Remarks

I was familiar with BBDU being Lucknow's no. 1 private University and since I wanted to do my bachelor's in journalism in Lucknow, I decided to opt for this university. The minimum requirement was 50% marks in 12th.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

My faculties have been good since the time I joined college and till now they're ready to support me in any way possible. My department is doing quite well as of now in comparison to other colleges in Lucknow that provide journalism courses.

Placement Experience

3.5

In the final semester, the students are eligible for placement. There have been companies like zee news but they were not just made for journalism students and were available for everyone. Placement for the department was of that of Phronesis Partners, Noida which had a virtual drive due to the pandemic, and only 2 students were selected. I was one of the two.

Fees and Financial Aid

I was awarded a scholarship in my 2nd year when I ranked 2nd in my batch. I couldn't get more than 17k as my rank was equally shared with one of my classmates but the 1st rank holder got a scholarship for an entire semester, in fact one can easily pay the security money as well. There is no fee hike policy.

Campus Life

3.5

I've also been a Media Head at NSS BBDU so campus life has been quite good. An annual fest like Utkarsh provides a lot more opportunities for students of all areas to upscale themselves. Tbh I haven't used the library but you'll have all kinds of newspapers to read there every day.

Hostel Facilities

3

I've been in a hostel for half of my studies. The reason was both good and bad. Good because of the 4-time food and the environment and bad because when the lockdown happened there was a lot of chaos regarding fees and even I left I had to pay a month's extra fees of approximately 8k INR.

Other Applied Colleges

Placement Experience:

80% students are placed through DME with a package of 5 LPA to 7 LPA on an average which is quite decent for a fresher entering the industry. The top recruiting are for placements are Bharat Express, PR Guru, Amar Ujala, Dynamite News, T.H.E.M.E.S. Over 90% of the students were placed for internship in Amar Ujala, PR Guru, Aaj Tak, ABP News and Doordarshan.

Placement Experience:

Placements of our colleges and mediocre. From 6th semester students become elegible for campus placement. The highest package offered was 6LPA and the average package is 3-4 LPA. Placement depends upon the students applying for placement through college. Many students gets internships or jobs by themselves before even reaching placement cell.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course itself was nothing out of the ordinary material, it teaches you the basics of the field but the faculties were pretty good and helped us understand not just the basic but a little more so that we could actually be able to work in the environment once we get there. Also they organise workshops which was mandatory for all the students without any extra charge to learn from professional what to do and how to do it best. We also used to get projects which actually helped alot in learning with practice the theory.
