Our aim is to nurture cutting edge media professionals with effective communication and critical thinking skills. Enrichment lectures by media stalwarts and face-to-face virtual workshops by media practitioners are organised on a regular basis.

The pedagogy includes a strong emphasis on practical training along with theoretical components. International and national film festivals, national seminars, media training workshops and campus visits of professionals from various streams of media are organized regularly.
