Hello,


Well the good news is that yes you can pursue Journalism as a career after engineering.
Graduates in any discipline, including engineeringand technology, can pursue Journalismcourse. To make a good career as a journalist, you must have qualities like flair for writing, presentation and communication skills, extensive reading, an analytical mind, a keen sense of observation, presence of mind and most importantly courage.

After completing engineering, you can do a Masters and postgraduate diploma course in Journalism and Mass Communication and this will help you to enhance your skills in print and electronic journalism, development communication, communication research, advertising and public relations etc. Apart from that keep reading articles, magazines, newspapers etc.


I hope this helps.

Hi Abhishek!

You can very well join any Journalism and Media Courses in Colleges even after completing your Engineering Degree! If you want to enhance your skills or knowledge further, there are numerous free and paid Online Courses available in Coursera, Udemy, edX, etc,. Opting for Certified Courses can also help you in future, if you are willing to work in media oriented Organization. There are also Internships available which are either Online or Offline which will also help you out!

Hope this is helpful!

All the best!
