In the industry, in manufacturing sectors, this field has emerging and we need people with technical writing skills for the development of science and technology and they are capable in working wherever computer and human interaction is involved. Technical communication is act of communication through the technology. Researchers and companies are striving to bridge the inclusive nature of society by developing more accessible technologies. Technical writing techniques have also changed due to a massive influence of software and digital technology in the authoring process. Today, there are so many different technical writing tools available that it becomes a hard choice as well as the fact that their usage has to be mastered. This study is a descriptive Qualitative study of emerging trends and challenges in technical communication in educational perspective in Post Graduate Media Programmes.
The researcher has adopted qualitative focus group methodology in order to bring insights from
Subject experts of Post graduate media Programmes ,experts from learning management systems and post graduate students from media institutions . Media professors teach subjects like Communication skills, Theories of communication, Communication Research methods, Technical Communication, Television Studies, Videography, Graphic design, Multimedia, Drawing and Animation, Photography, Film language, Audio and Video editing using various visual aids and software in the field of Visual communication and Electronic media.

The study states that teachers using technical communication had an impact on education in post graduate media programmes. The researcher concludes that the technical communication is challenging among faculties and students and creates a new platform for the learning system with many number of online tools in computer and mobile applications and for a better effective learning we need to take physical classes face to face using visual tools in the blended learning process.
