Can I do a mass communication course after 10th? I have not yet completed my 12th.

Yes, you can. But, there are a very low number of courses and they are too with less chance of a good job.

Some institutes are known to offer Diploma and certificate courses to 10th passed students though. The quality and validity of such Diploma courses are questionable. Ultimately, such courses are not very useful, when it comes to finding a job using them! Hence, it is better to complete 11th and 12th standard and then pursue a good (and recognised) mass communication course.

You can do it after completing class 12th. Mass Communication and Journalism is a 3-year course pursued after the successful completion of the 10+2 level (any stream) of education from a recognized educational Board with a minimum aggregate score of 50%. The course focuses on ideas and outlets of mass communication such as media production, cultural issues, communication theories, regulations, and media techniques stream. The course generally provides teaching and training regarding reporting, writing, editing, photographing etc. Students can opt. For specializations in various fields of journalism such as Sports Journalism, Science Journalism, Environment Journalism, Fashion Journalism, Film Making, Advertising, Corporate Communications, Advertising Agencies, Books, and Novels, All India Radio, Photography Companies, Broadcasting Corporations, Press Information Bureau, Radio Telecasting Companies, TV Channels, Websites etc. I am enlisting a few good colleges which are known for their quality education and for providing better career opportunities. Institutes are:Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) Delhi Indian Institute of Journalism & New Media, Bangalore (IIJNM) Xavier's Institute of Communication (XIC), Mumbai Lovely Professional University (LPU) Punjab School of Social Science, University of Solapur Delhi University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, BHU Department of Communication and Journalism, Pune Asian College of Journalism (ACJ) Symbiosis Institute of Mass Communication (SIMC), Pune AJ Kidwai Mass Communication Research Centre (AJKMCRC) Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad (MICA Asian College of Journalism (ACJ).

Hi Nikhil, Most of the professional mass communication courses can only be pursued after completing 12th standard. 10+2 passed (from any stream- arts, commerce or science) is the minimum educational qualification required to pursue standard mass communication courses. Some institutes are known to offer Diploma and certificate courses to 10th passed students though. The quality and validity of such Diploma courses are questionable. Ultimately, such courses are not very useful, when it comes to finding a job using them! Hence, it is better to complete 11th and 12th standard and then pursue a good (and recognised) mass communication course.
