DETAILED REVIEW OF MAHARAJA AGRASEN COLLEGE

I have chosen to take admission only in the Maharaja Agrasen College because the college has a unique culture of inclusiveness, diversity, personal and intellectual integrity and value based education. The curriculum has a strong focus on individual growth and the development of essential tools so that its students make a mark in the corporate world and the field of technology. Students who are seeking admission in the college must have completed their 10+2 or equivalent examination in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English (PCBE) with a minimum of 45% marks in aggregate. The college puts an extensive effort to make the admission process smooth and expeditious. Students can apply online for admission or can purchase the application form from the college campus and submit the same in the office of The Director of Admissions and Academics with all complete information along with required documents.

I have chosen this course because, with the growing number of communication channels, the number of audiences has also increased at a huge rate. Presently in India, journalism has become a prestigious career choice for many students. Journalism is a challenging field and it is playing a key role in the development of the nation. The faculty to student ratio of our Journalism Department is 20:1. The college strictly follows its academic calendar concerning the conduct of mid-semester and end-semester examinations, evaluation of the answer scripts, and declaration of results. The timely completion of the academic session has been a policy of the college that is strictly implemented and is instrumental in helping the students to prioritize their goals in a time-defined manner.
