    hi,

    If you aspire to become a news anchor with a B.Sc degree and 54%, you can still pursue your dream with the right steps. Consider enrolling in a diploma or postgraduate course in journalism or mass communication to build relevant skills. Focus on improving communication, voice modulation, and on-camera presence. Internships with news channels or media houses can provide valuable experience. Build a strong portfolio through campus media, YouTube, or podcasts. Confidence, clarity, and current affairs knowledge are key. With dedication and the right training, your academic background won't limit your success as a news anchor.
