Can I do a PG Diploma in journalism and mass communication right after completing class 12th or do I need a Bachelor's degree for the same?

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.
