Words of JSJC Students

“One of the best things at JSJC is that you can experiment. You get a lot of support, and the chance to see what works for you as an individual. There is creative independence along with constructive critique. At JSJC, you experience both intellectual and personal growth.”
- Asheehza Baig
Class of 2021

“The atmosphere at JSJC is welcoming and encouraging. JSJC is an unconventional and skill-based course as opposed to textbook learning. I interned at BBC-World, Delhi, for almost a month. This helped me step into an office environment and understand how a news organization functions. JSJC is not only provided me with real-time opportunities but also shaped my interest in pursuing higher education in human rights.”
- Ashima Sharma
Class of 2020

“At JSJC, I learned the importance of working on a deadline - a skill which will help me throughout my life. Here, there is a big emphasis on fact-checking and avoiding fake news. This is something which, I feel, is crucial in a world where anyone can act as a journalist.”
- Aditya Talpade
Class of 2020

“I was lucky to do my first internship at the Times of India, Chandigarh. The happiness of seeing my article with a byline in the newspaper cannot be put in words! I wanted to explore every type of media to find out my area of interest. So, next, I interned with India Today in the digital department. I could learn a lot during both my internships: from managing time to being responsible to work in a team. But the most important lesson: Never be afraid to ask questions.”
- Harleen Walia
Class of 2020

“My time at JSJC was very special. I wanted to get into a university that nurtured an environment for the holistic development of its students. This is why JSJC was the school of my choice. Not only was I learning from some of India’s finest faculty but I was also guided to form and develop a personality of my own. My co-curricular activities at JSJC rooted a sense of confidence in me and defined me as a person. Currently, I am working as a Research Scholar at JGU.”
- Shambhavi Savi
