CMS-JU review

The campus is small and the canteen is almost non existent, but that should not stop I've from being a part of this lovely place.

The syllabus is updated every semester. We study what the industry currently demands and work on real time projects to do the same. Eg. A 360° news bulletin. We have a 70 marks theory paper for each subject with 30marks internals. Attendance of 75% in each subject is compulsory. I got placed in NEWS 9 and there are a lot of placement opportunities for people.

There are a lot of companies that come for placements but the placement department somehow turns a blind eye towards my department and focuses on BBA. No placement training is provided and they expect you to do a compulsory internship in the second and first year. I interned with this organisation called Inspiron for 2 months and now got placed in news 9 as an assistant producer

We have a freshers day, an international management day, model United Nations conferences, media conferences for research paper presentation, Thoureshold: the management fest, Melange: the media fest, Lasya: the cultural fest, Precipice: the international management fest, Yuva ignited minds: the college NGO, Verve: the intra college cultural fest, Lumiere: the intra college media fest, Protege: the intra college management fest, confluence: the English club, Collossium: the English literature fest, sports day, CMS cup, achievers' day, graduation day, convocation, ethnic day, children's day, onam celebrations, student exchange program with HMKW University, Germany, and an international visit for the top 75 students of the final years.

The fees structure is a little above feasible but it's not very expensive either. They charge around 1.5lac a year for a BA professional course which is worth it, unlike the BBA degree, for which they charge almost 2lac a year. But considering the kind of exposure they provide and the way the studio and the labs are maintained, it's worth it.

Although I haven't applied for scholarship, the college does provide it for students who excel in either their fields of expertise or in studies.

Although the campus isn't huge, the campus Life is Just too good. The people, the teachers and the management are all very cooperative. There are various teams that one can be a part of. Starting from the cms mun team, the cultural fest team, the management fest team, yuva ignited minds team, the confluence team, the media fest team, sports teams, hospitality and logistics team, sponsorship team, toastmasters International, which is a value added program as well and much more. The college has a very well equipped studio, library and computer labs.

No. I am a localitie. The hostels are very well kept. They have several hostels across the city and the students are free to choose their hostel. There are about 6 hostels in the city and they come under the campus students committee (CSC). I'm not quite sure about the fee structure for the hostels

Everyone is cooperative. Alumni are always available to provide guidance with regards to all our work in college.

It's the only reputed college to provide a professional degree in journalism and mass communication. I applied for CMS in April 2017 and wrote the JET (Jain entrance test), which was followed by an interview. I opted for this course because I wanted to get into hardcore media production.

We have only 2 sections per batch and thus the faculty of my department is 10 teachers, who are totally able and very highly skilled individuals who know the industry trends to impart the same to us. I participated in a few certification courses like monetising a blog and film making. It's an ocean of opportunities.
