Hi Ash, the syllabus of IIMC entrance examination includes everything general and political. If I have to break it down and give you few generic examples, then I would say, general awareness, basic understanding about the social dynamics, awareness about all economic and social issues, knowledge about international affairs and how the power dynamic of the world works, the impact of the said power dynamics on India etc. Apart from these, they also look for your language capabilities, comprehension skills, analytic skills and a little bit of aptitude. So brush up your social awareness well and practice your writing skills and you will be good for the written test. Hope it helps!

Dear Rajan,It depends upon your choice and your capability. Nowadays there are a number of private news channels and media houses that offer journalism and mass comm. Courses. There is one benefit of pursuing your studies from reputed private organizations like the Times of India, ZEE, Jagran or AAFT that you get internships in these organisations easily and if you perform better, you may also get the full-time job in the same organisation in the name of the same Brand. But, remember, government organisation is always the best option to choose. It is safe and there is no chance of any fraud. Other than this, if you are certified from a good college and university, you automatically get benefits.
