Hi dear,
If you really know writing and the skills of storytelling then, there is no need to have a degree in mass communication. Even now there are a number of stringers who are working for news channels and newspapers but they don't have any degree. That doesn't mean they are not reporters. They are doing well and the organisations are paying well as like other ones. But some organisations have a procedure for appointment of reporter. They can ask for a professional degree in Journalism Field. So don't worry, you can fulfill the degree formalities through distance mode and just join any organisation as intern first. Then with your experience and skills, after few months or half year, they will appoint you as reporter or correspondent in organisation and will start paying you salary.

Dear,
It would be good if you take admission in IIMC, but as per my experience. It really doesn't matter a degree or course from brand especially in professional courses. Just check the data of journalism and mass communication industry. How many are from IIMC? Then only you will come to know the real fact of our industry. Name doesn't matter. If your basic fundamentals are strong, you are good in writing, and technically sound, then it's really easy to grab the opportunities in market. You can achieve the higher level only just because of your hard work and your skills and your practical exposure of industry.
Even many of us guys are doing from distance and joining as intern in any news channel, newspaper and other one stream. Because after the three years, you have degree plus three years real industry experience. But if you admit with any campus on regular basis then only you will have degree and market will treat you as fresher only like others. So just think first. Then if you again have any doubt then let me know.

Hello Dear,
Actually, there are few universities who offer degree in specialised Advertising Area I. e. GJUS&T, Hisar. But now they merged their department with mass communication. But no issue you can do PG Diploma courses from number of institute or campuses. Even there is no need to do a separate degree or Diploma in advertising. If you already have done graduation or Masters in mass communication, then you should join as intern in any ad agency and try to get exposure of real advertising industry. That only thing can give your real practical exposure of advertising.
No one campus can give you real advertising exposure. Because each and every campus always follow the syllabi pattern of universities, and they teach you as accordingly. So as per my experience, you can start a PG Diploma from any institute or university on distance mode and you should join as intern in any ad agency, if you are really interested for advertising.
