Megha Varier's Review on SIMC Pune - Symbiosis Institute of Media & Communication
Placements and Internships
With regard to journalism course, we have two internships throughout the four semesters. The iinstitute is particular and facilitates good organizations to come to the college for recruitment. Some organizations with which we have association with are Network 18, The Hindu, The Indian Express, The News Minute, etc.
College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
Infrastructure is quite commendable. However, the students do face transportation issues which largely has to do with the location of the institute, rather than the facilities provided.
Academics and Faculty
Regarding the journalism course at SIMC, the institute gets prominent people from the industry to interact with the students, which I consider one of the positive aspects. Two internships in the 2 years of the course and three in-house publications are add-ons with respect to exposure to the industry.
Fees and Scholarships
As a two year masters residential programme, the fees is quite on the higher side. However, student bank loans are available.

Academics & Faculty : SIMC offers courses covering the entire spectrum of the media industry. Each course has been designedwith the kind of attention to detail and rigour the industry expects of our students and our students expect of us. Recognizing the fact that industry expectations can best be gauged by industry,we have had industry professionals consult with our panel of resident faculty and academicians,to help design the curriculum. Here courses are dynamic and revise every year to align with current trends.SIMC believe in iteration as a means to design and deliver courses, that are relevant to the media and communication landscape.
