Poornima University BAJMC Journalism and Mass Communication: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Poornima University has signed an MoU with First India Media Group, one of Rajasthan's leading news networks, as a training partner for the BA (Journalism and Mass Communication) programme. This partnership provides students with hands-on training in a live newsroom environment, real-world journalism exposure, and industry immersion that goes beyond classroom learning. Students get to work alongside practising journalists, understand the workflow of a news organisation, and develop practical skills in reporting, editing, and broadcasting. This kind of industry tie-up is rare for a 3-year BA programme and significantly enhances the employability of graduates.

Ans. No, there is no minimum percentage requirement for BA (Journalism and Mass Communication) at Poornima University. The eligibility is simply a pass in 10+2 from CBSE or any equivalent board, from any stream (Science, Commerce, or Arts). This makes the programme highly accessible to students who may not have scored high marks in 12th but have a passion for journalism and media. There is also no mandatory entrance exam, so admission is straightforward and merit-based on 12th marks for scholarship purposes only.
