Don't worry about your lack of journalism experience. IIMC, and many other journalism schools, are designed to cater to students with diverse backgrounds. They understand that not everyone will have prior journalism experience.

Here's what you can expect:

• Basic Journalism Fundamentals: The courses will start from the ground up, teaching you essential concepts like news gathering, writing, editing, and reporting.
• Hands-on Training: You'll likely have opportunities for practical training, such as internships or field assignments, to gain real-world experience.
• Mentorship: Experienced faculty and mentors will guide you through the learning process and provide valuable feedback.

While a background in journalism can certainly be beneficial, it's not a strict requirement. Your ability to learn, think critically, and communicate effectively will be more important factors.

Focus on developing your writing skills, honing your curiosity, and building a strong understanding of current affairs. These skills will be invaluable as you embark on your journalism journey.
