Hey aspirant
These institutions, I believe, do not offer traditional master's programmes. You can choose between a diploma and a five-year integrated course.
Another option would be to look into some other good colleges where you could pursue your master's degree in mass communication. My friend earned an MA in Mass. Co. from Lovely Professional University and did well by being campus placed by ANI.
So look into some reputable institutions such as Lady Sri Ram College in New Delhi, Loyola College in Chennai, and Lovely Professional University.
I hope my response was useful!!!!
