Is Delhi School of Journalism a good place for future journalists?

In the starting two years, you will find the course curriculum easy which includes 40% theory and 60% practical work. It grabs students attention and interest to the fullest. It is just the basics of journalism and faculty tries to give good command over the language of students. Like fluency in writing and speaking in English or Hindi. Next year it becomes slight difficult for students as they reach the moderate level of journalism and the last two years (which is the masters level) is the toughest level that includes the deep insights into journalism.

The college particularly provides two types of government internships. One is vice chancellor internships which is 3-6 months long. This internship can be done on both full-time and part-time basis.

The second one is internship at press council of India which is provided with a stipend of Rs 10000 and duration of 2 months. The PCI also offers job to the interns if they perform good in the internship.

The overall campus life is good, apart from all the negative points that I have mentioned before. Students in the college comes from different states and countries and live like a happy family here. We participates in various festivals, competitions, activities and many more such things

The reason of choosing this college over the others is the one I mentioned back already. The college provides five year course which i found really profitable for me that I do not have to apply again for the masters and study and then appear again for the entrance examination and wait for the best college I get. But here I just have to give entrance at once and then study freely five years

I can say that DSJ has got the best faculty ever. Whether it comes to teaching students or interacting with students, the teachers always helps us in growing by all sides. They provide the best teaching techniques by showing movies, reels along with theory work. Also, there is a female faculty, I don't want to name her, but she is find her the best madam in whole DSJ ever. She motivates you in all sides like how to live life, how to stay stress free, that you can do anything in your life, especially she empowers female students for their life. Apart from these, talking about the examination, so we have exams once in a semester. There are total six subjects from which four are subjectives and two are languages (one is regional language and another is foreign language). The exam which I personally find the toughest is Spanish (I opt it as a foreign language).
