Auro University BJMC Review By Dhruv Darji

Study wise and program wise Auro University did well at least in our department. They did run behind some features and facilities that are needed in mass communication school but if the facilities were not at the university, the university made sure that we get to feel the video rooms, editing rooms, or the press rooms directly by getting us placed there as an intern for a fair while. I loved being a part of Auro University and their education system to me was great. Almost all the college students of the university unite during the events which we couldn’t do much for obvious reasons. The university still needs some corrections but the campus is massive and lovely conditions with students flaunting fashion and some of them even their vehicles. Well students from well to do family join Auro as the fees is slightly high but if you were to take my advice, it was worth the money.

The university gave some extra workload to us in regards to academic. Firstly, attending the lectures was compulsory as skipping them means no repeat of the same lecture but to take help of classmates to get revision what missed. Then, comes the dominant part of the course which is the internship program. Literally internship did extremely well to us as students because we were completely under the pump during internship. It wasn’t a normal internship where we just have to show our faces and watch others do their things. We also were assigned responsibilities and report card of the same was sent to the University.

We just had to face them for the first half of the course because then we were off-campus. Even though the faculty members did paid visit there but just gave some inputs and left because some of them were not of the same field and might not have the idea on what advice do, we even need. For some of the things that the university does need correction, this is one part for sure. The program is such that having a nice bond or having grudges with faculty will not matter because they don’t have the entire matter in their hands.

Compared to other courses at the University, BJMC was the only course in which students can enjoy internship along with stipend and get jobs on and off campus. The only problem was that the jobs offered weren’t that lucrative and so one always feels that they are in danger of risking their future, if they take such jobs. Most of the students went for higher studies but some were happy with the kind of jobs that were offered.

Day scholars were not even allowed to go and see the hostels and don’t even know anyone who stayed at the hostel. The hostel building looked as good as the other buildings and because the university has built everything fantastic, hostel too would be no different. What there was on display, looked good but what’s there inside is something I shouldn’t comment on because I haven’t seen it myself nor do I know the facilities that were provided at the hostels.

The campus was little outside the city but Surat has good enough transportation to reach the University. The campus size was great and going by the look, it was definitely one of the most beautiful universities, one may see. The buildings were class and the security is tightened as there are guards and security cameras at every corner of the university. The library was imposing as it was irresistible for many. It had a nice reading room with computer lab just next to it and even though we had to bring our laptops, I used the college PCs as they were better than what I had. The university didn’t have left much but if they can build some studio and some labs required for our course, it would make our course even more popular.

It was a nice swing at the university as going early and getting free soon was the best thing happened. You can sail all your desires at the university as the university had nice sporting facilities and one can become a part of the team. I used to play volleyball and had to stay back as we represented our team at the college’s league. Along with sports, students were free to register themselves for whichever event or program they wanted to. Since, our department students could hardly stay in touch with university, our department students were hardly seen at fests or events.
