The nearly six-decade-old institution under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has traditionally offered a one-year Post Graduate Diploma in Journalism. However, from this year, it is a deemed to be university, which should give it greater freedom in designing its courses and curriculum that not just reflect new-age career options for journalists beyond the newsroom but also capture the constant tectonic shifts in the media landscape. New courses on offer include MA in Media Business Studies, and Strategic Communications. There are specialised journalism courses on how to leverage tools like Generative AI, drones and even Augmented and Virtual Reality. This is in addition to the existing stream-based courses in print, TV, radio and digital journalism. The institute’s course on Environment Journalism has been popular for years. It has now started a course on Health Communications. n
