    I love Manipal University Jaipur because it gave me a chance to learn new things through its provision of online degrees. The main takeaway from my graduation is that I got to make new friends and I was exposed to new cultures that helped me hone my communication skills. Attending the convocation to collect a degree I truly cherish, has to be the best feeling.

    I enrolled in this online MA-JMC as the same program was not available in my city. Pursuing this program not only enhanced my video-making skills, but also helped me gain in-depth knowledge in several aspects of media.

    Working in the education sector & social development sector for 5-6 years, I came across a tribal village in Telangana and I really wanted to capture their stories. But I didn’t have the right skills, attitude and mindset to capture them. This is where Manipal University Jaipur is empowering me with an online MA JMC degree. I’m able to leverage maximum out of this platform.

    During the pandemic, I was skeptical about taking up an on-campus degree. So, I chose to pursue my masters in journalism in the online mode. From live classes to faculty members, I have had a great experience with MUJ so far. I hope to pursue my dream media career after this program.

    I have been working as a lab technician in Manipal University Jaipur for 8 years, I have good technical skills like video recording and editing. However, I wanted to improve my knowledge, so I decided to pursue an online MA JMC. I want to pursue my PhD after this online program, and I also hope to become a news anchor one day.
