Mass Communication

This question needs two submissions from the student's side:
1. what are the academic or educational credentials of the person?
2. Based on what skills, expertise, experience and appearance does the aspiring video jockey wants to claim the job?
Answer by assuming that the person is having some substantial education like graduation or something which makes him or her a literate person. I shall not recommend the observation that even an illiterate person can become an VJ. So proper education, excellent language skills in the targeted or demanded language, fluency in speaking, sense of humor and courtesy, improvisation in the live speech, no fear of stage or acting along with an impressive and pleasant personality. Proper training and exposure to the camera and presenting oneself to camera and audience in a live mode needed. Some good videos are already available and shared on Youtube and participating in regular RJ and VJ Hunts will also open possible jobs. Now comes the salary part:
No final word can be given on this. It may be thousands or even Lacs per month for someone who works with a reputed brand of a channel. Who starts as a fresher may get to the average package of the industry as given to other media profiles. I repeat, no final word on salary from my side.

Hello Sanjukta!
To be honest, there are many things you've to keep in mind. If you're applying for St. Xavier's College, then you need to know the Eligibility criteria. Then comes the second one - The admission test. For the admission test, you need to prepare it , thoroughly (if you are serious about it). They follows the question pattern, which consists of MCQs, Identify, Essays. It's of 100 marks. Now here, comes the twist. The first part consists of objectives. Those are very tricky. You need to know about foreign movies, books, directors, and all other media related questions. Also be prepare with current affairs as well. Then comes the second part of the question, which includes creative writing. If you're good in English and have good flow in writing new things, then it will be easy for you.
You can get the last year's question paper online.
Follow the questions and get knowledge regarding movies, books, music as much as you can. And lastly, all the best for your boards. Don't panic, things will set, eventually!

Admission for BA in Journalism from DU is done on merit basis and admission for BJMC in IPU is done on the basis of Common Entrance Tests which you have to qualify and once you qualify the same, it will further lead to counselling in which you will select your college/institute on the basis of credit scored. Forms will be available from last week of January or mid-February. BA in Journalism is offered at Maharaja Agarsen College located in Mayur Vihar which is affiliated to Delhi University and I must say they do a nice job in creating journalists. Talking about Mass Communication, it is a wide field which includes Film Making, Advertising, Public Relations, Event Management, Radio Journalism, etc. So, I would suggest that you go for mass communication instead of specific BA in Journalism as it will benefit you in post graduation and finding a better job.
