ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

    The Department of Communication Media began its dynamic journey in 2004 with the launch of the Postgraduate Programme in Electronic Media, housed in the Golden Jubilee Memorial Building. With the introduction of B.Sc. Visual Communication in 2008, the Department steadily expanded, growing into a vibrant centre of creativity and innovation. Today, with 21 years of excellence, it continues to shape media professionals who are confident, skilled, and future-ready.

Visual Communication (Viscom) blends creativity, technology, and storytelling to communicate ideas through images, graphics, videos, symbols, and multimedia tools. To meet the needs of a rapidly evolving digital world, the Department integrates AI-enhanced learning and offers students rich hands-on experience—ranging from content creation for events and social media, to podcast production and industry-oriented internships.

Over the years, the Department has grown in strength, introducing the CBCS system after Autonomy in 2007 and producing fifteen successful PG batches, many of whom now work across the media industry. Signature events like Auxilium Cinema Fete and Visual Felicity celebrate emerging filmmakers and provide a platform for young talent to shine.

The Department also serves as the media backbone of the college—capturing events, producing videos, and maintaining a strong digital presence across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X, Spotify, and LinkedIn. Rooted in excellence and driven by innovation, the Department of Communication Media continues to inspire and empower the next generation of media creators. Today, the Department is known as the Department of Communication Media, and it is headed by Sr. Thimena Celine along with the staff members.

From academic year 2025 department launched Aux_Spotify, a podcast initiative on Spotify that empowers students and staff to create and share audio content. It serves as a platform for expression and connection within the academic community.
