1.0 THE UNIVERSITY
Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) was established in
September 1985 by an act of Parliament with a view to democratise education
so that it covers large segments of population, vocations and professions.
The primary emphasis is on innovation, flexibility and cost effectiveness.
Thus, it is a University with a difference.
The major objectives of the University are to:
• promote the educational well being of the community;

• democratise higher education by providing easy access to all those
who desire to improve their qualifications, skills and competence
by taking education to the doorsteps of people living even in remote
areas;
• disseminate learning and knowledge through innovative multi-media
teaching- learning system;
• provide high quality education at all levels; and
• coordinate and determine the standards of Distance Education and
Open University Systems throughout the country.
IGNOU offers various academic programmes that lead to certificates,
diplomas and degrees. It develops and produces courses for delivery through
open learning and distance education modes. IGNOU is also actively
involved in research, training and extension activities. It provides expertise
to other Open and Distance Learning Institutions.
The salient features of distance education system are:
• Study according to your own pace and convenience;

• Study at your own chosen place;
• Flexibility in choosing courses and combination of courses for a wide
range of disciplines/subjects;
• Use of modern and appropriate educational and communication
technology.
The University strives to fulfill the above mandate by a diversity of means
of distance and continuing education. It functions in cooperation with the
existing universities and institutions of higher learning. It makes full use of
the latest scientific knowledge and new educational technology to offer a
high quality education which meets the contemporary needs.
2.0 ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

MA (Journalism & Mass Communication) programme provides a
comprehensive exposure to various aspects related to Journalism and
Mass Communication to equip you with necessary knowledge, skills,
attitudes and competencies. The programme aims to develop skilled human
resource in media and communication with a holistic appreciation of media
as a tool for change and development. The programme will help you to
build competencies and develop professional skills to avail employment
4
opportunities in various media sectors. It will provide opportunities to those
who are working in media organisations without appropriate formal training
to upgrade their knowledge and competencies.
2.1 Rationale for the Programme

The Indian media have grown exponentially during the past few decades.
The press is flourishing in terms of circulation and readership in a variety
of languages. Radio has shown considerable resurgence and the expansion
of television in the recent past is unrivalled. While Public Relations and
advertising continue to thrive, the Internet and digital media have taken
great strides facilitating easier and faster information dissemination. The
spread of literacy and the advent of information technology have given
greater thrust to the rapid growth of media.
These areas of journalism and mass communication have manifest as well

as latent needs for trained manpower. To cater to these needs, there is a
strong need to offer MA (Journalism & Mass Communication) through
ODL mode with a blend of theory and practice. The programme aims to
address the needs of trained manpower in the expanding media and fill the
gaps in the areas of higher learning and research by reaching out to widely
dispersed groups located in remote and rural areas.
IGNOU with its vast network of regional centres and study centres and
the strength of developing exhaustive learning materials is uniquely placed
to bridge this gap and provide practical training through collaborative
arrangements with partner institutions.
2.2 Objectives
After completing the programme, you will be able to acquire specific
knowledge and skills enabling you to:
• report, edit, present and produce programmes for the print and
broadcast media;
• work in electronic and digital media sectors;
• work in academic institutions and research organisations;
• work in development media sectors; and
• join the fields of advertising, public relations and corporate
communication.
2.3 Target Groups
The programme will be useful for those who intend to make a full time
career in the print media, radio, television, new media, advertising, public
relations, media research and development media sectors. It will be equally
relevant for those who are already employed in any of these areas and
would like to upgrade their skills and knowledge. The programme thus will
be aimed at the following target learners:
• who want to work in print, digital and electronic media;

• who wish to join the fields of advertising and public relations;
5
• who are interested in the field of media research and academics;
• who wish to make a career in development media sectors;
• who are already working in media organisations and want to acquire
practical as well as theoretical knowledge to upgrade their skills; and
• those interested in knowledge enrichment.
2.4 Eligibility
The learners should have Bachelors Degree in any discipline. They should
have access to computers, Internet and basic knowledge of MS Word (for
creating word documents and communicating through the Internet for
sending and receiving mails, browsing sites etc.).
2.5 Programme Duration

