Journalism and Mass Communication (J&MC) education in India has traversed a long way and is yet to find a firm footing in the academic matrix. History apart, there are many issues that concern the educators, professionals and students. These issues range from curriculum design and development to developing a viable and constant relationship with the media industry that has outpaced the growth of the education sector, particularly in the university system. Utilizing a variety of sources spanning from documents pertaining to the discipline published by the University Grants Commission (UGC) to senior academicians who developed many programmes in various Indian universities and abroad to forums where the academia and the professionals have met and debated the concerns, this article provides a review and critique as it has evolved over the years. The recent spurt of Media backed J&MC schools is also referred to where their claim of turning out better professionals is weighed against the older university system. Drawing from surveys and studies in which the author was involved, alumni and industry perspectives are also offered.
