From conducting interviews to writing articles and designing layouts, students gain practical experience in every aspect of the editorial process.
In addition to print journalism, students can explore broadcast media through projects like Shoolini TV and Shoolini Samvad on YouTube. As part of these initiatives, graduates learn how to write and deliver news stories, produce video content, and work with industry-standard broadcasting equipment.
For those interested in radio broadcasting, Radio Shoolini offers a platform to showcase talents as an anchor and interviewer. Whether hosting entertainment shows or conducting interviews with campus guests, students have the opportunity to develop their on-air presence and communication skills.
Beyond the classroom, the School of Journalism offers a range of opportunities for internships and industry exposure. Shoolini journalism and media students have interned at leading media organisations such as News18 TV, ABP, News Nation TV, Punjab Kesari TV, PTC Group, Hindustan Times, Times of India, The Indian Express, The Tribune, Dainik Bhaskar, Amar Ujala, Fusion PR, Adfactor PR, i-Catchers PR, Bingo Media, and TechThirsty.com.
Regularly, expert visiting faculty is invited to interact with students from various fields of communication such as advertising, PR, photography, graphic designing, and corporate communication. Students also visit newspaper offices and TV/Radio stations to get a feel of buzzing newsrooms.
