Direction

The degree of Bachelors in Mass Media aka mass communication or journalism and mass communication gives a foundation to the skill sets and knowledge to enter the media careers. There are specialisations offered through B.Sc and other technical degrees in the domain of mass media only where you may get more of direction and film-making learning.
However, I am on one to say that the degree of BMM is less capable of taking you to accomplish your dream of becoming a film director.
I shall suggest and share that a specialisation will always be needed. The course of film-making and production or degrees done from institutes like FTII or Whistling Woods or from AAFT or IIMC have the potential to lead you to the aim you are pursuing.
Go ahead and don't stop from doing the course that you are determined to. My advise would be to choose a good institution where film-making is preferred.

Direction - Films, Movies, Short Films, TV Serials, Features, Advertisement/TV Commercials etc. is a profile with the Public Relation, Doordarshan/Prasar Bharti divisions of the government. There is a possibility to get employed with the Universities and Film Production related government Institutions as well. Media Studies institutions managed by the government shall also offer jobs to Directors and Makers and Faculty.
Direction shall also be an eligibility to take Part Time or Project Based Jobs with the Government. Generally, LONG TERM Projects are also like Jobs when one gets employed in the government.

A course in direction cannot be done unless you do a Bachelor's Degree in the film making and production domain. It is made clear merely a certificate course cannot make someone a good editor to claim jobs at the best places.
I shall suggest that when a good job with growing possibilities is there one has to take up the assignment because mass media jobs are the best to do when they come to you. Once the hunt starts, it takes time.

Hi,
Necessary skills required to be a director:
Writing
Even if a director has never written a script in his life, he still needs to understand how one is written. Screenplays have specific three-act structures, and being able to recognize how a script adheres to this structure is an important skill in filmmaking. Often, a director will rewrite a script to put his own stamp on it, whether it is a simple polish for dialogue or a complete overhaul to meet his creative needs. Whatever the reason, doing this will be difficult without the ability to write.
Visual Storytelling
The written word on the scripts page is the start, but ultimately the filmmaker has to translate those words to images. To do this, he must be able to tell a story visually. Many film students start out making silent films. The reason for this is to teach them how to convey the action onscreen without words. The audience should have an idea of what is happening onscreen, even if the characters arent speaking. Dialogue and music will ultimately enhance a film, but cannot save a picture if it is visually confusing.
Communication
Making a film is virtually impossible to do on your own. You have to manage actors, camera operators, sound technicians and editors at minimum. The larger the film, the more moving parts you must manage. Successfully navigating different workers - each with his or her own ideas, methods and egos - requires strong communication skills. You have to successfully convey your vision to each of them to ensure it ends up reflected in the finished film.
Technical Expertise
It's not uncommon for a creative person to have no interest in the technical side of things. This does not work for a filmmaker, however, as his idea of John bursts through the door may be totally different from the director of photographs. You don't need to know every moving part of a camera, a light filter or a boom microphone. However, you do need to know how to frame and light a shot and be able to recognize when sound levels are off. If you don't have the know-how to do these things, the finished product will not be your complete vision.

Hi Akhil,
College has its own criteria of admission. Some might just take an interview, while others conduct an aptitude test to see how suitable you are for the course.
