Hey If we consider top 10 Mass Comm institutes for Masters admission, the age must not exceed 27 (including all category). Some institutes have stated their age limit under eligibility, but it mostly varies from one institution to another. The private institute does not state any age limitation for admission. It will help if you can list out the institute you aspire to take admission in. Asian College of Journalism mentions no such condition. Also, Symbiosis Centre for Media and Communication offering BA in Mass Comm under its FAQs states "there is no age limit" But, IIMC admits candidates with a maximum age of 25 (general category). The prospectus mention "Date of birth: For general category candidates: 1.8.1992 or later. For SC/ST/Physically Handicapped candidates, the date is 1.8.1987 or later. For OBC category, it is 1.8.1989 or later."

Hope this helps!
