Students become eligible for campus placements after the first semester results. Accenture, TOI, Business standards. Students from all campuses got placement and marks didn't matter that much. My plan was to get the job in which my interest lies, so I didn't sit in campus placement.
This is a nine-month course and students are placed before last term exams. All media companies including Times group, CNN news 18, ANI, Business Standard, Indian Express, and PTI visit the campus for hiring. The majority of the students are placed based on their skills and tests held with respective companies
To appear for campus placements, during my course period, there were not any restrictions as such. The placement drive happens in the month of February. Ours was a placement drive of a fortnight. We had companies like TOI, ABP News, Economic Times, All India Radio, PTI, Doordarshan coming to the campus and hiring for various positions. The highest package that was offered in my year was 20 lakhs, by Sony Entertainment, Mumbai whereas the average package offered was 3 lakhs. As told by the placement cell, the placement average was 75%. I joined AIR as the content executive for Social Media Cell after my degree. I worked with AIR for 3.5 years.
IIMC Dhenkanal is surrounded by hills and forest so be careful with monkeys, snakes, scorpions and other insects like spider very common you will find it regularly. Rains almost every month, especially during August to October, carry Umbrella with you and torch to prevent bite of snake or scorpion. The tank top is one of the most beautiful places in IIMC Dhenkanal which gives a view of the whole town.
The management is good. It is prompt, professional and cooperative, heeding to students' needs and problems.
I did a PG Diploma in journalism from the IIMC, Dhankanal. The college has shaped my career and made me an accomplished figure in the field of Journalism. It is as good as its reputation. I would definitely recommend the IIMC college, especially for academics and corporate exposure. I had a pretty awesome time while I was there.
The admission is on the basis of an entrance exam conducted by the college itself. The students need to clear the entrance exam in order to secure admission to the college. I joined the institute because of its reputation, but at least this branch of the Institutes is not at par with the Delhi branch.
