Hi Sanjib!
You can pursue a Masters course in Journalism and Mass Communication. A candidate who is a graduate in any discipline is eligible to apply for this course. You will have to appear for an aptitude test though, which will determine your admission in a specific college or University.

Hi Amith!
Mass Communication builds a foundation for becoming a director. It teaches you camera, editing, script writing etc. Which are essential for a director to know. Once you complete your graduation, you can enroll yourself in a specialised course for film direction.

Photography is a very different and exiting career to pursue. I have seen some great career prospects for people aiming for photography degree. I have heard of Symbiosis School of Photography as a very good college providing three year full time degree course. You can register and submit your enquires through this link http://bit.ly/SSP_pune. Hope this was helpful.

CSE will definitely offer you better job prospects but Opt for the engineering branch that you love the most and are most passionate about and analyze the future work conditions, scope and growth prospects before taking admission
You can also opt for psychometric test comprising of Aptitude, personality and career interest to clear confusion.

B.Sc graduates in Visual Communication are hired in capacities such as:

Once you gather more experience and expertise in this field, you will move up in the hierarchy and chances of becoming a director becomes that much more feasible.
