What Students Say

Likes

I like the course curriculum that they have
We get to be super creative with our projects which is super fun

Dislikes

The infrastructure is horrible we have no campus life

Course Curriculum Overview

In terms of relevance, the Pearl curriculum is splendid, but the BCU curriculum that we do side by side does help us get more hands on skills, but is also completely useless and time wasting. Pearl academy faculty have no time management and make it the students problem

Class Size: 25Course Fees: INR 650000 per year

Internships Opportunities

0.5

Nykaa, AJIO, Manish Malhotra, vogue India, etc are some companies that students can intern for Their projects and outcomes rely on the job given to them so it varies from place to place but most of the work is digital based

Placement Experience

1.5

Only one batch has gotten placements from my college as we have only one proper graduating batch. Their placements went okay if I'm not wrong, with some getting placed in companies like nykaa, and ajio. But mostly the placements are not as good as they promise 100% placements but not everyone gets it.

Fees and Financial Aid

I'm paying over 6 and a half lakhs per annum for my Fashion Design Course that's integrated with Bangalore City University for my degree. Pearl only provides their own merit-based scholarship but if certain criteria aren't maintained, the students may lose it. Campus doesn't have much to offer, but I am part of the Fashion Society which is a club that focuses on the main team going to competitions outside of college and hosting events. I was also considered for the head of the fashion society but I declined them due to never ending work from my course. Maybe with taxes and the stationary that college does not include, I'd spend around 7.5 lakhs per annum (I need to buy fabrics for garments as well that's why)

Campus Life

The clubs are great but they need to have some sort of teacher involvement and they have no funds from college the students fund everything. The events are fun but the infrastructure is horrible. The library is quite nice and we don't have anything amnual we celebrate every event with nothing specially catered for Pearl. We did have portfolio event that showcased all our seniors work right before they graduated though.

Admission

All the information is on their main website Pearlacademy.com The application fees was 1500 and the eligibility is to have 12th pass (or whatever equivalent) Their exam and interview would be held in person and is quite easy as it's only 50 marks

Faculty

2.5

The faculty has great credentials in all honesty, but we have maybe 20 faculties as a whole for around 200-300 students? Most of the faculties focus on one on one mentoring of students which is quite helpful especially as each student is different. Only 2 teachers come to mind who are quite orthodox in teaching methods and are completely unapproachable

Likes

The teachers are really good at teaching over here. They teach you in a really fun way.
We go outside and observe our surroundings. We also do live sketching at malls or maket places.
We have group projects too. And it's really fun because you learn how to work with people

Dislikes

Sometimes the classes are far and we have to walk a lot
We have to pay for our own college trips when we go outside
Attendance is above 80 Percent and even if you are actually sick they don't leave you

Course Curriculum Overview:

We have really packed timings. We also have a lot of chances. Like an exchange program, internships and many chances to act or work in actual projects. I really hope they could teach us animation in the course and it would really help if the clubs are active. For every exam we have to come up with something new totally out of the box. sometimes we also have to work overtime.

Honest one

Likes

Social events.They’ve started doing many social events and it’s entertaining .There are many clubs in the university which has a lot of benefits aswell.
No ragging in the campus.They take strict action against it.
The university is well maintained and has a lush green campus which is refreshing.

Dislikes

Some faculties might not have the knowledge on how to explain it clearly to the students even though they’ve a lot of experience.

Placement Experience:

The fourth year students are eligible for placements.Mostly startup's have been visiting our university rather than the big companies.The highest package so far was 4 lakh .The percentage of students getting placements are 75% . Although they're getting placements it might not exactly be related to the course.It might be some other job aswell.

Teaching here is very good and is mostly practical learning which is very helpful and also helps us to learn a lot of skills to solve real life problems and situation
There a lot of events happening in campus every day and makes it a vibrant place to study in
There is a diverse range of courses and opportunities for extracurricular activities

Dislikes

Sometimes the work load gets overwhelming, balancing exams, assignments can be a lot of work
The class run from 8 in the morning till 5 in the evening which is tiring
The management team has to be improved a little bit

Placement Experience:

Campus placement is available and the average package is about 7 lakhs and the highest package is about 30 lakhs. Because the university is new there is only a master's degree batch that has been passed out. There is about 90% placement.

Likes

I really liked the way the course was structered. In the foundation year we had a little bit of everything to vasten our knowledge and skills.
The teachers are approachable and supportive. The interiors of the college provide a really good atmosphere for a design student.

Dislikes

The campus is a little too small. I wish it was a little bigger for us to enjoy a better campus life.
The mess food could definitely be improved. The quality is not up to the par.
Sometimes the classes get very very hectic. We are bombarded with a lot of assignments at the same time hardly giving us the time to focus

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for placements after their graduation project in the 8th semester which is the 4th year. A good number of companies around 8-10 come for the campus placements. The minimum package starts from 6 lakhs and can go up to 20 lakhs per annum. Almost 70% of the students get an on campus placement. Some get an off campus placement as well. My plans after getting the degree is to pursue masters in my field.

Good affordable college compared to others

Dislikes

Wish they taught more clearly sometimes.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is based at Bangalore university. And under the BSc part. You will learn based on that and the exams conducted by them. The faculty is fine but they keep changing. Some learning is self-learning but helps you find what you are good at.

There is some issue in placement, though we get placement the scope for the future through these placements are not that great. Many students fail to get proper placements. The scope or plan for many students is to try and open a new brand or collaborate with other students to create a new brand.

The college is not as per my expectations. Everything goes on changing every semester. As for now,the principal is very strict, but she has very good knowledge. Like in every college there is partiality in our college too. The theory syllabus is very less,n more practical part.

Summary of how life is lead in college

The admission process was quite good. I took an online entrance exam that had some unrelated questions to the course, such as physics, math's, etc. I was a bit misguided with the process as I had applied for graphic design but I was enrolled in communication design, so I'd like to suggest keeping it a bit clearer. The application form, fees, and dates for everything will be guided to you by the campus assistant themselves....Read More
