A journey worth sharing

The course is all fit for you to become a professional only when you are interested in it. If you want to step into the field and explore your talent- they teach you camera handling, radio scripts, corporate communication knowledge, health communication, human rights, journalism, movie making, advertising, etc. And not just the practical aspect but this course at AMU offers you academic aspect too. They offer good research work in this course where students can further apply for Ph.D. in their desired field.

no internship and placement from the college side. no, I haven't availed any internship during my college time.

No events as such are celebrated at the department but the university celebrates many events throughout the year at Kennedy auditorium. the list is too long and events to change year by year including AMU drama club, concerts, movie projection, alumni meet, convocation, etc.

the course is covered within rs.20,000 (maximum). not more than this. first-year fees are almost around 8,500rs. Which reduces to 6,000 (approx) in the second year. this amount is not too much for a mass communication student acquiring a degree from a central university.

I opted for a scholarship. I was selected among the top 5 students in the class, by the teaching faculty on the basis of the performance in the class. I was awarded 20,000 rs per year, which totaled to 40,000 in two years.

the gender ratio was almost equal. we were a total of 30 students in class in which around 14 were female students. The extracurricular activities were in the form of assignments that were assigned to us. they were 9/10 on the learning basis. teachers too are indulged in extra activities taking place in the department and help out students to be a part of the same.

I got admission to The Department of Mass Communication at Aligarh Muslim University through an entrance test. Every year Aligarh Muslim University publishes its guide to admission in the month of February for the students seeking admission to the University. This guide contains every important detail such as- courses offered, fees of the course, fees of the entrance exam, mode of the entrance exam, entrance exam date, etc. The process of admission starts with:- Students filling the online form and submitting the fees at the same time. The entrance exam contains only current affairs which are divided into two categories- Subjective(60%) and Objective(40%) type. The test is conducted in the month of may and results are uploaded by the end of June on the website. Uploaded list contains the final list of students (who are selected for admission) and a chance memo list or waiting list (who all can apply for the admission if seats are vacant). My waiting was 12th on the list. I got my admission to the course on the 8th of August, 2017. The admission process in the university is long and tiring. The process starts right from the morning and ends up at 5 in the evening ( Exactly when banks get closed). The process enrolls a student to the course, submission of important documents for the authentication of student’s educational background, submission of fees, allotment of students faculty number, etc.

they are lenient and friendly. always ready to help you out if you need any sort of help. both, the teaching and non-teaching staff of the faculty are helping and friendly. they help students to organize and explore in different fields with their experience and knowledge.
