Course Curriculum Overview

2.5

I chose Journalism at Asutosh College as it is one of the best colleges providing this course under Calcutta University. My interest in media is well nourished in the course curriculum. The faculty at Asutosh is good. For more details check out the college website. Most of them hold graduation degrees with some having PhDs. The internal examinations in college are quite easy to pass for everyone.

Fees and Financial Aid

The course fees are really affordable in Calcutta University standing today in 2023 where 3-4 years of graduation degrees cost lakhs and lakhs of rupees. There are also multiple options for scholarships and financial assistance programs from the government.

Campus Life

2.5

Campus life is pretty happening, with above 20 departments in Asutosh College, events are spotted all year round. The college also hosts amazing libraries. Although some might complain about the amenities of the main building the newer buildings of our college do come with the facilities required.

Admission

The admission process was indeed very easy in Calcutta University and it is the same for all colleges under it. The eligibility is to have 60% in your 12th results and also on the availability of seats in a particular college. The application forms are available on the college websites as well as the university website. The process itself is pretty smooth and one just needs to act quickly once the merit lists are out with their names, to grab the seats within time.

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.

I want to be a journalist from younger age. That's why I choose the subject. And the Journalism department is very prestigious in whole South Kolkata.

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
