Hi, There are some good universities and Media houses both for getting Journalism education and job respectively. Better you should become a mature journalist. INDIA is a big platform to learn Journalism and its ethics. Few things you should keep on your mind prior to proceed for Journalism degree; Do they have a 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. Now 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 eg: 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. LPU has Adequate/appropriate equipment which they use on regular basis for making their children well trained even practically. LPU have separate Professional Audio and Large size Video Studio. Where as Multimedia and Animation adds on the spark to the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. LPU provides many platforms to their students to compete or perform even at National level events. Like National Media fests and other prestigious competitions. One of the LPU student won DADA SAHEB PHALKE AWARD few years ago. LPU has such a beautiful atmosphere where student can attempt to shootings or they can make short movies or documentaries. In fact LPU students get opportunity work practically in many of the LIVE Concerts held at LPU. University has their own Narrow Casting News Channel and Web Tv where students work as volunteer and few are on job taring. LPU has many Tie-Ups with prominent Media Houses. In fact many experts like Film directors, writes, Film Producers, Renowned Photographers, Renowned Journalists visits on regular basis. Online admissions are already open, one can proceed through there website. Aspirants can also call them on their toll free number. I hope this will be helpful to you.
