Mystory@Somali Bajpai: How I chose my course and college
Hailing from a small town, I always wanted to explore the world. I am a person who is creative, loves to socialize and is good at networking. When the time for choosing my career arrived, I was pretty sure about pursuing Mass Communication after Class 12. My parents too agreed with me. However, they wanted me to take up Science in Class 11 and 12. So the deal was, I will study Science in Class 11, 12, and will pursue Mass Communication in Graduation.
How I cracked college admission
I did not take any coaching for getting admission at both GGSIPU at Graduation level and IIMC at Post-Graduation level. Also, I would say I did not feel the need of coaching as Mass Communication is a very subjective and general subject where all you need is to be aware of current affairs, read newspapers and some self-preparation.
So, rather than wasting time and money in coaching classes I will say one should prepare for entrance exams on their own. Just be aware of what is happening around for which read newspaper daily.
What I learned in my college years
My college life was good. As I wanted to shift to Delhi, I luckily got admission in the courses of my choice in two of Delhi’s best colleges. I learnt a lot of things in my college which helped me groom my personality, gave me exposure, gave me opportunities to meet new people, interact and indulge in productive communications which further helped me widen my perspective.
I think I have made the right decision in choosing my career because I have got the right exposure and have been lucky to work under the best bosses and learnt from the scratch. I have no regrets and I have not committed any mistakes in choosing the path which brought where I am today.
After my post-graduation in ADPR I joined Adfactors PR as Account Executive and now I am working as PR Consultant in PR Pundit.
I think I have always kept one thing in mind, “Do what your heart says and rest will follow” and this has helped me in long run. From the time I decided that I want to pursue this career till where I am today.
