Be the Jack of all trade and master of one !

I don't think there is a guide or tutorial for how to crack the mass com exam, but of course, having a nose for whatever is happening around always helps.

 

First, ask yourself have you enjoyed reading news papers or magazines or have you discussed any art film in context of the changing socio-political scenario of the land? If the answer is positive, then you are in, otherwise it is hard to crack.

 

Some year ago, i answered a lot of questions asked on orkut's IIMC community and the summary was to have curiosity, no hesitation while asking and being a great listener. It is something where students from Bihar and UP win as they are used to prepare for various examination rights from class 10th onwards. It does not mean that others do not crack it.

 

I think that whoever has the habit of reading two newspapers daily with magazines and watches TV debates, it is easy to crack.

 

Second, don't have the reluctance or feeling of hate toward politics as there are many questions related to that even if it is from economics or business.

 

The keyword is; if you have interest in NDA-UPA game, and you know Zardari and Obama, you have a chance. But don't forget Prachanda as well, no matter he controlled a tiny country called Nepal! There might be the ghost of Prabhakaran roaming around in the examination hall and lack of knowledge about the collapse of Satyam may collapse your entry.

 

So, you have to be jack of all and master of one. There is no written rule in the constitution of India as to which question will be asked in mass com exam. You should know about the IPL and the Slum dog as well. Yeah, you should not be PhD in that because these types of people make their life disastrous in this profession later.

 

As far as interview is concerned, it is all about 5 minute magic.

 

Be smart and prompt. Last but not least, give me the answer of one question; Why Tripuri(Madhya Pradesh) is famous for….? I give you the hint. It is related to Gandhiji. If you have the answer, you are able to sit in the hall!
