Admission to Wilson College's Mass Media program requires passing an entrance exam, being included in a merit list, and succeeding in an interview with the Head of Department, which is considered the most challenging part. The Mass Media Department is highly regarded, with a distinguished faculty including Professor Sudhakar Solomonraj. Initially, the faculty-to-student ratio is about 1:120, improving in the third year with specialization. The department enhances learning through field trips, guest lectures, and motivational sessions.
Exams are manageable for regular attendees due to the college's autonomy in setting papers. While some faculty may have outdated technical knowledge, guest lectures from industry leaders augment teaching quality. The course is more costly than general ones, covering tuition, library, and miscellaneous fees. Fees for general category students range from 18,500 to 31,000 rupees annually, with incremental increases, while SC/ST students pay 600 rupees, and ST & OBC students pay 5,000 rupees per year.
Installment payment options and potential full fee reimbursement via scholarships are available. Scholarship opportunities and financial assistance are offered, especially for economically disadvantaged students. Placement support is strong, with internships at top media companies, although campus interviews are not held. The placement rate is between 60-80%, with notable hiring from companies like Morgan Stanley and Times India, offering a 3-month unpaid internship. Despite a high placement rate, the college does not guarantee jobs for all students.
The college has become autonomous, requiring a minimum 75% attendance for exam eligibility. All scholarship information is accessible on the college website, and financial support depends on providing required documentation.
