MMC Eligibility

The primary eligibility criterion for a Masters in Mass Communication is a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognised university, typically with a minimum aggregate score of 50%. This makes the field accessible to students from diverse academic backgrounds, including arts, commerce, and science.

Majority of the universities do not require a prior degree in either Media or even Journalism which also helps students who are coming from non-media backgrounds. Admission is generally based on an entrance exam, which assesses general knowledge, aptitude, and writing skills rather than subject-specific knowledge, ensuring a level playing field for all applicants. 

The eligibility criteria for to MMC (Master of Mass Communication) course are as follows:

• The candidate must have completed their graduation from a recognised university with at least 50% - 60% aggregate marks.

• The candidate should have a keen interest in mass communication and media.

In addition to the above, some colleges may also have their own specific eligibility criteria, such as requiring a minimum of 55% or 60% aggregate marks, or requiring the candidate to have passed a qualifying entrance exam.
