Hi Aastha,
You can opt for any discipline in 10+2 as it will not matter much if you wish to become a news reader. Once you complete your 10+2, you can appear for various entrance exams conducted for mass communication courses. You can see a list of top entrance exams by clicking here:

I would suggest you to pursue MCA after BCA as it is an excellent course with good job opportunities.

If you want to learn to speak in English, then better join American Institute of English Language - AIEL. It is one of the best institutes in India having lots of branches throughout the country.

For preparation of entrance the most important thing is newspaper. Try to follow more than one newspaper to keep updated with the regional and national events respectively. Do follow the books of authors like Keval J. Kumar, Vanita Kohli and Srinivas R. Melkote for better understanding of the subjects.

You really do not need coaching to get into a mass media course in any college. Most of them have a very basic written test (Aptitude, Language and Current Affairs), GD (Group Discussion) (if you pass the first round) and a personal interview. If you read news every day, half of your job is already done. You need to keep reading, watching and be well versed with what is happening in the world. It's really not that difficult.

The placements are going good so far. The placement cell has started and already few students are placed in companies with good reputation. Around 50% students are placed after pursuing this programme.
