Journalism

Dear Poulomi,
If you are already pursuing a Master's degree and don't want to pursue long term course again, then the best option for you is to get yourself enrolled into short term media courses. You can also do these courses simultaneously by enrolling yourself into online courses available for mass communication.

Opt for what you wish to do in the future. Speak to students who are studying both. Make a note of the pros and cons of both. Know the scope they have and then make a call.

Pursuing journalism is a good idea. To become a journalist for print media or electronic media does not require a specific degree but specific skill set, personality and interest. However, a degree in mass communication will take you closer to your target and you would understand better the requirements of becoming a journalist.
Specifically, there are 391 institutes in India who offer a degree or diploma in journalism. I am providing you a link of https://Shiksha.com where you can find out the institute of your interest in your town or nearest to your town:-

Dear Diya,
The minimum percentage which almost all colleges look for is 50% in 12th standard. And now a days, almost all colleges and universities conduct entrance tests and on the basis of the same, the intake process of students is decided.
So do good in CBSE and then start preparing for entrance tests.
All the best!
