Other Activities & Facilities:
Since last year, NISCORT has introduced a weekly programme known as “The World Around”. This programme is meant to enhance the general knowledge of the students and also their analytical and critical capabilities. This is a common programme for all the students and staff of the Institute. The students are divided into groups, under the guidance of a faculty member. Each group selects a current topic and prepares a presentation on that topic. The presentation session is for two hours every week, during which the group presents its findings and reflections and the rest of the student body and the faculty members participate in this programme.
- Periodically, an eminent personality is invited to share his/her thoughts or research findings or media experiences with the students.
- Channel NISCORT is the quarterly publication of NISCORT for the past six years. It carries news about NISCORT and its activities, announces courses and publications and also presents critical views and reflections on some important media related issues and concerns. Copies of this quarterly publication are distributed freely to Communication Centres, leaders, prominent persons, former students and friends and partners of NISCORT. This quarterly publication serves as a good instrument of publicity to the Institute and its programmes.
- In November 2001, NISCORT launched its own Electronic magazine called NISCORT E-zine. The E-paper pools together important news useful for all who are concerned with education and development. The E-zine has been put out regularly every week.
- The Institute has two fairly well-equipped audio studios and one video studio, primarily meant for the use of the students. The Institute also has three non-linear editing systems for the use of the students. The students are given free access to all these facilities, as and when they need to use these.
- In order to assist the students to improve their communication skills, the Institute has established a language lab. The students can use this lab to improve their language skills.