The duration of the programme is two years and in view of the inherent
flexibility of the system, it can be completed in five years.
2.6 Medium of Instruction

The programme is initially offered in English medium. The material will be
translated in Hindi and the programme will be later offered in Hindi medium
also.
2.7 Programme Fee

The programme fee is Rs 25,000/- payable in two installments of Rs 12,500
per year. (The University may revise the fee from time to time. Please check
the advertisement or IGNOU website).
2.8 Programme Framework

The MA (JMC) is modular in nature in which to earn 64 credits, you will have
to complete 32 credits each year. There is a provision for lateral exit for those
of you who do not wish to continue after one year and such students shall
be awarded Post Graduate Diploma in Journalism & Mass Communication.
Credit transfer will be allowed to those who have completed similar courses
from other recognised institutions, as per University norms, for lateral entry.
2.9 Programme Delivery

The programme will be delivered through multiple delivery sources to
provide more choices to suit the varied learning needs. While printed Self
Learning Materials (SLMs) will be the mainstay; multiple media components
such as radio, television, teleconferencing, radio counseling, will constitute
the learning package. Practical training will be conducted using various
technological tools.
2.10 Credit System

IGNOU follows the Credit System for its academic programmes. Each
credit amounts to 30 hours of study comprising different learning activities,
including assignments and listening/watching audios and videos. Thus a 4
credit course involves 120 hours of study. Knowing the number of credits
6
for each course helps you to get an idea about the academic effort required
for successfully completing a course. The MA (JMC) programme consists
of 64 credits (960 study hours), which have been equally distributed in
sixteen courses.

How to Study the Units

While going through the syllabi, you will note that each theory course of the
programme has been divided into four blocks. Each block has a number of
units (lessons), these units have a certain thematic unity.
Each unit begins with an introduction in which we tell you about the
contents of the unit. We also outline a list of objectives, which we expect
you to achieve after working through the unit. This is followed by the main
body of the unit which is divided into various sections and sub-sections. We
end each unit by summarising its contents of the whole unit to enable you
to recall the main points.
Self-check exercises have been given under the caption Check Your Progress
at a few places in each Unit which invariably ends with possible answers
to the questions set in these exercises. Key words explain the terms used in
a Unit. You may also consult a dictionary for the terms not covered in this
section or requiring further explanation.
You should go through the Units and jot down important points as you read
at the space provided in the margin. Broad margins in the block are provided
there for you to write your notes on. This will help you keep track of and
assimilate what you have been reading in a Unit, and answer the self-check
exercises and the assignment questions, and also easily identify the items
to be clarified.

4.9 Counselling Sessions

In distance education, contact sessions between learners and their counsellors
are an important activity. The purpose of such a contact is to answer some of
your questions and clarify your doubts which may not be possible through
any other means of communication. It is also intended to provide you an
opportunity to meet your fellow students. There are experienced Academic
Counsellors at the Study Centres to provide counselling and guidance to you
in the courses that you have chosen for study. The counselling sessions for
each of the courses will be held at suitable intervals throughout the academic
session. Attending counselling sessions is not compulsory. However, the
sessions may be very useful in certain respects such as to share your
views on the subject with teachers and fellow participants, comprehend
some of the complex ideas or difficult issues and get clarifications for many
doubts which you would not otherwise try to raise.
Counselling sessions will be provided to you at the Study Centre assigned

to you. You should note that the counselling sessions will be very different
from the usual classroom teaching or lectures. Counsellors will not be
delivering lectures or speeches. They will try to help you to overcome
difficulties (academic as well as personal) which you face while studying
for the MA (JMC) programme. In these sessions, you must look into the
subject based difficulties and any other issue arising out of such difficulties.
Besides, some of the audio and video cassettes that are available at that time
will be played in the counselling sessions.
Before you go to attend the counselling sessions, please go through your

study material and note down the points to be discussed. Unless you
have gone through the units, there may not be much to discuss. Try to
concentrate on the relevant and the most important issues. You may also
establish personal contact with your fellow participants to get mutual help
for academic purposes. Try to get the maximum possible guidance from
your Counsellors.
17
The detailed schedule of the counselling sessions will be intimated to
you by the Coordinator of your Study Centre.
4.10 Study Centres
To provide effective student support, we have set up Study Centres all over
the country. You will be allotted one of these Study Centres taking into
consideration your place of residence or work. However, each Study Centre
can handle only a limited number of students and despite our best efforts,

particulars regarding the Study Centre to which you are assigned will be
communicated to you.
Each Study Centre has:

