Jadavpur University Discontinues Mass Communication Programme
Jadavpur University has decided to stop its one-year diploma course in mass communication.
The university says not enough students applied for the 50 available seats.
The course fee was ₹20,000, and the university will refund the application fees to those who applied this year.
Some students are upset because they think the university should have been more serious about running the programme.
The university also has a master's programme in mass communication, but the number of students taking that course is also decreasing.
The university is facing financial constraints and relies on self-financed courses for funds.
Jadavpur University has discontinued its one-year diploma in mass communication due to insufficient applicants.
The programme had 50 seats, but only 60 students applied, with an expected lower admission rate.
The university will refund the application fees to all applicants this year.
Students and officials have expressed concerns about the university's decision and its financial constraints.
The university also runs a master's programme in mass communications, which has seen a decline in admissions.
