All our postgraduate programmes require you to be a graduate. Three-year diplomas will be considered. A minimum of 15 years of schooling (1st standard through college) is required for admission.
Incomplete graduation: If you are in the final year of undergraduate study, you may apply. Submit copies of previous mark sheets. Copies of final marksheets and passing certificate must be submitted as soon as results will be announced.
All academic backlogs must be clear by the time you join, and your admission will remain conditional at your risk. If you obtain a backlog or otherwise fail to graduate, you must leave the institute and reapply after successful completion of your graduation. We will adjust your fees towards readmission, and admission is guaranteed on the basis of the previous admission process. Should you prefer to withdraw your admission, refund will only be on the basis of our Refund Policy. Refer to Fees and refunds page for the policy.
Course Details
Two-Year, Full-Time Postgraduate Diploma in Mass Communication (Journalism)
Journalism: While print, digital and broadcast media are covered, it is our belief that a journalist is one by thinking, and therefore it is important for each trainee to learn tools and techniques of all the three platforms.
Structure: The most comprehensive of all our programmes, this is structured and formatted to suit graduates who need orientation to communication and media and then go on to an advanced level of learning and enter our media and communication industries. With three semesters of in-class, lab, studio/field learning, this programme is both rigorous as well as paced strategically to let you learn and contribute.
Academic Approach: The two-year programme comprehensively grounds you in concepts and prepares you for a rewarding career in communication practice or research. Our endeavour will be to prepare you to be independent thinkers and self-starting professionals in the demanding and exciting world of the media and allied industries.
Academic input: Research-based projects, independent work, internships, practical and field work—often self-inspired and approved by us, and sometimes in far-flung areas—will form the crux of your academic plan at ITMI.
Internship and placement: Arguably the biggest differentiator between a trainee and a professional is industry interface, and the most time you will spend in the industry while still a trainee is at your internship. You will have three internships, in different settings.
