Question: I am 18 years old studing in FY Bcom. Well, I am much worried about the career line i should go for. I mean I have plenty of thoughts in my mind but no strong idea to go for what. I am planning to do a six months diploma course of advertisement and public relations and then go for GNIIT. However i am not sure that wheather i am really capable of doing GNIT or not. because i am not really interested in computers but my teachers says that its very much worth. Please suggest me what am i suppose to do??? And also if you can suggest me some nice courses....
Answer: Always remember what ever you do, you should have proper interest and aptitude in the field. So if you don't have any interest in computers then there is no need of entering that field and spending so much amount as the courses offered by GNIIT are quite expensive.

As far as diploma course in advertising and public relations are concerned, many institutes and universities offer P.G graduate diploma courses like:
