Hi, the procedure to get admission in BA in mass communication program in India may differ depending on the institution you choose. A college provides admission on either entrance exams scores or merit system, so you will need to check the admission criteria first and then check for the eligibility requirements and ensure fulfilling them.
After this, you'll fill out the application form for the college or exam, submit documents, and pay the application fee. Now, the college will verify your application and send you a confirmation mail (if selected), and entrance exam candidates will appear for the test.

If you know after class 10 that you want to be a data analyst, the best choice at school is to choose a stream that keeps your math and computing options open usually Science with Mathematics or Commerce with Mathematics/Statistics. Both paths provide the quantitative foundation (algebra, probability, statistics, logical reasoning) needed for analytics work. After 12th grade, you can pursue a degree like BSc (Maths/Statistics/Computer Science), BCA, or BBA with a focus on analytics, and you can also begin professional training alongside it.

A very popular choice for this is the IIM SKILLS Data Analytics Master Course. It's designed for beginners to advance, offered live online with offline-style interaction, and it includes the complete analytics toolkit Excel, SQL, Python, Power BI, Tableau, statistics, and predictive analytics along with various case studies and a capstone project. Upon successful completion, you receive an industry-recognized certificate, and as part of the program, they offer a paid six-month internship where you work on real assignments and a structured 100% job-placement assistance programme (resume building, interview preparation, recruiter connections). This combination of the right stream after class 10, a relevant degree after class 12, and an intensive programme like IIM SKILLS provides you with the academic foundation, practical skills, internship experience, and placement support to step directly into a data analyst position and advance further in analytics or data science.
