I'm BCA student and I'm going to do Masters in journalism. What should I do?

Hi! It is time you put your worries aside, because journalism colleges welcome all - irrespective of which subject you studied during your graduation. To begin with you need to keep a close check on the form dates of all the good colleges which offer post graduation in journalism. For starters, Indian Institute of Mass Communication, Symbiosis (Pune), Jamia Millia Islamia, Times School of Journalism (Delhi), Asian College of Journalism (Chennai) and St. Xavier's College (Mumbai) are some of the best ones in India. There are others like Makhan Lal Chaturvedi University (Bhopal/Noida), Aligarh Muslim University and Banaras Hindu University - but despite having big names in the country, these universities aren't a good match for those students who are on a look out of placements. The ones I mentioned as good offer placements with decent salary packages. Moreover, all you need to have handy is English/Hindi (whichever language you prefer) stronghold and current affairs on your tips. Some college entrances ask very basic Maths questions and history of media - which can be studied from any competitive book (I guess it was Arihant Publications is the best one). Good Luck!

Hi Snehal! Journalism is a great career choice in today's era of communication and technology. You will have to appear for a general aptitude test so you need to practice mathematics (till 10th standard), logical reasoning and English language. You will also need to read a lot of newspapers and be aware of the current affairs and general knowledge. Updating your knowledge about the media industry and its famous personalities is equally important. You can find a list of top colleges offering Masters in journalism on this link <a href="https://www.shiksha.com/mass-communication-media/articles/top-10-mass-communication-colleges-to-join-at-pg-level-blogId-8790" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.shiksha.com/mass-communication-media/articles/top-10-mass-communication-colleges-to-join-at-pg-level-blogId-8790</a>
