Does IIT offer journalism? and if yes what is the rank and the marks required for it

Shefali, There are 2 kinds of careers - based on understanding of theory or based on practice of theory. All right brained activities including sports a&amp; creative career lie in the latter domain. For careers that are based on practice of your skills, degrees become irrelevant and in fact come in your way of acquiring knowledge. All govts across the world have designed structures on how degrees can be provided. These structures for e.g. UGC in India accredit the colleges for following the rules. and these rules stipulate a minimum qualification for the teachers. It is here where the fault line lies. All masters of their arts whether sportsmen, musicians or directors, spend all their time honing their passions in their own ways &amp; learn from other masters in their art. And the people who do not do well in their art end up doing the higher degrees &amp; become teachers in the colleges. Now this means that the best people are left out of the education system. Hence there is a need for studenrs of art to enter mentoring programs to hone their skills. Alternatively they can learn in diplomas which allow for anyone to teach as long as they are good in their art. Now this freedom does make the learner's task difficult as ungoverned academies have to be judged directly by the students. So be careful while choosing a mentor or an institute. You could do well to create a list of places you may want to learn at, whether they are in your city or not. Then go to their websites and research about them, &amp; even call them and talk to them. Try their website for more details. Typically go for a school which offers all the information including faculty on their website. Now shortlist some you want to visit. Do not hesitate to travel - this is about your life and career. After visiting those take a decision for yourself. Even if you have to travel to timbuctoo or chandigarh for that matter, it is important for your life, so do it.

Shefali, no there is no journalism curriculum in IIT. There are several careers in media in writing, production or post production. you can become a reporter, actor or getting behind the camera to direct, cinematograph or do finishing work as an editor, compositor or a VFX artist who can add reality to 3D vizualizations. you may even be a graphic artist who designs the screens, or an animator who brings stories to life as a proxy actor for onscreen characters. you can get into production, whether live or animated. You can be a story writer who writes for live and animated screens or even roll the story into a video/ pc game. you can be a script writer who would stop at nothing to give wonderful scene setups to bring the story to life. you could be an artist who designs characters or who storyboards the film for live or animated performance. you can also double up as a voice over artist who gives his/ her voice to the characters or dub for movie stars, or even be a radio star. you can alternatively look at web for a web of careers in web design, online marketing, search engine optimization, content writing, social media promoting. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, vfx, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world &amp; hence may earn in dollars - resulting in better rewards for designers.

Some people are passionate about acting - they must understand that acting cannot provide jobs since this is an assignment based industry and one must fit the role. So it could be better to enter this industry after acquiring a technical skill. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion &amp; expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.
