Hi Ashwin.

Greetings.

Yes, you can pursue PG Diploma in Journalism after completing your B.Tech.

Thank you. All the best.

Hi Ashwin, you can persue Masters in Journalism after you have completed your graduation. There is no such boundation.

Hello Ashwin,

There is no such degree as 'MSc in Journalism' although there is an 'MA in Journalism'.

You can pursue a master's degree in Journalism regardless of your undergraduate education but the chances of admission may be reduced due to the vast difference between the domains of the two fields.

The requirements for pursuing a master's degree in Journalism include:

1. English language proficiency test scores: These exams include the IELTS and TOEFL. Either one of these scores are requisite, although if you are applying for a university in the United States, TOEFL is more preferred. As journalism is a degree requiring the extensive use of language, the scores in these tests should be high (generally 7.5+ for IELTS and 100+ for TOEFL iBT).

2. GRE test scores: For most Universities, the GRE test scores are not required for a master's in Journalism. But many colleges require GRE scores for University enrollment and not the specific department of admission. Although there are generally no GRE score minimum for arts programs, a GRE score above 310 is safe when applying for admission. Additionally, a score of 4+ out of 6 in the Analytical Writing section is also a must have for journalism students.

3. Portfolio: This is by far the most important requirement for admission. When considering prospective arts students, test scores are only used to filter students and the promapr decision of admission is based on the portfolio and other essays. The portfolio May differ from university to university but almost always requires a certain amount of written material to showcase your abilities.

4. Statement of Purpose: Apart from the portfolio, the statement of purpose is the 2nd of the two most important things for admission. This is the first thing that the admissions committee read and therefore the most influential.

5. Resume: In order to set yourself apart from the rest of the students, especially since your undergraduate degree is in a STEM field, it's important to mention journalism related achievements in your resume in order to ensure the admissions committee that you are suitable for this course.

6. Letters of Recommendation (LOR): Always ensure that your letters of recommendation are from people who have actually known you. Most applicants believe that an LOR from a person with a higher designation is better than one with a lower designation but that is not the case unless your recommender knows you and your work intimately. Most universities require recommenders to answer a series of questions about the applicant as well and therefore, recommenders who are familiar with you are always better suited than those who are not.

yes, of course, you can apply for admission to masters in journalism there are plenty of decent colleges that offer masters in journalism. the eligibility criteria are pretty simple for the course all you need is a graduate degree in any of the subjects recognized by the concerned university or college. the course can be of three years or four years.
