    Delhi School of Journalism review.
    Placements: The college provides a supportive environment for internships. If we are skilled enough, placements are almost guaranteed. Recruiters come from a variety of media outlets, including Aaj Tak, NDTV, India TV, and others. The college also conducts regular seminars, webinars, and meetings to keep students up to date on current issues.
    Infrastructure: The Delhi School of Journalism is a good college with a well-maintained campus. It has a small library and cafeteria. The campus is well tiled and painted, and the classrooms are clean and well-equipped. The college has a DU domain university wifi, but no hostel. However, DU university is just behind the college campus, and we can use the Delhi University stadium for our use. The stadium is huge and has a lot of seating capacity.
    Faculty: The teachers here are very learned and qualified in their respective fields. They are very interactive in class and also very helpful in nature, not just with academics but also with personal issues. The teachers are selected after rigorous exams and interviews, so there is no question about their proficiency.
    Other: The Delhi School of Journalism offers two courses: a five-year integrated program in journalism (FYIPJ) and a master's degree in journalism. If you choose the FYIPJ, you can opt to leave after the third year and earn a bachelor's degree.

    Review on the college Delhi School of Journalism (DSJ).
    Placements: About 50 percent of last year's fifth-year students get placed. The average package in our college is ₹300,000. Top recruiting companies in our course are famous news channels like Aaj Tak, News18, TV9, India Today, and many more. Fifty percent of second-year students get internship programs.
    Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are not that good because my college opened in 2017. The college has a small library, and Wi-Fi connection is available. One studio is available in our college, and classrooms are up to the mark as AC is available in every classroom.
    Faculty: As per my knowledge, my teachers are highly qualified. They are very helpful in everything, whether it's about study, sports, or job opportunities. As per the new education policy followed by my college, it is compulsory for students to read seven subjects, and it is not that tough to pass the semester examination; 40 percent marks are the pass percentage.
    Other: My college is situated in North Campus, so you can enjoy as much as you can. You can attend any fest from any North Campus college. In our college, there are more than 10 societies that help to grow a student in a good manner. The reason for choosing this subject is that I want to serve the nation, and I think I am best for it. I hope I will become a journalist in the upcoming years.

    A DU college dedicated to Journalism.
    Placements: Placements rate is pretty good of the college as it offers almost 100% placements at very renowned organisations or media houses such as, TV9bharatvarsh, News18 India, ABP news, etc. The placements really depend up on your expertise and efforts and also depends up on your experience which you might get from doing a few internships during your college time.
    Infrastructure: The ambience and infrastructure of the college is very nice as it is the building of the University stadium and it provides all the facilities for the students pursuing this course of journalism. It is a five years integrated course, so you'll be enjoying the environment of the campus.
    Faculty: Faculty is good but they do not seem to have much expertise in their subjects. This college is a self-financed college so basically the teachers are on a day-to-day basis or lecture-based payroll (temporary). You might struggle a bit in your first year in coping with the subjects.

    The DU college dedicated to Journalism.
    Placements: This is a Five Year Integrated programme in Journalism at Delhi University. The course is pretty good and very interesting. We get to do a lot of things in here and also we go to several news channel visits and get the chance to sit as audience in popular shows of popular media houses.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure and location of this college is pretty good. This college is currently located in the university stadium of Delhi where Commonwealth 2010 was also held. We have a multipurpose hall right in front of our building where we can tak membership of gym or other services at a very low cost.
    Faculty: The faculty here might as not good as you think as the teachers are not permanent. Most teachers are pretty good at teaching as they have experience in the field of journalism. But there are a few teacgers who might have linguistic problems or having trouble in completing the syllabus. But in a whole, teachers are very supportive and good at their work.
