Indian Institute of Mass Communication, New Delhi

Hi Ash, the syllabus of IIMC entrance examination includes everything general and political. If I have to break it down and give you few generic examples, then I would say, general awareness, basic understanding about the social dynamics, awareness about all economic and social issues, knowledge about international affairs and how the power dynamic of the world works, the impact of the said power dynamics on India etc. Apart from these, they also look for your language capabilities, comprehension skills, analytic skills and a little bit of aptitude. So brush up your social awareness well and practice your writing skills and you will be good for the written test. Hope it helps!
