RBU Kolkata: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 3 Reviews

The admission process for this course includes a written entrance exam on aptitude, current affairs, essays, and subject knowledge, followed by an interview for those who pass. Selection is based on interview performance and merit list. The faculty is experienced, but there's a need for more teachers, especially in technical areas. The university is government-funded, making the M.A. Journalism and Mass Communication course affordable at about 30,000, with additional government concessions available.

However, the department does not provide or guarantee placements or internships, focusing more on theoretical knowledge than practical exposure. While media companies occasionally offer opportunities, the department merely forwards them without active placement facilitation. Government scholarships like Kanyashree and Swami Vivekananda are accessible for deserving students, supported by a dedicated university department, though the process can be lengthy. In 2019, the total course fee was around 20,000, covering semester fees and a small lab fee in the final year.

Some students may also benefit from other government schemes if eligible.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The syllabus is quite good, specially the syllabus of electronic media. But if it is compared with other institutions, it is quite backdated and will be of no use. No facility of internship. And no industrial exposure. Syllabus is mostly theory based which is good for cracking NET, but is of no use in real world. Specialization paper in the syllabus has 4 options. Which are: 1. Cultural Communication 2. Development Communication 3. International Relations 4. Sports Journalism But sadly they can only provide cultural and development communication. In 4th Semester for the OEC paper, the syllabus has two options. That is Media Law and Media Management. But they can only provide Media Law. Teaching faculty strength is very low. Only two permanent teachers are there and 7-8 guest lecturers. The assistant professors are very rude and moody. They are always in unapproachable zone. Such behavior from professors are not expected at all. Current (2020) HOD hardly care about students. He hardly listen to students. He behaves very rude. He is a very busy man, who hardly takes classes. Another assistant professor is very punctual, but a bit rude, yet helpful when approached correctly. But the current (Year 2020) HOD is worst of a kind. The person is too indifferent to handle. Some says the person has a nature of marking students, basically the person holds a vindictive nature. The HOD does not take any responsibility of students if they are facing any problem. The person just walks away. Guest lecturers are very friendly and helpful. Students are supposed to maintain 75% attendance. The teaching style is not upgraded, it is boring. Some faculties do not cover syllabus. If there some practical works that need practice, they just explain that orally. But some teachers do teach very well and help students.

Fees and Financial Aid:

Government scholarships are available for meritorious students. Kanyashree, Swami Vivekananda Scholarship are to name a few. The university has a separate department to assist regarding this. Many students get benefited from this. Though the process is a bit long and complicated to some extent, still many students gets help from this.
