Entrance Preview :

ACJ entrance exam, i scored not too good in GK but my English paper went pretty satisfying and that is why my name got listed. I opted for this college because it ranks among top 10 J-schools in India.

Course Curriculum Overview :

I opted for New Media and was offered the same. My electives were Photo Journalism, Child Rights, Development Journalism. Also, we went for deprivation trip to cover news from a very deprived place. Also, we ha to do one investigative journalism.

Internships Opportunities :

There were no internship in between of the course as it was just a 10-month course. After the competition, we were offered placements and job opportunities. Almost everyone were placed.

Placement Experience :

Almost everyone were placed. Those who were not placed in the last months, faculties were kind enough to give some contacts or links to apply asnd so in a span of 2-3 months, everyone were placed. Companies like Network 18, SaddaHaq, Indian Express, Times Now came. They offered around atleast a package of 3 lakhs per annum.

College Events :

We were called to all major or minor events happening in Chennai and around in order to cover them. I participated in Beti Bachao Campaign, programme on Women empowerment in Hyatt, News in New Media, etc. We were given a farewell party in college campus and convocation were held at the Music Academy.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

I wanted to go for a loan facility, but banks don't provide loan for this college. So, no loans availability for this college and you have to manage on your own, Few got scholarship, but I don't have much idea upon it.

Campus Life :

Girls ratio is more than boys. Three floors were given to girls and one to boys. Campus life is good. There is wi-fi, a lush-green garden, TT and badminton court. Infrastructure is awesome and it seems you are not in India. It is too beautiful. Only a problem in hostel part is that boys can easily enter girls' one and vice versa.

You only ACJ once

Placement Experience:

Mostly all major mainstream media comes for the placement. Some of the big names like the Times group, The Hindu, Hindustan times, Zee and Network 18 group for Multimedia journalism and Bloomberg, Reuters, Busniess Today CNBC etc for Business journalism. The average package I have seen had 3.2 lack per annum. 100% placement is assured for every student who passed to course.

Campus life is very dynamic in our institute

Admission:

Any graduate can apply for the 2 years program. I applied online and the college contacted me back. It’s been my dream to become a director, that’s why wanted to go for the best institute in this field.

Placement Experience:

The placement process in our academy is very good. The backbone of such an excellent placement process is the extensive network of the alumni ruling different disciplines of the film industry. The alumni network helps recruits many students from our campus.
