A.J.K. Mass Communication Research Centre Cut Off Details

A.J.K. Mass Communication Research Centre, New Delhi – Cut Offs

A.J.K. Mass Communication Research Centre (AJK MCRC) at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, determines admissions through its own entrance exam, with cut-offs varying by category, course, and year based on applicant numbers and performance. Cut-offs represent the minimum marks (out of 100) required for shortlisting to interviews/portfolios, reflecting high competition for limited seats (e.g., 40-60 per MA program). Trends show General category cut-offs typically above 60%, with relaxations for reserved categories; 2025 data aligns with prior years' patterns of slight fluctuations.

Admission Criteria

  • Eligibility requires a bachelor's degree with 50% marks (45% for some categories) in any discipline for MA/PG Diploma programs; selection combines entrance test (55% weightage), interview (30%), and portfolio (15%).
  • The JMI Entrance Exam is objective/descriptive, covering English, media awareness, reasoning, and current affairs.
  • Muslim minority quotas (30% seats) and categories like Jamia alumni/J&K candidates also influence cut-offs.
