For advertising(brand management, etc), the best place to study for a Masters would be MICA, Ahmedabad.

For journalism- Asian College of Journalism, Chennai
Xaviers (Mumbai), Symbiosis(Pune), Indian Institute of Mass Communication (New Delhi).
I've heard that these are supposed to be the best.

The best institute in India to study mass communication is the A.J.Kidwai Mass Communication Research Centre, Jamia Milia Islamia University, New Delhi. This is followed by IIMC, New Delhi and SIMC (symbi), Pune.

If you want to go for communications and advertising, then the best in Asia is MICA, Ahmedabad.

cheerio!

Although the impression might be that one needs a degree of some sort to get into the film industry, just take a look at the profiles of all film scriptwriters in India... know any certified mass comm ? 😉 Or for that matter, any masscomm doing anything at all in film industry? Not till far far away

Can't suggest to you a way to get into the film industry except the casting couch , but a masscomm degree will help you get into ad-filmmaking or documentaries, which is much more respectable and rewarding option then films... opinions may vary.
For that, the best place to be at is AJ Kidwai Mass comm Research Center at Jamia Millia Islamia University, New Delhi. FTII... is more about strikes than studies. It'll most probably get you into the CPI(M)

heyyyyyy...well atleast tell ur name???!!!!..well i am doing bcom (H) from delhi university..m also interested in this field..i have explored various options and as per my survey.. indian institute of masscommunication n jamia hamdard university-both in delhi are THE BEST..
THE ENTRANCE TEST for dem is held in may/june but is aVERYVERY TOUGH ...
besides u have symbiosis institute of masscomm-pune..dats a 2yr course,unlike da above which are of 1yr postgraduate degree..

few years back, the times of india and the pioneer newspapers have also opened up their media schools-both are in delhi,,and they are emerging as good institutes offering very good placements,and getting there isnot that tough..so look for dem too...

besides..xaviers institute of masscomm in mumbai is also a good option..if u wana go for journalism u have asian college of journalism in chennai..
well il let u know if i get to know anything else..u can visit sites of all these colleges..just type their names in search..

sonya,
be very sure what u want to do in media......
mass comm in itself is huge..so wat is it u want to get into.....pr? advtg? journalism?.....accordingly u will have options

if its journalism...mba is out of question...frankly for print u dnt even need a mass comm degree.just an above average english aptitude and .but yes for broadcast u do...so a journalism n mass comm degree is right
dunno much about times school n the like..will try to find out if i can n let ya and other aspirants know......other than this asian school of journalism is best option and also jamia milia wins hands down anyday....u cud also try for Xaviers in mumbai.

if its advtg/pr........u cud go the mba-in communications way.....mica/symbi is a good option....and yes sophia's in mumbai is good enough for pr.
