We continuously strive to provide you with the best possible education and prepare you for a fulfilling career in the media and entertainment industries. The Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication (BJMC) course is an ideal choice for students aspiring to make their mark in the media and entertainment industries. The Indian media and entertainment sector has experienced remarkable growth, with a 19.9 percent increase in revenue in 2022, surpassing Rs 2 trillion for the first time. The digital advertising sector has played a significant role in this growth.
Projections from the EY-FICCI report suggest that the sector will continue to expand, reaching a size of Rs 2.34 trillion ($29.2 billion) in 2023 and a staggering Rs 2.83 trillion by 2025.
This projected growth indicates a high demand for trained professionals, with estimates suggesting that the sector will require over 5 to 7 lakh young professionals in the next five years.
