How to Select Best Mass Communication Colleges in Delhi/NCR

Mass Communication has emerged as a very promising career option for youngsters today. This career option is complete in itself if you are looking for a profession which is far from conventional streams. From getting to work at odd hours and fetching information from the places you least expect to make news to being ready for just about anything that comes your way, this profession is for people who have a knack of seeing and doing things differently. The career demands young, dynamic and outgoing people who can make the best of whatever comes their way. However, just being confident and dynamic would not solve the purpose. What it also requires is support of good mass communication colleges that direct you on the right path.

The road to a successful career starts from the kind of institute you have studied in. Good mass communication colleges give a direction to your passion for this stream so that your virtues do not get wasted.

While zero downing to good mass communication institutes, one must check out the faculty of the institute. The kind of teachers and lecturers that a college houses says a lot about the type of college it is. If anything, the faculty must be an experienced one. Industry experience really counts when it comes to training young minds. Colleges are like potter's wheels while the faculty acts as the potter himself. The faculty trains students in the colleges just the way a potter shapes raw clay on the potter's wheel. Good colleges also invite guest faculty who are usually the industry insiders who still have their claws in the industry. It is important to let students meet industry insiders and let them know about the latest trends and happenings so as to prepare them for the ground zero.

There are a host of mass communication streams including advertising, journalism and production that you can opt to make your career in. Most of these mass communication institutes are equipped with experienced faculty who can impart the nitty-gritty of these streams. However, only a few have proper infrastructure in place for the practical training. The infrastructure refers to well equipped labs including camera lab, audio/visual rooms, dark room for photography and an editing room which should be equipped with editing consoles. The idea is to impart practical training to the students apart from the theoretical knowledge so that they may not have to face hard times when they set out to enter the industry.
