Hi aspirant

If you want your career in mass journalism then go for Bachelors in journalism and mass communication ( BJMC ).
You can do it from any state university and also from private colleges
State universities like DU , they have a entrance exam for this course.
And you can go for private college also.
In private college they have mostly merit based admission.
