The approach at ISC is to guide the trainee into this relatively new field through a “funnel approach”, beginning with a broad understanding and moving progressively toward more independent and intensive learning in a specialized path. At the end of the tenure, each trainee demonstrates an extensive comprehension of communication, and in-depth training in the specialization of choice. The PGP is divided into Level A (9 months) & Level B (9months)

Level A (9 months)
Candidates can opt for only Level A and on successful completion of the same, can apply for Level B. It is advisable to enroll for Level B for advanced knowledge about the specialization. Level A of the course comprises of 13 modules intending to lay a foundation for a preliminary understanding of the processes and patterns of communication. Trainees begin with training in teamwork, strategy, communication skills, and functional cohesion. Classroom input covers a broad spectrum of subjects in Journalism (Print and Broadcast), Mass Communication dealing in (Radio Television and Film Studies) and Communication Studies (Advertising, Public Relations and Media Management). Practicum is in still photography, news mapping and monitoring, specialized software, event management, and some video production. Several projects also form a part of the curriculum. All modules are mandatory. Towards the end of Level A, you would be equipped to choose your specialization, and defend it to the Academic Committee through a presentation done with some intensive industry research.

After choosing a specialization, a trainee takes two kinds of input: a) a set of mandatory modules, common to all specializations, b) a set of specialization modules, common to one of the three broad specializations. Practical input is mainly in the form of specialized software and audiovisual tools, plus independent projects or assignments in specialized modules.
On completion of Level A, the candidates are eligible to move on to Level B.

Level B (9 months)
During Level B of the course, a trainee a) learns to interact in a professional environment, b) learns from and contributes to the organization, c) makes useful contacts with industry professionals. The trainee both mandatory modules and specialization modules and get a deeper understanding of the same. The trainees are required to take up independent project-based work which is mandatory. This research and project-based work begins by choosing a topic, doing the necessary research and finally making a presentation in defense of the Dissertation that they have done.

Level B is followed by a 60 days Internship in an organization, leading to final placements.  Students opting for Level B get an additional advantage of getting an opportunity to intern with a media organization and get assistance from the Institute for internships and final placements
