While I was pursuing my graduation, I had my minds set in the field of communication. I was introduced to Advertising as a subject and I quite liked it. The various forms of communications intrigued me; be it Advertising or Public relations. I decided to take up communications as my specialization in my masters. I looked for a lot of courses offered in India, but I did not found them the way I was looking for. Mass communication was something I was not looking for, while most of the colleges offered mass communications.
I finally got what I wanted after speaking to a distant cousin in the same field. She suggested me of her college where ‘Integrated Marketing Communication’ was the course offered. It was a culminated curriculum of Mass communication and Advertising courses in one. According to her, the South Delhi college imprints the marketing theories and concepts in the minds of the students and the communication as a means to achieve the success of marketing.
As the name suggests, the course was an integration of communication and marketing and it quenched my interest of both. I chose to join the college, and it was a decision which I would never regret! The hectic schedule and presentations in all the semesters of the college opened avenues in the field of Public relations careers, jobs in Event management, Market research, Journalism, Advertising etc. We were in constant touch with our creative self and we were allotted with projects which nurtured or analytical skills as well. In all, we were given a holistic training and till date, I benefit from what I learnt in my college. Thanks to the excellent faculty who would give us industry insights and classes used to turn into discussion rooms. I found the course way liberating than some mass communication course. We had the option of choosing our field for specialization after we have been exposed to all kinds of communication techniques used for marketing.
