Well-structured journalism course with strong practical training and decent campus facilities.
Placements: Around 70% of students got placed from our journalism course. The highest package offered is 5.5 LPA, the lowest is 1.8 LPA, and the average package stood at 3 LPA. Top recruiters include NDTV, Dainik Bhaskar, The Indian Express, and Zee Media. Nearly 60% of students secured internships in companies like India Today, The Quint, and News18. The top roles offered are reporter, content writers, copy editor, social media executive, and digital journalism.
Infrastructure: The journalism department offers well-equipped classrooms, high-speed Wi-Fi, a media lab, and a resourceful library. Hostels are clean with basic amenities. The mess serves hygienic food, and the canteen offers affordable snacks. Medical facilities are available on campus, and students have access to sports grounds and indoor games for recreation.
Faculty: The teachers are helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable, offering practical insights alongside theory. The curriculum is industry-relevant, covering core journalism skills and digital media trends, making students job-ready. Semester exams are moderately challenging but fair. The pass percentage is around 85%-90%, reflecting strong academic support and student performance.
Other: I chose the diploma in journalism because of my passion for storytelling, media, and a desire to build a career in the communication industry. The best part of the course is its practical exposure, with real-time assignments, media labs, and industry-focused curriculum. However, I wish there were more guest lectures and field visits to gain deeper insights into newsroom functioning. The campus has a friendly crowd, decent infrastructure, and regular events and fests that keep the environment vibrant. Public transport connectivity is good, and scholarships are available for deserving students. Extracurricular activities add to overall student development and creativity.
