Top mass communications institutes in India

By Editor on Jun 4, 2007 in PReducation, education

Outlook magazine’s June 11, 2007 edition has come out with its annual Outlook-Cfore college survey and this time, it has ranked the top mass communications institutes in India as well among others.

It says a ‘…major trend is that many top-scoring students are deliberately opting for professional courses like healthcare, hotel management, fashion technology and mass communication. Experts are predicting a huge demand-supply gap in terms of manpower in these sectors. A recent PriceWaterhouseCoopers report estimates that the Rs. 43,700-crore media and entertainment sector is poised for a cumulative growth of 18 per cent over the next five years and will be a Rs. 1,00,000-crore market by 2011. The fashion industry is expected to grow over five times to Rs 1,000 crore over the next 5-10 years. Healthcare, already a Rs. 1,00,000-crore sector, is growing at 13 per cent. Reforms and high growth rates have opened up new opportunities in many sunrise sectors. This is why we have ranked institutes in areas like law, fashion technology and mass communications. But this year’s ranking is based on subjective perception…’

These are the top 10 mass communications institutes in India according to the survey:
