Hi Aishee,
There's no specific syllabus for the entrance exam. But questions come from films, media, current affairs and GK. And there's a section of creative writing where you will have to write an essay, pictorial interpretation note, a story with provided words, etc.
The eligibility criteria is quite simple. Till last year, one had to get 60% in aggregate (best of 4) in 10+2 to apply for the course. And the final list is prepared on the basis of your 10+2 and entrance exam marks.
