You can take admission in any PG diploma course in journalism, if you are interested in entering this field. IIMC conducts entrance exam for admission in the course every year.

Admission will be on the basis of performance in the written exam and seats are allotted through counselling. Any stream graduates can apply for it.

You should get admission in Masters in Mass Media Communication after your graduation in order to become a Journalist, you should however get admission in any good and reputed organization in order to raise the chances of getting acquired by top new agencies immediately after completion of your degree(obviously depending upon your capability).

You are very much eligible, so you need not worry about it, just move on ant get admission in the course if you really want to go for it.
