Your academic performance and participation in extra-curricular activities, both in school and college will definitely be taken into consideration. However, the decision to admit you to the course will be taken on the basis of entrance tests which we conduct. These consist of a written test, a group discussion and a personal interview. Please note that absence from any of the above will disqualify you.

Preparation for the entrance test only requires an awareness of current events as reported by the media and issues concerning the media. This year, as a part of the admission process, you will be undergoing a Personal Interview and completing an assignment assigned to you at the time of the interview. The assignment and time required for the submission will be communicated to you at the time of the interview. Make sure you have some contact with media every day: Watch news, spend at least half an hour on a newspaper or a news source of your choice. Watch films, look at ads, TV shows, and web series and be prepared to talk about them.

Hostel facilities are only available for women. There are approximately 6 - 8 seats for Social Communications Media students in the women’s hostel. Selection for the hostel is not dependent only on academic performance or performance in the Entrance Tests. Several other aspects are taken into consideration. If you are anxious to join the Social Communications Media course and you do not get hostel accommodation please be prepared to make your own arrangements for accommodation.

Please refer to the general prospectus of the Polytechnic.

Social Communications Media is a full-time course designed for entry into the media profession. Often work on individual assignments and group projects extend beyond the regular course timings, more so around exhibition time. Social Communications Media students are left with little time to pursue other activities. We are very strict about attendance and there is no leniency in this regard. Classes start at 8.00 am in the morning. Students need to make transportation arrangements to avoid being late. We expect complete commitment from our students in this regard.
