Aaishwi Goswami's Review On Christ University Bangalore, Bangalore

Since I wanted to study with journalism honors, Christ comes in top 10 in terms of media studies. They have amazing placements, very advanced technological curriculum, helps a student to broaden their creative field by making her/him participate in the numerous clubs, theatre groups, fests and other student groups.

Christ University is in top 10 in terms of media studies. In journalism we get fair share of practical as well as theory subjects. Practical subjects allows hands on experience for students such as photography in the 1st semester gives you detailed insights how to handle camera and technicalities and all the tricks associated with it. Mr. Ajay Kumar, the departmental head teaches this subject and he is a champion in this. Candidates are often taken for outdoor photography class where they are allowed to execute shots that the faculty has taught. The time to time assignments also tests your skills. Other theory subjects allows good crisp discussions and intense debate sessions in class. The faculties does not follow a particular book and that is the most amazing part of the course. The faculty helps broadens the knowledge beyond the books. The Writing for Print Media subject in 2nd semester is another practical subject teaches how to write proper news articles for newspapers and also how to conduct interviews, and even editing, the assignments of which gives you proper field experience. Students in 1st year are asked to come together and launch their own class blog where their handwritten news articles are put up. 2nd year focuses totally on broadcasting part of journalism so it's all about practical learning. Sound and video production is taught with proper hands on experience. Even the assignments are fun to do as one can experiment with different softwares. The faculties are much advanced, they provides the space for students to speak up when faced with any issue or problem and they try their level best to solve it. Their advanced teaching technics beyond books is what makes it amazing, where they just bring interesting memes, pics or videos to decide and have discussions in the class. The faculties are always there to guide you and help you. Especially Pradeep Thomas Sir, if you go to him with any problem he is always there to help you out. He most fun to work with and can chat over a hot cup of coffee, and it's all the faculties for that matter.

For media course for the 1st year the internship will be in any news media organization like Times Of India or The Hindu or Hindustan Times, it can be even in any regional news media organization and for the second year the internship will be in any production company

The job opportunities are pretty good as few of my seniors got in Rheuters after graduation, few in PR of famous companies, few got scholarship in abroad universities, few are working in designing team of many huge companies

Christ gives you amazing campus life as one not only goes there for knowledge purpose but self growth and improvement as well. One can continuously explore one's creative side. There are different student wings or clubs or groups or theatre groups that allows you to have an amazing life apart from the academic life. There are several fests in which you can show your talents, there fests where you work together with your class and groove to bolly numbers, the best part of Christ is ethnic day, where the students and faculty come dressed in their ethnic costumes or any traditional costume of their choice and enjoy the day fullest. On ethnic day the college goes in a different vibrant mood with all the music and colours and dancing.

Our campus has innumerous clubs, student groups and theatre groups which helps students explore their creative side. One can participate in the fests held in our campus. For example the CSA wing(Centre for Social Action) allows you to go for amazing excursions and adventurous trekkings, timely city clean ups and many more. There are several sports team as well which allows participation in inter- college compitions and even inter-state competitions, the wi-fi speed is pretty amazing and to use it you just need to get your laptop configured from the computer department. There are respective labs for every course, be it physchology or media, and the students are allowed to enjoy the lab facilities, like in media lab there are proper professional cameras, lighting setup, a recording studio and computers. Even the NCC wing of the college allows both girl as well as boy participation and helps in self growth. Other than these the campus is quite nature friendly and it is full of greenery.
