It ain't as good as they all say.

Placements: In the final placements of AY 2023-34, 100% of students were placed. However, the placements were not great as many top recruiters did not hire or hired in fewer numbers. IIM Indore had better placements than most IIMs like Lucknow, and others like FMS in terms of the timeline of placements, difficulty in getting everybody placed, etc. I am not sure of the exact numbers, but the highest would be 1 crore+ from a random company offering many ESOPs. Otherwise, there were good placements with 30L+. The lowest would be less than 12-13L. For IPMers, many companies do not open, but the ones that do love IPMers (or at least IPMers are more easily able to convert the shortlists they do get). Top recruiters would include BCG, AT Kearney for Consulting; JPMC, DE Shaw, O3 Capital, etc. for Finance; HUL, Asian Paints, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, etc. for Marketing. However, since I am in the 4th year of the course, my information is not the best as all Summer Internship and Final Placement companies do not overlap. Summer Internship AY 2023-24, almost 95% of students got internships through campus, and almost everyone was placed. Some opted out to get better opportunities by themselves and through their connections. Top roles offered to IPMers were BCG and ATK in consulting, JPMC, DE Shaw in finance, HUL (finance and marketing), PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Amazon Product, etc. Again, placements for top IPMers were good, but since many companies have not opened to IPMers, some people struggled quite a lot and got internships with like a 30K stipend in startups and all.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi: Good, it has a backup line as well. Wi-Fi and storage capacity: very limited and troublesome. Throughout the course, you can only have 20GB of drive space, which is too low. Classrooms: Good. But now the program intake has increased, and they have not built new classrooms, which is why many classrooms are congested. Library: The online database is great. Sitting capacity, interiors, books, etc., are okayish and can be improved a lot when compared to IIM-A or Amity Noida, etc. Sports: Terrible. There is only an outdoor badminton court. The cricket ground is huge but not well maintained. Medical: It is world-class just for namesake. Most doctors there come to pass their time, except Anjali Ma'am. Mess: The mess is decent. Much can be improved, but at least there is variety and hygiene. Nutrition can be improved; they use subpar cooking mediums and all. The taste, like most messes, is bleh.

Faculty: I personally love the IPM curriculum. We study everything! Most faculty are nice, except the one who teaches ethics. How ironic! He repeated the past year papers in the exam and failed the students who reported him. Some other subpar faculty is there, but mostly good. Exam levels vary but are mostly good. It is a relatively grading system.

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

I am in love with IIM Indore.

Placements: The placements here at IIM Indore are really great, as expected. Almost 99 percent of the students get placed during campus placements, and the average package offered is around 31 LPA. The highest package is 80 LPA, and the lowest package is 20 LPA. Internships are offered to all the students on campus, and the roles offered are managers at different companies, with a few students starting their own companies (startups). Companies that come to our campus for placements include Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Flipkart, Reliance, etc. Many companies show interest in recruiting students from all IIMs in India.

Infrastructure: IIM is especially famous for its infrastructure and facilities on campus. Our college has very good facilities, and Wi-Fi is available all over the campus. Classrooms are well maintained and have all the equipment needed. The library is one of the best places; I love it as it has many books and is fully stocked with novels, storybooks, etc. The hostels here are great and support students for comfortable living with three-sharing rooms. The mess food on our campus is well cooked and neatly served. There is a canteen on campus that has all types of food items. The medical center is also on campus and is open 24 hours. In terms of sports and games, there are many activities played on campus, and all students are free to play whatever they are interested in.

Faculty: While faculty teaching is not always needed, the faculty does take classes and helps us understand concepts. They are highly skilled and hold advanced degrees, like PhDs, in their subjects. They assist students whenever needed and are very friendly. The course structure is set by them and is straightforward without complications, making us industry-ready. Exams are conducted occasionally, and semester exams are not hard to pass; students can easily clear them with minimal preparation, but one has to work hard to top the exams.

Other: I chose this course because it significantly improves my chances of placement and allows me to secure a good package in top companies. This course is very good and satisfactory and does not need any further improvement. Our campus also hosts many events each year, including cultural and technical events. IRIS, Ranbhoomi, and Utsaha are the names of a few events and fests on our campus. The connectivity of our campus is excellent, and the surroundings are neat and peaceful. Our campus encourages students in both curricular and extracurricular activities, and many students manage to stay active in both areas.

Satisfied with almost everything.

Placements: BLACKI's are dreams of the students and yes, apart from the teaching and learning pedagogy, placements are one of the lucrative aspect of the IIM Indore. Great companies with excellent payscale visit the campus, like BCG, EY, Karney, Aditya Birla capital, mickey and co. , reliance, TATA strategy Group, etc. It comes every year. In the third term, students are eligible for placements. This years average package goes around 26 LPA. With a median of around 24–25 LPA,. All the studies got placed, and some got PO during their SIP as well. The internship is done under the SIP program, and lots of companies visit the campus and offer very great roles; thus, there are very great opportunities in an internship as well. Stipend is also very high, like 50k/month to 2.5 - 3 Lakhs it touches. As my SIP is heading, I am also very eager to be a part of it.

Infrastructure: The hostel facilities at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Indore are known for being comfortable and well-maintained. Here are some key aspects of the hostel's facilities: The rooms are air-conditioned and well-furnished, with facilities such as a B.Ed. wardrobe and study table. The hostels have their own dining facilities, serving nutritious and tasty meals to students. The hostels are equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi and laundry facilities for the convenience of students.

The hostels provide opportunities for students to interact and engage with their peers from diverse backgrounds, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie. Overall, the hostel facilities at IIM Indore provide a comfortable and supportive environment for students to live, study, and thrive.

Faculty: The course curriculum is great and hectic at the same time. Faculty members are too great and supportive in everything. As I want to make my career in management, I chose to graduate from a top B-school, and hence I prepared for it yes after spending almost 2 weeks on campus, I got to know that life here is not easy and very hectic but this is the transformational journey that makes us perfect future managers. I don't know about all the faculty members now but the only thing I can say is that there is an availability of genius professors who are always there to assist us. The teaching pedagogy is mainly through case studies and through lots of exams and assignments, projects work, and presentations. Exams are on a timely basis and it's not hard to pass the exam but it's hectic to pass the exam.

Other: Campus life is awesome you don't even know when the sun rise and sets. I mean, there is lots of work to do from the initial days and you will hardly get time to manage your sleep or personal stuff with discipline. There are various events and festivals which will bring different levels of energy to IIM Indore. I am a sports lover, so I knew about Ranbhoomi, which is the festival for sports Apart from that, here are the I-5 summit, Utsaha, etc. Events and festival. All the books are from the library. Classes are equipped with basic essentials like light, a chair, a table, a single B.Ed., and also the mess food is good. There are various clubs and committees run and managed by the students, like the human-1 club, consulting club, mercury club for marketing, arena club for gaming, etc.
