Hi Eric,Many colleges in India offer a BA in Journalism. Some also have a B.Sc in Journalism and Mass Communication. Similarly, at the Masters level, an MA or an MS in Communication are the degrees awarded. To become a journalist, one can complete a Bachelor's in mass communication/ mass media/journalism after class 12th. After completion in a related graduation field, one may complete a Master's in journalism or mass communication. However, it is not mandatory to do a Masters in journalism in order to get a job. In fact, the best way to learn journalism is by getting on the field. Those who want to get a better understanding of various communication theories, research techniques and an in-depth knowledge of various other fields related to communication, Master's degree is advisable.

Dear Jaitr,
Though Delhi University (DU) had intended to start its five-year integrated course on journalism from this academic session, the journalism programme has not even shortlisted its candidates. This at a time the academic session for the rest of the courses are about to enter the second month. The admission process for journalism, currently in its registration stage, will conduct the entrance test on September 17 and admit candidates between September 23 and 25. The coordinators have received close to 1,500 admission applications from students, who have mostly managed to get a seat in different programmes and courses across DU and private universities such as GGSIPU confirmed a senior admission committee official. As a result of delay in starting the programme, admission committee officials admitted that the course will experience some problems.
