Candidates Applying for the Public Relations & Corp. Comm. Course Kindly read the Note below:
Candidates who shall be seeking admission for Public Relations & Corporate Communications will have to come for their GD & PI with the preparatory assignment already complete.
Last year the candidates were asked to meet and speak to a senior professional working in a Public Relations agency and prepare a 2 or 3 page typed write-up on the following:
- What is the practice of Public Relations all about?
- What is the practice of Corporate Communications all about?
- What are the typical activities that a Trainee does in the 1st year of work in a Public Relations firm?
- What skills are required to be a successful P.R. Executive in a Public Relations company and career?
Also in the write-up, the aspiring candidate would have to quote who they interacted with, in the agency to seek such information. (Mention Name, Cell number, E-mail ID and attach a visiting card of the person the candidate met)
Important:
- It is mandatory to meet a Manager in a P.R. agency. A Corporate Communication Executive/ Manager is not acceptable for the interaction.
