How do you find the teaching standards of Indian Journalim institutes vis–vis International Journalism institutes?
The teaching standards of Journalism institutes are fine. I am not the right person to comment as I havent been to any Journalism school. All I know is that who pass out of Journalism schools are quite bright. I have worked and presently working with people who are a product of Jamia, IIMC or Symbioisis. They are really good. They have done a full-fledge course so they know most of the other things besides anchoring and reporting. I dont know if any improvement is required or not because an institute cant teach everything in just one-year course. As far as international institutes are concerned, I dont know about them but I know some of my colleagues who were working and then they took a break and went to do the short term courses. The only difference I found in them after they came back is that they were more confident. They got more exposure. As they had worked with the media professionals abroad they had developed more professional approach. They got familiar with their work culture
