Course Curriculum Overview

1.5

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

Fees and Financial Aid

1. The fees for our course according to all facilities of this college is very high. No help is provided against such high fees. 2. 4800/- is an extremely high amount of money, and they provide nothing against it. Just some theory studies and most basic practical projects. 3. No scholarship is given from college. We get govt scholarships but even tho college promised us a full time or half time scholarship they didn't give us anything! Even after talking to the authorities and office they didn't provide us anything, we're almost at the end of our college. 4. NO EMPLOYMENT! No internships, no employment, no work or job is given. They don't even grant us leave for internships. I have done 2-3 internships in my college life and all of them were found by me. Even after asking they didn't provide any leave. I had to manage it on my own. But our HOD ma'am helped.

Campus Life

1.5

In the time of admission they mentioned they clubs but in my 3 years of college course I have seen NO such club. No extra curricular activities are offered. Tho there is one club of NCC. but other than that no other clubs are there. Such as film club, drama club, photography club etc. There is no such student groups or clubs. But we friend's have participated in some interesting college events and even won in one. Once in a year college holds a sports day but that is not something extraordinary.

Admission

Admission process was easy. Since we got admission in the pandemic there was no entrecae examination. Cut off was rather easy. I got in easily. There was no issues with the admission process. It was rather easy and quick.

Faculty

4.5

They faculty is really good. We can reach them at any waking hour. They help us everytime. Our mentor HOD Tanuja Basu Roy is very qualified. She has a PHD. Other teachers also have a in depth knowledge of the subject. They communicate with every individual student in class and solve our doubts. We have a communicative method of learning. They talk to every student and help them individually. They also support us if we want to try something new in our practical projects. They help us with every problem that we face. Overall er have a decent relation with our faculty.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I had chosen this course because of the Media and the lab facility, and my desire to understand the entire course in journalism and mass communication. The course that I took gave a bit more theoretical aspects rather than the practical ones. The practical ones were a bit less compared to theory ones. The areas I would suggest for improvement would be to encourage more assignments and provide more internship facilities to the students. The frequency of the exams for me was okay, and it was moderate, not difficult.

Reviewed on Mar 17, 2025(Enrolled 2023)

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:

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
