Journalism

You can definitely pursue journalism. If applying for Masters, you have to clear and entrance exam based on general knowledge and media and film related subjects.

I would suggest, you should try for some reputed media institutes Like- AJK Jamia Millia Islamia and IIMC, Xavier's College first, if you want to become a journalist.

Hi Geeta!
Yes, if you have successfully completed your 10+2 from a recognised board of education with a minimum of 50% marks, you are very much eligible to apply for the journalism course. Every Institute/University conducts a general aptitude test for the aspiring candidates which determines your final selection. You should start practicing your mathematics (up to 10th standard), analytical skills, English Language and general awareness for the same.

Hi. Normal humanities courses are Classical Studies; English; Interior Design; History; Psychology; Political Science. Many colleges and Universities provide graduation degree in Journalism and Mass Communication along with the optional subjects like history, political science, English, psychology, etc. Amity University generally provides these options. You may raise a query for this.

Sorry, that would not be possible. However, you can check with the desired college in which you want to take admission if they consider the same.

Hi Alwaz,

Hi Alwaz!
It is always better to pursue a degree programme than a Diploma programme. The employers will always give preference to a degree holder over a Diploma holder, especially at Under Graduate level. A graduation degree is recognised by universities for higher education and therefore has more credibility.
