REGIONAL CAMPUSES

IIMC Dhenkanal: The Eastern Indian campus of the IIMC was set up in 1993 in the central
Odisha district of Dhenkanal. This was the first centre to be set up outside New Delhi to
meet the growing needs for learning, training and research in journalism and mass
communication in the Eastern part of the country. Located about 80 kilometres south-west
of Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha, Dhenkanal is nestled in the rural and tribal
hinterland of the state, connected by both rail and road (NH55).

IIMC, Dhenkanal, which began its operation in rented accommodation, shifted to its own
campus on the lap of Paniohala (meaning ‘hanging water’ in Odia) hills in May 2000, away
from the hustle-bustle of the town. The 7.5-acre new campus commands a majestic view
surrounded by deep forest, a habitat of a variety of plants, animals and insects.

Since 1993, the Dhenkanal Campus has produced more than 1600 media professionals.
Most of them are working in leading mainstream national and international media
organizations as well as government establishments and NGOs. Many of them are also
working in public relations and advertising domain. Some of them have started media units
of their own; some have joined academics.

IIMC Kottayam: Indian Institute of Mass Communication’s Regional Centre in South

India was founded at Kottayam – the land of letters, latex and lakes – in 1995. It was
established to impart quality training to working journalists, Public Relations professionals
and State Information Officers.

In 2012, for the first time, IIMC Kottayam opened its doors to graduate students with the
introduction of Postgraduate Programme in English Journalism. Since then, IIMC
Kottayam has been consistently nurturing journalism talents with commitment, quality and
industry-readiness. In the year 2017, Postgraduate Programme in Malayalam Journalism
was launched in the Regional Campus with a view to set new quality standards in
journalism training in the regional milieu. Post Graduate Diploma in Digital Media has
also been introduced in Kottayam campus from the academic session 2024-25.

19
In 2019, the new and permanent Southern Regional Campus of IIMC was made functional
in the 10-acre lush green, scenic locale at Pampady, around 12 km away from Kottayam.
It is a residential campus with an Academic Cum Administrative Block, Students’ Hostel,
Guest Suites, Staff Quarters and other facilities.

With the new campus, IIMC Kottayam envisions to enhance its stature by initiating a bunch
of new short-term Programmes for communication professionals from public and private
sector. In the coming years, IIMC Kottayam aspires to be the main hub of mass
communication and media training, in South India.

IIMC Amravati: The Western Regional Campus of the IIMC was established in 2011 at
Amravati–the land of legends, surrounded by the Satpura range forests, and opened its
doors to graduate students with the Postgraduate Journalism Diploma Programme in
English. Students from this Centre have earned extremely high academic credentials with
excellent track record. Ever since, this course has earned good reputation with its students
pursuing careers in major media organizations in the country.

In the year 2017, Marathi Journalism Programme was launched with specific thrust to
promote quality training in the language media on a national scale. From (2022-23) PG
Diploma in Hindi Journalism has been introduced at Amravati.

IIMC Aizawl: The Aizawl Campus of IIMC was inaugurated on August 8, 2011. Despite
proliferation of newspapers and television channels in the North East Region of the
country, there was hardly any centre for media training facilities in the region. The IIMC’s
Aizawl Campus aims to bridge this gap by training media professionals who could
contribute to this ever-burgeoning sector.

Initially, the Institute started functioning from a temporary premises provided by the
Mizoram University and introduced Post-Graduate Diploma Programme in English
Journalism. PG Diploma in Digital Media was introduced from the academic session 2022-
23. The full-fledged permanent residential campus of IIMC has come up on 8 acres lush
green locale in November 2022.

IIMC Jammu: While extending its coverage at all-India level, IIMC set up its Regional
Campus at Jammu also during 2012-13. The Government of Jammu & Kashmir has
provided rent-free accommodation to IIMC for academic facilities, as well as for the
students' hostel and guest house for visiting faculty. The campus shifted to its permanent
campus, spread across 15 acres, in December 2022. The campus runs Post Graduate
Diploma Programme in English Journalism, Hindi Journalism and Digital Media from
