    My Tests

I am studying in FYJC COMMERCE. My question is related to media and I want to know the curriculum of BMM course offered by Mumbai University and I also want to know whether any campus placement facility offer by any college or not. I know that in final year of BMM we can take either Advt. or Journalism but I want details of these specialisations.
