Dhiren Dukhu is currently working with Financial Chronicle as a Sr. sub-editor.There's is nothing more interesting than to write How to do something. But unfortunately, sometimes, it is the most boring thing to read. However, I hope, my words will benefit the future IIMCians.
For interview: The standard questions asked are:
Why do u want to join journalism?
Answer for this questions = no of readers. Nothing very fundo. All you need to do is to be clear in your head. Do you really want to do it? Or coming just for another interview. Many people have a notion that journalism is not a very well paying job. Initially you will feel, that your MBA would have been better.

Trust me, its 100% false. Money is floating in the air, and you just have to be smart enough to grab it. Coming back to the interview, you can quote examples which have influenced your decision to become a journalist. It doesn't mean that the life-changing incedent has to evolve from a personal experience. It can be fictional also. If you can justify yourself, you are half way through.
Why IIMC?
I hope, I don't have to answer this question. IIMC is the best. Noted journalist have been trained here. And the recent generation of IIMCians is ferociously working towards the progress of the institute. If you are still fiddling for an answer, you can say: Quality of faculties, friends who have studied from the instittue (if you know any one). Be it IIMC or any other institute, always remember, every insittute has an ego. So, don't try to be oversmart.
These are the two basic questions which will be asked to you.

For the GD or group discussion:
Quote news reports extensively. The more you'd quote them, the brighter your chances will be. Unlike GDs for B-schools, the concentration is on the person's knowledge, while behaviour is not extremely important. This does not mean that you turn the meeting into a fish market.
Don't exhibit your lexicon. Keep your points short and simple. You should present your views in a balanced way. Take a side. Avoid being neutral (there's nothing wrong in it) on subject of discussion.
If you have more queries, shoot them, many IIMCians will answer that.
