A college crafts your personality

We always wonder about the role of college in our life. Is college only responsible for your studies and your job? I would say no. The responsibility of college is also to enhance one's personality. When we enroll in a college, we are only a 12th pass student but when we pass out from a college after 2, 3, or 4 years there is a tag of 'professional' on us. So, the selection of college is very much important for you. You can never erase the name of the college from your degree, diploma or marksheets. In this blog, I will be telling you some key points on which you can select a media college.

·         Search for the best media school. Google can help you in searching for a college. Even you can ask your seniors or relative who are already in this field. They can also assist you better as they must have some experience of the media colleges.

·         Shortlist some best media college. Make a list and plan to give a visit to these colleges. Visiting a college will give you a different perspective to think about. If you will talk only on calls, some private colleges can misguide you too. There are some colleges who don't misguide you but I will suggest you give a visit to the colleges you have shortlisted.

·         While visiting colleges, Ask below-mentioned points the management.

 v  Infrastructure

v  Faculty

v  Practical Training

v  Placement Assistance

v  Alumni Base

v  Studio Visits

v  University Affiliation

v  Extra-Curricular Activities

v  Any Extra Fee

 

·         If you are wondering about the answer to these questions, so I want to tell you that these points have already been covered in previous blogs. But let us have a look at the answers in one-liners.

 There should be TP, News Studio, Computer Lab, Newsroom, etc., in the college. These are the basic infrastructure.

v  Faculties must be well-qualified and these must be some professional media person in the list of faculty of the college.

v  There must be practical wings of Anchoring, Reporting, Radio Jockeying, Acting, etc., in the college.

v  Placement Assistance will help you to get placed in some reputed newspaper, channel or radio station.

So always keep these points in mind while searching for any media college. Also, the college must be a government-approved media college. You can also consider IAAN School of Mass Communication while searching for the best online media college.

 

All the Best
