Which one is better Amity School of Communication or Jindal School of Journalism and Mass Communication?

Amity School of Communication is an excellent choice when it comes to exposure and state of the art facilities. A better option than Jindal, in my opinion.

Bachelors in journalism and communication is a common thing here. IP University and Delhi University have been offering this course since decades, but they never cared to revise their course structure, and are literally offering modules, which are of no relevance in today's time. Print journalism is going to be obsolete in the coming few years, but these so called top notch Delhi colleges never took this into consideration, and their major area of concentration still remains features of news writing. If you are actually looking for a global exposure, you might look up for Jindal School of Journalism and Communication. A relative of mine is in the final semester of this course, and I envy the experience he has gained there. The dean of that school is Tom Goldestien who earlier used to be the head of Columbia School of Journalism. This man single handedly changed the manner in which a typical journalism school in India functions. Students can finish a semester abroad, go for summer schools in one of the finest journalism schools of the world, and can actually cherry pick the electives they wish to study. I was surprised to know that he was taught research methodology right from his second year of college, because I touched basics of research only when I began my Masters degree.

Delhi NCR has the most number of media houses, so mushrooming of colleges who offer bachelor's in journalism and communication is a common thing here. IP University and Delhi University have been offering this course since decades, but they never cared to revise their course structure, and are literally offering modules, which are of no relevance in today's time. Print journalism is going to be obsolete in the coming few years, but these so called top notch Delhi colleges never took this into consideration, and their major area of concentration still remains features of news writing. If you are actually looking for a global exposure, you might look up for Jindal School of Journalism and Communication.

I was surprised to know that he was taught research methodology right from his second year of college, because I touched basics of research only when I began my Masters degree. So, take a wise decision when you zero down on a college. List all the pros and cons, and see which institute will sharpen you to become a responsible journalist.

Jindal media School is a recent one, and more liberal arts approach with a theory focus, and very expensive. Amity media school is the largest media school of India, more practical, established more than 2 decades, and less expensive, but with too many students too. You can also try out Pearl Academy's very hands-on practical education, with a new media focus, futuristic and with internal tie-ups.

Hi Akshat, You have chosen a very wide field. Both are good but Amity is much better than Jindal School of Communication. Placements by Amity are said to be good. It has a good infrastructure.But at the same time, it has a high fee structure. Apart from Amity and Jindal school, you may seek other college or institute that offers the course at affordable fee. If you can manage than go ahead with Amity. Hope my suggestion will help you. All the best for your future. Thank you

ASCO has been in the circuit for a while now with proven placements, while Jindal is just starting off their programme. I can only compare and can't comment on which is better. The fees is round about the same at Rs. 2 lakhs per annum. Jindal only offers a BA (Hons.) Media and communication programme, while Amity offers a whole lot of courses in the mass communication sphere, including masters and PG Diplomas.
