You ACJ only once- get groomed here.

Faculty: ACJ has four streams TV, radio, print and new media. There is a separate course on business journalism for the people who wanted to pursue this. I was TV student and we were taught by BBC journalists and veteran Indian Media professionals. Hindu editor N Ram is a frequent speaker of our college. The course also have elective subjects which student need to choose. And they are taught some of the best people in that field. For eg Talking Cinema is taught by Bharadwaj Rangan.

Asian College of Journalism provides excellent practical knowledge.

Faculty: The course curriculum is lengthy but detailed. Many may feel stressed, but it is necessary and worth it. The course is a mixture of practical and theory. Moreover, professors ensure that the students also have a lot of on-field experience. Faculty members have a lot of experience, and they teach well.

This is the best place to go to if journalism is your subject.

Faculty: The faculty are the best part about ACJ. Everyone is highly qualified, helpful and knowledgeable. The student to faculty ratio is completely dependent on the stream and the subgroup that each student is a part of. The course curriculum is excellent. The exposure that each student receives is just what the media world wants.

Asian College Of Journalism - The best crash-course In journalism.

Faculty: The faculty at the Asian College of Journalism are mostly journalists working in some capacity with and at The Hindu-2019, a newspaper daily that has an extremely wide readership all across the country.

There is no deduction of marks for question not attempted in ACJ. The candidates can safely skip a question if they do not know the correct answer. They will be marked zero for skipping the question.

The total marks for ACJ entrance exam is 200 (100 marks each for Section I and II).
