What to expect at XIC |
| |
|
ACADEMICS |
|
Designed
primarily for graduates who are
planning a career in communications
and media, the courses attempt to go
beyond skills and techniques.
Students are encouraged to question
the social framework within which
the media operate. They offer a
chance for students to interact with
distinguished media people -
journalists, filmmakers, critics,
photographers, advertising,
publicity and public relations
professionals - who form the core of
the teaching faculty at XIC
In addition to classroom
teaching, the emphasis in these
courses is on group projects,
personal assignments and study.
Some courses also have an element of
independent research added. |

THE CREDIT SYSTEM |
|
In course
structure, XIC follows the
Credit System.
One credit represents 10 hours of
class time, or 5 sessions (of 2
hours each).
Diploma courses average 80-100
credits, or 400-500 learning
sessions in an academic year of
ten calendar months. This does not
include individual study time.
Classes are held in 2 hour
sessions between 10 a.m. and 8.30
p.m. The course load averages
between two to three sessions per
day over a five-day week.
When weekends are taken for
production and workshops, the weekly
load is accordingly adjusted. For
every hour of class time, a student
is expected to put in two hours or
more daily, of private study by way
of reading, reflection, assignments,
research or case study and special
projects.
To qualify for any one of XIC's
FIVE diplomas a student
should have successfully fulfilled
the course requirements: 75%
attendance and an average grade 'C'
in the finals. This requirement is
applicable to the certificate
courses as well. |
| |
|
DIPLOMA |
|
The Institute
awards its own Diplomas to students
who successfully complete the
necessary course requirements. The
diplomas and certificates it awards
are not ‘government recognised’ for
public sector employment.
Nevertheless, XIC students are much
sought after by the media industry,
commercial, corporate and non-profit
organizations in India and Overseas.
A very important requirement for
all these Diploma courses is
compulsory attendance for all
lectures and group activities.
This is then factored into the Final
Grade Point Average. |
| |
|
HOSTEL FACILITIES |
|
XIC offers no
hostel facilities. Out-of-town
students have to make their own
lodging arrangements. However XIC
does help students to locate safe
and affordable accommodation in the
vicinity of the college. Please
enquire at the office. |

|
A WORD OF ADVICE |
|
Diploma course
work is demanding. Assignments,
weekend activities, field-trips take
more time and energy than students
anticipate. If it is difficult for
you to make a year-long commitment,
it is advisable to opt for workshops
or for short-term courses. You may
also register for our distance
education programme online,
www.telexic.com where you
can study at your own pace. What you
will gain will depend largely on
your enthusiasm and initiative. |

|
|
Kindly
Remember:
Any dispute between the Institute
and its students is subject to the
jurisdiction of the courts in Mumbai
only. |
