Mass Communication & Media

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!

Hi Pragya,
Media is in itself is a very vast field with lot of branches and extensions. You can get into various aspects of media, starting from Journalism, photography, film-making, advertisement, public relation and so on to name a few. It is up to you to find your interest and then look for a job in that particular field. Coming to the second part of your question, the eligibility criteria for PG in this course, varies from college to college. There needs to be a minimum percentage of marks in your graduation and then most of the good colleges which offer PG in the said course, do have their own entrance examination, followed either by a GD or PI. So, narrow down the list of colleges first for the same and then look for the eligibility criteria for each of them separately.
I hope it helps!
