Newspaper Journalism (Print Journalism)
More than ever, newspaper professionals must consistently demonstrate the qualities of precision, accuracy, speed, fairness, understanding and public responsibility. Students will gain these skills through a blend of theoretical and practical courses and workshops. The Institute seeks to prepare them to step into the nation's newsrooms. They will learn reporting, editing, page design and newsroom management. Teaching methods include lectures, case studies, seminars with guest speakers, individual assignments and workshops. Students concentrating on Newspaper journalism must take the newspaper workshop.

Magazine Journalism (Print Journalism)
Magazine journalism students' course work will prepare them to participate in writing, editing and production. They will use the latest technology to create graphics, choose typefaces and prepare layouts. While most students select magazine work from an interest in writing feature articles, the program seeks to instill additional interest and expertise in layout and design, and other areas. Students concentrating on Magazine journalism must take the magazine workshop.

New Media Journalism (Web Journalism)
The New Media courses are integrated with the print curriculum, so students learn solid reporting skills along with technical skills needed for presenting news on-line. They will create a journalism website themselves, doing everything from gathering and writing content to publishing their work. Utilizing major Web publishing software tools, students design, create and operate Web publications as part of their course work and workshops. The Center for New Media plays an important role in setting ethical and editorial standards for interactive and multimedia journalism. Students concentrating on Web journalism must take the New Media workshop.

Television Journalism
Television curriculum requires acquiring skills in reporting, writing, and production for TV broadcast.  Students work with both print and television faculty, and acquire the necessary background in each of the subject areas and specializations. Television workshops train students for the real world of broadcast journalism, offering best practices in the industry.  Students learn to shoot and edit videotape, and to produce hard news and feature stories. IIJNM maintains close association with several TV stations in the Bangalore area with whom students get the opportunity to interact. Students concentrating on Television must take the Television workshop.

Radio Journalism
Radio Journalism students learn to work on news bulletins and documentaries, as well as on in-depth and longer form radio reports.

Theoretical sessions will be further strengthened through library research and seminar paper presentations. Students concentrating on Radio journalism must take the Radio workshop.
