Media Science at THA: Is it worth it?

The course curriculum matches quite perfectly with the industry standards. The course offers the students a theoritical as well as a practical approach of learning. For example, nowadays AI has revolutionised the internet and made things much easier for humans. it gives a vast amount of knowledge regarding the relevance of "media science" nowadays. I feel the frequency of continuous assessments should be reduced to 3 instead of 4.

Internships were not directly given to us. We were added to a google classroom where we got job openings and internship opportuinites. Top recruiters include SVF, which came to the college to conduct a placement drive.

The tuition fees is 55000 per semester and the library fees is 2000 per semester. There are 6 semesters. The admission fees is 30000. The caution deposit is 20000. Unviersity development fees is 2200.

We had an engaing 3 years of campus life. There were mainly 3 major events: AdAdda, Journoscope and the Heritage Academy Film Festival. These include competitions, workshops, guest lectures, fun games and days where we work as a team and gain leadership skills. Some of the competitions include Brand Pitching, Copywriting, Short Film Making, Photography competition. There are fashion, drama, dance and music clubs and students took part in various college events in the respective fields. Sports was the main backlash of this department. We only had 2 major tourneys of sports in 3 years. Infrastructure is above average as it is a private college and the fees justifies so. Classrooms are nit airconditioned. Library had a huge amount of books from all genres. Maclab, AV Lab, Seminar hall and News Studio are well maintained.

In order to apply for BMS, we had to fill a Common entrance test(CET) form and appear for the exam. Now you will qualify for the college according to the rank you acquire after the results of the test. My first preference was The Heritage Academy. The other options include iLead and Techno Main Salt Lake. But I chose THA solely because of the faculty and campus life. I also got selected for admission at St. Xaviers University, Kolkata. But I chose The Heritage Academy because it edges over others in terms of quality faculty members, engaging college life, and an anti-ragging campus. After clearing the CET conducted by MAKAUT, I had to clear a round of personal interview with respected Dean Ma'am of the Media Science department.

The faculty is really good and well experienced. They are knowledgeable and helpful. Some of them have their masters degree from reouted institutes. Dean ma'am is really polite and friendly with all the students. Faculty members are quite approchable at any time of the day and some are very frank.

I faced a written test as well as a personal interview. The written test was common for all the aspirants applying to colleges affiliated to MAKAUT. I secured 44 rank in the CET and got selected for the interview round. For the CET, I prepared from the internet. In the interview I was asked the SOP and I answered that, it was a chill interview with ma'am asking about my hobbies and aspirations.
