Since I have also done my PG Diploma in Journalism from IIMC, I can say from my personal experience that if you start you preparations even today and keep yourself updated with the most prominent events of this and the previous year by referring to one or two good new papers (viz. The Indian Express), you will have a very strong chance of scoring good marks in the entrance exam and acing the group discussion and personal interview. All the best with your preparations.
