Read A Newspaper, Land In IIMC

Krishna is a journalist by heart. Keen observer and traveler. Want to travel entire world however to start with, India. Currently a freelancer and thinking of turning into an entrepreneur. Passout of EJ 2010-11 English Journalism and Organisation Secretary, IIMC Alumni Association, Maharashtra Chapter.

I had written about the preparations last year and thought of writing this year too. There is nothing impossible in the world. So please leave behind all the notions like oh IIMC, that’s very tough etc.

Since I had written about the preparations last year too, this year I intend to keep my write up short and sweet. You can check my last blogs here.

- BeUpdated, That’s It

- Confidence is The Key

Read at least one newspaper thoroughly, more you read the better it is, however at least one newspaper is compulsory.  And yes don’t join any coaching classes. They aren’t necessary at all.

Reading newspapers, and keeping abreast with the current affairs is a must to crack IIMC entrance, and do continue with the habit, even when you land here. 

Elections and campaigning was the big thing of the last year, so do expect questions on these lines this year. For e.g. you could be asked, did Narendra Modi do the right thing by starting campaign so early? Now since all of us have seen the result of it, don’t fear to write your opinion even if it is contradictory to what the results have been. After all IIMC expects you to have the thought of your own and not going according to the flow.

Also do keep the track of other events happened during last one year, like food security bill, emergence of AAP in Delhi etc. 

Though I wasn’t an AD/PR student and didn’t appear for that exam still I would like to give a tip to the prospective students. 

You should know the one liners, ad campaigns used by the political parties in this election season. You could be asked about the differences between BJP’s ‘India Shining’ and ‘अच्छे दिन आनेवाले है’ campaigns. Know the persons behind these campaigns.

Let me assure you that these are going to be the best 9 months of your life at IIMC and you would cherish these memories for the lifetime.

Good luck !!
