Mass Communication & Media

Hii Aniruddha,
Well, when it comes to Mass Communication, the first and foremost thing that you need to keep in your mind is that you should be aware of the daily happenings of the world. Your General Knowledge and Current affairs must be in good control. More over you should start working on the platform you are willing to work in the future. You will be asked few questions in which you need to give the answers in not less than 500 words which is required by every individual applying for admissions. Then comes is the Group Discussion and the Personal Interview in which your personality needs to be well good and the attitude and confidence needs to be strong enough. The people here judge you on your capabilities of doing field works.

Then take part in various movie making contests. This is how you build a profile.
6) Put your work on Youtube or other networking websites and let it go viral.

8) The most important point is "Do not give up on your dream". Keep trying until you achieve your goal.

Hi Vikrant,

Important: Admission in the majority of colleges in India is merit-based. However, few universities like Rai University considers the scores of entrance test for admission to the programme. For example, Rai University considers the scores of national and state level entrance exams and Kushabhau Thakre University conducts their own entrance exam.
