What you study
BJMC covers the core of media work: news writing and reporting, editing, broadcast and digital media, advertising and public relations, alongside media law and ethics.
Media hiring runs on portfolios, and distance study leaves the practical side largely to you. Treat the degree as the grounding and build the evidence — published pieces, edited video, a working channel — while you study.
How it runs by distance
In distance mode you work through the programme's study material in your own time and submit assignments, and the term-end examinations are the university's. Admission and study support are facilitated by IICT and IIPM, Lucknow. Before paying, ask in writing how examinations will be held for your session — at a centre or online — since that decides your travel and leave.
The programme is designed for 3 years, and the university allows up to 6 years to complete it if you need longer.

Who it suits, and who it doesn't

Look elsewhere if you need newsroom placements or studio hours built into the degree. Ask what practical components are included before enrolling.
