Course Curriculum Overview
I would rate the course highly in terms of curriculum and comprehensiveness. One of the most important factors that influenced me to choose this course over others was its strong focus on Practical journalism. Unlike purely academic programs, the curriculum was designed to provide us with live learing, exposure to newsroom, reporting techniques, content creation and media ethics. This course at RSJ prepares us well for the real world expectation from acareer in media, because, for the entirety of this course, we've been taught how the newsroom and digital floors funcation and what all goes behind buidling a show from scratch.
Fees and Financial Aid
The total fee for PG-DIPLOMA IN JOURNALISM, FROM REPUBLIC SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM is 6,00,00 INR, which i have paid for the entire course. I am pleased to inform that it remained stable and there has been no increase in the course fee during my batch. I believe for the course they are offering, the fee is quite reasonable especially when compared to quality of education.
Campus Life
The Infrastructure of REPUBLIC MEDIA NETWORK is unmatch in India. It's Asia's largest news complex and the campus life is beautiful and interactive. We would often engage with employees, industry experts and get one-on-one learing experience while being on campus. For socialising, there is a cafe with great food and cleaniness.
Admission
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.
Faculty
The faculty to student ration in RSJ was conducive to personalised learning and meaningful classroom interactions. Faculty members were approachable, supportive and readily available to the academic doubts and career guidance. Classes at Republic school of journalism were not the typical kind. The Newsroom was our classroom and the fast paced - breaking news environment really added to the experience. Practical insights, emphasis on real world examples and assignments on the current news story really helped us understand the true nature of our career in journalism. Exams or Assessments as we call it here at RSJ, was not theoratical rather practical. we were asked to report on real life issues, document the news from ground zero and in exceptional cases we were also sent to the sites (example- during Delhi LAL QUILA BOMB ATTACK ) to cover. overall, the academic environment was industry-oriented and provided us students with professional opportunities in media and journalism
Interview Experience
We had to give one Written test on General Awareness and it was followed by a one on one interview (online mode) in which the top editors were the ones interviewing. The interview process was comprehensive and engaging.
Night Life
Republic Media netwrok HQ provides with gym and cafeteria. There are ample accomodation opportunities in the vicinity- PGs and Flats are readily available within 15 minutes from the campus. As students, Cab services were also provided to us for our easy and comfortable commute. Security is one aspect that the campus really focuses on.
Other Applied Colleges
