Fresher's introduction to Srishti Manipal

My course allows me to be completely focused on my work and portfolio while keeping up with the classes. Which was a deciding factor in choosing this institution and course. My course is designed to be industry focused and when you graduate you will be familiar with the works in the industry giving you an edge. Our exams are focused on the teachings from the previous semester and usually takes place over a week with a set of tasks with clear briefs. Almost recreating the environment one would find working professionally. We could definitely work on interdisciplinary collaboration more and have more focus on grasping the skill intended to teach rather than the outcome desired as the students are still at the end of the day in the institution to learn and won't get another chance at strengthening basics.

The tuition fees might increase by upto 15% for existing students but it has increased 15% for the newcomers every year. They keep the structure unchanged after declaring it in the first year. I paid 325000 for tuition in first year including all other charges from the institution ,350000 in second and now I'll be paying 375000 this year. For Bdes courses, it doubles. There is financial aid available and payment plans for the less fortunate. Scholarship is given on the basis of merit. No placement garuntee as we believe in self sustaining which is hindered when mass hiring happens which demotivates one to explore their true potential in the field.

Fests and exhibitions are held year round with the student body run fest 'mujo' inviting artists to perform from across the country and giving a chance to the institutions own artists to perform in front of a huge crowd to test their ability. State of the art libraries, studios and equipments you could ever possibly need. From sound and foley studios to animation and green screen labs. We have it all. Campus has some of the best sports facilities you will see. A professional athlete will have nothing to complain about with the on campus gyms, multiple sports facilities and access to professional coaches from Centre of sports excellence.

The admission process is smooth as long as you pay close attention to the instructions. An entrance exam or your uceed rank is the key deciding factor. Keep in mind one will be competing with applicants from all over the country.

I am in a class with 4 other students and that gives me the benefit of having a very close and focused interaction with the faculty. We are free to contact them whenever with any kind of issues as most of us have their phone numbers. We also maintain a very informal relationship with every faculty member and very friendly environment. Their work precedes them so we are confident in their skills to teach us their craft.
