If your course has been of the level of a degree then, the job and career is your only door to knock at! If the course you have completed or will complete or even pursue is merely a Certificate Level or a Diploma (not a PG Diploma) higher studies can be given a thinking.
The reason is that a delay in getting a good job just after completing the course of certificate level, for a fresher, is difficult.

The first question: Should I opt for higher studies or pursue a job after completing a course in non-linear editing? It deserves a yes for a job if you are getting a job because the actual purpose of doing a professional skill oriented course or training is to put it into use and start earning the vocational income.
If the non-linear editing, which is much in use now, is coming your way in the form of a stable job where your skills will further improve, take that as a course of higher studies as well. Getting paid for learning will be a better thing than joining another institute just because the previous place did not teach you enough to get a job.
Why: Video editing has worked for all. Those who know video editing and have the interest to work on the same field, have work. It is just about making a good connection as well as presenting good work, which gets you more work and strengthens your career.

To become an actor one needs to possess the following characteristics:
1. Competence to take fictional roles
2. Truthfulness in learning the role play
3. Flawless diction and multiple language skills
4. Experience and the best possible in theatre
5. Formal training in acting if possible

Along with the above basic requirements to become an actor in films and for the acts of theatre as well, I can suggest that an actor needs to perform the role of others so, the actor needs to have a keen observation as well as adaptability skills which come to action within a fraction of a second.
Presence of mind along with the determination to perform the task of getting into the flesh of others should be done with through practice by the actor.

Plot, character, diction, thought, music and spectacle.
The fulfilment of these has to be done with the above-mentioned qualities.
I shall mention that an actor needs to be physically good looking because the acting needs to be good.

I would advise you to watch any news channel for just 1 hour as that's how you will realise what qualities do news presenters have. To be more specific to your query, you need to be well groomed for being news presenter.
Following are some qualities/skills:
Physical appearance: It's very important for you to look fresh, fit, well-groomed and smart. This makes the viewer more interesting towards you.
Good reader (English/Hindi): If you want to be a news presenter at any English channel, Hindi channel or any regional news channel, you must excel in English. It's a more desirable and demanding language by media and news agency.
General and statistical knowledge: If you want to expand your wings at global level then it is necessary that you should be good in statistical analysis. Successful data analysis is one of the reasons for the promotion of a news reporter.

Hello,This is one of the most appropriate questions about video editing careers. It has been observed very closely that graphic design skills are truly an addition to the skills of video editing. Graphic design/photo editing/corrections in still photography help the video editor in designing creative that are to be used as banners in the videos. Not everything that is there in the video (motion) photography is all in all of the editing. For example, someone who uses FCP or Adobe Pro for editing of films/documentaries or other video stuff shall always need some graphics editing assistance and if the same person knows Photoshop/Illustrator/Coral Draw etc., the prospects become far strong than the one who merely knows video editing. Further, a video editor can create a better and successful career by having three things on his profile:Graphic design skillsCamera work/capturing skillsAudio editing skills

Lingaya's is an old name now as there have been there as a university for a long time as well. There Management institution has carried a good legacy of placement and we should give a considerate thought to them when it comes to placements from Lingaya's.
BJMC- the Bachelor degree offered by their management institute carries the same limitation that I mentioned in some other answers saying that merely a BJMC at a college will not enable quick placements. Besides, media jobs are lucrative and BJMC degree is an entry level degree that should be accompanied by enough skills and trainings.
The placements of Lingaya freshers have been steady and the list of prospective employers for them does not include leading Media Houses.
Major recruiters include:
NIIT, shaadi.com, UniTech, HDFC, etc.
Mass communication can lead to executive level jobs whereas PR and marketing can also be taken by them.
There is less information about their campus placement.
See the BJMC Placement Details here: http://lldims.org.in/placement-record/

Hello,
If you have only these two options to pursue Masters in journalism and Mass Communication course then I would like to vote for Institute of Management Studies, Noida because today, employer seems to be very interested in those candidates who are stone with the graduation from the regular mode. This makes me also to say that getting admission in an open university will not going to help you in long run.
Hence doing regular course from IMS is good. Doing MJMC course from IMS Noida (affiliated to Chaudhry Charan Singh University Meerut) helps you to get wider chance to vet placed at the very good profile in a very good company. You can work as a Public Relations officer, Communication executive, social media executive, teacher-lecture, Communication manager, etc. After that, you can also work as a research assistant by doing PhD in this field.
