Learner experience
Kazi Moin Liyakat Ali
I enrolled in this online MA-JMC as the same program was not available in my city. Pursuing this program not only enhanced my video-making skills, but also helped me gain in-depth knowledge in several aspects of media.
Romila
Working in the education sector & social development sector for 5-6 years, I came across a tribal village in Telangana and I really wanted to capture their stories. But I didn’t have the right skills, attitude and mindset to capture them. This is where Manipal University Jaipur is empowering me with an online MA JMC degree. I’m able to leverage maximum out of this platform.
Kanchan Giri
During the pandemic, I was skeptical about taking up an on-campus degree. So, I chose to pursue my masters in journalism in the online mode. From live classes to faculty members, I have had a great experience with MUJ so far. I hope to pursue my dream media career after this program.
Ashok Sharma
I have been working as a lab technician in Manipal University Jaipur for 8 years, I have good technical skills like video recording and editing. However, I wanted to improve my knowledge, so I decided to pursue an online MA JMC. I want to pursue my PhD after this online program, and I also hope to become a news anchor one day.
