Courage, resilience, and the urge to gain knowledge are the three things that Amity School of Communication has inculcated in me and for which I will forever be indebted. As I enter the mainstream media right after my bachelor's degree, it is evident that the environment ASCO provides makes students industry-read. With the right amount of persistence and support from the faculty, one can indeed expect and achieve great things from their experience here.

Amity School of Communication wasn't just textbooks. It took my learning to a whole new level. Their curriculum wasn't theoretical; it was packed with real-world case studies. Analyzing campaigns used by industry giants like Dentsu, Ogilvy helped me understand how communication works in the real world. Plus, their extensive interview prep workshops were a game-changer. They weren't just generic tips; they were tailored to the specific advertising sector. Practicing mock interviews with industry professionals and dissecting case studies built my confidence and prepared me for the actual interview.

Struggles and ambition are two synonyms taught solely by life.

That is what I learned from ASCO to efficiently achieve my goal and never give up on your dreams.

Video Journalist, BBC

Every day is not the same in the media, and similarly, each day was filled with different colours at Amity University. From ups to downs and from triumphs to failures, life has been peppered with different emotions. As someone who is now loved by seniors at work, I believe that the values I learnt at ASCO helped me to carve a niche in the professional circuit.

Young Professional, Ministry of Information & Broadcasting
BJMC (2012-2015)

The institute provided me with every opportunity to succeed. My undergrad professors were excellent mentors to me because they were genuinely enthusiastic about the subjects we studied here. They were always encouraging me to try new things, be creative, and push myself. By the end of my senior year, I had not only completed a number of projects that allowed me to apply what I had learned, but I had also participated in several extracurricular activities organised by the institution, which helped to boost my confidence. As a result, my three years at ASCO were more than a learning experience.

Assistant Manager- Site Communications & Public Affairs, Pfizer
BJ&MC (2011-2014)

A university is often a challenge to sail through, given the kind of diverse demography that it caters to. Adjustment to a new phase of life is critical. But ASCO makes us feel at home. From an ice-breaking session to delivering projects and facilitating learning, ASCO makes you self-reliant by the time students bid goodbye to the campus on completion of their academic course.

Production Sound Mixer, Freelance
BJMC (2005-2008)

It was at Amity Lucknow that I took the first step to explore and identify myself as a potential audio professional. We were encouraged by our faculty of filmmaking to go and shoot a 30-minute fiction film, where I handled the location and post-production sound along with other batchmates for the very first time. This learning and hands-on experience became the root of a wonderful journey to FTII Pune and eventually the Indian film industry. Some of my key projects are  Haseen Dillruba (2021), Raid (2018), Out of Time (2021) and Masoom, Hotstar.

Assistant Manager- Creative Solutions, Mensa
BJ&MC (2014-2017)

The sharpest, average, and weakest students co-exist with equal ease at ASCO. Students do not have to be super talented to win the hearts of faculty. Many a time, the topper helps out weak students in projects and vice versa. We don’t just break bread together; we also spend hours studying in a magnificent and state-of-the-art campus.
