1- I am amazed that as a student of mass communication you don't have any know how of politics and contemporary affairs. I think it is the most needed thing in mass communication. if you are not update you are out of the race. So, as per your question my answer is yes. you should start reading newspapers and magazines, explore the internet and visit your university's library.

2- I hope you know what Establishment is ?? The foreign policy is made by Establishment (a combination of army and bureaucracy). So, don't worry you will get the chance to play your role

3- There was a person called Qudrat Ullah Sahab, he was a bureaucrat; a sincere bureaucrat and he survived in this system of black sheep.you can read read his autobiography "Sahab Nama".It would be beneficial for you.

4-I don't know about the exact marks but surely you must secure position in top 50z. start reading from now and don't expect that within days you will be scholar. Learning is a gradual process and you have plenty of time. so, don't worry and start preparing now.

5- Follow these links.
