My experience at XIC has been very eventful. Right from the first lecture till our final short film project, it has been exciting, full of challenges and of course, a whole lot of exposure to the world of cinema.

What I loved the most about the course was how it allowed us to understand professional work standards and at the same time attempt to create such work bound be it strict deadlines without a lot of external support. From collaborating with my peers to participating in jury based assignments and presenting our ideas in front of experienced professional, these have been some of the most enriching moments of course at XIC.

On completion of the course, I can confidentially say I’ve met many goals, not only do I know the kind of job and work domains, I’m interested in, I have also received some priceless advice from my professors about the same.

XIC was my dream College since the moment I went through a College search. I felt extremely lucky to have gotten the opportunity to pursue AMDA from here. I have learned how to manage time and resources and be competitive. It is owing to these contrasts and extremities of situations that I learned how ’real life’ works.

As I mentioned above, the severity and contrasts in situation, the timelines and deadlines have made me a bit more proper in my planning.
