IIMC does not have a fixed cutoff for any courses including English journalism. The required cutoff changes every year. Also, the cutoff list is not available for the students. 

IIMC is one of the most reputed media institutes in India. The college administration conducts their own entrance examination, which is really tough to creak. You can apply for admission at IIMC online through their official website. 

Being a renowned media institute it has limited seats for the courses that are offered here. To secure admission you have to perform well in the subjective entrance procedure, taken by this college. If you secure the required cutoff only then you will get a call for an interview. 

According to the reviews of old students, the cutoff required for admission to English Journalism at the institute in recent years was as follows. 

  •  OBC- 35
  • SC/ST- 22
  • General- More than 50 for IIMC New Delhi

From the above discussion, you should have gotten an idea about the cutoff required at IIMC for English Journalism.

The placement in IIMC New Delhi is decent, being a communication school run by the government. The table below gives the recently available data regarding the placement in IIMC, New Delhi.

Average package in advertising and PR

2.5-3 Lakhs per annum

Highest package offered

8-9 Lakhs per annum (NTPC)

No of the candidates receiving the highest salary

4-5

Key Highlights:

  • Being a government-led institute, it offers good exposure to jobs after course completion. But, it is not always as expected.
  • Most students are not attentive to the lectures, yet they get good opportunities in the industry. The academic score doesn’t matter that much, it is one’s skill that counts.
  • Candidates getting admission in IIMC, New Delhi should have a decent clarity of thoughts, along with good writing skills and speaking ability for interviews.
  • A thorough understanding of the media industry and its way of working is essential for improving yourself. Reading multiple newspapers a day is essential, which the professors focus on. The skills developed in the 9-month course decide how the student will perform in job interviews.
  • Many students pt for courses in digital marketing and web analyst to acquire the skills needed in the industry. Even after clearing IIMC entrance, candidates fail to get jobs because the industrial experts understand the candidate’s capabilities and select them according to their needs.

There are only a few students who receive good 8-9 LPA offers from PR and Advertising and that is what distinguishes them. IIMC has that fame in itself, and the candidate just needs the right preparation for his/her own benefits.

The interview experience for IIMC varies from candidate to candidate, but there are certain aspects that get repeated very often and are asked to most candidates. Having a good enough idea about one’s own subject and being confident is the first necessity.

The points listed below are some basic highlights of the interview/GD round of IIMC, Delhi.

  • The interview does not go on for long. Maximum candidates have a 15-20 minutes discussion. For some candidates, it is seen to stretch for long if the panel wants.
  • The interviewer asks about the candidate's interests, educational background, work experience, and the candidate's vision to achieve his/her goal and expectations from IIMC for the same.
  • Generally, panelists ask similar questions more than once, in different manners, to check the authenticity of your answers. They may or may not ask any technical questions.
  • The motive of the panel is not to judge how much information you already have. They select candidates who want to make the best use of the 9 months of course and resources.
  • The interview revolves around questions like “why should we select you”, discussion on recent ad campaigns and their impact, your hobbies, expectation from the IIMC course.
  • Read the newspaper thoroughly on the day of the interview. There will be a question from it.

Being confident and honest is the ultimate strategy. It is better to assess what the panel wants, and answer accordingly.
