Directly approaching publishers and media agencies can be effective. Follow up on leads suggested by people who know you. When you have assignments, make it a point to clarify what is required and deliver on schedule. Keep in touch with those who have asked you to write so that new assignments can be passed on to you.

| I want to know about good institutes that offer a course in animation film making (2D and 3D) with a relative ranking, so that I can decide which ones I should be gunning for. Also, pointer about admission procedure and important dates would be helpful? Animation is the manipulation of static images to give the illusion of moving pictures. This happens when a sequence of picture are passed through the projector at a rapid speed of 24 frames a second. There are computer animators who work on computers to make their characters come alive. But there are also cartoon animators who draw the pictures for the animated movies. Animation has its uses in entertainment as well as in practical applications in industrial and scientific research. Animators work in film and television studios, advertising and software production companies where they may be creating games and educational software. In science and industry, computer animators may be creating computer models of physical events and interactions. Animators translate ideas on paper or file in order to communicate these ideas to an audience. A sense of colour, a sense of balance and proportion is a must in this profession. An eye for detail will take you places. The essence of the job is to know how exactly each character should move or react and create something extraordinary which seems full of life. Animation can be of two types –2D (two dimensional) and 3D (three dimensional). Animation is tipped to be the hottest growth segment of IT-enabled services. In the information age jobs for animators will increase. Big money will always depend on a touch of genius and savvy marketing. The following institutes offer training in this field: National Institute of Design, Paldi, Ahmedabad-380007; Heart Animation Academy, Hyderabad; Industrial Design Centre, IIT Bombay, Powai, Mumbai-400076.

| I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT MASS COMMUNICATION. ADMISSION TO THE MASS COMMUNICATION. ELIGIBILITY. PLACEMENT. BEST INSTITUTE FOR MASS COMMUNICATION. PAY PACKAGE AFTER DOING THIS COURSE IN PRIVATE INDUSTRIES AND AS WELL IN GOVT. Indian Institute of Mass Communication, New Delhi (www.iimc.gov.in), Asian College of Journalism, Chennai (www.asianmedia.org.in), University of Mumbai (www.mcjmumbai.org), Times School of Journalism ( www.tcms.in) , SNDT Women’s University (http://sndt.digitaluniversity.ac) ,Sophia College (www.sophiacampus.com), Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s S P College of Communication & Management, New Delhi (www.bvbdelhi.org), Manipal Institute of Communications (www.manipal.edu), Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism, Bhopal (www.mcu.ac.in), A J K Mass Communication Research Centre, Jamia Millia Islamia(http://www.jmi.nic.in) ,Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (www.bhu.ac.in) , and The Manorama School of Communication, Kottayam (www.manoramajschool.com) are among the prominent mass communication training institutions. Selection to postgraduate programmes usually comprises a written test and interview. The written test usually had both objective and conventional (short answers, composition, précis) questions. The objective is to test writing skills, capacity for self expression, editing, vocabulary, general awareness including current affairs and related abilities. There may be a test on media analysis and assessment of media related work (portfolio). Journalism applicants for some institutions may have to undergo a test in Desk Top Publishing (DTP) in English in MS Word or PageMaker. A syllabus is hardly ever prescribed and there is no fixed format, so the candidate’s individuality matters. Examples and listings are indicative Mass communication courses can lead to jobs in print (newspapers, magazines, and other print publications), online journalism, or radio and television journalism, or in advertising or public relations, depending upon the available openings at that point of time, and based on the suitability of the aptitude and skills you possess. Pay packages depend upon the employer, and could vary with individual abilities in the private sector and location, but would be quite standard in the government. The recruitment notification would mention the pay scale in the government or public sector undertakings. 07/08/2009 By: Ms. Jayanti Ghosh |

| Hello sir/madam i m science student group-b. And want to do mass communication in journalism. So what to do after completion of HSC to take admission in it & some details also about it. Plz guide me. You can seek admission to such under graduate programmes after class 12th with science, group b, but there is no standard process for all universities offering such programmes. For example, admission to the bachelor’s degree in mass communication and journalism or equivalent under Delhi University, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi, Symbiosis International University, etc is based on performance in the entrance examination, of which the last two universities conduct national level tests. However, admission to the Bachelor of Mass Media under University of Mumbai is based on class 12th board aggregates. Indicative examples. The admission notification appears in advance. You may check the website www.set-test.org for details of the test for admission to Symbiosis International University, Pune and www.ipu.ac.in for the entrance test schedule for admission to Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi.(31.12.2008) By: Ms. Jayanti Ghosh |

Only then should you consider whether you want to pursue higher degrees, and whether you would be able to do justice to a distance learning programme because jobs in your field are very demanding and timings are irregular and long. IGNOU (www.ignou.ac.in) and other Open Universities as also various universities offering distance learning programmes keep advertising their admission schedule in the prominent dailies. Pick up leads from there when you are in a position to take on the PhD. Right now start reviewing job options and finish off the programme with an excellent performance. Try to get as much practical experience as possible.(08.12.2008) By: Ms. Jayanti Ghosh |
| I have done my graduation in English from Delhi University and am doing Masters in Political Science from the same. Is my educational qualification strong enough to fetch me a job in print journalism? Is it necessary to have a degree in jounalism to become a print journalist? It is not at all necessary to have a journalism degree to become a journalist. Many of the famous journalist did not have. What is required is a nose for news, curiousity,flair of writing and abitlity to analyse the facts. If you have them, go ahead. However, for a formal degree/diploma you can contact Indian Institute of Mass communication (www.iimc.nic.in), Delhi University (www.du.ac.in) or IGNOU (www.ignou.ac.in) (for correspondence course).

You should also take advantage of your course in the web-designing by associating your self with the uploading of the content of your newspaper on the web (in case it is having a web edition).

| Dear Sir, I'm Master in Library and Information Science and now working in the Central Library, IIT, Kharagpur as a Professional Trainee.

Please give a best advise.

| Myself working as a Asstt. Librarian in a upcoming University at present. I did B.Sc., M.Lib.and Information Science and PG Diploma in GERMAN Language (3 Yrs.Regular Course).Now I want to do MBA in HRM. IS IT WORKS FOR ME OR NOT? Plz. resolve my query! It appears that you are pursuing courses that are diverse in nature and do not necessary complement each other. From the details submitted by you, it appears advisable that if you plan to study further, having a higher degree either in library Science or German Language are likely to add to the existing qualifications rather than MBA in HRM though MBA in HRM if done through a reputed institute could itself be a good base for a managerial position in the corporate world or even in an academic institution where your qualifications of M.SC library Science and MBA in HRM shall complement each other. Hence, the status and the reputation of the institute from where you plan to do MBA HRM should be considered for taking a final decision. By: Ms. Dr. Reena kumari |
