Hi, Yes, every student can pursue Journalism studies after 12th. AFCOS, New Delhi is the hub for most of existing media houses. However, it does not mean that you can have good institutes to study journalism and mass communication. Few things you should keep on your mind prior to proceed for Journalism degree. Do they have an experienced faculty (Faculty must have expertise in theory and practical both). Do they have Adequate/appropriate equipment to make you expert in handling them? Do they have Audio/Video studio to teach them practically. Are they running any Media house? Do they provide the platform to you for doing practices? Do they have such atmosphere where you can have an experience to perform practically? Do they have Industrial Tie-ups? Do they provide Teachings from external experts? LPU is coming on my mind because they do provide all above mentioned salient features. LPU is producing smart and Intelligent journalists. Not only journalists you can find LPU journalism students at various sectors of Media and Entertainment. For e.g.: I know one LPU Student who got placed as a Celebrity Manager in T-series. LPU provides teaching by Doctorate faculty along with the handful practical study by experienced professionals.
