Very good facilities and infrastructure, helpful faculty and decent placements

Journalism is a vast field with expusure to fields like journalist, anchors, editors, copy writers, content writers, video editors, designers and many more. The curriculum well prepares us students for the industry. However they can improve by giving us more practical exposure rather than theory. The exams are quite easy with real life application based questions which are beyond the textbooks

The top recruiting are for placements are Bharat Express, PR Guru, Amar Ujala, Dynamite News, T.H.E.M.E.S. Over 90% of the students were placed for internship in Amar Ujala, PR Guru, Aaj Tak, ABP News and Doordarshan. Top roles offered are journalist, content writer, anchor, film maker, and back end roles like video editor, graphic designer etc.

80% students are placed through DME with a package of 5 LPA to 7 LPA on an average which is quite decent for a fresher entering the industry.

First year fees is 126000 Rs, and for the rest 2 years it is 116000 Rs payable every year. The fees includes tuition fees, admission fees, value course fees etc. Scholarships are available for students who score a rank in the top 3 with a cash reward of 15000 Rs (rank 1), 10000 Rs (rank 2) and 5000 Rs (rank 3).

The infrastructure of DME is quite elegant and important for the practical exposure of the students to prepare them for the real industry. We have library, amphitheatre, studio, seminar hall, moot court, flip classroom, auditorium. The quality of food in our hostel is quite decent and tasty. The canteen offers a variety of food. The medical facilities are excellent in DME. We also have an indoor sports room which offers table tennis, carrom, major board games. DME also offers a variety of events and fests which includes diwali fest, our annual cultural fest ALOHA, our department fest MEDIA FEST - VRITIKA and much more. The first three toppers gets offered with scholarship and medal.

I applied to various other colleges both inside the state and outside the state however DME being a semi government institute and being the nearest one to my place of residence was the best option for me. The admission process was very simple and direct not too high cutoffs and easy documentation. My admission experience was very simple.

There is a minimal amount of faculty but good enough. I like Ms Divya Rastogi and the Head of the Department Ms Parul Mehra for being so approachable and helping us at every step. All the teachers are really helpful in clearing doubts and providing self made notes. The teaching quality is top notch with clear explanations. The curriculum is very relevant to prepare the students for the industry. The semester exams are held every month and final externals at the end of semester, they are mediocre level difficulty with 40% pass percentage. Most of the students pass the exams.

personally our favourite hangout spots around the campus are the amphitheatre and the little food stalls outside with alot of delicious food and drinks. The library is also a good spot for those who like privacy and silence. All kinds of books are available there
