All our students are doing journalism in various streams.

Infrastructure: It is a relatively new college, and the campus is equipped with Wi-Fi and classrooms with both writing boards and projectors. Each individual has a single bench and is seated at a safe distance from each other to follow social distancing within the classroom. Classrooms are spacious and well-ventilated.

Faculty: Teachers go beyond to ensure that we are making the most out of the time we spend in college. They actively take part in planning and executing events for our benefit in addition to always being supportive in our academic endeavours. They provide us with extra information that is very useful for us both inside and outside the classroom. They are preparing us for university exams as well as public exams we may like to take. Our professors are very approachable and easy to talk to. All our professors are highly qualified and are experts in the field that they teach us. It gives students an insight into what our professional lives could be and what to expect from it. NSOJ's teaching method is not just a traditional textbook approach, but rather it is a hands-on method. The curriculum is relevant, and the NSOJ method of teaching and preparing its students for the professional world is the best. Positions our alumni currently hold are testimony to it.

Other: I am pursuing my BA at NSOJ and will pass out in the year 2021. I have chosen this course because of the combination if had, i.e., journalism, psychology and communicative English, and all are essential to becoming a journalist. The best part of our course curriculum is that our professors go a step ahead to make it interesting and useful without burdening us with work or irrelevant information. If anything has to be improved, then it would be a change from the fixed curriculum set by the university. NSOJ awards outstanding students with a scholarship depending on their contribution to college activities. NSOJ has its annual literary, music and arts festival which brings together some of the most talented writers, speakers, debaters and musicians from across the city, which is creating a vibrant atmosphere. The college is located in the centre of the city, and accessibility is very easy even by public transport.
