The Indian Institute of Mass Communication, Delhi, has been offering journalism courses in regional languages for many years
Vijay Sheel Nayakar, a student at the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), is yet to receive his diploma for completing his nine-month-long advertising and public relations (AD & PR) course, but he already has a job offer from the Ministry of AYUSH. Nayakar, however, wishes to work with the India today Group, but can't apply to other companies till his batchmates have been placed. Till now, the Delhi institute has achieved 85 per cent placement.
That’s the kind of support an IIMC student can enjoy. The institute is the most-sought-after among aspiring media students. Nayakar, though a student of advertising, can hope to join a news group because students here receive 360-degree training. “Our students acquire skillsets to work across media platforms—print, radio, TV and digital. They are trained to handle any aspect of mass communication,” says Professor Gita Bamezai, who is Dean (academics) and head of the Communication Research department. Last year, IIMC pass-outs were offered an average annual salary of Rs 13 lakh.
The duration of the course, however, is likely to change soon as the ministry of human resource development has issued a letter of intent to declare IIMC a deemed university, which will enable it to grant degrees instead of just diplomas. Currently, IIMC functions under the ministry of information and broadcasting.
