Mass Communication & Media

Bachelor Degree in mass comm. From distance learning is offered by numberless institutions and universities all over India and even abroad. There are online certifications as well. We need to give it a balanced view rather than simply rejecting one or approving.
Distance education is meant to substitute the absence of regular education of any Degree when the learner is, for all valid reasons, unable to pursue regular studies. Secondly, distance education is a better option when one already has skills to work with along with some experience as well.
Going by the description shared above, this is suggested that a distance learning degree in mass media (as well as any skill based and skill oriented course/subject) shall be avoided as much as possible.
This is also to be accepted that distance education has more failures in its credit in India. Just a couple of days back, Haryana Government terminated the services of those who did a technical degree through distance mode. It was as per Supreme Court ruling.
I wish to suggest that if possible, do this course as a regular student and from a good institution.

Hi, The Mass Communication & Videography (MCV) department was founded in 1996. Since 2006 (autonomy), the MCV dept. has steadily worked towards formulating a holistic syllabus for the taught course, keeping the pressing needs of 'audio- visual' literacy in the changing times in mind.
The Department of Mass Communication and Videography provides in-depth knowledge of cinema and media to the students. The department boasts of faculty who are a combination of academic as well as professional experts. Almost all the regular professors are doing their Ph.D and others have won national awards in various fields like cinematography, sound designing and documentary filmmaking.
Those from the last batch who are not pursuing any PG courses and those who have completed there PG courses, most of them are working in the television, advertising & film industries (viz, NDTV, CNN-IBN, AajTak, Zee Network, Star Network, Sony Entertainment; Percept, JWT, O&M etc.) either as trainees/assistants or as full-time journalists, programme producers, production executives, technical experts, independent filmmakers, etc.

At NIU, an integral part of the career development programme is placement, which is undertaken by the Corporate Resource Center and Placement Cell (CRCP). The CRCP prepares the students for a successful future and not merely a job.
The placement process is manifold. It includes personality development, gap identification, mock interview, pre- placement counseling, CV formation, and live projects and internships. During their academic tenure the students go through a well planned rigorous course curriculum along with real life practical trainings and internships in reputed research institutes and/or corporate houses.
The academic curriculum is so structured that it requires the students to undergo a mandatory summer internship of 6-8 weeks with reputed organizations. The internship helps the students to apply their classroom learning of theoretical concepts to real life management settings. This process enables to sharpen their ability to diagnose, analyze and resolve problems. The option of short term live projects with leading companies is also provided to the students. This runs parallel to their academic sessions and gives them valuable insight into the workings of the industry.
At NIU, the focus is on the overall development of an individual. This is achieved by the CRCP, which lays a lot of emphasis on grooming and helps each student refine his/her communication and behavioral skills, thereby making them good fits for the industry. The academic environment takes advantage of the world class, state of the art infrastructure provided at NIU. Not to be left behind are the immense opportunities for extracurricular activities, leading to the holistic growth of each individual.
Since its inception, NIU continues to maintain a consistently impressive placement record. It has been able to assist students to pursue careers in their dream companies and become successful leaders. It continues to do so each year, moving from strength to strength surely and consistently.

Hi!
It is time you put your worries aside, because journalism colleges welcome all - irrespective of which subject you studied during your graduation. To begin with you need to keep a close check on the form dates of all the good colleges which offer post graduation in journalism. For starters, Indian Institute of Mass Communication, Symbiosis (Pune), Jamia Millia Islamia, Times School of Journalism (Delhi), Asian College of Journalism (Chennai) and St. Xavier's College (Mumbai) are some of the best ones in India. There are others like Makhan Lal Chaturvedi University (Bhopal/Noida), Aligarh Muslim University and Banaras Hindu University - but despite having big names in the country, these universities aren't a good match for those students who are on a look out of placements.
The ones I mentioned as good offer placements with decent salary packages. Moreover, all you need to have handy is English/Hindi (whichever language you prefer) stronghold and current affairs on your tips. Some college entrances ask very basic Maths questions and history of media - which can be studied from any competitive book (I guess it was Arihant Publications is the best one).
Good Luck!

The placements of MJMC from BCACS are good. Almost all students get placed while the placement sessions. Companies such as Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail Ltd. (Madura Fashion), Aditya Birla Retail Ltd, Amazon India P Ltd, Dainik Jagran and many more, visit the campus to hire students. The students passed out from Balaji College of Arts, Commerce and Science are well-groomed young leaders that will definitely prove an asset to any organisation where they may pursue their careers because they had worked day and night exercising their mind and investing their time to draw strategies for marketing the institutes, the students and ensuring successful campus placements despite the slow-down in the placement market globally.
The college also helps students getting the required internships to help them flourish in their careers.

I am doubtful if you will have placement opportunities from anywhere after completing Bachelors in Journalism and Mass Communication (BJMC) because only exceptional cases get through media jobs after completing their BJMC course from a college in India. Personally, I am an alumnus of Technia Institute of Advanced Studies (IP University)- Batch 2010-13, and the only placement company that I remember coming in is Naukri.Com - which I am apologetic to mention is not a media company. But many students did take the opportunity anyway - since not everybody wants to go into media after course completion.
What I suggest is that one should start preparing for postgraduate colleges of Journalism as soon as they enter the third year of their graduation college. Because only a good post-graduate college can get you a good job - until (obviously) if you are exceptionally good at what you do and a media house hand picks you during your summer/winter internship.
