Alumni Spotlight!

From the classrooms of DCJ, GU to the newsroom of India's largest English daily.

We are delighted to congratulate Mukut Das, our alumnus from 2012-14 batch, now Senior Correspondent at The Times of India.

Dear students, this is what focused journalism looks like.

We wish Mukut more power to his pen!
