Nose for news is the most important requirement to go ahead with Journalism and Mass Communication as a career. Good communication skills, writing skills, ideation and confidence follow. And rest, there are innumerable things that you'll learn while studying journalism and even on job.

Hi Ramesh,
For the same, you can try looking at MICA. Frankly, I don't know about this institute you mentioned, hence I will not be right for me to comment about them.

Hi, Vlogging is the next big thing in India. In fact, already close to being the next being thing. With social media and internet controlling our daily lives and TV taking a back seat, Vlogs giving genuine reviews/creating innovative content have made way into our lives. In fact, Vlogging can be pursued as a side business along with any main stream profession that you might like to stick with. This being said, full-time Vlogging is definitely a career option.

Hi, I wouldn't really suggest a distance learning course in Print & TV journalism - because it wouldn't give you the desired practical knowledge, which is a must. Journalists aren't paid really well - so if you're expecting engineer/doctor-like salaries, this isn't for you. But that being said, you'll be able to have a decent living with the remuneration they're given.

Doing a full time media management Masters or PG course itself is very demanding and engaging, and you may not be in a position to do any other course. However, a course related to the creative content development side (digital film making, digital marketing communication content, branded content, advertising copy and creative production, social media content production, creative writing, etc. ). Can be useful add on skills and courses along with media management.

Media Management is a management skills based education in the domain of media initiatives, such as newspapers, digital media properties, television channel, radio station, film business, events and PR business, or advertising and branding business. The media industry is of 1.55 lacs crores and is worth 1.35% of the GDP and hence it is worthwhile to do a course in media management if you are focused on creative media business role ahead.

I do not very much suggest this as distance education cannot be hands-on and practical. However, if you are already working and do not have time for full time course, and need the degree for the sake of promotion etc. , then fine. In any case, at least go for either full time or a blended one with distance and face to face combined.

There are many jobs available in different fields of Mass comm. but it depends on you. That in which field you want to go. Because there are specific field in Mass Com, choose and think in what kind of work you are good. Writing, speaking etc. And choose accordingly. Print Media, Electronic or Online Media.

No, Mass Communication is not necessary. You can do any Diploma or a part time course for this, otherwise Training and internship in any advertising company will also work.
All the best.
