Symbiosis International Pune Answered Questions

Do not go for any specific book for mass communication. You can get the latest editions of general knowledge books to keep you update, but in my opinion, internet and newspapers are the best things to read. Read and read is the best option you have.
Mass comm entrances are tough at places. You need to update yourself with the current happenings of the entire world. This is a tough job though. Just go through all the updates and stuff like stories. Don't think that you are preparing for some heavy entrance exam.
