In today's times, a student's life has become even more competitive than before. There are many options to study any subject or field of one's choice at a graduation. However it has become very essential to pursue a post graduation course which will further boost one's job options and help you have an edge over other students. Thus this led me to pursue my Masters Degree in Public Relations which will play a key role in accelerating a student's career graph. Therefore it has become very important to do something after your graduation.
Hence after i completed my graduation i was pondering which career to pursue. I discovered my interest in the field of Public Relations and thus did an internship in a reputed Public Relations agency which sparked in me the desire to study this field in greater detail. I decided to do my Masters in Public Relations and started searching for courses in this field, thats when i came across the Masters in Public Relations Degree course in the University of Mumbai at Kalina Campus in the Department of Communication and Journalism. This course was my best bet as it is the only Degree course in the field of Public Relations as the rest are diploma courses. And thus i applied for this course.
The application process comprised of submitting an SOP (Statement of Purpose) stating in 1000 words 'why you want to do this course' and two recommendation letters by academicians from your graduation college and a attested copy of your TY mark sheet. Further details were given as to when would the entrance exam be held and was then followed by a group discussion and a personal interview. I went through this application process, submitted my documents and got selected for the course.
