Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I wanted to be a journalist. I have a great passion for this profession. So I took journalism as a subject in my college. We have a total of 45 students in our department and we have 5 professors. So the student-faculty ratio is very good. It's almost 9 students per one faculty. Our department is one of the top departments & very famous. Most of our professors are very helpful & polite. They have done M.Phil & P.hD. So they are very much knowledgeable. They have given practical knowledge for making us industry-ready so that we can take an internship and it is beneficial for higher studies. We have 6 semesters to pass. Every year we have to give two main exams.

Fees and Financial Aid

This college is a little bit costly compared to a government college. The admission fee was around Rs 5400. Then per year, the fee is around Rs 4000. So the total cost of studying here is between Rs 10,000-15000. You can apply for government scholarships named Swami Vivekananda Scholarships and if you are a girl like me you can apply for Kanyashree scholarships. You can apply for minority scholarships named OASIS along with SVMCM. And you can even go for many private scholarships like TATA, JINDAL, HDFC. After completing the course you may get placed in NEWS 18, ZEE NEWS, Khaskhabar & many other news agencies. The highest package you can get from campusing is 20k and the average package is between 12k-20k.

Campus Life

Our college organizes many cultural programs all around the year. Saraswati Puja, Holi, Teacher's Day, and winter cultural programs are the best. Our college campus is very good. Our college infrastructure is far better than many other colleges. We have our campus complete wifi-zone and a very clean & green garden in front of the college. Our library room is very clean and air-conditioned. You can get all department's books there. It's very silent & peaceful. Our classroom is also large and very widely spaced. We have annual sports activity and it is very much fun. Students from all departments can join here. We have a hostel facility too

Course Curriculum Overview:

I feel the theory part of our curriculum isn't much relevant or prepares for real - world applications, only some basic information is what I feel is necessary, although the lab and the practical part prepares us for real - world applications and teaches us a lot of things related to photography, news paper page building, survey report, etc. I believe they should have a better approach and teach more relevant real - world or in demand market skills which'll help the students in the future. Exams are conducted 2 times in a year, once between March - april, and second time between August - September.

Course Curriculum Overview:

From my childhood, I'm into music and this course allows me to further widen my knowledge of the entertainment industry, films, Television and etc. So this course will allow me to understand how media and journalism world works, and help me pursue the art that I love. The timings could be better of the college, but rather than that everything is mostly good. The frequency in my opinion, should be reduced to 3 main semester exams, and to have small mid semester exams throughout. That's my perspective.

Course Curriculum Overview:

1. I opted for this course because I thought it would have a good practical work, with good exposure and experience. But this course has nothing as such. The documentary we did was done all by ourselves. College did not help at all. There was a photo journalsm option in one paper but our college did not let us study that. They did not teach anything about photography, no practical training was given. 2. None. The curriculum doesn't prepare us for the real world at all. There is no professional study or activities. No preparation for interviews or real world jobs. Only theoretical and advices from our faculty. College doesn't provide any activity that can help us for the real world job. 3. More and more practical work with the help of college. More exposure needed. High quality software and equipments are needed. Students need a GOOD professional lab. More exciting activities for students. Placement opportunities, internships etc. 4. BAD. Per sem arrives in 2.5 months, too short time

Course Curriculum Overview:

Journalism is one of my favorite sudject . One of the reasons for choosing this subject is that only a journalist can highlight the good and bad aspects of our society before the people. The scope of the subject is journalism but it is huge. We can learn not only journalism but also photography, radio, film studies etc. The behaviors of all the professors in the journalism department in this college is very well. They very carefully explain all the topics thoroughly to the students so that the students do not have to face any difficulty with those topics later. Every year two semesters are taken every six months if the students do all the classes carefully and study well then they can easily pass by getting good marks
