Think twice, I would say, At present, India has much greater need of competent engineers than good journalists, However, if you insist, you can get yourself admitted to the IIMC or any good institutions for the requisite skill and knowledge to be a successful journalist, Watch out for the IIMC website during December and January for all details about the admission process.
