Remarks

ASCO KOLKATA takes admission of students of different merit levels with a scholarship feature. no such criteria like minimum marks or age had been put forward to the best of my knowledge, also the procedure of admission includes the submission of an admission form provided by them and the selected candidate is contacted thereafter and after these procedures, one needs to pay in the admission fees to book in their slot in amity university and no such provisions for counselling were done in the college.

Course Curriculum Overview

3

Journalism had always been a area of liking which led to my selection in the course. The faculty to student ratiio is also commendable as there are more or less 30 students for a teacher. The faculty although are highly qualified in their field of specialisation but the teaching method being undertaken by a few aren't quite up to the mark. The exams are held twice each sem with the end sem being in the MCQ format and also over online platform, making the chance to pass quite liquid.

Internships Opportunities

3

The university promises to provide internship to every students before their graduation and they also provides them to all students. Not all get in hands a paid internship and only a few are able to bag it and the various media houses like ndtv, aaj tak, abp news and the local news companies are amongst the top hirers.

Placement Experience

2.5

As being admitted during the time of pandemics, huge spikes in placements isn't visible although the college ensures 100 percent placement but i think its a hoax. The students performing average like about 6.5 cgpa are entitled to sit for the placement and media houses like ndtv, aaj tak are the companies to come as of my plan i intend to complete higher studies before sitting for a placement.

Fees and Financial Aid

The cost of studying at such a private university is always on a higher note compared to studying in other universities but the fees hike doesn't spike to a great extent considering the base fees. the college provided free education to all who lost a parent in covid 19 and also it provides a scholarship on admission based on the board's marks and the toppers of each class are entitled to a scholarship.

Campus Life

4.5

the campus facilities of amity are among the best in the nation with all top notch modern amenities like restaurants and cafes on campus the library is also huge and all students are provided with thousands of e journals besides providing free wifi to all students. The classrooms are loaded with smart class features and the campus is also fully air conditioned. amity is famous for its bunch of activities taking place over the years like AMIPHORIA, the biggest of all fest that takes place in March. amity is also famous for its sports event, the Sangathan, which is an intra amity sports competition.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I feel the theory part of our curriculum isn't much relevant or prepares for real - world applications, only some basic information is what I feel is necessary, although the lab and the practical part prepares us for real - world applications and teaches us a lot of things related to photography, news paper page building, survey report, etc. I believe they should have a better approach and teach more relevant real - world or in demand market skills which'll help the students in the future. Exams are conducted 2 times in a year, once between March - april, and second time between August - September.

Course Curriculum Overview:

From my childhood, I'm into music and this course allows me to further widen my knowledge of the entertainment industry, films, Television and etc. So this course will allow me to understand how media and journalism world works, and help me pursue the art that I love. The timings could be better of the college, but rather than that everything is mostly good. The frequency in my opinion, should be reduced to 3 main semester exams, and to have small mid semester exams throughout. That's my perspective.

I want to be a journalist from younger age. That's why I choose the subject. And the Journalism department is very prestigious in whole South Kolkata. They will help you learn the outer knowledge also. Practical classes are very helpful. The exam held after 4/5 months. This time helps to cover the syllabus and practical classes helps a lot

Course Curriculum Overview:

1. I opted for this course because I thought it would have a good practical work, with good exposure and experience. But this course has nothing as such. The documentary we did was done all by ourselves. College did not help at all. There was a photo journalsm option in one paper but our college did not let us study that. They did not teach anything about photography, no practical training was given. 2. None. The curriculum doesn't prepare us for the real world at all. There is no professional study or activities. No preparation for interviews or real world jobs. Only theoretical and advices from our faculty. College doesn't provide any activity that can help us for the real world job. 3. More and more practical work with the help of college. More exposure needed. High quality software and equipments are needed. Students need a GOOD professional lab. More exciting activities for students. Placement opportunities, internships etc. 4. BAD. Per sem arrives in 2.5 months, too short time

Course Curriculum Overview:

Journalism is one of my favorite sudject . One of the reasons for choosing this subject is that only a journalist can highlight the good and bad aspects of our society before the people. The scope of the subject is journalism but it is huge. We can learn not only journalism but also photography, radio, film studies etc. The behaviors of all the professors in the journalism department in this college is very well. They very carefully explain all the topics thoroughly to the students so that the students do not have to face any difficulty with those topics later. Every year two semesters are taken every six months if the students do all the classes carefully and study well then they can easily pass by getting good marks
