Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication is the Foundation Degree in India, because our Schools do not have this domain as a Specialization. Media Studies or some other related subject is just part of the curriculum of Humanities and Arts in Senior Secondary and doesn't have a major role. Hence, BA remains a less preferred degree for getting a job quickly. Having said this, I must clarify that BA mass communication is a good option to make a career in media. After all, one has to somewhere start learning where the career is to be taken. BA Mass Communication done from average institutions in India doesn't lead to a good career possibility, unless the student has earned and excelled in real media skills. It is suggested that after doing BA in mass communication in India with good skills of media and communication, one can see jobs abroad as well as in India. But, there has to be Specialization or a key skill and interest developed to seek job knowing that Mass Communication is a very vast domain. Prefer a major through post-graduation or do real skill development during BA. Otherwise, it is tough to get jobs.
