Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), including its Dhenkanal campus on its way to become a Media University
Following is an excerpt from a report in livemint.com.
A two-and-a-half-year-old proposal by the ministry of information and broadcasting (I&B) to upgrade the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), a 45-year-old state-run media school, into an international university may be approved.
The I&B ministry is preparing a draft cabinet note on the subject in consultation with the institute, according to a report of the standing committee on information technology tabled in Parliament last week. …
The enhanced status will let it offer bachelor’s and postgraduate degrees instead of the postgraduate diploma it currently offers.
The I&B ministry has also asked the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi for facilities since the media institute is currently located on the JNU campus. The university status will also cover IIMC’s campus at Dhenkanal in Orissa.
