Course Curriculum Overview
The course fortunately covers various dimensions of the media field, but I feel that it lacks information on core Journalism. To be specific, while the curriculum has topics like writing and editing for print media, there is no mention of topics like page design and editing, due to which the students lack the necessary skills.
Internships Opportunities
Parul does offer a lot of internship opportunities, but not for Arts students. The offers the students get are nowhere related to their field of study. Arts students are ignored due to them being less in number and that is a very negative aspect.
Fees and Financial Aid
The tuition fee is quite affordable. Compared to other universities, a fee of Rs.35000 per semester Unfortunately, the campus jobs have to do with what the course is about. The college management is too focused on engineering and management students to look into the matter of Arts students.
Campus Life
The fests and events organized are unlike no other. Parul University has a very good portfolio in terms of events and often organizes them at the grandest stage possible. The sports facility, in terms of training is lacking though. The libraries are not well equipped with books for Journalism students.
Hostel Facilities
While the hostels may seem affordable and do offer many services, the attitude of the staff is disappointing. The clothes sent in the laundry come back dirty, and the food provided is pretty sub-standard. The most disturbing attribute is that the hostels are infested with rats and the management does nothing to ammend thatm
Admission
There is no eligibility criteria, which I think is not that great of a situation. Some kind of a test or atlas t interviews should be kept before giving admission to a student. Additionally, the office workers of the admission cell are very lethargic and lazy. They don't properly explain the conditions
Faculty
All of the faculty members are well educated and have on-field experience, due to which they impart a lot of on ground knowledge. A majority of the faculty is currently pursuing PHD as well, which enhances their credibility. The faculty is friendly with the students and have family like bonds.