• An Assistant Coordinator and other supporting staff appointed on a
part time basis; and
• Counsellors to provide counselling and guidance to you in the course.

6.0 EVALUATION
The evaluation consists of two aspects:
1. Continuous evaluation through assignments
2. Term-end examination
In the final result, all the assignments of a theory course carry 30% weightage
while 70% weightage is given to term-end examination. The University
follows grading system for continuous evaluation as well as term-end
examination. It is done on a ten point scale using letter grades as given
below:
Letter Grade Numerical Grade Percentage

O (Outstanding) 10 ≥ 85
A+ (Excellent) 9 ≥ 75 to < 85
A (Very Good) 8 ≥ 65 to < 75
B+ (Good) 7 ≥ 55 to < 65
B (Above average) 6 ≥ 50 to < 55
C (Average) 5 ≥ 40 to < 50
D (Pass) 4 ≥ 35 to < 40
F (Fail) 0 < 35
Ab (Absent) 0 Absent
You are required to secure a minimum of ‘D’ grade in both continuous

evaluation as well as the term-end examination of courses. Students who do
not qualify in the term-end examination of a particular year are allowed to
take up the term-end examinations in that same course within the maximum
duration of the programme.
6.1 Assignments
Assignments constitute the continuous evaluation component of a course
and working on the assignments is compulsory. Assignments for MA (JMC)
are uploaded on the University website. There are a total of 6 Assignments
for the theory courses. You will have to submit the assignments responses at
the Study Centres. These will be evaluated by Academic Counsellors within
a specified time to provide feedback to you.
You have to complete the assignments on time. You will not be allowed to
appear for the term-end-examination for a course if you do not submit the
specified assignments in time for that course. If you appear in term-end
examination without submitting the assignments, then the result of term-end
examination is liable to be cancelled.
The main purpose of assignments is to test your comprehension of the

learning material you receive from us and also to help you get through the
courses by providing feedback to you. The information given in the printed
20
course material should be sufficient for answering the assignments. Please
do not worry about the non-availability of extra reading material for working
on the assignments. However, if you have easy access to other books, you
may make use of them. But the assignments are designed in such a way to
help you concentrate mainly on the printed course material and make use of
your personal experience.
For MA (JMC) programme of 64 credits there are a total of 12 Tutor Marked

Assignments (TMAs) which are evaluated by the counsellors. Some of
the assignments are knowledge based and some are of application based.
Assignments which are knowledge based will require you to write essay type
answers. For answering applied type of assignments, you should apply the
knowledge you have gained through a Unit/Block/Course. In either case,
the answers should be your own. You must not reproduce text material
verbatim or copy the information from other sources. However, you can
make use of the material and information you have at your disposal in an
innovative way. You can pick up ideas from whatever sources you may
have. However, plan and use them in your own words when you write the
answers to the assignments.
The following norms have to be strictly practiced when you work on

