Testimonials

Friends from a world beyond boundaries, that’s Chetana. Scholars who guide us not only with cameras and scripts, but also with humane approach and constant availability are quiet normal at Chetana. Dialogues about each and everything happening around on a day-to-day basis is the tradition of Chetana. The rich alumnae flourishing in the Film and TV industries underline its heritage.

Chetana is not just a college for me! Chetana taught me to celebrate myself. It helped me discover and embrace the cinema in me. A journey into the very politics of cinema and a wider canvas to portray my dreams. All I wanted to do was make a movie but Chetana threw me a question, namely, why a movie should be made and what it should impart to society. A handful of great friends and teachers who made me feel at home brought great changes in me. From getting cold feet in my first year to delivering my speech as the Union Chairman in the following year, it moulded me. I was alive among the most fruitful conversations, talents and friends in my three years of college life. While being proud to be a student of Chetana I also have left a piece of me there so that I can come back to my roots. My gratitude towards Chetana is unbound.

It's a happy family with cordial relations between the students and the faculty members that helps to enhance both academic and interpersonal skills for each and everyone; a space full of mutual learning and grooming. I can't end this note without mentioning the greenery and the serene nature around us that cools and soothes our minds. These three years I have spent with the Chetana family will remain as a great experience and a lifetime memory.

'Freedom with Responsibility'
Yes! Chetana really means it and cherishes it!

The `Visual Effects Workshop’ at Chetana under the guidance of Razi sir offered a precious `hands-on experience’ for us. The VFX and the Compositing options in a way came as an alternative solution to outdoor shoots at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, when grand-scale, real-time productions came to a standstill. It gives hope to the Entertainment industry. Even the Malayalam Film industry, rather small in scale compared to Bollywood et al, would move more onto studio floor shoots. Applications like `Unreal Engine’, and open software like ‘Blender’ are transferring the mesmerism of movie making into the hands of ordinary people. This workshop was an eye opener, thanks Chetana!

A COMPLETE - POWER PACKED COURSE- This is how I would like to put the BA Visual Communication at Chetana College. We have a Management who is supportive, optimistic and always striving to give the best to the students. Faculty who are 24/7 dedicated to work towards the wellbeing of their wards. A wonderful platform with enough and more opportunities to showcase one's talents.....
WHAT MORE CAN WE ASK FOR?

I gratefully remember the creative support that my college Chetana gave me when I was making my entry into the Malayalam Film Industry. No other institution would have understood and appreciated my talent and also the challenging choices I had to make at that time. I am happy that I could take up a full time professional assignment as an independent photographer in films like `Ankamali Diaries’ and `Sudani from Nigeria’, without completely breaking away from my UG studies in Film and Television. I owe a great debt to senior professionals, who guided my journey into the industry; but I equally wish to acknowledge the support I received from my alma mater, Chetana College of Media and Performing Arts.

Chetana isn't just a college; it's a gateway to endless possibilities for students to shape their futures. Many have realized their dreams in media and film through this institution. As a student, I am proud to call Chetana the college of opportunities, where aspirations are nurtured and dreams take flight.

The life I lived as a student of Chetana was mostly about the experiences that I gained from those times. When I talk about experiences it comprises both professional and personal. My set of skills which has always helped me with my career, was carved from all the workshops and works that I was included in. I realised myself better through programs that I had coordinated being a union member of the College.

In mass communication and journalism, I recently finished my post-graduate studies.
