A B.A. in Journalism typically focuses more on the theoretical aspects of journalism, including history, ethics, and the role of journalism in society. Students in this programme may also have the opportunity to specialize in a particular area of journalism, such as investigative journalism, sports journalism, or broadcast journalism.

On the other hand, a B.J.M.C. programme is more practical and hands-on in nature, with a focus on developing skills such as news reporting, writing, editing, and production for various media platforms such as print, radio, television, and digital media. B.J. M. C. programs also often cover related subjects like advertising, public relations, and media management.
