Mass Communication & Media

Though Journalism is a world away from what we used to see many years ago, it is still equally significant for society, and now that there are many ways to consume the content, the market of Journalism is constantly expanding. 
People still look for news channels and newspapers for any events happening or for follow-ups on a case. The core objective of Journalism is the same for society and industries, and it is still equally relevant.

Of course, being a Bachelor of Journalism student doesn't mean your career possibilities are limited to only media houses. It depends on your career choice, which industry will be suitable for you. For example, if you want to pursue a career in Photography, then Event Management, Advertising, Digital Marketing, Entertainment, and so on fields are open for you.

Around 40 Bachelor Communication & Media colleges in India offer the Bachelor of Journalism degree program. Among them, around 3-4 colleges accept CUET exam scores, and the remaining institutes provide admission on a merit-based system. So, the selection criteria for the Bachelor of Journalism course are primarily merit-based.

I believe it depends on whether you're interested in the Journalism field or not. A Bachelor of Journalism course is a theory-based program, including subjects like Media Ethics & Laws, Types of Journalism, Indian Politics, Geography, Photography, etc. So, if you have made up your mind about pursuing your career in this industry, it won't be hard for you to study these subjects.
