They were tasked with selecting a theme and clicking pictures using digital cameras either owned by them or issued by the university, showing TSOM’s commitment to hands-on learning and a practical curriculum.
Students had captioned the photographs, aptly capturing the narrative behind them.
The photographs were displayed on the walls of two classrooms of the newly-built P Block of Bennett University, in a gallery-like fashion, with reflective captions pasted alongside the prints.

Her classmate Saanya Gupta said she had a lot of fun with her group in creating the snapshots of her first-ever live assignment as a media student.
