For print journalism, it has great faculty members.
Placements: I am interning at The Better India, which is a reputed digital news platform. Two of my classmates are interning at Deccan Herald. The top recruiting companies include IDG, Deccan Herald, The Hindu, The Indian Express and Outlook Business.
Infrastructure: The material, facilities and infrastructure required for print journalism are available, but the equipment used in the studio for broadcast journalism could be upgraded. There is a lot of space to walk around, and our classrooms are well-ventilated. The boards on the basketball ground need to be changed.
Faculty: The teacher who took most of our classes was a senior editor at The Hindu for decades, and his experiences were valuable and inspiring. Most of the other teachers were helpful too. Our experience with broadcast journalism would be better if we had different teachers for that subject.
Other: I chose PGDM at NSoJ because I wanted to improve my writing skills, and the course did just that. Events such as the NSoJ talk series were very insightful. Experts from different fields such as law, tech, and trade were invited to discuss with us. I wish we were taught broadcast journalism in a better manner. The school also shifted considerably from the initial course plan given, probably due to the pandemic.

Our college provides good placements, nice infrastructure and facilities and experienced teachers.
Placements: Placements have been really good in our college. Our alumni are working in reputed media houses across the country. This year as well, two of the students got their internships in Deccan Herald before four months of completing their course. By the end of the course, all the students are assured of internships followed by job offers in the same organisations. Internships are offered in The Hindu, The Times of India, The Indian Express, Deccan Herald, India Today, Republic TV, Caravan and other prominent print, broadcast and online media houses across the country.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is impressive. The newsroom, broadcast studio and auditorium are very spacious and suit the needs of the students. Classrooms are well ventilated with adequate resources and provide the right ambiance for students to discuss news. There is a good Wi-Fi facility, which helps students to access information online with ease. The hostel accommodation is good, and the quality of the food being provided here is hygienic. It would be nice if some varieties of food items are served every day for hostel students. Sports and games have always been given importance here. Students enjoy playing amid tight schedules in a day. Sports day celebrated here is the most awaited day every year. There is also a Baptist hospital adjacent to our college, which makes it easier for students to visit in case of any emergency or health issues.
Faculty: The course curriculum here is mostly practical-oriented and is the best way to teach journalism in a college. Print journalism is unique among the rest of the journalism courses. We are being taught right from the basics of journalism, including writing, reporting, editing, photography, anchoring, multimedia tools, broadcast tools and many more essential tools. The lecturers here are highly efficient with sufficient work experience in their fields. Broadcast journalism can be given more importance to help students to pursue a promising career in that. We have been introduced to multimedia journalism from this year which is helping us to explore new dimensions in the field. It is really an interesting and creative way of writing a story online.

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.

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.
