Departmental Fests and Activities

The Department offers both Advertising and Journalism in the Third Year. The main focus is to help learners acquire written, oral and organisational skills—both as leaders and team members—that are effective and persuasive. We recognise that each is different and we celebrate this difference with gusto. As future opinion influencers, inculcation of moral and ethical values is non-negotiable. A problem-solving approach with hands-on learning is encouraged. Current case studies are used to understand media trends. Newspapers and media-related magazines are considered textbooks. Role plays, management games and group discussions supplement the teaching-learning process.

Keeping the above in mind, the following initiatives have been undertaken to help promote the objectives of the Programme of Mass communication and Media Studies.
