Mass Communication & Media

Dear Rashi,
In reality, there are no differences between BA and B.Sc in mass communication. It is a matter of affiliation or approved course for the subject by the colleges and universities. As per me, each and every institution and university has its own course design and syllabus for Journalism and Mass Communication courses. So, don't confuse between these BA and B.Sc if you want to do Mass Communication course.

Hi Sonali!
There is, of course, no certainty where will you be placed. But a Diploma from Xavier's holds a great value in the market. If you are too keen on having a job in Goa after the completion of your course, I would suggest you to not rely on college placements alone. Rather, make your own efforts and do your own research for the organisations that are there in Goa. Find your relevant profile and apply for it.

Hi Ankit,
Xavier Institute of Communication is the best college in Mumbai for a PGD in advertising and marketing course. Apart from this, there is Peal Academy, EMDI Institute and Livewires Media Institute which are also good options in Mumbai.

Hi Priyanka,
The admissions are based on your marks obtained in the 10th and 12th standard. I don't think there is an age limit for a PGD programme. Still, I would suggest you to contact the college for precise information.

Hi Rahul,

Your Percentage does not matter in taking the decision. If you are interested in News reporting and field related to News channel, Newspaper, Magazines, etc. You should go for Journalism. However if you are more interested towards Production work of the media industry then you should definitely opt for Film Making. What your main interest is will only define what you should opt for.

Talking about the placements, there is a dedicated training and placement office which is actively helping students get placed and make their careers. Placements for mass communication wing is good and improving a lot. Also, students need to be aware of their part for the opportunities they get while covering the studies. Best of luck.

Hi Vikas,
See, Diploma in journalism, first of all, in AMU is on-campus that means no distance learning is offered.
Secondly, if you want to make a career in journalism and print media then a post-graduate degree in journalism is required.
Talking about the qualities, one should have a curious mind, will power, an aptitude for presenting information in a precise, concise and effective manner. It's well and good that you have decided your goals, just set out the path and travel on those and there are many people who will guide you to help you reach your goals.
Best of luck.
