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.
