The key requirements are:
Commitment to Journalism

We seek motivated students with a passion for the field and a keen interest in what is happening around them. This may be reflected by describing clearly what motivates him/her to a career in journalism.
Writing Skills
We expect journalists to be sensitive to language and to organize their thoughts clearly and coherently. Fair command of the English language is a requirement.
Education
One-year Postgraduate Diploma: A Bachelor's degree in any discipline is required. Applicants awaiting final year examination results or who will be graduating this year may also apply.
One-year Diploma program: Students who have completed or awaiting results for 10+2 / pre-university are eligible to apply.
Background and Life Experiences
Consideration will be given to the applicant's background and life experiences that would contribute significantly to a dynamic and diverse student body.
As India's premiere journalism school, IIJNM is selective in its enrollment. While several other journalism schools admit large numbers of students, we offer only 100 seats per year. Our focus on quality over quantity ensures low student-teacher ratios, one-on-one mentorships, and individualized attention to our student body. Additionally, we are able to assist our graduates in gaining superior placement opportunities with elite news outlets.
Applications are processed as they are received and those selected for admission are confirmed soon thereafter. Hence, those desiring to seek admission are encouraged to apply early.
IIJNM admits both Indian and international students. Selection is based entirely on merit, without any regard for gender, race, religion, or caste. There is no age bar.
