Symbiosis Center for Media And Communication Pune, M.A in mass communication & journalism
Reviewed on Jun 12, 2020

Course Curriculum Overview

The curriculum is somewhat well planned . We have internships programmes at the end of every semester which give us a lot of exposure about the media industry.In the foundation course we are taught about the basis of media management . Later on we are divided into two groups namely communication management and media management which is further divided into the journalism and Av program . Here we need to showcase our thinking and creativity skills. The duration of the course is two years.

Placement Experience

4.5

Yes our college provides us industry internships where we get direct exposure and hands on experience with the industry . The minimum stipend starts from 8000 p.m. Almost 80% of our batch got placed this time . Job roles such as audio - visual production roles , editor , cinematographer, script er were taken up by the students from the top notch firms like TBWA , Google , Grey Advertising , Leo Burnett and many more.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The tuition fees is around 2,17000 per year . The other fees that you need to deposit is 35000 in the first year. Thus the total comes down to 4.69 L p.a . The total fees for two years is approximately 9.03 L which I consider is quite feasible seeing the placements and benefits offered by the college . This fees structure does not include the hostel and mess fees.

Campus Life

Our college organizes a inter batch library debate called Maadhyam where the students showcase their communication skills as a celebration of words , creativity and wisdom.We also have an annual theater festival , Dionysia , where the writers , directors , thespians conquer the stage . We also have a design and media festival called DZMA which hosts workshops by media professionals, performances to tell thew students about the new radical approach to art & design . It is spread over a period of five days . In true spirit , is a sports event in which students participate in various indoor and outdoor activities.

Hostel Facilities

We are provided with seminar halls , to host regular demonstration classes , lectures with LCD projectors.Our college also have a screening floor with a production control room which is equipped with lightning . The computer lab is fully network and gives its student high speed broadband connectivity. The college library has a collection of books covering from a range of technical / non technical books pertaining to the mass & media programme . The hostel rooms are also quite good and spacious and the hostel fees for girls hostel is around 17,8600 p.a on triple sharing basis . The mess and canteen food is also quite good.

Admission

In order to get admission in this college you need to clear SNAP examination which is organised by the university . It tests your skills on reasoning ability, English comprehension , Aptitude and general awareness . I managed to secure 76 marks in the examination an was called for group discussion and interview. I was able to clear the interview round also and later granted admission in the college.

Remarks:

I had honestly applied in only a selected number of colleges, as I was doing really well in my coaching and was always among the top 2. Since, I was expecting a lot from myself, it created performance pressure and I went blank during the actual CAT examination. So SDA bocconi was among the top 2 options that I had. It is less than a decade old and has still managed to provide good placements. The most fascinating part is the entire semester in Bocconi,Milan which is the 21st best college in the world and 7th in Europe. I also spoke to many aluminis and hardly got to hear anything that will stop me from taking admission in SDA bocconi. Plus, the advantage of the college being in a city like Mumbai has it's own advantages.

Remarks:

College management is highly supportive of student needs. The management listens to student issues and tries to solve it with proper thinking and strategy. The college and the composition, though is extremely dynamic and diverse, students live together peacefully in harmony, supporting and helping each other whenever needed. Though being it's initial stages of setup, the college faces certain issues with placements and internships, but slowly with every batchs learnings, these are also being cured. This ensures that students are always on their toes and ready to take on challenges.
