Campus Life

Bachelor's in fine arts is provided by just 2 colleges in Delhi, which are Jamia milia islamia and College of Art DU. Due to my admission year being the same as the Covid year, DU had some issues with conducting their admission process and I was only left with Jamia, hence I tried my best and cracked the entrance, which I should tell was not easy. Once I entered I thanked God for letting me be there, the faculties are very friendly, helpful, and kind. Their teaching method is unique and interesting and learning is always fun here. All my teachers are PhDs and extremely knowledgeable. Our examinations are conducted semester wise, it is a 4 year, 8-semester course, and after every semester with go through an examination, I'd say they are not easy, one is tested thoroughly, and passing them gives one a hard time if not studied well, for which you need to pay attention in classes.

Bachelor's in fine arts (Applied arts) is a technical course, which allows you to work in fields like graphic designing, art direction, software work, advertiser, etc, hence the scope of your career is very wide in this, and the students become eligible for campus placements right after their 7th semester when huge multimedia companies like fortheye solution, park secure, Honda and even Netflix India come to give offers. The highest package entailed till now is 2.5 lakh per month. After completing my bachelor's I'll be applying for a master's in VFX and animation from Jamia itself along with securing a job beside it.

The fee structure is pretty less according to me, since it is a government college they charge you less but it is not a cheap course, cause instead you have to buy stationery and gadgets to use, the software is also bought and learned. I was even provided with a 3000 rupees scholarship by the University for securing 2 ranks in my class. So I can say they keep providing scholarship opportunities to their students throughout the year every year.

Campus Life at Jamia is pretty fun, there is no discrimination or hate amongst the students, everyone is ready to help everyone and instead of competition, we see each other as opportunities to learn. There are a lot of functions conducted by the campus to motivate students and celebrate their achievements. The classrooms are well designed as huge classrooms with perfect ventilation and being there is always comfortable. Yearly sports day is conducted in which students from all departments make teams in selected sports and compete against each other. Apart from that there are social and cultural groups in which all the students willingly participate and I love the teamwork that comes out. The library here is a never-ending room for knowledge, almost all sorts of books are available there, and you can get them issued on your Library card and can even take them home to read peacefully. Overall life on the campus is very nice.

My course has tough competition, almost 1000 people sit for the entrance every year and there are only 30 seats. Everything related to the form dates and fees is available on their official site, is very easy to find and they even constantly keep updating emails Yes, when they conduct entrance examinations, I'd say they don't provide the students with seating as per their requirement. If one has to draw on A2-sized paper making them sit on a table even smaller than the paper's size is unfair. Besides that, their admission process is pretty smooth and easy to understand.
