Your Confidence is the Key to Crack IIMC Interview

Anita Yadav is 8th topper of Radio & Television Journalism 2012-13 Batch. She is currently working with Rajya Sabha Television, New Delhi.

First of all my hearty congratulations to all  of you who have passed through  the first big hurdle -- the entrance exam. Don’t get complacent or be proud of yourself. You have just passed the first step to achieve your goal. After reading all the news related stuff from magazine, newspapers and all, now its time for you to gear up for the interview and get a foothold on your verbal skills. Written and verbal skills are totally poles apart. And its not always true that those who are good in writing will be equally good in speaking. So don’t get taken away by the success in entrance and concentrate on making yourself the best contender for IIMC. Dress up in proper formals as your first impression would be the last and the longer one.

Cracking the interview isn’t  a big deal but don’t take it lightly. You have to be very smart, quick, and clear in your thoughts. Start developing your own views on every issue and go into its depth. Don’t beat around the bush and try to give short, crisp and precise answers. No matter how much you know about the topic, just be confident and believe in yourself. Don’t pretend or get intimidated by others, just be yourself and give your best.

For the Radio and Television aspirants, brace yourself for the Piece to Camera (PTC). For PTC, you will be given a topic on which you have to speak in front of the camera and give your opinion in about 30 seconds. Try not to exceed the time limit. Do give your opinion but without being judgemental.

So, since very few days are left for the interview, prepare yourself thoroughly. Stay abreast of current affairs. Read as many newspapers as possible. Watch all the leading news channels. Only your knowledge in news and current affairs will give you the seat in IIMC.

Brace up yourself for the one last test to enter your dream college.

IIMC is waiting for you

All the Best ! Cheers!!
