The course review points out several faculty-related concerns, including infrequent classes, outdated teaching methods, and a lack of personalized guidance, which affects students' understanding and growth. The student-to-faculty ratio is imbalanced, and there are issues with faculty approachability and cooperation. In the visual media department, faculty performance is satisfactory but not exceptional. Exams consist of a midterm worth 50 marks and a semester exam worth 100 marks, with passing determined as half of the top subject score.
The curriculum includes irrelevant subjects, and while notable faculty members like Vinod Laxman and Dinesh Babu are mentioned, overall faculty involvement needs improvement. Placement opportunities are limited, especially in creative fields like Communication Design, with few companies visiting the campus and a lack of diverse roles. Students often rely on off-campus opportunities or internships, with minimal support from the college, making the process competitive. The B.Des Communication Design program, which started three years ago, includes internships but requires students to independently secure them.
The annual fee for the course is Rs 99,400, with a caution deposit of Rs 3,000. Scholarships offer a 50% fee reduction for students scoring 90% or above in the 12th grade, potentially extending based on CGPA. The BCA course has a similar fee structure. A 3+1 course structure awards an honors degree after the fourth year. Student loans are available for financial aid. Strengthening industry connections and offering structured support could improve placements and internships, better preparing students for their careers.
