EIIM: The Vision of a Media Captain

Edvance Institute of Integrated Media (EIIM) has been envisaged as a truly relevant, contemporary and effective professional institution to train, create and empower future-ready Media professionals with integrated, cross-media competencies.

Our courses overcome the problems of professional media education today:
Overall, our approach will be to inform, excite and train our students and lead and guide them along a journey of focused information and self-discovery across all aspects of the curriculum.
- Our courses have been designed to overcome the biggest problems which Industry experts feel are there with many other ‘professional’ media training institutes. These problems, according to a survery, are:
- Many of the other courses give largely bookish course content so the training is often superficial.
- Very often, their course content is not as per the needs of the media companies.
- This happens because often, they are not designed by Media professionals with proven experience.
- Therefore, the 'trained' graduates of most of the other courses cannot meet the job challenges, and hence they cannot contribute and fit in effectively enough
- Our courses are designed by media professionals with proven and award winning experience.
- Hence, our Media Programs are professionally relevant and contemporary, and keep the needs of today’s media companies top of mind.
- EIIM programs have been created in consultation with an extremely strong Advisory Board. This advisory board has some of the biggest and best and most successful names in Media, and include Media industry Leaders, Owners, Company heads and proven professionals in various critical function areas across various kinds of media verticals.
