Video Jockey / Radio Jockey / Disc Jockey

From time to time, channels invite young aspirants for VJ hunts and radio channels invite people for the RJ hunts. Else one can apply directly to the channel for audition and start working as an intern. People begin early in DJ industry and learn while assisting the established DJ’s. Many models and actors have become VJs.

There is no education route to be a VJ/DJ/RJ. There are short term certificate and diploma courses and some mass communication courses have radio jockeying as part of their syllabus. Some personality enhancement courses and language course can equip one in becoming a VJ.

There are no institutes that offer course in VJ.

To be a DJ one must have knowledge about DJ mixer (which is used to mix the music) and other equipment and sound mixing.
