It is a well-defined course for everybody who wants to take up media as a career or even those who are already in the industry.”
Another student from Class of 2017, Vijay Subramanian, a freelance game developer and entrepreneur in family-owned business said, “For a newbie such as me, learning from the experienced industry professionals helped me tremendously. I also enjoyed most of the deeper learning which takes place in an offline mode, in the company of your peers.”
With an eye on upgrading various facets of the program every year, this year students will be able to benefit from the Executive Ed Alumni Status from SPJIMR, Placement Assistance and Entrepreneurial Project that will play a pivotal role in student placement building their career in this rapidly evolving sector.
