A groundbreaking step toward standardizing exams for students aspiring to work in the media industry was taken with the introduction of the Global Media Common Entrance Test (GMCET) by the Global Media Education Council (GMEC). The goal of this historic endeavor is to establish a standard for students taking media education courses worldwide.

With esteemed members representing a wide range of disciplines, GMEC plays an active part in informing learning methods, assessment instruments, and talent acquisition for media schools. The Council also seeks to act as a go-between for media teachers, students, and recruiters from the industry, to have academic courses mirror changing industry requirements.

GMEC is first being set up in India as a non-profit entity, complying with Indian law. The Council does have big plans to grow, though, with national chapters in various nations and an international governing body to oversee media education standards globally.

There are many advantages to getting evaluated for a media job. First of all, it enables people to assess whether they are qualified for a career in this industry. Expert guidance on a range of media specializations, possibilities, and necessary skills is also offered by academic and industry professionals. After finishing, students obtain a standardized score that many Indian universities accept, giving them priority entrance. Additionally, through GMEC member universities, this assessment provides access to intriguing professional prospects such as internships, live media projects, and placement chances.

One of the top Indian education portals, EdInbox.com, helped design and support the GMCET concept. The portal's management team will play a key role in helping the Council accomplish its objectives effectively. This action is a huge step toward bridging the gap between academia and business by introducing a structured, standardized, and globally recognized approach to media education
