Currently, the field of journalism is experiencing a shift towards digital platforms such as the internet, mobile devices, data journalism and other emerging technologies. This change is leading to a transformation in how journalism is practiced and necessitating the development of new skills, techniques, and approaches by practitioners. As a result, contemporary journalists must fulfill a variety of roles, requiring not only a solid grasp of emerging social trends but also specialized expertise and knowledge. By enrolling in this programme, aspiring digital journalists will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges associated with journalism in the Digital Age, which will prepare them to succeed in the rapidly-evolving media industry. During the first and second semesters, the focus is on helping students understand the role of Journalism within the broader context of social sciences such as political science, economics, and sociology. 
They will receive training in writing and develop their skills in reporting and editing to be successful in the field of written communication. In the third semester students are introduced to the nuances of the constitution and politics. Special emphasis is given in the fourth semester to the field of multimedia production, on-field experience and also the first hand understanding of social issues through service learning. The third year provides the budding journalist with the knowledge of digital journalism, media research and so on. In the final year, students will expose themselves to media psychology, solutions journalism and environmental journalism along with independent research projects.

Practical elements such as lab journals, workshops, seminars, campaigns, or news productions are incorporated to support each paper. Additionally, students will be required to gain skills in editing software. The Journalism & Digital Media programme includes sixteen core papers that cover a diverse range of topics in the field of journalism. There are skill enhancement courses related to writing and reporting. Starting from the sixth semester, students will have the opportunity to choose three electives to specialize in. In order to gain practical experience, an internship is mandatory for students at the end of the second semester. The theory courses aim to provide students with a broad understanding of the field, while the practical and skill-based courses will equip them for the job. Having a comprehensive knowledge of various subjects helps journalists gain perspective and write intelligently in the proper context for the general readership. The Department of Media Studies will leverage the expertise of professionals from different fields to provide students with the best possible exposure. Experienced journalists will also be invited to participate in events like “Feel the Beat” to 
share their knowledge and expertise. Students of journalism will be expected to regularly produce lab journals and from the fourth semester onwards, they will be responsible for creating a newspaper, television news bulletin, and digital publication.

As a result, contemporary journalists must fulfill a variety of roles, requiring not only a solid grasp of emerging social trends but also specialized expertise and knowledge. By enrolling in this programme, aspiring digital journalists will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges associated with journalism in the Digital Age, which will prepare them to succeed in the rapidly-evolving media industry. During the first and second semesters, the focus is on helping students understand the role of Journalism within the broader context of social sciences such as political science, economics, and sociology. 
They will receive training in writing and develop their skills in reporting and editing to be successful in the field of written communication. In the third semester students are introduced to the nuances of the constitution and politics. Special emphasis is given in the fourth semester to the field of multimedia production, on-field experience and also the first hand understanding of social issues through service learning. The third year provides the budding journalist with the knowledge of digital journalism, media research and so on. In the final year, students will expose themselves to media psychology, solutions journalism and environmental journalism along with independent research projects.

Practical elements such as lab journals, workshops, seminars, campaigns, or news productions are incorporated to support each paper. Additionally, students will be required to gain skills in editing software. The Journalism & Digital Media programme includes sixteen core papers that cover a diverse range of topics in the field of journalism. There are skill enhancement courses related to writing and reporting. Starting from the sixth semester, students will have the opportunity to choose three electives to specialize in. In order to gain practical experience, an internship is mandatory for students at the end of the second semester. The theory courses aim to provide students with a broad understanding of the field, while the practical and skill-based courses will equip them for the job. Having a comprehensive knowledge of various subjects helps journalists gain perspective and write intelligently in the proper context for the general readership. The Department of Media Studies will leverage the expertise of professionals from different fields to provide students with the best possible exposure. Experienced journalists will also be invited to participate in events like “Feel the Beat” to