assignments:
• The answer should be precise, well documented and relevant to the

question.
• Keep the word-limit of the answer in mind. A slight variation in length
does not matter, but your answer should not be too short or too lengthy.
Avoid discussing minor issues at great length. By setting a word-limit
for some assignments, we mean to convey that a reasonably adequate
response can be presented within the suggested word-limit.
• Assignments are uploaded on IGNOU website (https://webservices.
ignou.ac.in/assignments/).
• The assignment responses should be complete in all respects. Before
submission, you should ensure that you have answered all the
questions in all assignments as incomplete answers bring poor grades.
• You must submit your assignments according to the schedule indicated
in the assignments. The University/Coordinator of the Study Centre
has the right to reject the assignments received after the due date. In
case you get the assignments and study material late, the assignment
responses should be submitted within one month of the date of the
receipt of study material and assignment or within the due date given
in the schedule whichever is later.
• For your own record, retain a copy of all the answers to assignments
which you submit to the Coordinator of your Study Centre. If you
21
do not get back the evaluated assignments within a month of their
submission, please try to get them from your Study Centre personally.
This may help you to improve your answers for your future
assignments.
• Maintain an account of all the corrected responses to assignments
received by you after evaluation. This will help you to correspond
with the University in case any problem arises in future.
• If you are unable to submit your assignments or are unable to score
the minimum qualifying grade ‘D’, you have to collect/download,
attempt and submit the assignments meant for the next batch of
students. The request for new assignments in prescribed form may be
addressed to: Registrar, Material Production & Distribution Division
(MPDD), IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi-110068.
• In case you find that the score indicated in the assignment sheet of
your assignments has not been correctly reflected in your grade card,
you are advised to contact the Coordinator of your Study Centre
with a request to forward correct authenticated award list (through
respective Regional Centre) to the Registrar, Student Evaluation
Division, IGNOU.
• Once you get the pass grade in an assignment you cannot re-submit
it for improvement of grade. Assignments are not subject to re-
evaluation except for factual errors, if any. The discrepancy noticed
by you in the evaluated assignments should be brought to the notice
of the Coordinator of your Study Centre.
• Do not enclose or express doubts for clarification, if any, along with
the assignments. Send requests for seeking clarifications in a separate
cover to: Dy. Registrar, Student Evaluation Division, IGNOU, Maidan
Garhi, New Delhi-100068.
When doing so, give your complete enrolment number, name, address, title
of the course and the number of the unit or the assignment on the top of your
letter.
Specific Instruction for Assignments
• Write you Enrolment Number, Name, Full Address, Signature and

Date on the top of right hand corner of the first page of your response
sheet.
• Write the Programme Title, Course Code, Course Title, Assignment
Code and Name of your Study Centre on the left hand of the first page
of your response sheet. Course code and Assignment Code may be
reproduced from the assignments.
The top of the first page of your response sheet for each assignment should
thus look like the following:
22
PROGRAMME TITLE........................... ENROLMENT NO...............
PROGRAMME CODE ........................... NAME...................................
ADDRESS...............................
.................................................
.................................................
COURSE CODE.....................................
COURSE TITLE.....................................
ASSGINMENT CODE........................... SIGNATURE ...........................
STUDY CENTRE.................................. DATE........................................
• Read the assignments carefully and follow specific instructions, if

any, given along with the assignments.
• Go through the units on which the assignment is based, note the points
relating to the question, rearrange those points in a logical order and
work out a rough outline to your answer. Give adequate attention to
the introduction and the conclusion. In the introduction, you should
give a brief interpretation of the question and how you propose to
develop the answer. The conclusion should summarise your response
to the question. Make sure that the answer is logical and coherent. The
answer should be divided into appropriate paragraphs. The answer
should be relevant to the question given in the assignment. Make sure
you have attempted all the main points of the question. Once you are
satisfied with your answer, write down the final version neatly and
underline the points you wish to emphasize.
• Use only A- 4 size paper for your response and tie all the pages
carefully. Avoid using thin paper. Allow a 4 cm margin on the left
side and at least a few lines between each answer. This may facilitate
the evaluator to write useful comments on the margin at appropriate
places.
• Write the responses to assignments in your handwriting. Do not print

or type the answers.
• Do not copy from the response sheet of other students. If copying is

noticed, the assignment of such student will be rejected.
• Answer to each assignment should be written on a separate set of

papers.
• Write the question number and the question before writing the answer.
• The completed assignment should be sent only to the Coordinator of

the Study Centre allotted to you. Do not send it to the SED, IGNOU,
New Delhi.
23
• After submitting the assignment at the Study Centre, get the
acknowledgement from the Coordinator on the prescribed assignment
remittance-cum-acknowledgement card.
• In case you have requested for a change of Study Centre, you should
submit your assignments only to the original Study Centre that has
been allotted to you by the University.
• The University sends study materials and assignments, wherever

prescribed to the students by registered post and if a student does not
receive the same for any reason whatsoever, the University shall not
be held responsible for that.
6.2 Term-End Examination

