About Courses        

Students are exposed to rigorous practical training in various aspects of media, ranging from still photography, radio production, film making, news reading and reporting and Studio-based productions to print journalism. The institute is planning to soon set up its own TV channel, VOICE OF PEOPLE for exposing its students to the channel environment. We already have a fortnightly newspaper “FOCUS” and a production house, ITV, which have been extraordinarily providing an initial platform to students for recognition of their practical work.

As a welcome gesture, the institute also provides Personality Development classes to all its students for about two months in the beginning. This boosts the students’ confidence level and increases their power of expression by brushing up their language and widening their knowledge base.

All courses have been designed keeping in view the market demands. The courses give students abundant exposure in all aspects of journalism and mass communication.    

Short term courses focus on specific market needs. Course like Certificate in TV News Reading and Reporting, Non-Linear Editing, Video Camera give rigorous training to students in that particular field vis-à-vis giving them a feel of the whole media world.

During the course, each student would be involved in two productions. First 10 minute studio based (multi-camera setup) production and second, a 20-30 minute documentary, EFP, on digital format. The cost of these two productions will be nothing less than 3 to 4 lakh rupees per student. Ease your nerves! Because this cost will be incurred by nimc itself.
