Dear Usha, Both LPU and Amity are good but LPU is in Punjab not in Delhi. Moreover, LPU is a very good university for the Journalism course. LPU is best for pursuing a B.A. (Journalism and Mass Communication) and M.A. As my cousin completed his degree last year. The programme is designed to expose students to all dimensions of Print, Electronic, and New Age Media. As we all know, Mass Communication is a medium of dispersing information to many people. The term is not limited to only journalism but spreads its branches to various other media fields including newsgathering and reporting, film direction and production, event management, public relations, advertising, corporate communication, and the list continues. So, pursuing the degree from such an institute of repute is the need of an hour. Addressing your query, LPU offers more than 250 programmes out of which mass communication is high in demand. One of my nieces took admission to LPU and told me that the course is designed to expose students to all dimensions of Print, Electronic, and New Age Media. The focus is on enhancing technical skills of reporting, news design software, video editing, photography, etc. The focus is on
1. Better student-teacher interaction through mentoring sessions
2. Orientation of curricular content for enhancing employability
3. Opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities for achieving all-around development. 4. Moocs
5. Curriculum benchmarked against renowned global institutions
Career prospects are Journalists/Correspondents: Reporters, Editors/ Sub- Editors/ Assistant Editors Public, Relations Executives, Event Managers, Photojournalists, NewsMakers, Academicians and FilmMakers
Companies which have visited as of now are: Hindustan Times, Indian Express, The Hindu, Dainik Jagran, Dainik Bhaskar, The Tribune, Times Now, CNN IBN, ABP News, India TV, NDTV India, Zee News, India Today and Outlook
Hope this helps. Thanks!
