Journalism
Journalism is the occupation of reporting, writing, editing photographing or broadcasting news. Journalism covers newspapers, journals/ magazines as well the electronic media like radio, TV and now the Internet as well. Jobs can be either field or desk oriented. Media aspirants should possess the ability to work hard and the strength of purpose to help them withstand pressures of deadlines or differences of opinion. The ability to interact with people is a critical requirement. A keen sense of observation, intuition to perceive what is not directly revealed and sound general awareness is essential.
The course is divided into six semesters and touches on various fields including communication, psychology, political science, international relations, writing for the media, information technology, radio and television journalism, economic development and communication theory. Students are expected to do a six weeklong internship with a media organisation during the sixth semester. The course entails a lot of field visits, seminars and a final project, which is sent to prominent media practitioners as well as academicians for evaluation. It is a professional course and unlike other U.G. courses, 75% attendance is mandatory.
Students have to appear for an entrance exam. Every college conducts a separate entrance to test the candidate’s proficiency in current affairs, flair for writing & expressing English and aptitude for interpretation and assimilation of news. Apart from current affairs, your awareness about media would also be tested. You can be asked the names of editors and owners of newspapers, owners of FM channels and news channels. You can also be asked the meaning of phrases to test your language skills. The test will attempt to judge the candidates general knowledge on domestic and world affairs, to judge comprehension, analytical skills, language skills and the ability to pen individual thoughts. For this students must read newspapers (last 6 month to 1 year), magazines and watch the news channels. As for writing skills the idea is not to test the vocabulary or grammar. In the short answer questions, one question could be ‘who is the Editor of the xyz (news paper),’ ‘Why was so and so (person) in the news recently,’ ‘To which country does a particular personality belong.’ The paper also includes essay type questions. A situation could be given and students have to write a report on it. The test is followed by an interview. The exam pattern varies form college to college and year to year. Most colleges have the paper divided into two sections, one on objective – type questions on current affairs and language comprehension, the other tests the analytical and writing skills. Pre – Admission forms are not accepted. For entrance test details contact college.

Music
When we talk about music as a profession, it definitely offers a choice of careers mainly in performing and teaching, in both vocal and instrumental music. Talented performers however may not always pursue music as their full-time profession but combine it with freelance work as a television or radio artist. With the advent of the satellite television, music has become a big business, thanks to MTV and V Channel. Competing with the fashion, modelling and film industry in glamour, youth consider music as a fun filled, wild and whacky career. But competition for music business is keen; talent alone is no guarantee for success. If you are serious and committed, you will be prepared to face months and years of slogging, low pay, heartache before you can even think of being able to make a living from your talent. Most aspiring bands, singers and musicians go through the stages of making it on the live circuit, making it on record and making it internationally.

Colleges will admit only those who are allotted to it by the Faculty of Music subject to the Maximum number of seats prescribed by the College. Pre – Admission forms are not accepted. For the entrance examination, students should not depend on a single bandish, especially those trying in instrumental category. They should prepare for the test in performance mould, with the slow and fast compositions on their fingertips. The degrees are awarded in both Hindustani and Carnatic Sangeet. Besides, the University also offers a Sangeet Shiromani (Diploma) in Hindustani and Carnatic music. If you want to study in instrumental music, you can also take lessons in sitar, sarod and guitar..

Philosophy
Since times immemorial, philosophy has played an important role in discipline like education, religious thought, even science and politics. It is felt that philosophy graduates make good lawyers since the course hones one’s debating skills. Journalism is another option, as this line is believed to enhance one’s writing capacity. There are examples of philosophy students making it in the corporate world, advertising and even the civil services. It enhances one’s analytical abilities, power of argument, reasoning capabilities, and above all makes you think. Since it involves extensive reading, one gets first-hand acquaintance with the best of texts and complex ideas. It is suited for those with a certain deflective kind of temperament. The course is specially recommended for those who need food for thought. It is good for those stimulated by the thought provoking analogies of philosophy, and right choice for those interested in reading – not popular fiction but serious texts. It requires effort and depth to do this course in the real sense of the word, else one could just drift through the three years and gain nothing out of it. The course provides excellent preparation for fields that demand strong critical thinking and analytical skills.

Social Work
The increasing global emphasis on battling issues related to women, environment, man made and natural disasters, human rights, mental health, HIV/ AIDS and so on has opened up opportunities for employment in non-government and government sectors. The rationale for the introduction of such a course is to provide deeper and wider understanding of the concept, problems of social welfare and development. This is designed to develop professionals in planning and organisation of programmes like family welfare, adult education, health and sanitation, nutrition, youth welfare, urban and rural development, counselling ecology and environment etc. The organisation of these programmes requires a cadre of trained professionals who not only have general understanding of the subject but also knowledge and skills of working with people at different levels.
Social Workers will also continue to be needed in Rehabilitation centres, in community based programme. Social Work professionals are given positions as welfare officer, school social worker, youth development officer, community development and in other agencies and organisation. The Scope of Social Work has been changing with the change in its objectives and with the changing situation. Some main areas of specialisation in this field are child welfare and family services, medical social work, school social work, social work in Community Organisation, Administrative and Research work, Social defence, social work with disabled etc. This course meets the need and potential for qualified professionals at the grass root level. Counsellors in de-addiction, palliative care and psychiatric care centres, hospitals, NGO’s schools, prisons, special schools, welfare boards, rescue home, observation homes and community development centres. One can even set up SHGs and work in disaster management, rehabilitation programmes and refugee camps.
