Hi, Journalism to Public Relations, a student can opt for any field she/he likes. The scope of mass communication in India is wide, if you can do well in your field, you can work with some of the best publishing houses, production houses, news channels, radio channels or PR firms of the country. A Journalist earns an average salary of Rs 346,511 per year. Pay for this job rises steadily for more experienced workers, but goes down noticeably for the few employees with more than 20 years' experience. Most people with this job move on to other positions after 20 years in this career. List of the highest paid Indian news anchors:
* Arnab Goswami. - Advertisement. * Rajdeep Sardesai - Rajdeep earns almost Rs. 85 Lacs per month. * Barkha Dutt - Barkha earns a yearly salary of Rs.3.6 crore, with her recurrent income more than Rs. 30 Lacs. * Sudhir Chaudhary - Sudhi earns Rs. 25 Lacs per month (approximately Rs. 3 crores yearly package). Thank you.

Hi,
Here are the advantages I can think of :
1. You're at a sweet spot in terms of competition. The culture isn't as competitive as IITs but way better than local engineering campuses.
2. You get as many opportunities to learn as you get in any IITs
3. Education is cheaper. Practically Free. In some cases even cheaper than IITs although if the recent bills are passed the cost is likely to rise.
4. Lot of scholarship opportunities - both merit and need based. There are few student grants also.
5. Placement statistics of top NITs are at least comparable to that of IITs
6. Most NITs are located far from Mega Cities unlike IITs. This has unique advantages (and disadvantages too). Our NIT has a private beach of its own. You just cannot beat it.
7. Since the peer group isn't as good as IIT and NITs follow relative grading too it is easier to get better grades at NITs. And since the opportunities available are comparable to IITs it's harder for talent to get unnoticed. The performance pressure and expectations is also lower which is very helpful.
8. Some NITs have much better hostels. I have seen IIT KGP, IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras hostels. NITK's hostel is much better than all those. New NITs had their hostel constructed recently. Thus it's equipped with modern facilities. Thank you.
