Yes, many universities and colleges in India conduct entrance exams for admission to the Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication (BJMC) program. The exams evaluate candidates through tests measuring their skill in English language fluency alongside knowledge of general topics and up-to-date news and logic abilities and media comprehension. The list of well-known BJMC entrance exams consists of Indraprastha University Common Entrance Test (IPU CET), Delhi University Entrance Test (DUET), Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET), Xavier Institute of Communications Entrance Exam (XIC OET) and Christ University Entrance Test (CUET). Several state universities run their own entrance tests which stand apart from testing conducted by private educational institutions through merit-based evaluation and personal interviews.
Most BJMC entrance exams expect students who finished their 10+2 studies from recognized boards to maintain at minimum half of the total required marks (50%). The entrance process requires both written assessment and personal interviews as well as group discussions. Job-seekers who wish to pursue journalism need to maintain their awareness of news and build their writing abilities and communication capabilities to succeed in entrance exams.
