I AM a student of Class XI. I want
to do my graduation and postgraduation in drama. What are
the top 10 drama and film schools of the world and what
are the procedures of admission to them? I would also like
to know the future prospects of this course since I am interested
in acting.

Start taking part in your school plays. If you still
think that you are keen to take up acting as a profession
and have a flair for it, you can go through the websites
of the following universities or colleges: University of
New Orleans (degree programme in drama and communications),
Contra Costa College (fine arts), University of Hartford
(music, theatre and dance), Citrus College (drama), Columbia
College, Chicago (drama), Warwick Institute of Education
(MA in drama and theatre education). In India, you can consider
the National School of Drama, the Film and Television Institute
of India (FTII) in Pune, and the Satyajit Ray Film and Television
Institute (SRFTI) in Calcutta. I would also suggest that
you buy a book called Film School Confidential that
evaluates the best institutes in the USA and provides all
the details.
I passed my Higher
Secondary Examination last year with 80 per cent marks in
physics, chemistry and biology. I want to know about Chinese
universities where I could apply for my MBBS.

You can apply to the following universities or colleges:
China Medical University (CMU) which is one of the top 10
medical universities in China and is situated near Beijing;
Zhejiang Medical University in Hangzhou; Hubei University
of TCM, Wuhan, which has a ‘key university’ status;
Three Gorges University; Shenyang Medical University. The
marks you have scored in your Higher Secondary Examination
will qualify you for most universities in China which allow
Indian students to study MBBS.
The MBBS courses offered for international students are good but some Indian students have complained about the professors’ inability to teach in English and a lack of proper infrastructure. People from around the world are flocking to Chinese universities for medical degrees because it is extremely cheap.
Once you are back with a degree from China, you will need to clear the screening test organised by the Medical Council of India (MCI) before you can start a practice in the country.
