Hey,

The major difference between the two is that Masters in Mass Communication focuses on teaching the theory and reasoning behind the subjects and Masters in Journalism and Mass Media is more bent towards practical knowledge of spreading a message in a mass. Mass Media is a part of Mass Communication.

Though the end result and career options of both of them might be the same. You can pursue any of them based on what interests you more theory or practical.

I hope this information was helpful.

Hello,

A degree in mass communication is not offered by Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU, Delhi).The list of PG courses offered at JNU is available in the following link

https://www.jnu.ac.in/academic-masters-program

You can apply to IIMC, which is located near the JNU campus. If you wish to be a part of IIMC, you must apply separately. You can't get into IIMC by taking the JNUEE ( Jawaharlal Nehru University Entrance Exam).

The Indian Institute of Mass Communication Entrance Examination, commonly known as the IIMC Entrance Exam, is a written exam that consists of multiple-choice questions and descriptive type questions and is used to provide admission to PG Diploma and Certificate level programmes at various campuses. The IIMC is a self-contained institute within the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting that provides journalism courses in a variety of subjects.

You can see the procedure in the following link

However, if you choose Sociology as your major, you can pursue an MPhil or PhD in Mass Communication.

If you want to study mass communication at a university in Delhi, the following institutes are the finest.

• IP University (Main Campus): provides degree and diploma programmes.
• Indian Institute of Mass Communication(IIMC) provides just a diploma programme.
• (AJK Mass Communication Research Centre) Jamia Millia Islamia provides a mass communication degree.
• RK Films & Media Academy | RKFMA Delhi -Both degree and diploma courses are available

Hope it helped
