What Students Say

Likes

My overall experience at RSJ was positive. The course focused on practical journalism, newsroom exposure, reporting, anchoring and content planning & production.
Faculty members were supportive and directly conducted sessions & shared their industry knowledge.

Dislikes

The curriculum was aligned with current media requirement, though more workshops and field assignments could further improve the learning.
The gender ratio was fairly balanced with a slight majority of female students.

Course Curriculum Overview

The curriculum at RSJ was practical and industry oriented. The course focused on hands on newsroom experience and understanding the complete life cycle of a news story. The course offfered exposure to newsroom operations, reporting techniques, news writing & content production.

Class Size: 12Course Fees: INR 600000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The total fee for my diploma at republic school of journalism was ? 6 lakh for the entire course. The fee included tuition, training, workshops & practical sessions along with an additional registration fee while applying for the course. Considering the industry exposure and practical learning provided, the course offers good value for aspiring journalists.

Campus Life

My overall experience with the campus life at RSJ was positive. The infrastructure was one of the strongest aspects of the media house, with well equipped stuidos & production rooms. The campus also has a gym & cafeteria, making it comfortable for the students. Since it is a professional media house and not an college setup the focus was more on industry skills rather than college festivals, club activities or sports & extracurriculars.

Admission

I chose RSJ because of its focus of practical journalism, direct newsroom exposure and learning. Compared to many other media colleges that focus on theory. This course provided hands on exposure to news writing and production. Another factor was because of its placement support. The admission process was smooth.

Faculty

The faculty members at RSJ were senior editors themselves of the republic tv, who all are very knowledgeable, supportive and approachable throughout the course. Regular assignments, practical excercises were used to evaluate performance & the examination system was not overally difficult and mostly tested understanding & application of journalism skills.

Night Life

Republic being a professional media house, night life at campus is limited. Students can unwind at campus cafe, gym after classes any time. The infrastructure is good as well so there are many comfortable spaces for students to interact and learn at.

The class composition was excellent and brought together a diverse group of students with different perspectives and experiences. While there were significantly more female students than male students—the ratio was approximately 9 girls to 3 boys—the learning environment remained engaging and collaborative. The varied viewpoints and insightful contributions from classmates made discussions interesting and enriched the overall learning experience.
What was taught throughout the course was truly exceptional. The faculty consistently challenged us to perform at a level that often exceeded the expectations of a typical newsroom environment. Their high standards pushed us to continuously improve our skills, think critically, and strive for excellence. As students, we embraced those challenges and worked hard to make the most of every opportunity and learning experience available to us. The demanding yet rewarding environment played a significant role in our professional growth and preparation for the journalism industry.
What made the experience even more impressive was the faculty itself. The people teaching us were one of the program's greatest strengths. We had the privilege of learning from respected professionals such as Niranjan Sir, Shawan Sir, Abhishek Sir, and Arnab Sir. It was remarkable to be taught by individuals with such extensive industry experience and expertise. Their guidance, insights, and real-world perspectives added immense value to the course and helped bridge the gap between classroom learning and the realities of the journalism industry.

Dislikes

The class had a noticeable gender imbalance, with significantly more female students than male students. At times, this contributed to the formation of smaller groups and made the class feel somewhat fragmented. However, I do not believe this was intentional on the institution's part. Despite these challenges, the diverse perspectives within the class often led to interesting discussions and learning opportunities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Well, it's highly relevant if you want to become a journalist. No other news channel gives you opportunities to work on projects like these. I firmly believe that sometimes you need to push people to help them perform at their best. As for suggestions, I would recommend that the Dean be a little more open to criticism. Doing so would help build a stronger and more effective team over time. I would also suggest not rushing through the course content, as allowing more time for learning and practical application would greatly benefit the students.

Likes

Faculties behaviour was good towards students
Air conditioning in classrooms is good so in summer it is very comfortable to sit in classroom
College is near metro station so easy commute

Dislikes

No campus area this is just a building and a car parking
They have film making courses but no equipments so I advise people to get admission after enquiring everything
No internship for film students but for mass media there is some internship for toppers

Course Curriculum Overview:

In film they have more of a practical approach and it is justifieable because film is 80% practical and 20% theory so there teaching methods are admirable because even with no good equipments they managed to teach us some good camera and lighting techniques. In terms of exam difficulty, it is pretty mediocre which is because of film is more of a practice than theory.

RSJ- Learning Journalism with Experience.

I, personally, did not apply to alot of colleges..only here at RSJ and one more - at Amity university noida (as a backup option). RSJ was always my priority in terms of enrollment. The addmission process, however intentive, was engaging too. A general Awareness test followed by a one on one interiview. Top Editors were the ones interviewing us so that also shows how importantly REPUBLIC as an organization, treated RSJ. As far as eligibility is concerned, Graduates from any field can apply, who want to pursue a career in media....Read More
