Should you pick BA Mass Communication at Bennett University?
This course suits students who want a media job in news, PR or advertising and can pay a private university fee.
Pick it if:
You want to learn from working journalists: editors and managers from Times Now, Radio Mirchi and Times Internet teach some modules of this course.
You want a PR or ad agency job: past batches joined Weber Shandwick, McCann Worldgroup, Genesis BCW and Archetype PR through campus placement.
You want to try every medium first: you work in the TV studio, the radio studio and the student paper before you pick a specialisation.
You scored 90% or more in your best of 3: apply early, because scholarships go first come and the 2026 pool ran out before admissions closed.
Skip it if:
You want the fee back fast: the average pay of INR 4.15 LPA is less than half the full fee of INR 10.69 Lakhs.
You are counting on a big offer: the highest offer was INR 18 LPA, but the average pay is INR 4.15 LPA.
You want a cheap room: a campus triple room costs INR 1.70 Lakhs a year and can rise up to 7% each year.
You may change your mind after joining: the refund policy gave full money back only till 30 Sep 2026, so decide before you pay.
Counsellor's advice
If your best of 3 is 90% or more, apply in the first round and lock the scholarship. If it is under 75%, pay only after you compare the fee with the average pay.

In short
Sharda costs much less for the same three years and its hostel is cheaper too. If you want the Times Group studios and teachers, pay for Bennett University; if the fee is your limit, pick Sharda.
In short
Galgotias has the lowest fee here and asks for only 50% in Class 12. If your marks are under 60%, Galgotias is your option; if you clear 60% and can pay, Bennett University gives more industry teaching.
In short
LPU costs less than half the fee for the same three years, but it is far from the Delhi media houses. If you want to intern near Noida while you study, take Bennett University.
In short
Chandigarh University offers a four-year course for less tuition, but four years of hostel cost more. If you want your degree in three years, Bennett University is the shorter route.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on Bennett University BA Mass Communication
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is BA Mass Communication at Bennett University worth the fee?▾
It is worth it if you want industry teaching and can pay. The full fee without hostel is INR 10.69 Lakhs and the latest average pay is INR 4.15 LPA, so the fee takes more than two years of that pay. If you need a loan, check the EMI tile in the fee block before you decide.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students go into news, PR, advertising or digital marketing roles. Past batches joined NDTV, Times Now, Times Internet, Hindustan Times, McCann Worldgroup and Weber Shandwick. The latest average is INR 4.15 LPA, so plan for a modest first salary and build a portfolio from year 1.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if the fee is your main limit or if you want a big first package. The full fee is INR 10.69 Lakhs without hostel, while the average pay is INR 4.15 LPA. If you only want a degree and not the studio work, a cheaper BA in media will serve you better.
Should I take this course if my best of 3 is just above 60%?▾
Yes, you can, but you will pay the full fee. 60% is the minimum, and the merit scholarship starts only at 75%. Apply in the first round, because seats go first come. Check the scholarship calculator above to see what you would pay.
Is the fourth Honours year worth taking?▾
Take it if you plan a master's degree or research work. Every student is enrolled in Honours, and year 4 adds ten courses for 160 credits in all. It also adds one more year of tuition at INR 3.25 Lakhs. If you want a job after year 3, you can leave Honours in any semester.
Will I get placed if I am an average student?▾
Most likely you will get an offer, but a smaller one. The highest offer was INR 18 LPA, while the top 10 percentile averaged INR 6.66 LPA and the overall average was INR 4.15 LPA. Build your work in the studios and the student paper, as recruiters ask for it.
Should I wait for a scholarship before I pay?▾
No, apply early instead of waiting. Scholarships go first come, and the 2026 pool ran out before admissions closed. If your best of 3 is 75% or more, apply in the first round of the 2027 cycle and pay the enrolment fee by the date in your offer letter.
Is this course right for me if I want to work in TV or radio?▾
Yes, if you want studio training. The TV studio was built with Times Now and the radio studio with Radio Mirchi, and Broadcasting is one of the four specialisations. Pick Broadcasting when you choose your specialisation and use the studios from the first year.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
There is no entrance exam. Fill the form on the admission portal, upload your Class 12 marks within 7 days of the result and wait for the offer letter. Then pay the enrolment fee by the date in the letter, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 3-year fee is INR 10.69 Lakhs without hostel and INR 15.79 Lakhs with a triple room on campus. Both totals sit in the fee block above. Day scholars also pay INR 26,000 a year for sports, and the security deposit comes back when you leave.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee once a year, INR 3.25 Lakhs each time, and the examination charges in two parts a year. If you need more help, the university has an education loan partner page; talk to the Admission Cell before the fee date.
Do I get the fee back if I leave?▾
It depends on when you leave. For the 2026 batch, a request by 30 Sep 2026 got a full refund, and one till 31 Oct 2026 lost up to INR 1,000. Read the refund policy for your year before you pay.
Is the hostel compulsory?▾
No. You can stay as a day scholar, but then you pay INR 26,000 a year for sports. A triple room on campus costs INR 1.70 Lakhs a year. Nalanda Living is an off-campus hostel option, and students there do not pay the sports charge.

There is a 100% placement rate through a student-run board, networking, and internships.
