Maharshi Dayanand University’s Department of Journalism and Mass Communication (DJMC), under the leadership of Professor Rana, is undergoing a significant transformation. The focus is now firmly on equipping students with practical skills vital for success in the dynamic media landscape.
This renewed emphasis translates into a robust curriculum incorporating field-specific activities. Students will gain invaluable real-world experience through projects designed to mirror professional challenges.
The department is actively forging partnerships with leading media houses to secure placement opportunities for its graduates. This proactive approach ensures students are job-ready upon completion of their studies.
Further bolstering the practical training is a dedicated support system. Students will receive personalised guidance and mentorship to hone their skills and navigate the industry.
A series of workshops and guest lectures are planned. These sessions will illuminate the diverse applications of mass communication across various sectors, broadening students’ understanding of career pathways.
This initiative by the DJMC, under Professor Rana’s guidance, is a timely and crucial step. It directly addresses the growing need for skilled and experienced journalists in India’s rapidly evolving media ecosystem. The changes will undoubtedly equip students with the tools they need to thrive in a competitive job market.
