Remarks :
There was no such entrance exam for admission in Journalism and Mass communication and I got admission on the very day of my visit. I really liked the college when I went there and the faculty seemed so friendly. There was a small counseling types session with the director and HOD, where they shared the details of the program and asked me a few questions. After that, the studio is quite good, though we didn't get it in our 1st semester for the rest of the time It was very useful. Personally, I loved the experience in VIFT and learned a lot. Rather than on just theory, we did practical training,
Course Curriculum Overview :
I chose this course as I wanted to pursue journalism as my career. Before taking admission, I had no idea what vast options this course had for me. I got to learn various aspects of journalism and mass communication with daily enjoyments and fun practicals. In my batch, there were 18 students and 4 faculties in BJMC, which makes a ratio of about 1:5. They all had experience in their fields and at least master's degrees. Though their teaching method was just like others, i.e. through PPTs and assignments, they solved students' queries. We had 2 internals in the semester and 1 external examination and had 4 theoretical subjects in each semester with 1 practical viva. The exams were easy and were never out of the course through Journalism can always surprise you.
Internships Opportunities :
There were no internships as such provided by the college, though they sent us to a few they were not worth it as per my batch mates. As I was not able to join those few interviews. And we didn't get any placement in ur final year as no interviews were conducted nor did they call any company.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
The fee structure was simple, you have to pay an amount at the beginning of the admission which will be added to the annual fees. The student has to pay a half-yearly fee before the last date of fee submission. Some students divided their annual fees into quarters and some in half-years. There were no such scholarships but had some fee concession in the first year according to the percentage of the 12th class. Then there were scholarships for Jains and low-income groups. After 1st year there was a hike in our transport fees, which was very random and high.
Campus Life :
The social life in VIFT is great, you get to make connections with students of different streams as Vidya knowledge park is offering numerous courses. There are some clubs like Spectra, newspaper club, Photography club, etc. which you can enjoy every weekend. During the annual fest of college, "Nirvana" there are tonnes of performances and events in which all the students are free to take part. There is a selection round and weeks of practice. On the final day of the fest, all the students are invited to the Star night, where a singer is welcomed to sing till 10 pm. Classrooms are basic and have no such high-fi things but a smartboard. We have an annual sports competition among all the branches and at VISA, one can join any sports under a supervisor.
