Hi, VIPS tries to get more and more companies every year, so that every student gets placed. The college even gets internships for students doing BCA and BJMC Law and BJMC. Placements are rather better, though even here most students choose to look for a job themselves. Companies that visit the campus are Airtel, NDTV, Zee, Mid-day for journalism students. The college doesn't own its own hostel which is one drawback but there surely are PGs/Flats (private) at a stone throw distance from the campus. As I said earlier that the region outside college is less safe, it all depends on you whether to go for PGs or not. Students from outer Delhi region have no choice but to stay in PGs or at a relative's place. The faculty at the Vivekanand Institute are senior professors, with high qualification and a lot of experience in their respective fields. Faculty members in all the departments are good, and dedicated. Many are friendly and understanding, many aren't. Professors often provide handouts so that students can study at home. You won't feel much of a difference at first between school and college due to the strictness for dress codes but you would surely sink in the environment later. All the best.

Performing arts or fine arts is a course that offers an undergraduate degree. These courses are basically for the duration of 5-years or some for just 3-years. These courses are for those who hold an interest in a particular field. After completing performing arts course in theater and television, you can become a director, an anchor, a sound editor, a cinematographer, a video editor, a graphic designer, a multimedia artist, an animator, a voice-over artist, an actor, etc. in the private sector. Gov sector also provides job opportunity to graduates with fine arts. As a fine arts/ performing arts graduate, you can become a teacher in a government school or colleges, you may join channels like DD News, Regional DD channels, Lok Sabha channel, Rajya Sabha Channel, Prasar Bharti and Aakashwani, designing of different logos and animations for gov. sector, become a director and other officers in different public sector organisations.

After editing and proofreading course, you can become an editor/proofreader/writer/ book publisher/ book writer/ website content writer/ content editor, etc. The world has now been digitalized, so the scope of editor and proof-readers have increased both in India as well as abroad. But, the job of an editor and proofreaders is quite different. An editor has to check the Writing style, sentence formation, add or delete words/sentences/ paragraphs whenever required. Whereas proof readers check grammar, punctuation, spelling and other necessary elements of a content. One may join a newspaper agency, magazine, publishing company, or become a freelance editor or proofreader. This work requires very high concentration power and very strong hold on your language. You must have an excellent knowledge of the language, both grammatical as well as vocabulary. A good editor/ proofreader must avoid mistakes excessive use of words.

If you want a career as an actor or a model, this course can help you. After completing your course, you can become an actor, a model, a screenplay writer, a theater artist, an anchor, or a TV host, etc. You may also proceed with a career in Radio as RJ, script writer, recording artist. Basically these courses open up a door into the world of glam, where you can only succeed if you own a talent along with a degree/ certificate. You don't have things to mug up and write but to observe and adapt. An actor can't be successful by just speaking the dialogues provided to him/her by a scriptwriter, but by speaking them with apt feelings and expressions. In the same way, a scriptwriter just doesn't write away a script, he understands the story and writer's dialogues after feeling it. A career in these fields requires lots of hard work, creativity and excellence.

Do read my answer to the question 'How to Be a VJ and what salary to expect?'.
https://ask.shiksha.com/how-can-i-become-a-video-jockey-vj-what-starting-salary-can-i-expect-qna-4393281?referenceEntityId=4396513
The skills needed are somehow identical as both relate to the camera. The VJ job is informal and carries some casual aspect of presentation whereas, a news presenter is to be a formal, disciplined, strong and firm in communication, balanced in opinion as well as highly informed about topics of politics, social matters, education, economics and others. Basically, general awareness is needed. Formal mass media education, electronic media education or degree can increase possibilities of getting a job in news houses. Salary, I quote the same as I said for VJ- No Final Word. However, I have an idea that it stars from 15-20k per month and ranges towards 50k for beginners with some experience or fresher. The day you get experienced and known you get unending growth.

This question needs two submissions from the student's side:
1. what are the academic or educational credentials of the person?
2. Based on what skills, expertise, experience and appearance does the aspiring video jockey wants to claim the job?
Answer by assuming that the person is having some substantial education like graduation or something which makes him or her a literate person. I shall not recommend the observation that even an illiterate person can become an VJ. So proper education, excellent language skills in the targeted or demanded language, fluency in speaking, sense of humor and courtesy, improvisation in the live speech, no fear of stage or acting along with an impressive and pleasant personality. Proper training and exposure to the camera and presenting oneself to camera and audience in a live mode needed. Some good videos are already available and shared on Youtube and participating in regular RJ and VJ Hunts will also open possible jobs. Now comes the salary part:
No final word can be given on this. It may be thousands or even Lacs per month for someone who works with a reputed brand of a channel. Who starts as a fresher may get to the average package of the industry as given to other media profiles. I repeat, no final word on salary from my side.
