IIMC AIZAWL - A TRUE PARADISE

3.6Helpful

Likes

Campus was beautiful, a perfect environment to study. Being away from crowd it was exciting and interesting.
We could interact with people from all across India and make new friends. Also the people of Aizawl were very kind and helpful at all times.

Dislikes

The campus is far away from the main city so it can become a difficulty to access the city from the campus.
Food will not suit the north Indian palate, and for vegetarians options are quite limited.

Placement Experience:

After the final, 2nd semester placement drive starts were students can go and apply for the placements. The placement drive happens in the Delhi Central campus were all students go. Companies like NDTV, Prasar Bharati, Accenture ad factor, trident and many more come for the placement drive most students get placed with package range in from 3.5 lakhs to 7 lakhs for annum. If you have completed your masters and your applying for period diploma then you can go for a job or some students even up for additional courses like a masters degree to further and enhance their skillset. I opted for a masters in mass communication to enhance my skills and get better jobs in the future.

A Place for Learning and Self Realization.

4.2Helpful

Placement Experience:

The college offers good placement opportunities for students as is the premier institute for mass communication in India. Almost all news agencies, news channels, radio companies, advertisement and PR agencies and PSUs come for recruitment. The students are also encouraged to apply independently to the organization of their choice. Top news channels like IBN7, Headlines Today, Star News, NDTV, India TV, Times Now came for recruitment. Radio channels like Red FM, Radio Mirchi, 95 FM come every year to recruit talented individuals. Pay packages vary starting from 2-3 lakh per annum and going up to 12 lakh per annum or more depending upon the organization and profile. Almost two thirds of my batch got placed successfully. The others got placed within a matter of a couple of months.

Poor infrastructure, and slow computers

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements after the first semester results. Accenture, TOI, Business standards. Students from all campuses got placement and marks didn't matter that much. My plan was to get the job in which my interest lies, so I didn't sit in campus placement.

Placement Experience:

The institute 'assists' in placements but doesn't guarantee a placement. So the campus placement system is not very robust. Four or five companies visit the campus and select very few students. Most of them also don't offer a good package initially. Students mostly try and find their own jobs.

IIMC Delhi: 1 Answered Question

How is the placement in IIMC, New Delhi? And what's the average package in advertising and PR?

Gaurav BajoriaStudied at the Indian Institute of Mass Communication.

The placement in IIMC New Delhi is decent, being a communication school run by the government. The table below gives the recently available data regarding the placement in IIMC, New Delhi.

Average package in advertising and PR	2.5-3 Lakhs per annum
Highest package offered	8-9 Lakhs per annum (NTPC)
No of the candidates receiving the highest salary	4-5

Key Highlights:

Being a government-led institute, it offers good exposure to jobs after course completion. But, it is not always as expected.
Most students are not attentive to the lectures, yet they get good opportunities in the industry. The academic score doesn’t matter that much, it is one’s skill that counts.
Candidates getting admission in IIMC, New Delhi should have a decent clarity of thoughts, along with good writing skills and speaking ability for interviews.
A thorough understanding of the media industry and its way of working is essential for improving yourself. Reading multiple newspapers a day is essential, which the professors focus on. The skills developed in the 9-month course decide how the student will perform in job interviews.
Many students pt for courses in digital marketing and web analyst to acquire the skills needed in the industry. Even after clearing IIMC entrance, candidates fail to get jobs because the industrial experts understand the candidate’s capabilities and select them according to their needs.

There are only a few students who receive good 8-9 LPA offers from PR and Advertising and that is what distinguishes them. IIMC has that fame in itself, and the candidate just needs the right preparation for his/her own benefits.
