South Asian college or university graduates interested in post-graduate study in journalism are encouraged to apply to India’s Asian College of Journalism program for 2008 to 2009. The program will prepare students for a career in print journalism, new media, television, or radio. The last day to apply is April 30.

The application process involves an entrance examination for short-listed candidates, which will take place on May 25. Applicants who do well in the entrance examination will be invited to an interview at the College in mid-June.

Though most students admitted will be from India, the College expects to offer a certain number of places to suitable candidates from elsewhere in South Asia and from other parts of the world. A limited number of scholarships are also available.

Eligibility

College or university graduates in any discipline and students awaiting their degree examination results are eligible to apply for admission to the ACJ.

The examination will be administered in Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Kochi, New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Patna, Thiruvananthapuram and possibly other cities, depending on the number of applications received from a particular region.

The examination will be in two parts: (a) to test the applicant’s English language skills and facility and (b) the awareness of current affairs and general knowledge. It will also test the candidates’ writing ability and assess their analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Other procedures may be prescribed for candidates from abroad.

Interview

Applicants from India who have done well in the entrance examination will be invited to an interview at the College in mid-June. Up to 40 students will be finally selected for the Print Media stream, up to 30 for New Media, and up to 30 for the Television stream and up to 15 for the Radio stream.
