Times Centre For Media Studies Admission 2008 - 09

In the backdrop of the economic scenario today it was sheer foresight that The Times of India Group set up the Times Centre For Media Studies, as an independent company. The objective was to promote education and research in the field of Journalism, Marketing and Sales in the media business as a part of its C.S.R. commitments.

Launched in 1989, Times Centre For Media Studies runs two Premier Schools:

Times School of Journalism established in 1989
Times School of Marketing established in 1990

It must also be mentioned that the Times School of Journalism in the short span of its existence has been ranked 9th by the Outlook Magazine.
In response to the tremendous growth of the students from Western & Southern India, Times Centre For Media Studies – Mumbai was launched in the year 2007.

Mumbai being the main hub of the media industry, let it be print, television, radio, outdoor or even internet, Mumbai is the Capital of the Media World. For a city like Mumbai which was well-connected with global, national, regional & local media houses felt the shortage of trained professionals, who were familiar with the working of the media house & could feel the work pressure right from the first day at desk. This was the main reason to launch TCMS in Mumbai.

Times Centre For Media Studies – Mumbai shall cater students from Western & Southern region of India and shall run Premier Schools like:

Times School of Journalism
