Our college has good faculty members and facilities.
Infrastructure: The hostel accommodation was better than expected, but the mess food was not up to the mark. The food items served included chapatti, idli, dosa, parotta, and rice. There were two buildings, including the new hostel. There was a lake beside the girls' hostel. There was no water problem. There was filtered drinking water. Snacks were served in the evening. Coffee and tea are available two times a day. They served lunch with curry, curd, rasam, and papad.
Faculty: Faculty members were good. They took extra care with the course curriculum. They were very responsible for their subjects. They took personal interest in their students. I am well satisfied with them. I chose this course for developing my skills in this field. Faculty members were very close to us. They cleared up all doubts about the subjects. During exam times, they will be specially trained.

Yes, you can get into IIMs. However old IIMs are going to be difficult, you can definitely aim for new and baby IIMs. You need to score high in CAT. You should also sit for other exams like IIFT XAT SNAP etc.

You have to first have a degree in B.Com or BBA and then after graduation you can appear for the CAT exam and score a very high percentile in order to get a call from the IIMs.

its perfectly normal to pursue an MBA degree after completing your Graduation. In fact, IIM-A gives special preference to non-engineers while admitting students. Hence, of course, it will be difficult because its IIM-Ahmedabad, but it will be less difficult for you.
