Ferzad Palia, Head, Youth and English Entertainment, Viacom18, said, “College life is much more than just fests and tests. The fun lies in the day-to-day activities – the classes, the bunking, the friendships, the professors, the college canteen, the college romances, the competition, the college rituals and much more. Each campus has a story to tell. Dell Campus Diaries by MTV celebrates this campus spirit and provides students with a platform to connect, collaborate and create.”

Dell Campus Diaries by MTV is a unique platform that gives you valuable insights into the world of college students, at a crucial juncture in their lives. We hope our engagement will provide a positive impact in enabling them to expand their horizons and succeed not just in college but even as they enter the professional world.”
