I am a Std XI Commerce student. I want to pursue a career in broadcasting (journalism). Please tell me about the entrance test and whether we can get direct admission? How to start preparing for this and what skills are needed for it?
Do you have comprehensive command of grammar and vocabulary? Can you communicate clearly, confidently and assertively? Are you naturally a “people person”, finding it easy to meet and talk with new acquaintances? If you answered yes to these questions, Bachelor in Journalism may be a good choice for you.
Journalism teaches students the skills necessary for careers in reporting, writing, and editing functions with newspapers, wire services, magazines and special publications. The duration of the course is 3 years. Generally, institutes conduct their own entrance test followed by an interview for the selection of suitable candidates. Basic eligibility is 10+2 (any stream). The objective of these tests is to judge awareness of the current events and the essential skills required of a conscientious journalist.
Personal qualities rather than training are more important for becoming a good journalist. However, a good course in journalism gives you the chance to do an internship with some of the best names in the business, besides teaching the basic skills. I have completed my 12th. I want to pursue Bachelor’s in Pharmacy. What are the career opportunities? Is there a need for pharmacy graduates and post-graduates and higher options in pharmacy?
