    Review of IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management.
    Placements: 100% placement is guaranteed in this college because they take a lot of charge in the field, which is why they have achieved 100% in this field. They give extraordinary classes and a fantastic curriculum to meet industry demands. Top recruiting companies are like Goldman Sachs and Zomato, etc. Students get internships in their core subjects with good ranks and packages. Top roles like business development manager and registrar are offered.
    Infrastructure: The hostel and college provide a wonderful experience, as they give fantastic infrastructure and facilities like Wi-Fi, a library, and an industry-driven cell. Companies visit our campus to take students for internship purposes, and then they get placed in the company. Sports and extracurricular activities are also present, in which we have the opportunity to play at the state and national levels.
    Faculty: Exams are very strict, and real-world application-based problems are asked for the overall development of the students, so that they get placed in the most reputable companies based on their talent and hard work. The course curriculum is very relevant, and companies visit our campus for placement purposes around the last week of every month. Semester exams are tough, but those who work hard and study regularly can easily clear the exam.
    Other: I chose this course to get a better placement in top companies. The best thing about the course is that it helps in getting placed in companies. It would be better if the college introduced a system where we can have live interactions with the company HR to look over the program run there, so that we can gain experience. Events and fests are also held in the college.

    Review of IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management.
    Placements: Our college provides excellent placements. Many students secure placements in various sectors, such as marketing, consulting, finance, production, general management, operations, etc. The campus attracts industry-leading companies. Almost all students are placed and get internships. The highest salary package offered is 1 CPA.
    Infrastructure: The hostel facilities are excellent. Air-conditioners are available in classrooms. They provide a refrigerator. Purified drinking water is provided. Washrooms are available. Classrooms are well-equipped. Speakers, microphones, personal charging points, etc., are available. The library is huge. VSL is practically an institution itself. The college building is 5-storeyed. The mess and canteen are on the old and new campuses, and there are multiple eateries throughout the campus.
    Faculty: Our teachers are excellent and well-qualified. Most teachers are Ph.D. holders. The curriculum is very up-to-date and application-based. IIMA is renowned for its case-based learning, and it certainly lives up to that reputation. The evaluation process is comprehensive, and exams are difficult because we have to cover 12 to 13 subjects within 2 to 3 months.
    Other: Our college celebrates 2 fests, Chaos, an annual cultural fest, and TRBS, an annual business fest. There are fewer stray dogs, as that is a bit of a nuisance. The drainage system is quite terrible, and water pools up easily. Extracurricular activities are held. Our college has more than 50 clubs and many sports options. There are two sports complexes, two gyms, and designated areas for every sport, from cricket to football, all equipped with the necessary equipment. Scholarships are provided.

    Review of Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad.
    Placements: Around 100% of students got placements in this college with good salary packages. The highest salary package offered was 70 LPA, the lowest salary package was 40 LPA, and the average salary package was 45 LPA. Students got placements in well-known firms like Boston, Amazon India, TCS, Adani Group, Axis Bank, etc. Our college made students job ready. Students have to do 2 months of internships in their final year. Around 100% of students got internships in our college. Top internship firms were TCS, HDFC General Insurance, Larson and Toubro, Sunsilk, Amazon India, etc.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our campus was good. Classrooms were well-furnished and comfortable. Our campus was enabled with high-speed Wi-Fi. Library was good with many books, generals, and other self-study materials with a place to sit and study in a silent environment. Hostel was average. Canteen food was not hygienic but sports and medical assistance were good.
    Faculty: Teachers in our college were well-qualified, experienced, and had good knowledge of the subject. They used different techniques to teach students. The course curriculum was relevant and made students job ready. Semester exams were averagely difficult but all students pass the exam. Students need to study whole year to pass exams easily.
    Other: I chose this course to work in a well-known private firm with a good salary package. The hostel should improve the food served in the mess because it is unhygienic. Our college organises multiple fests every year. Many scholarships were provided for toppers and poor students.
