TISS Senior:
"First of all, read a lot and develop a critical perspective.
By critical perspective I mean - lets say you are told to discuss the Lokpal Bill - you should be able to articulate your thoughts properly with an opinion. Also you should be able to go beyond the news and focus on other socio-economic issues that it involves and has ramifications in.
Secondly, follow the happenings in politics and media very carefully.
Since you have no prior experience in this field, chances are you will be asked how this course is going to aid your background in commerce.
Think about that as well."
A guy in 2012 thread:
"will come with the prep materials for sure. You have to go for Film fests i guess.. My friend got selected last year and she was asked about film fests, her favourite film, favourite director and all.+ They' have asked about the cultural features of the state which which she belonged to, burning issues in her state, her interest towards this field, I have know clue about what they are going to ask you, but last year, they have asked this ( though obvious ones)"
Gyaan Central Article:
"Media and cultural studies is a very niche programme, and is also the broadest of all programmes. They students study the ways in which the media can help in understanding sensitive issues and be instrumental in understanding cultural differences.
Candidates have to be very conversant with current affairs and the role of media in it. Along with that, they have to be prepared to answer very specific cultural questions. For example: Do they understand how European culture is different from American? How Indian culture itself is very diversified? They have to have some base, in understanding these cultures. If they have some exposure on how the media has captured these issues, like certain films, documentaries it would be an added advantage. If they have deep understanding of these films, how they are made? How does media actually capture the social issues? Then it would be absolutely a topping on the cake. The seats for this course are very few and the panelists are highly aware and sensitive towards all of these, because they come from that background.
Students who are aspiring for media and cultural studies need to have insights in the above mentioned points."
Any PIT/PI experience??
how was your pit and pi . I am guessing it got over yesterday (17th). Also what are your expectations . Folks .plz share your experience. Mine:
pit seemed lengthy :too much to think and write, too little a time .( 500+500 words in 45 minutes + sort of a creative writing)
pi : Panel very cordial , discussion very informal .
issues of jnu , hyderabad univ , social realities , take on reservation ,women reservation etc.
overall it was a nice experience ,not even remotely stressful .
