam Structure

The exam structure for diploma are just for the sake of it. But TISS and BDU exams are pain in the ass. I'm from diploma so I really enjoyed my exams. But from 2nd semester there were only practicals. As we moved in the acting specialisation. We had perform a play, a short film exercise in collaboration with producing students.

Admission

1. First I sent my views about my favorite films and a monologue to the college. 2. I gave an interview on phone to Shernaz Mam(then H.O.D. in acting department). 3. Then call came from Whistlingwoods to submit the Security and first semester fee. DONE

Faculty

4.5

Shernaz Patel - She is working in bollywood 3. Aru Verma - Working as actor in Bollywood 4. Anil Mange - working in bollywood 5. Nayani Dixit - working in bollywood and many more
