Should you pick BA JMC at Galgotias University?
This course suits students who want newsroom practice near Delhi and want a seat on Class 12 marks, without an entrance exam.
Pick it if:
You want newsroom practice while you study: The Hindu has a centre on this campus with newsroom visits, workshops and internships with its editors.
You want to be close to TV news channels: Noida Film City, where many news channels have studios, is in the same district.
You want the fee back fast: at the median pay of INR 4 LPA, the full fee without hostel comes back within the first working year.
You did not write CUET: the course has no entrance exam, though a CUET or SAT score moves you up the merit list.
Skip it if:
You want proof that media students get jobs here: there is no placement report for this course, and the 67% figure covers all UG 3-year students.
You need a hostel on a tight budget: hostel and mess add INR 4.80 Lakhs over three years, which is more than the course fee itself.
You plan to take two scholarships: the university lets you hold only one, so claim the biggest one before the last date of admission.
You want a research degree: the 4-year BA (Hons. with Research) in the same department has the same yearly tuition fee, so pick it at admission.
Counsellor's advice
If you have 50% in Class 12, apply early and add a CUET score if you can. Before you pay, ask the department in writing for this course's own placement list.

In short
LPU pays a higher median, but its fee is INR 1.51 Lakhs more and it is in Punjab. If you want to study near Delhi on a smaller fee, take Galgotias; if pay matters most and you can move, look at LPU.
In short
Chandigarh University places a bigger share of its UG batch, but its course takes four years and costs more. If you want a three-year degree at a lower fee, take Galgotias; if a fourth year suits you, compare both placement lists.
In short
Chitkara places more of its UG batch and pays a little more, but its four-year course costs INR 2.37 Lakhs more. If the fee is your main worry, take Galgotias; if you can pay more for a higher placement rate, look at Chitkara.
In short
Amity Noida is in the same region and places a slightly bigger share of its UG batch, but it does not publish a full course fee. If its fee letter comes far above Galgotias, take the Galgotias seat for a similar median.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on Galgotias University BA JMC
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is BA JMC at Galgotias worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you can live at home or pay for the hostel. The full fee without hostel is INR 3.33 Lakhs, and the university's UG 3-year median pay was INR 4 LPA, so the fee can come back in the first working year. With hostel the total rises to INR 8.13 Lakhs, so check the hostel toggle in the fee block before you decide.
What job can I get after this course?▾
The course trains you for media work such as reporting, writing and video, but the university has no placement report for this course. Its UG 3-year batch of 2025 placed 67% of students across all subjects. Use The Hindu centre on campus for internships, and build a portfolio from year 1, because media jobs ask for your work.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need proof of media jobs before you join, or if a hostel is out of your budget. The placement figures are for all UG 3-year students, not this course. Hostel and mess add INR 4.80 Lakhs over three years, which is more than the course fee. If either matters most, ask the department for its own placement list first.
Should I take the 3-year BA or the 4-year BA (Hons. with Research) here?▾
Take the 3-year BA if you want to start work sooner. Take the 4-year course if you plan on a master's degree or research. Both have the same yearly tuition fee of INR 90,000, so the fourth year adds one more year of fees. Decide at admission, because the two are separate courses on the fee list.
Is this course good if I want to work in TV news?▾
It can be, if you use what is close to the campus. The campus is in the same district as Noida Film City, where many news channels have studios, and The Hindu has a journalism centre here. The university publishes no channel-wise hiring list, so ask the department which channels took its interns last year.
Should I wait a year to write CUET for a better merit position?▾
No, not for this course alone. There is no entrance exam and the minimum is 50% in Class 12, so a CUET score only moves you up the merit list. A year lost costs more than the 5% CUET scholarship gives back. Write CUET in the same year if you can, and apply early.
Is the hostel worth it, or should I stay outside?▾
Take the hostel if you come from outside the region and want to be on campus. A non-AC room with mess costs INR 1.60 Lakhs a year, and boys share twin rooms while girls share triple rooms. If you live nearby, staying at home cuts the total from INR 8.13 Lakhs to INR 3.33 Lakhs.
Will I get placed through the university after this course?▾
Placement support is open to all students, but there is no published record for this course. The UG 3-year batch of 2025 placed 67% at a median of INR 4 LPA, and these numbers mix every subject. Plan your own internships from year 2, and use the newsroom visits The Hindu centre offers.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Apply online on the university admission portal and pay the INR 1,200 form fee. The university picks students on Class 12 marks, and a CUET or SAT score gives you preference. If selected, you get a provisional offer letter, then bring originals for the document check and pay the fee in time, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 3-year fee is INR 3.33 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 8.13 Lakhs. These are the 2026-27 fees, so check the fee block above for the latest figures before you pay.
Which scholarship can I get?▾
It depends on your Class 12 marks and your family. 95% or more takes 25% off the tuition fee, or INR 67,500 over the course, and EWS students with an income up to INR 4 Lakhs get 20%. You can hold only one scholarship, so use the calculator above and claim the biggest one at admission.
Can I join in the second year from another university?▾
Yes. You can move here after year 1 of a BA JMC elsewhere if you scored 50% in it. You then study two years here at the same yearly tuition fee of INR 90,000. Bring your year 1 marksheet and migration papers when you apply.
Admission at the university involves submitting a marksheet, filling out a form, paying a fee, and providing document copies. The faculty is considered knowledgeable and approachable, with a student-to-faculty ratio of 60:1 and a mentor system with a 1:10 ratio. The examination structure includes three exams per semester. The university is affordable compared to Sharda and Amity, offering financial aid and student loans, though with strict follow-ups for fee submission.
The fee structure varies by course; for example, BTech costs 169,000 INR for the first year, and BJMC costs 92,000 INR annually. There is a one-time admission fee of 25,000 INR and an examination fee of 1,000 INR per semester. The university boasts a placement rate of at least 70%, ranking second in Uttar Pradesh. The highest salary package ranges from 8-22 LPA, with an average of 4-8.75 LPA. Major recruiters include Deloitte, Wipro, TCS, Infosys, and Amazon.
The placement cell assists with internships, offering stipends from INR 4,000 to 7,500 per month and starting at 12,000 INR for jobs. The university emphasizes skill development and practical experience, especially in the final year. Scholarships are primarily for local students from Uttar Pradesh based on academic performance, with additional discounts for early fee payments. No tuition fee hikes have been reported, highlighting the university's commitment to affordability.
