What is the difference in BA in media studies, BJMC and BA in Journalism and Mass Communication?

Hi Gaurav, BA in Journalism or media studies means you will get a degree of Bachelor of Arts that would be an art related degree with fewer values. Whereas BJMC stands for Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication, it is a professional degree with high values. So, I think you should look for the colleges that provides BJMC course.

Hi. B.A. Has a slightly lesser depth of subjects while B.J. M. C. has all the detailed knowledge of journalism and mass communication. It has topics from literature, politics, constitution, international relations, etc. There is a slight difference in subjects and syllabus. However, both are taken as almost the same overall.

Dear Gaurav, B.A. Has a little less weightage of subjects while B.J. M. C. covers all the aspects of journalism and mass communication. It includes subjects from literature, public relations, advertisement to criminal procedure, politics, constitution, and international relations. There is little difference in subjects and syllabus. My cousin completed his degree last year in B.J. M. CAT LPU. The programme is designed to expose students to all dimensions of Print, Electronic, and New Age Media. As we all know, Mass Communication is a medium of dispersing information to many people. The term is not limited to only journalism but spreads its branches to various other media fields including newsgathering and reporting, film direction and production, event management, public relations, advertising, corporate communication, and the list continues. So, pursuing the degree from such an institute of repute is the need of an hour. Addressing your query, LPU offers more than 250 programmes out of which mass communication is high in demand. One of my nieces took admission to LPU and told me that the course is designed to expose students to all dimensions of Print, Electronic, and New Age Media. The focus is on enhancing technical skills of reporting, news design software, video editing, photography, etc. The focus is on 1. Better student-teacher interaction through mentoring sessions 2. Orientation of curricular content for enhancing employability 3. Opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities for achieving all-around development. 4. Moocs 5. Curriculum benchmarked against renowned global institutions Career prospects are Journalists/Correspondents: Reporters, Editors/ Sub- Editors/ Assistant Editors Public, Relations Executives, Event Managers, Photojournalists, NewsMakers, Academicians and FilmMakers Companies which have visited as of now are: Hindustan Times, Indian Express, The Hindu, Dainik Jagran, Dainik Bhaskar, The Tribune, Times Now, CNN IBN, ABP News, India TV, NDTV India, Zee News, India Today and Outlook I will advise you to book the seat at the earliest because seats filled very soon for this course Hope this helps.

Basically, there is no as such differences between all as you asked. All are the nomenclature which is decided by the universities authority with the approval of UGC. The name of course vary state to state and campus to campus. Like GJUS&T, Hisar University offers B.Sc Degree in Mass Communication. In GGSIPU, it was BJMC, but university changed the nomenclature of this subject, and now it is BA,(JMC). So, it doesn't matter.
