Well, as per my research, IIMC Jammu doesn't offer PG Diploma in Hindi Journalism. It only offers PG Diploma in English Journalism as per the official website. And, hence, it's easier to say that the institute's entire focus is on teaching just one programme. i.e. PG Diploma in English Journalism. And, all the recruiters for IIMC Jammu placements come to hire from the follwoing programme only.
