Colleges of Journalism In Indiachillibreeze writerRitusmita Biswas

In the late 1960s, when Vinay Som took up a job at the Anandabazar Patrika, his longtime fiancé Radhika refused to marry him. The reason she gave was: “My father will never agree to this match as he believes that those who have nothing else in life to do become writers or journalists!”

Year 2004: Shravani Mishra, an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad plans to take up writing has her full time career as “With the phenomenal growth in media it’s the most happening career right now!!”

The rapid expansion of media in the last two decades has not only changed the perception of the people towards journalism as a career but has also increased the demand for competent media persons, well versed in latest communication technologies. This in turn has given rise to several schools for wannabe journalists across the country. Some might believe that the power of pen is something inherent that cannot be taught but has to be developed with years of continuous and meticulous practice. Yet this new age Journalism Schools [popularly known as J Schools] promise to teach the “craft of journalism” with a span of 10 months to two years.

However, the J school aspirants are facing a problem quite similar to the one B school aspirants faced back in the early nineties: How to select a quality institution? Moreover unlike B Schools, there is no official survey done on J Schools that would make it easy for an aspirant to choose his or her college. Nonetheless certain factors could help one to make his/her choice.

The first thing that a student should consider is placement. High placement figures substantiate the fact that the training imparted at the College is held in high esteem in the industry. In this respect, colleges that have been around for sometime like the IIMC, Asian College of Journalism, Jamia Milia Islamia, and Symbiosis do have an edge over the others.

Infrastructure or facilities is the second factor to take into consideration. One should definitely check out if the institute has a proper computer lab with facilities for photography, video editing and producing lab journals. The other factors that should guide one in deciding his/her college are faculty, class strength, tie up with other media houses and practical exposure given during the course.

Although journalism is basically a craft, there is an academic side to it. Journalistic skills can be learned on the job. But, an academic foundation may never be acquired at a later stage. A journalism student should do a lot of reading and hence one must check out if the institute has a good library.

With the following criteria in mind the following list of the “10 best journalism colleges in India” have been compiled. [In alphabetical order]
