Hi

IIMC does not bachelors in journalism and mass communication.It does offer PG diploma.

If you are interested then you can browse some another good college for bachelors in journalism. My friend from Lovely Professional University, has told ne that they get a lot of on campus training for the events and this way are exposed to the media world. Such practices help the students to launch a good career.

You can check the web sites of some good colleges like Lovely Professional University, Indraprastha College for Women, New Delhi, St. Xavier's College, Mumbai.etc. to know the academic excellence.

All the Best!!

Dear Subham,

First of all, I would like to tell you that IIM Calcutta accepts CAT exam score and they have certain cut off for each category, for the general category, it is 90 percentile. Any college accepting CAT score whether it is an IIM college or any other has basic criteria of cut off percentage for graduation, 12th, and 10th. For graduation, it is 50% minimum to even appear for CAT exam. Since you qualify the basic criteria hence you are eligible for MBA in finance and accounting in IIM Calcutta (you choose your specialization in the second year of the program)

But keep this in mind that IIM Calcutta comes in the first tier of colleges which makes it difficult to get admission. Since your graduation marks are not that great so to even get a call from IIM Calcutta for the interview you need to get excellent percentile in CAT i.e much more than 90 percentile and improve overall profile if it is possible.

I hope this answer solves your query.

Hello Vivek,

Eligibility criteria for admission into IIM Calcutta is a student must have obtained a minimum of 50% or equivalent CGPA in bachelor's degree or 45% for other categories. The candidates will then be shortlisted on the basis of the CAT cut off and for only those students past academic results will be assessed. In this according to your marks you will get 10 points for class 10 and 0 for class 12. However if you obtain 100 percentile there are chances that you will still have overall points more than other candidates which can get you admission in the college.

Hope this information was helpful.

Good luck !

Hi

I think the conventional masters programs are not run by these institutions. You can either go for a diploma or integrated 5 years course.

Another option would be to browse some more good colleges from where you an go for your masters in mass communication. My friend has pursued MA from Mass. co. from Lovely Professional University and has done good by being campus placed by ANI.

So browse some good sites like Lady Sri Ram College, New Delhi, Loyola College, Chennai, Lovely Professional University etc.

Hope my answer was a help!!!!

Hi Harshit

Well when it comes to iimc, it is one of the best institutes in the world for mass communication and indeed the best in India. So, admission procedures are not gonna be easy, right. so first you will have to decide what course do you want to pursue. there are various courses in the institute, like hindi journalism, english journalism, ad and pr etc. So admission procedures are simple. firstly, you will have to give a written exam. if you clear that you will be called for interview and then admission.

Iimc entrance is based on 2 types of evaluation.

1. Written Entrance.
2. Interview.

• If one is selected in the written test, she/he is called for the interview.
• There are 3 courses popular in IIMC Delhi.
• PG in Print Journalism (2 sections of English and Hindi)
• PG in Radio and Television
• Advertising and PR.
• In addition to that , there are courses like PG in Urdu Journalism, Odia Journalism (Dhenkanal Centre, Orissa).
• The basic plot for the journalism entrance is General Knowledge. All the 3 entrances of Print, Radio and Tv and ADPR will require thorough understanding of General Knowledge. To understand the question types, aspirations should download the previous years question papers available on the Internet. Understanding the question pattern is the most important part of the entrance. So download it.
• The college website should be regularly checked for dates and other information.
• For Print Journalism entrance Grammar part is also asked. So basic grammar like articles, preposition and verb agreements and other grammar should be grasped. In every question paper since the last 5 years they ask difference between words. Like affect and effect. 
• 
  
• RTV entrance may ask about an abstract question which will demand creative imputs. Following the previous question paper is enough.

If selected for the written, students will be called for interview. The interview ranges from general questions about world politics. Sometimes it may deviate into things like “what are your hobbies?” Questions about uour graduation course is usually asked. One must be able to relate that with journalism. 

TIP-  Be confident, read a lot of newspapers and magazines. Avoid any kind of coaching centres please. Everything is basic study. Go for it.
