One of the most known University in Chennai - pros and cons

The Curriculum includes both internship and dissertation in the final semester which lets the student have some kind of experience before leaving college. Subjects like data journalism are quite relevant and documentary making, editing techniques are there which gave a proper understanding of how things work in the field. Practical papers are quite difficult but exams are not as we already write three exams (CT1, CT2, Model exam) before going to the semester exams. So it's always like we know everything before the semesters.

When I joined the University it was 50k per year but I think it has gone up to 60k per year. Every semester we pay exam fees around 3000 or less than that and apart from that we aren't asked for any other money from the college except for Industrial visits, assignments or farewell to seniors. We were not provided with the knowledge of scholarships but I was once told that there is scholarship for military background students. As a 1st year student I haven't done any internships yet.

There is the events like Aarush, Milan that go on for days. They are typically held in the mid sem of each year. The university also celebrates holi, pongal etc. The university is quite famous for bringing guests that are big celebrities. There is a huge library that contains alot of books, the library is usually occupied by the students. Some classrooms have projectors and some have a big screen led in which we are taught. These classrooms are equipped with camera. There are clubs like young journalist association and film club etc in the department which add some kind of credit to the academics too.

When I applied for the course they took 1k application fees and then they called me for my certificates and they approved my admission and i was asked to pay 55000 including registration fees for the first year. You can easily find the application form on the Srm University website and its a quite time consuming process but it isn't hard. The main problem with the University is that they don't reply to mails so sending them queries are useless so you can just call them and ask.

Most Faculties are well qualified but sometimes there are less numbers of faculty that they end up assigning research scholar as our subject teacher or a research guide for our project. The research guide that was assigned for us is soo rude. There are mostly Faculties that have a doctorate and every teacher's approach varies. But they are all good at interacting solving our problems etc.
