Types in journalism mean different fields of journalism that are independent of each other generally, they use different pedagogy and research methods, for e. g. Investigative Journalism, Feature Writing Column Writing, etc. While beats can be called subsets of different types of journalism, A beat is a journalism means going in-depth in any type of journalism, for e. g. Business Magazines, Weather, Computer Virus Alerts, Entertainment, TV Network Schedules, Local News Resources, Government Directories, Horoscopes, Money, Personal Health Site, Politics, PR Newswires, Social Media, Sports News and much more. The term beat is referred to as the way or road taken by an individual on a regular basis. In journalism, the word Beat is also referred to as the niche which is appointed to the reporter.

I don't know about the AAFT University but I can share my views on LPU. Lovely Professional University is one of the best universities in the country with world-class infrastructure, modern facilities and highly qualified faculty from IITs, IIITs, NITs, etc. The university is having tie-ups with many foreign universities and reputed companies thus facilitating higher education abroad and good placements respectively for their students. Not only this, but the university has also set up high-tech labs for the benefit of students. The university provides scholarships and study/education loan assistance to the students.
LPU provides ample opportunities to each and every eligible student to secure good placement. In my view, LPU is the best option as it provides best opportunities for students. The learning approach includes live projects, Industrial visits, workshops, etc. Also, they have well equipped labs and studios for cinematography, editing and film and TV production. You can join films and television industry as an assistant director, Cinematographer, Editor, Script Writer and Lighting Expert. Other opportunities include working in entertainment industry as Advertisement Manager, Promo Producer and Marketing Manager. Admission for session 2020 has been started.

Hi Priyanka,
First of all, it's perfectly natural to be confused as to which course is the right one for you after Grade 12. You can begin by looking at the courses available online across different universities and SEE which ones interest you and identify the ones that you would definitely not want to opt for. In your question, I see that you have been able to identify Mass Communication as your area of interest, which is great. You can now have a look at the modules that are typically taught during an undergraduate Mass Communication course. For instance, at IILM University Gurugram, we offer B.A. (Hons) Journalism, Media and Communication course and the programme includes subjects that vary from Introduction to Journalism, Media and Communication, Reporting and Editing for Print, Media and Cultural Studies, Broadcast Media, Advertising and Public Relations, New Media, Media Ethics to Law and Global Media and Politics. (https://iilm.edu.in/course/ba-hons-journalism-media-and-communication).
In addition to this, Liberal Education at IILM University Gurugram allows you to combine subjects across different disciplines during your study. So studying B.A. (Hons) Journalism, Media and Communication with a course from Psychology/Management can be possible, thus allowing you to pursue your passion.