As stated earlier, term-end examination is another component of the
evaluation system. For MA (JMC) programme the Term-end examination
(TEE) carries 70% weightage in the final result.
Term-end examinations are held twice in a year in June and December. In

the first year of enrolment, you are eligible to take the examination only
after completion of one year of the programme. Subsequently, you can
appear in June or December Term End Examination. This is to ensure that
the student completes the minimum duration of the programme, i.e., one
year by the time s/he appears in the examination.
Dates and the venue of the examination will be intimated to you in time by
the Registrar, Student Evaluation Division of the University.
To be eligible to appear at the term-end examination, you are required to

fulfill the following conditions:
• All the required assignments have been submitted within the due
dates.
• The fee has been fully paid.
• The examination form has been submitted in time (which is explained

later).
Examination date sheet schedule which indicates the date and time of
examination for each course is sent to all the Study Centres sufficiently in
advance.
It is essential pre-requisite for you to submit the Examination Form for

taking examination in any course. Copies of the examination form are
available at Study Centres/Regional Centres/Student Evaluation Division
at Headquarters. Only one form is to be submitted for all the courses in one
term-end examination.
The filled-in examination form along with necessary fee is to be submitted at

the respective Regional Centres. The last date for submission of examination
24
forms without late fee for June TEE is 1st March to 31st March. For
December TEE the submission of examination form without late fee is 1st
September to 30th September. Students may visit IGNOU website www.
ignou.ac.in for updated schedule (for submission of examination forms -
without late fee and with late fee).
After receiving the examination form from you, the University will send
an Intimation Slip to you before the commencement of examination. If
you do not receive the intimation slip 10 days before the commencement
of examination, you may download from the website or contact your Study
Centre or Regional Centre or SED at the Headquarters. If your name is
registered for examination in the list sent to the Study Centre, even if you
have not received the intimation slip or have misplaced the intimation slip,
you can take the examination by showing your Identity Card (Student card)
to the Superintendent of the examination centre. If your name does not
appear in the list of examinees, you will not be allowed to take examination
without prior authorisation by the Registrar, SED, IGNOU, New Delhi.
Your Study Centre is normally your examination centre. Change of
examination centre is permissible in exceptional cases for which you have
to make a request to: Registrar, SED, IGNOU, New Delhi-110068, at least
one month before the commencement of the examination. The request
received at the Headquarters thereafter will not be entertained. It is your
responsibility to check whether you are registered for a particular course
and whether you are eligible to appear for that examination or not. If you
neglect this and take the examination without being eligible for it, your
result will be cancelled.
The Study Centre is the contact point for you. The University cannot
send communication to all the students individually. All the important
communication would be sent to the Coordinators of the Study Centres and
Regional Directors and uploaded on University website.
The Coordinator will display a copy of such important circulars/notifications
on the notice board of the Study Centre for the benefit of all the students.
You are, therefore, advised to keep in touch with your Coordinator so that
you get advance information about assignments, submission of examination
forms, date sheet, list of students admitted to a particular examination,
declaration of result etc.
While communicating with the University regarding examination, please
clearly write the name of the programme, enrolment number and your
complete address. In the absence of such details, your problem may not be
attended to. The University normally may require 45 days to intimate the
result of a particular term-end examination. Once you receive your results
and if you find that you have passed in that course, you need not appear for
that course again.
Students may appear for one or more theory course at a time. If you are
unable to clear all the theory courses in the first attempt or do not wish to
appear in all the subjects at a time, you can clear them in the subsequent
examinations. You are free to appear for as many courses as you like at a
time. However, you must clear all the courses within five years of your
admission.
