Students

We focus on quality and not quantity of students as being bigger is not necessarily better, specially when you want to get hands-on training and individual guidance. What is the benefit of every student paying high fees and then failing to land a job due to poor training on account of huge numbers in class. We at TSJ focus on quality rather than quantity and this is evident from the very small batch size we focus on. The Class of 2016-17 has 28 students, 2015-16 (26), 2014-15 (31), 2013-14 (36), 2012-13 (27) and 2011-12 (35).

No wonder then TSJ students are much in demand with the best ones in the batch bagging job offers within Times Group and outside - even before they embark on their intensive hands-on training across various Times and non-Times Group newsrooms.

In 2012, TSJ students succesfully completed their Study Tour to Kasmir. Sponsored by the Indian Army (Northern Command), the week-long tour gave students the opportuntiy to watch and report on the burning issues in Kashmir at close quarters and in some of the most wondorous and equally inhospitable terrains. During the tour, the students were divided into two teams - one based in Kupwara and the other in Bandipore - where their movement etc was facilitated by the Indian Army.

As part of their regular intense training, students produce a series of publications in magazine and broadsheet formats, apart from producing videos and on-line content. These in-house journals give students the much needed edge when they go for internship at various newsrooms, making them hit the shop floor running. Some of the publications brought out by students of the last three batches can be seen below:
