Career Story as generously shared by
Ankit Bhat himself:
“ChandigarhUniversity students have a history of achieving their dreams and soaring beyond
boundaries and I am one of them. Nothing makes me more proud than being able to
talk about my own success.”
Ankit Bhat, narrates further:
“My journey at CU was truly
great. Being in CU, I feel like I have achieved a lot. I hail from Jammu and
when I took admission in the diploma course in Chandigarh University it was the
first time that I had moved out of my city. During my days in CU, the teachers
were very supportive. Getting placement after diploma was like a cherry on the
cake for me. Though, I wanted to study further so I decided to pursue Mass
communication instead of a job.
On
successful completion of the Mass Communication examination, I secured a job in
TV100 channel in Uttrakhand. Due to my lustrous achievements in TV Channel,
Dehradun I was awarded the Young Journalist Award, which was a big achievement
for me. After that, I moved to New Delhi to work with JK 24 x7. In JK 24X7, I
got a precious and very rare opportunity which a young journalist can ever
dream of. This opportunity was to meet the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India
Shri. Narendra Modi. I covered crime stories and got the opportunity to cover
Uttrakhand assembly elections and the J&K Assembly session.
I
covered both these events very successfully. After this, I got a call from News
18 Network to work in Jammu and Kashmir. This was my life’s another greatest
opportunity which my hard work offered to me. I joined in Jammu and at that
time the International border was full of tension. At that time, I covered Pakistan
shelling at the international border. I also survived the militant attack in
Jhajjar Kotli (in Jammu region near Katra Vaishno Devi ji) where journalists
got caught in the crossfire between terrorists and the security forces. At this
juncture, I thought that this was my last day of life as the bullets passed
above my head during cross-firing. At the age of 25, I got the opportunity to
become the Youngest Bureau Head in J8K State.
I
think all these opportunities came my way because of Chandigarh University. I
would like to thank the faculty and Management of the University because of
whose support I was able to achieve such a glorious success. I was ushered with
excellent academic and personal guidance from a very inspiring class of
professors of CU who shaped my career and gave me the right direction. I feel
highly honored to get such world-class education from my alma mater i.e. CU.”
