If you are looking for a graduation course then you should definitely consider PCTE Group of Institutes, its a more than 2-decade old college and would provide you hands on learning on specific subject. To add on more important skills like reporting, editing, anchoring, video shooting, using drones, mixing and editing, layout, publishing, public relations, media laws, et al. I would suggest if you are planning to explore colleges for journalism course, do consider the practical work that they offer because there are plenty of colleges out there which do nothing more than theory. Im suggesting PCTE because I have done my Masters from PCTE Group of Institutes, During my course I have seen students covering campus during events with drones, gimble, and other sophisticated gadgets. Out if curiosity I also visited this sound proof studio one day with a friend and saw students working on mixing and editing computers, software and equipment. Later in my final year I saw several videos which were shared in our WhatsApp groups, which were shot and made by Journalism dept students. I was really inspired. I am certain you can find one such college in your city, or try my college also if you want.

Hi, Few things you should keep on your mind prior to proceed for a Journalism degree from any college,
1. Do they have an experienced faculty (Faculty must have expertise in theory and practical both).
2. Do they have Adequate/appropriate equipment to make you expert in handling them?
3. Do they have an Audio/Video studio to teach them practically.
4. Are they running any Media house?
5. Do they provide the platform to you for doing practices?
6. Do they have such an atmosphere where you can have the experience to perform practically?
7. Do they have Industrial Tie-ups?
8. Do they provide Teachings from external experts? LPU is preferred because it provides all above mentioned salient features. LPU is producing smart and Intelligent journalists. Not only journalists, you can find LPU journalism students at various sectors of Media and Entertainment. The well-qualified doctorate faculty and many industry experts make a great faculty combination at LPU. LPU has Adequate/appropriate equipment, which they use on a regular basis for making their children well trained even practically. A separate Professional Audio and Large size Video Studio. Multimedia and Animation electives add on the spark to the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. LPU provides many platforms to their students to compete or perform even at National level events. Like National Media fests and other prestigious competitions. One of the LPU students won DADA SAHEB PHALKE AWARD a few years ago. LPU has such a beautiful atmosphere where students can attempt to shootings, or they can make short movies or documentaries. In fact, LPU students get the opportunity to work practically in many of the LIVE Concerts held at LPU. University has its own Narrow Casting News Channel and Web TV where students work as volunteers. LPU has many Tie-Ups with prominent Media Houses. Many experts like Film directors, writers, Film Producers, Renowned Photographers, Renowned Journalists visit on a regular basis. Thanks.
