 Vice Chancellor's Note
With immense pleasure, we warmly welcome all of you as we
embark on the placement process at CHRIST (Deemed to be
University).

As we celebrate fifty-three glorious years of dedicated service to

Indian Higher Education, we take immense pride in the
accomplishments of our students, alumni, and faculty, who have
consistently demonstrated excellence in their respective fields. Our
commitment to "Excellence and Service" has guided our institution's
success and growth.

At CHRIST, we firmly believe in nurturing holistic development, ethical values, and a strong
sense of social responsibility in our students, making them academically proficient and well-
rounded individuals capable of making meaningful contributions to society.

One of our top priorities at CHRIST(Deemed to be University) is to ensure that our students are
highly employable and well-prepared for the challenges of the corporate world. We have
emphasised the importance of upskilling and reskilling, providing them with opportunities to
acquire additional competencies that align with the current demands of various industries. Their
proactive attitude and ability to adapt to change make them resilient professionals capable of
thriving in any environment. They have undergone comprehensive training that equips them
for the dynamic and highly competitive job market. They possess a diverse skill set,
encompassing managerial and administrative capabilities, relevant research and pedagogical
methods, and a global perspective rooted in tradition and culture. We are confident they will be
valuable assets to your organisation, driving growth and success.

As you engage with our students during placement, we encourage you to be keen observers and
recognise their immense potential. We encourage you to engage in meaningful interactions and
provide constructive feedback to help them grow and develop further. The synergy between
your organisation and our talented students will pave the way for mutual growth and success.

At CHRIST, we strive to build strong academic foundations and a sense of family and
community. We believe in fostering strong partnerships with the corporate world and value the
relationships we develop with your esteemed institutions over time.

Once again, we extend our heartfelt welcome to you and together, let us work towards shaping a
better future and positively impacting society.

 Message from HOD

The volume, velocity and variety with

which media content impinge upon our
sense and our consciousness on a
quotidian basis created variegated
impacts.

There’s hardly anyone who can proclaim to be leading an unmediated life. The
omnipresence of media in our lives is uncontestable. The volume, velocity and
variety with which media content impinge upon our senses and our consciousness on
a quotidian basis creates variegated impacts. In such a complex media-saturated
world, the role of media educators is immense.

The Department of Media Studies at CHRIST, with a deep awareness of the

enormous power that media wields in our daily lives, operates with a few key
objectives. One of the prime aims is to produce media leaders of tomorrow who as
lifelong learners, would offer a plethora of media services, matching to professional
requirements and ethical norms. To aid in the production and dissemination of
media-centric knowledge that respects pluralist and democratic ethos is a
commitment of the Department.

To realise a media literate society, the Department offers various capacity-building

workshops and programmes for the different stakeholders of our community. In our
complex media-saturated world, the role of media educators is immense. With its
resourceful and amiable faculty and robust academic systems, we work towards
making media education rigorous, meaningful and joyful.
