"The syllabus of the proposed course has already been passed by the board of studies," said Sanjay Ranade, head of DCJ.
"Before the implementation we need academic council and management council's approval," added Ranade.
20 students will be given admission in the first year. The credit-based course will be divided into four semesters with four subjects in each semester.
Students will be taught communication and media theory, global electronic media, electronic media criticism and contemporary media (journalism, public relations and advertising) in the first semester, while the second semester will focus on computational and writing skills, reporting and business of electronic media among others.
The third semester will have web technologies. Students will be required to conceptualize, create and upload a website.
In the final semester, students will have to do a "media convergence project" where they will be asked to choose from a variety of subjects.
