The faculty that taught us were industry professionals so not only we got theoretical experience but also know about the harsh reality of the industry.
The strict timing taught me time management

Dislikes

at times it felt the management didn't understand our work during film projects.

Admission:

Bachelors in any course with 60% marks was the eligibility criteria. The forms, fees and dates are regularly updated on XIC website. Not much idea about reservation benefits. Had an online entrance exams with objective and subjective questions and was called for an offline interview afterwards.

XIC: A Pandoras Box Of Mystery’s

4.3Helpful

Likes

The primary environment of the institute was very comprehensive in its approach to welcome diverese students with diverse ideas
The infrastructure involved everything required to learn basics of film making such as a Cine Camera, Film Lights, Editing Softwares etc

Dislikes

The fee should be reduced to a reasonable amount as it might exclude a whole strata of students wanting to study in a premier institute

Admission:

The admissions depend solely on an entrance test for which anybody is eligible post their graduation. The test involves basic quantitative anf qualitiative assessments. The application fees is 3000 rs and the test comprises over 3 hours. The test is quite difficult and requires an overall awareness of current affairs and subject centric information.

Those College Days

5.0Helpful

Likes

I liked the professionals teaching in there and also there was a flexibility in other things too
The campus life here is very very excellent, I liked it very much

Dislikes

I didn't dislike anything but the travelling Distance was very much for me
Also the route on which i used to travel to reach college was very busy

Admission:

Firstly, you have to prepare for the college entrance exam and after scoring the required percentile you are offered the seat in the college by filling an application form and paying yearly fees of 900000 lacs in Installment and also as I am from the general category I haven't availed any reservation benefit.

Admission criteria are simple, the candidate has to apply for the course online or offline and a personal interview is taken by the college admission staff. To apply for the course candidate must have an undergraduate degree in any field. If any student is awaiting for the mark sheet he/she can also apply for the course. Also, a health certificate is compulsory and a candidate must have his own DSLR camera.
