Opting for higher studies won't be that beneficial considering it for Videography. This is a field that requires skills and practical knowledge and not the bookish words to fill your copies. You should always practice more and more and keep your hands still and firmed with your camera, because you will be judged on the basis of your quality of output and how technically strong you are with the video camera. You must keep yourself confident to work on any camera, because normally all the cameras are same it's just that you will have to find the right buttons and play around with the features. If you know how to set a frame, focus on the subject, adjust the lights which is being taught in the very beginning of the classes then I guess no need to pursue higher courses because they will just teach you the same thing. You can become pro by practical knowledge and not just by sitting inside the classes.

Screen writing is the art of creating the story, developing the characters and providing dialogues to the same. Screen writers create the skeletal structure of the movie and provide the basic foundation, which is later imagined and intensified by putting it up on the storyboard and eventually on the film. Scriptwriters are responsible for forming the skeleton that a Director can then add to. They always keep in mind that the beauty of their writing should come from the performance, rather than the writing itself. They come up with ideas, do research and write stories based on their research and personal observations and experiences. Scriptwriters often write original stories, but some adapt from existing novels, films, short stories etc. Scriptwriters are often involved in brainstorming and conceptualizing. This does not mean that they just sit in one spot and try to come up with a concept. As a matter of fact, they are always on the lookout for interesting situations, characters, and concepts that can be a part of their story. Their main job is to come up with an innovative idea or concept, as the rest of the story will be based on this concept. Researching is a very important task that every Scriptwriter has to perform. As Scriptwriters write for visual mediums, they have to have a good idea about the non-fiction side of their story. For example, if a Scriptwriter is writing a story based on the army, he/she will have to research about how people from the army talk, how they walk, what are their houses like, etc.
The most important job for any Scriptwriter in the world is to write. Even though this sounds simple, but this is the task that differentiates between a good and an exceptional writer. It is essential for Scriptwriters to convert their ideas into full-fledged scripts. They have to take their writing as work, and not art. Scriptwriters make sure that they sit every day and write Scenes, Dialogues, and Characters. Once they write their script, they should revise it and look for places scenes which have a scope for improvement. Scriptwriters develop characters and situations that are visually entertaining. How to become a screenwriter? The Bachelor's course in screenwriting can range from a three-year course, with a focus on study in film direction. There is also a one-year Diploma, that focuses entirely on screenwriting. One will learn a lot about screenwriting through experienced teachers.

Hello,
In India, you have a great amount of opportunities if you are pursuing Masters of Planning. Planners have diverse job opportunities available in front of them. Masters of Planning graduates have access to both government as well as private sector job opportunities. But after all, it all depends upon you and your future goals. Since you are more oriented towards government jobs, your chances are more. Various government recruitment agencies are there. Government departments related to urban and town planning, government operated housing schemes, government transportation projects (highways, railways and metros etc.), government construction and rehabilitation projects, PWD job posts, municipal corporation job posts, etc.

The best training for copy-editing is OJT and mentoring. If possible, you should try to get work at a publishing house. For an entry level position, they usually give you some sort of test to see what aptitude you might have for the work, and then give you training.
However, increasingly the opportunities in this field are freelance, and not full-time permanent positions at publishing houses. Indeed, unless you are in a publishing center such as any or Boston, full-time positions may be almost impossible to get. This creates a chicken and egg problem: One cannot get work without having had experience, but one cannot get experience without having had work.
If you are in this bind, then any kind of certification or training you can get will be helpful. One also cannot stress enough the need to start connecting with authors, editors, and people in the publishing industry, as the vast majority of work in this field is unadvertised.
I also agree with Stephanie Fysh's suggestion about not working for free. While it might be worth the trouble to do one or two small projects at a low price for a friend or relative just to get something to put on your resume, there is a whole underclass of writers and editors who are selling themselves short by offering their services for free or at very low rates all the time. They may think that they are building a career that way, but they are only hurting themselves.
In publishing, a serious client will pay a good wage for your labor. One sees on Internet message boards people complaining about not getting paid for a job or being mistreated by a client, and it is nearly all over jobs paying less than $40. However, people who make a serious career from this work generally get paid much more than this unless it is for a very small job, and they generally get paid on time, because they are working for people who are equally as serious about publishing as they are.

The aspirants who completed their B.Arch from a recognised college with at least 55% marks and want to continue their study can go for M.Arch (Masters in Architecture).

Mainly, students who want to become a teacher or professor can do M.Arch course as this course is a detailed study about one subject. One can work in the sectors like construction, urban planning, urban development corporations, public works departments, interior designing, etc.
Government organizations offering jobs to the B.Arch candidates are Archaeological Department, National Building organisation, Ministry of Defense, Departments of Railways, Housing and Urban Development Corporation, Public Works Department, etc. The average starting salary for M.Arch is Rs 6 LPA.

1. You don't need to be a hardcore journalism student to become an editor nowadays, you just need to have a flair for writing. Why do I warrant this is because I did engineering but became an editor later on.
2. Start applying for content writer jobs and you will surely get a job somewhere.
3. After gaining experience for a year or so, you can knock at the door of any newspaper, you stand a chance.
4. Online newspaper or more accurately newsletters are more in demand, so you can try for web content writing in newspapers.
The role has changed over the years in Indian publications, as with the change in the digital media the work procedure and trends has changed. One has to be very active and updated with the news and with online portals you need to keep updating the news on time. There is no time now to keep waiting for the next release and therefore, the roles have changed over the last few years.

A course in direction cannot be done unless you do a Bachelor’s Degree in the film making and production domain. It is made clear merely a certificate course cannot make someone a good editor to claim jobs at the best places.
I shall suggest that when a good job with growing possibilities is there one has to take up the assignment because mass media jobs are the best to do when they come to you. Once the hunt starts, it takes time.

The best way you can start to earn from freelance writing jobs is to start writing some small SEO articles for the buyers on Indian freelancing websites like worknhire or contentmart. Worknhire is the best website for beginners because anyone can easily get a work of writing SEO articles that will pay you around Rs. 100-250/- for writing a 500-1000 words article. Once you become acquainted with your writing skills, then you can shift to some of the international websites that should pay you way higher than the content writing work on Indian websites. So, I think this is the best strategy that you can apply to work from home.
You can also write blog posts and your own articles on some websites like Hubpages that share the revenue earned from the adverts shown on your articles page.
There is no specific degree or education required to become a freelance writer, however, a degree in journalism or English would be a bonus point.

Since there is so much of competition in design entrance exams nowadays, it can't be said which is the best coaching for the preparation.
For Pearl Academy, the institute does not accommodate any preparatory centre or coaching and moreover, the exam syllabus is almost the same as that of other design entrance exams, so you may join any coaching. There are many coaching centres offering full-time classroom preparatory courses as well as crash courses of 10, 14 and 28 days. I would suggest opting for a full-time classroom in any of the following coachings you like: AFA- Academy of Fashion and Arts, BRDS- Bhanwar Rathore Design Studio, Pahal design. These coachings offer preparation for Pearl Academy, NIFT, NID and many other design entrance tests, they are considered to be the best as they make the student practice a lot more than one can imagine. They will prepare you well for objective as well as the subjective part.apart from this you can also go through teachmewell.co.in which has the option of online courses as well.
