Performing arts (theatre and television) bring to mind the stage and performance as part of the daily learning in the course. However, for all the valid reasons, we can think of the feasibility of such a degree through distance mode as well. Distance mode has been established all over the world to keep the learning active and bring education to them who otherwise were away from that learning. IGNOU offers the following: Master of Performing Arts (Theatre Arts) (MPATA). Any graduate with a Diploma in acting/theatre arts or any graduate with 5-years of practical experience in theatre.
Programme overview | Courses | Related Information|
Master of performing arts in theatre arts AIMS to provide both practical and theoretical aspects of theatre to students. This course offers specialisation in direction, design and children's theatre to facilitate the students to take up a career related to these areas. This is to add to the above details that where there is no connection between the provider of the Master's degree and the students, the degree is a waste. IGNOU offers assignments and personal contact programme empowered courses and that may be a single reason to think of doing such a course via distance mode.

There is an answer to a related question about the courses in question: https://ask.shiksha.com/what-are-the-career-prospects-in-india-and-abroad-for-ma-in-film-television-and-new-media-production-qna-4393242
The above question has attracted three expert replies and takes us to a better understanding of what job are available after it and how can one get a job.
The aspect here is not about sharing that there are jobs in the above profile and skill sets. But the question still remains where the things are taught in real serious and responsible manner.
If the graduation has been a learning activity and there is a job coming your way through graduation, then doing a PG in distance is okay but the candidate has to work very hard; really hard on the personal+professional front.

Sir J. J. College of Architecture will be a better option based on the following points :
Faculty
The faculty members are a nice blend of old and young professors and the interesting part is that a lot of visiting faculty members are invited at regular times to take the lectures, in their area of expertise. The head-of-departments are the permanent faculty members, and needless to mention about their experience. Also, they are good teachers and can explain concepts well. Some of the faculty members have been the student of J.J. College itself, and are very flexible with handling things.
Infrastructure
The infrastructure falls nothing short of whatever is required. The Laboratories, computer facilities, library are all well-equipped and up-to-date. Campus being the best part of the college comprises 2 buildings for the various departments and workshops. Talking about the classes and the studios where most of the academic learning takes place, are also good, and you do not need to ask for more. The things not functional are replaced frequently, so no issues about the maintenance of infrastructure. The library at Sir J.J. College of Architecture is very rich with some volumes dating back to the time the school was established, i.e. around a century ago.
Placements
At J.J. everybody gets a placement, so that's never going to bother you, but not without proving your mettle. 20-25 architecture firms come to the campus every year. Students also get good 5th-year internships at these firms, and then a 6-month thesis follows. The purpose of the internship is to get the thorough practical knowledge before you actually become an architect.

Textile Technology provide superior teaching in an exceptionally given subject, allowing students to move their careers or continue their education into a Ph.D. programme. M.Sc. Textile designing through Distance learning is usually offered in the Science, math, drugs and engineering fields, such as biology, chemistry, physics, nursing or civil engineering and many others. Now coming to your question, It's not that worth as compared to regular Masters in Textile Technology. Because, Masters in Textile Technology is a well known highly professional programme and it requires a lot of attention and dedication which is only possible through a regular course. The kind of facilities and tools you required during your course will not be available through Distance mode of learning.

Although Jawaharlal Nehru Architecture and Fine Arts has good infrastructure and on-campus facilities, however placements for this college is not rated too well. The placement cell does not take steps necessary to facilitate placement drives on campus. Many students do not get placed, which is one of the main objectives to go to college; to get a good job. This purpose is defeated if one is studying at Jawaharlal Nehru Architecture and Fine Arts. Students and alumni from this college have not given positive reviews regarding the faculty at the institute, who they say do not have in -depth knowledge about their subjects.
On the other hand Hindustan Institute of Technology is a well known brand and has been ranked well by many magazines and ranking surveys. Placements are also good and most of its student get placed with top companies with high pay packets.
So, in my opinion I would prefer Hindustan Institute of Technology for a degree in B.Arch over JNA FA University.

