IIMC Delhi Gallery

The main fest is called Connections, which brings alumni together for one day at the IIMC, New Delhi campus. It happens in mid-April. IIMC has the biggest media library in India, plus every day new books are added. Apna Radio 96.9 FM is operated in IIMC, which provides opportunities for students to try their vocal chords.

As far as annual fests and other cultural fests are concerned, IIMC had several fests and events. We celebrated Hindi Diwas, IIMC Alumni Meet and the Annual Day function of the institute. There are updated and versed volumes of books, journals and magazines in the library, along with high-speed internet. The classrooms are all digital, with projector screens, speakers and microphones. There are a lot of co-curricular activities on the campus, such as table tennis, badminton court, tennis court and more. I was a part of the Film Club on campus, and we used to watch one film every Saturday in the auditorium, followed by a discussion on the film itself.

For a government institution, the campus was unbelievably clean.- The library was loaded with different kinds of insightful reading material from the whole spectrum of the media and communication industry.- Wi-Fi service was quite dependable and rapid. - Overall, the campus was an 8 on 10, the canteen and hostel facilities could have been better. However, the IIMC campus has a serene and simplistic aura that proffers an irresistible charm.

It has an healthy gender ratio, coming to 50:50 males and females of all economic stratum, language and culture from different parts of the country. There are regular workshops, cultural activities, study tours and hands-on journalistic experience through internships with reputed brands and visit of guest faculty members regularly.

The extracurricular activities are uncountable over here in this institute which includes both the intercollege as well as intercollege events. There are three labs which are maintained properly by the responsible staff.

The campus life is good and we got a lot of corporate exposure. The college campus is surrounded by lush greenery. The infrastructure is good and enabled with digital technologies. The labs have full-fledged tools necessary for a journalism course. The social life is also good. We got to meet different people from different academic and cultural backgrounds.

The gender ratio is about 60 percent boys and 40 percent girls but varies with each batch. The students and staff organize regular events, seminars and workshops. The staff is always open to ideas. Students have a lot of fun in their free time and have lot of parties. Almost every evening, after class we used to go for a stroll in the beautiful JNU campus. The campus life was great but has been plagues by a few political issues in the past two years. However, these should be sorted soon. There is great student diversity with students from all over the country and no discrimination. The staff and students are socially conscious and aware, don't judge and respect differences of opinions.

For a post graduate course, the campus life was quiet easy, the classes were held from 10am till about 430pm. Debates were a part of curriculum, this was frequently organised. Since there was a limited number of students, the scope for events like cultural societies etc was limited.

The gender ratio is fairly good. There is a good balance. So is the case with diversity. However the college does not provide with ample interaction opportunities with other courses, students from one course are restricted to that particular course unless they live in the hostel. Extracurriculars are non existent in this college, a film society is in place but the events however much the students try to organise on a large scale never materialised because of maladministration.
