IIM Calcutta - Indian Institute of Management Joka Kolkata Answered Questions

You may ask to the various reputed book shops who provides question banks for these types of exams or you may look online. Apart from this, the entrance exam of radio and television journalism is conducted in 2 phases by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. First, you have to appear for a written test which has objective as well as subjective questions. The questions are mainly to judge your aptitude and knowledge about the field. You should read as much as you can about radio and television broadcast as well as the current affairs. This will not only help you to crack your written test but also to clear the next phase, which is a personal interview.

It is highly improbable to get into IIMS with 84 percentile. Going by the usual cut off trends of the IIMS, it has really high competition and hence, cutoff. The intake is generally for 95+ CAT scores. So, for general category, it's really difficult. However, you can try for other colleges which are equally good.

IIMC offers the following scholarships for its various programs:
1. The Rati Aggarwal Scholarship will be awarded to a meritorious female student of the Hindi Journalism Course, based on her performance in the Entrance Exam.
2. The Star TV Scholarship will be awarded to a meritorious student of Radio & TV Journalism, based on his / her performance in the Entrance Exam.
3. The Achin Ganguly Scholarship will be awarded to two meritorious students of Advertising & Public Relations, based on their performance in the Entrance Exam & final result after completion of the Course.
4. The Jaswinder Singh Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to two meritorious students, one each from Hindi Journalism and Radio & TV Journalism, based on their performance in the Entrance and First Semester Exams.

It totally depends upon your interest. Data analytics is surely the trending course, but then if you don't have interest in data analytics or you are not comfortable with number crunching, doing a course in same would not help. MBA on the other hand focuses on management and thus requires a different skill set.

Hi Harshita,
Congratulations on scoring 97 Percentile in CAT. I would say that there are chances for you to get a call. Also you have a strong score in past academic years. Hope for the best and also try out for other institutes along with IIM. Good Luck Mate.

Hi Ansh,
To get through any IIM you need to appear for CAT. Only if you score distinctively high I. e. around 96 percentile (Depends on year on year) you might stand a chance to get a call from them. Aim to score 98-99 percentile. Also they would check your academics throughout and you need to meet up to their criteria to get through the interview and GD rounds. Start studying hard and smart and appear as many Mocks as you can. Also refer to various authors and apply for test series at different places. As they say the more, the merrier. Good Luck Mate.
