Shall I go for a JRF in mass communication? How can I prepare for it?

During the final year of Master’s degree or after Master’s degree, you can go for JRF, if you are interested in academics. But, if you want to work for media industry, then there is no need to go for JRF. If you go for JRF and qualified UGC NET with JRF then whenever you will join Ph.D. within 5 years, university will give you scholarship for the same. But, during that period you can’t get into teaching in any college or university campus. For the preparation of UGC NET/JRF, you have to study according the syllabus of UGC NET (Mass Communication). There are number of books you can buy from book hawkers for the same. But, pattern of exam has changed. When I qualified UGC NET that time, UGC takes three exams- two objective based paper and one subjective. But, now all are objective based question paper. So, you need to study hard for the same. I can add you in a WhatsApp group of media professionals as well as media educators who regularly discuss the information and study material regarding UGC NET/JRF. If you are interested then you can drop your number here, then I can add you.
