Career opportunities in mass communication are expected to increase as more than 100 news channels will come up in next five years. Thanks to mass media, news and entertainment job opportunities are aplenty for trained professionals in various roles – particularly in journalism and films.

India being the largest producer of films in the world has ample opportunities. Technically qualified media professionals can work for TV channels, production houses or can make documentaries on their own.

A professional course in mass communication opens doors for a career in films & TV, publishing, public relations, journalism, editing, direction, filmmaking, scriptwriting, production, etc. In nutshell, Mass Communication widens up the horizon of career options for a person.

Depending upon personal interest and inclination a mass communication professional can choose a job. Attractive and high paying jobs as journalist, actor, director, editor, screenwriter, RJ, producer, VJ are available to the talented and trained individuals. While the Indian GDP grew at an abysmal rate of 4.2 per cent in 2019, the rate of growth of the Media and

Entertainment (M&E) sector stood at a considerable 9 per cent and the total value of the sector reached 1.82 trillion. This figure should be enough to indicate that a degree in Communication and Journalism puts an aspirant at a distinct advantage over others.

Contrary to popular perceptions, there are innumerable opportunities in the M&E sector and more particularly in the digital domain, which is growing at an even faster rate. Post the Covid-19 crisis physical interactions among citizens would considerably decrease and this would result in higher consumption of M&E products and consequently, there would be a quantum jump in manpower requirement in the sector, significantly increasing the number of jobs.
