Placements and Internships
There is a compulsory 1-month internship requirement for the second year following which an internship report must be submitted and verification will be done by the Internship Head of the college. The college will aid in laying out the options but not all the way through.

Entrance Exams & Admissions : It's one of the top ten colleges which offer a degree in media and communication. They conduct an entrance exam is actually not that difficult to clear. I wrote the exam back in 2017 when the entrance exam was for 100 marks and the seats were given to students according to their respective ranks. They offer only 120 seats a year but if you manage to secure a rank of anything below 250 then you would most probably get a seat.
