Facts are sacred and opinion is free

Mani Sharma, 5th topper of 2012-13 batch of Radio & Television Department, selected by Red FM for Indore in Campus Selection.
The course offered by Indian Institute of mass communication: Radio and television is a holistic course wherein one gets to learn the integrities of the e field. With adequate infrastructure and updated library one can abreast oneself with the working of both television and radio industry. With a working community radio in place, one gets the ‘On AIR’ experience as well!

Keeping oneself updated with latest happenings and current affairs , is the only key to crack the exam. There are two parts of the exam written and piece to camera. I know that must have sounded like alien to you! But in simple terms it means audition which carries a weight age of 15 marks! So even if you are not very good at facing the camera (as it comes with time). You can still crack it if your written was good!  For that read newspapers including their editorials, I know that might bore you at first, but dude no pain no gain right! Read political /sports magazines like Tehelka, India Today, Pratiyogita Darpan will surely come handy. Also I would urge you to work on your strengths rather than beating about the bush because that will make you jack of all traits and master of none! Eventually that will land you no where!

So its necessary that you read a lot plus watch shows like ‘Devils Advocate’, ‘News Hour’ and ‘We The People’ as it will help you widen your perspective about issues and give you better insights.. Apart form this also watch online  shows ‘ News Laundry’ by Madhu Trehan as she grills the media big shots and  mirrors their shortcomings.

Important Topics that might help:

Ashish Nandy Case
Honey Sigh controversy
Sri Lanka CJI
Kasab
Sarabjit
Afzal Guru
Section 66

Us presidential elections
Malala
New pope
China  new president and PM
Chopper deal
IOA
North Korea

Just keep clam and write the paper with confidence.  Facts are sacred and opinion is free! So be good with your facts and definite about your opinions and cracking IIMC entrance will be a cake walk.