An ad agency performs the following four basic functions for its clients:
Creative Functions including ad designing, copywriting, ad copy creation, message designing and graphic designing.
Media Selection choosing the best media for its client in accordance with the nature of product, type of target audience and advertising budget of the client.
Research Functions researching the consumer buying behaviour of the clients target market to design an ad campaign that is accepted by the potential consumers and make them respond favourably.
Relationship Management providing liaison between the client and various sections/divisions/departments of the ad agency for the convenience of the client and building long-term relationship with them.
Others: sometimes the ad agency goes a step further to provide sales promotion services, building public relations and taking up the task of direct marketing for the client. Advertising Agencies in order to reach the target audience monitor consumer feedback after the advertisement. A decision on whether to revise the message, the medium, the target audience or all of them can be made.
People with specific skills and talents in an Ad agency perform the functions mentioned above. On the basis of the functions performed, there are various agency staff positions or departments involving staff of related skills. They can be grouped as follows:
Account Manager
Account Planning and Research
Creative Development and Production
Media Planning and Buying
Other Services: There are other departments or units in an agency that perform functions related to print and film production, financial services like preparing bills and ensuring collections and human resources services, and other internal functions. There are also people involved with work of material dispatch, media release and its monitoring and post-tests to evaluate its success.
The flow of work in an advertising agency goes through a number of stages like, the briefing stage that involves receiving the initial inputs from the client and delivering the same to the creative and media department, to creation and production stage that includes the production of graphics and the print ad or the film ad and the media planning and scheduling operations, to finally the release stage of the campaign.

It is not worth doing any course which needs professional competence which is developed by personal contact with the institution and in regular classes.
There are many aspects of media-related courses and it should be clear to us that distance learning cannot develop the level of skills and competence that regular courses can do.
It is possible that one does distance learning studies when a foundational skill-set is already earned.
Please refer to the following replies as the same type of response is needed here as well (read your query subject in place of performing arts or editing):
1. Is it worth to pursue MA in performing arts (theater and television) from distance learning in India and why? Performing arts (theatre and television) bring to mind the stage and performance as part of the daily learning in the course. However, for all valid reasons, we can think of the feasibility of such a degree through distance mode as well. Distance mode has been established all over the world to keep the learning active and bring education to them who otherwise were away from that learning.
This is to add to the above details that where there is no connection between the provider of the Master's degree and the students, the degree is a waste. IGNOU offers assignments and personal contact programme empowered courses and that may be the single reason to think of doing such a course via distance mode.
2. Is it worth to pursue a certificate in FCP and editing from distance learning in India and why? Distance learning was not devised as an alternative to classroom learning or practical learning with the teachers.The same applies to the question as well. FCP is something which is a special learning and through the distance mode, I do not think that it is possible to comprehend and learn the best of FCP like tool through distance. Besides, in India, we do not have that strong and fault-free delivery system of distance learning programmes.

Director in selecting which takes and shots from production are the most consistent with the director's vision for the finished film. Film editors work long hours manipulating scenes with technical video editing equipment and putting together preliminary versions of the film, known as cuts. These cuts are critiqued by the director, financiers and sometimes the actors. The cuts are then revised until the final cut of the movie is ready for audiences. Most film editors work in the film and television industry. Traditional film stock may soon be an artifact of a bygone era, as film is replaced by video. Editors will edit video by manipulating digital footage on powerful computer workstations. As the industry changes to digital imaging, filmmaking programs at colleges and universities will likely offer more courses in this budding technology.

Film editors play a major role in transforming raw footage shot for movies, TV shows or other film projects into a finished product. As editors, they will help select and organize the footage that the best conveys the storyline, the theme and the characters of the project while cutting material that is extraneous or that contains errors. This responsibility is important because it also ensures that the film meets any time constraints that may be placed on it. In addition, the editor collaborates with other crew members in adding soundtracks, special effects and other creative touches that enhance the director's vision. Creativity and an eye for detail are therefore important, as are computer skills since digital software is the primary tool utilized by film editor.
