MIC; A place which brings you out of your shells.

The course which is Media and Communication is very relevant, in fact, one of the most relevant course for studying and applying in today's world. In the digital era that we live in, everything is bound by the media. Media is the fourth estate of our democracy and it is the mediator between the lawmakers and the public, which makes the media very important as well as responsible. Some of the aspects of the curriculum that persuaded me to choose this course we're Advertising, Marketing, PR, Film studies and Photography. The curriculum is very lenient in the sense that it is well-researched and up to date so that the students get the best of information in the particular subject. It also prepared the students well for real-world applications as we get to do a lot of practical work as part of the course. The timing of the exams are also very lenient towards the comfortability of the student as they have enough time to revise their chapters and also clear doubts, if any, to the faculty.

There are a number of scholarships provided by the institution to those who require it. There is one that you can acquire at the start of the academic year itself based on your percentage score of your board exams and the Manipal Entrance test ranks combined. There are also scholarships available for those who come from backward sections of the society.

The social life of MIC is the most budding one as there are countless events and clubs that one can be a part of. The campus life in MIC is just so freeing and amazing as it does not restrict you in any way. In fact it does quite the opposite as to bringing you out of your shell. Breaking your comfort zones are a gradual part of being an MIC student as there will be an event to participate in every now and then. Some of them are Onam, Raasmela, Ethnic day, Durgo Pujo, Cinema day, Article 19 (the flagship event of MIC), Namma Sante, Namma Angadi, Artifex etc. MIC is also very technologically advanced in terms of infrastructure as they have up to date TV and production studio, 2 computer labs, a Mac lab other than the 2 computer labs and much more. Sports activities are also encouraged. There is a club for every other talent such as Meraki for Dance, Unplugged for singing, Kalamanch for Theatre and Drama, and Neem club for environmentalists. The student portal is called MU SLCM.

The application process is provided to anyone who searches the name of the institution up on Google or Instagram. The application forms are put up well in advance so that the students have the time to make informed choices. After filling up the application form, there will be a date for an interview as well as an entrance test provided to the student, based off which you will be selected to the institute.

The faculty of MIC is one of the best faculty for the courses available in the institution such as Media and Communication and Animation and BVoc, out there. Truly, the faculty are one of the best in the game or the industry. The institute and the faculty also set up various talks with renowned people in the industry for the students to get an opportunity to learn more about their course and make informed career choices and decisions first-hand. The faculty is very open-minded as to how they clear every student's doubts and make space for the student to be comfortable with them which makes for it to be a great learning experience. Every student is appointed with a particular mentor who is a faculty member so that the student can talk openly and confide in them if they have any issues with anything in the college. The faculty makes time for the students to interact with them and makes them comfortable to approach them in case of any mishap.
