Indraprastha College for Women, a pioneer in women’s education in India, was the first college to introduce the Mass Media and Mass Communication course at the Bachelors level in Delhi University in 1999. The course offers a comprehensive understanding of various fields of media studies such as broadcast journalism, television production, advertising, radio and film-making. Most of our alumnae are well placed in various channels like NDTV, CNN IBN, Times Now, Sony. The course boasts of a state-of-the-art Audio Visual Production Centre that provides students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience on high-end equipment.
Every year, the department organizes an International Students’ Film Festival, Mise-en-Scene and an Annual National Media Seminar, Meet the Media. Mise-en-scene aims to provide students with a platform to showcase their skills in film-making through creative and thought-provoking films. Its Indie fest segment is a great opportunity for the students to interact with independent filmmakers and observe their work. The festival also includes ‘Frame Politik’, a photography competition and a non-competitive photography exhibition that are meant to exhibit students’ still photographic masterpieces. Meet the Media is a national seminar where eminent media personalities debate, discuss and deliberate upon contemporary issues relevant to media.
