I have a few friends from DAV University in Jalandhar and they were able to give some insight regarding the Bachelor’s degree in journalism.

• The teachers are excellent and are very well versed in this field who will impart their best experience to the students.
• The Head of Department (HOD) Mr. K.K Rattu is a very experienced professional who has served more than 30 years at the Doordarshan network.
• The department has 3 DSLR cameras for still photography, a professional video camera, microphones, sound systems, and all other equipment required.

So yes it is a pretty good institute to study Journalism.

Nowadays, B.A. Journalism and Mass Communication is on a boom and it has a good scope. According to some of my friends studying at the Gwalior, Amity is the best one in terms of both the fees as well as the education.

The Amity School of Communication (ASCO) is one the most prominent institutes of Media education in the Gwalior region of Madhya Pradesh.

• Firstly, the main focus of ASCO is to make people aware of high-quality media education in the region of Madhya Pradesh (Gwalior).
• Secondly, to produce highly qualified media professionals – print and electronic journalists, anchors, creative designers, producers, presenters, etc.
• With a Journalism degree, you can also work as Advertising professionals, public relations professionals, photojournalists, and academicians in the field of media studies.
• Moreover, the program thus consists of six semesters over three years.
• Students study 11 different subjects per semester with a perfect blend of practical and theoretical knowledge.

Scope:

• The growth of social media and online platforms has opened many more opportunities, other than print and television.
• It has gradually become a competitive field. But due to the constant demand, they will require a lot of professionals.
• Thus the scope will increase each day.

If you choose to pursue BJMC, then it’s a win. You can look forward to working in the fields such as public relations, television, films, publishing, journalism, editing, direction, etc. Furthermore, the talented and trained individuals in India and abroad are given lucrative and attractive positions as journalists, actor, editor, screenwriters, RJ, producers, and VJ.

Amity University Kolkata offers a program in Journalism and Mass Communication, BJMC, across 3 years. The popularity of this program has been growing more and more, over the years. It is a great program with core and foundation level subjects. Although comparatively, Amity Noida offers a better environment and campus for the program.

The table below will give you a brief overview of the BJMC Journalism and Mass Communication program at Amity University Kolkata. 

Attendance: 

• Students are required to have a minimum of 75% attendance in order to be eligible to appear for final examinations. 
• The class timings are slightly odd and therefore you will have to figure out a balance between them. Due to the odd timings, many students start losing interest in learning and start attending classes just for the sake of attendance.

Infrastructure: 

• It has an inbuilt soundproof studio for recording TV & Radio. 
• It also offers all the pieces of equipment needed for the course work. Make sure you make use of the provided resource.

Placements:

• The institute promises 100% placements. However, the salary packages start from as low as INR 15,000. One of my classmates was placed in Delhi with a salary package of INR 25,000 but on a contract basis. 
• Most students are offered the role of associates or junior managers after completing their graduation. 

You should make good use of the institute’s resources and infrastructure. Doing so will surely help you in getting good experiences and build your portfolio.

Hence, Amity University Kolkata offers a good degree program in BJMC with decent placement statistics.
