To get into IIMC is not so much difficult as many have created havoc about the entrance process. I never specially prepared for the test, all I was doing was reading newspaper on an everyday basis and surfing news on credible news websites.

Last year, when I went to my exam centre, I was really afraid of seeing many students carrying notes of different institutes, bulky books of great publishers and discussing probable questions. They were mugging up something which I failed to understand. For a little while, my confidence was dying. However, I took a long breath and started writing my papers

I found that no institutes, no books and no golden tips are really required to crack the written part. If you are really serious in the media field, it should be natural in you- to be aware of at least all big stories around you, you should be keen to know the socio-political conditions of our society. Moreover, you should have your own justified viewpoints about various issues. And this ability comes only if you read and read and watch.

I am sorry, I am writing this blog at the wee hours but my preparations were never better than yours. You still have days. So go ahead, open the links of The Hindu, The Indian Express, Read 5-6 previous issues of magazines for awareness on issues like women security, food security bill, land acquisition bill, capital Cs corporal punishment, Coal scam, Direct Cash Transfer scheme, MGNREGA, Indo-China relations, Pakistan elections, Karnataka elections, Justice Verma committee ,Media regulations etc.

The most important thing to be careful about being time and quality of answers which should be precise and clear. A positive approach to your debate would favor of course. So be confident, tie your lace and go for it!
