ICAT Design and Media College Chennai, B.Sc {Hons.}, Game Design and Development

Reviewed on Mar 30, 2020(Enrolled 2017)

Remarks

Money minded college and worst infrastructure they would allow you to whright the first sem exam after you pay the full fee of the year. If not you wouldn't be allowed to right the exam and the exam you paid will also be not refunded

Course Curriculum Overview

Course is just for getting the degree and if wanted to get a job more interest in game designing is requested and the xam structure is 2 exam per semester. and it would sarru since the college doesn't have a perfect university for giving the degrees

Placement Experience

2.5

The college will tell that they will get you an intern but they won't. but placements would be nice as there are many companies coming for recruiting. around 60 70 people will be getting jobs in placement every year

College Events

0.5

Only one ever will be a grand event and that's miraki it would be conducted in Feb of every year. the participants will come from around 100 colleges in chennai alone and the ground would be a massive one

Fee Structure And Facilities

250000 per year and it would get increased by around 50000 every year and that makes this college a not worthy. If having that much money na don't take this college instead go to a college in abroad as it would give more opportunities

Fees and Financial Aid

Yeah the only great about this college is they would help to get educational loan with H*F* bank without any collateral. This is the only good thing happened to me after joining the college. The loan repayment interest would be much higher in my case it's 12 percent per year

Campus Life

0.5

There are no physical activities conducted by the college management expect for the miraki event. the college could conduct sports day for name sake alone for that also the student must go to private ground for playing

Hostel Facilities

0.5

No i haven't ported for hostel. hostel is very worst in this college and the fun part is that they tell they have college hostel but the hostel are maintained by private owners and the food un every hostel taste like shit

Alumni/Alumna

Nope the college doesn't provide any alumni network. if we want any contact means we have to get it by yourself only even then someone will not give their contact details. Every no wand then we could see our seniors and super seniors

Admission

Online search and the only college which has a degree course for game designing. admission process is like every other college but fee is the main disadvantage for per year its 2. 5L and for admission its 40000 rs

Faculty

Facility would be moderate since most of them are around 25 and plus. and everyone will be jovialevery staff came here to only to stress out of their system after working in the industry for past 4 to 5 years

HIMT COLLEGE REVIEW

Likes

The faculties are very well experienced and there are captains who stay in the campus itself, so if there’s something we need they will be available all the time
The facilitieslike labs, ship in campus, DB tank facilities etc are top notch
The classrooms are fully air conditioned. There’s smart board. Overall everything is really good and also neat and clean

Dislikes

Galley food can improve a little and canteen is comparatively small for such a big campus
They are not conducting intra- college events and inter-college events is very less

Placement Experience:

Placements are really good in HIMT. I got placed in 1st year itself in MOLMI. All faculties try their best to prepare us for the placements and it shows in the placement interview also. Usually companies come for placements from 2nd year but there are some companies who want to take girl cadets 1st year itself. MOLMI, MOLTA etc came to our college for placements. After completion of the course, company will call for induction and accordingly they will call for joining the ship. For finishing the cadet ship , we have finish 12 months of sea time. After that a lot courses has to be done for appearing in 2 nd mates exam.

THE IDEAL COLLEGE LIFE!

Likes

The opportunities to meet new people and interact with a whole new circle of people by Club Activities as there are quite a lot of clubs according to the student's interest.
Many places to showcase our singing and dancing talent once we join the club or take part in any of the department events.
They have multiple labs for a single department so that the students get a lot of hands on training for coding and as well as hardware.

Dislikes

4:3 Ratio of Girls to Boys in my class and i hope it's the same for all the departments as well.
The college timing can go from 8:30 AM to 5:10PM.
The 75% attendance is kind of doable and maintainable to an extent.

Placement Experience:

about 70 to 80 percent of the students get placed afdter the colleg and the ones not placed also gets placed after the college with high network and communication from other contacts within the college, ZOHO Corp does take placements and i am preparing for my CAT exams as i am planning for My highers at IIM, 5th semester is when the students become eligible for the campus placements and the seniors are a good connection who help to get places and get a job after the completion of degree.

If you just want degree then only get admission here

Overall my college is not worth if you want to learn things and are new to the field. If you are confident enough that no matter what happens i will learn myself then you are good to join because that's what we do here. Most of our work and knowledge is of our own which we learned from the internet and other places....Read More
