Placements were excellent in 2019 batch.

Placements: Placements are fine. 90% of students were placed. Median annual salary offered was somewhere around 16-17 LPA. For this programme, placement is a bit challenging but we saw great placement score in 2018-19 batch. IT and consulting were some of the areas where roles were offered. It's mandatory to do an internship with this programme. Internship interviews will also be conducted by the institute. Internship stipend ranges from 25K to 50K.

Infrastructure: The college has a great library and facilities. Students also enjoy paid subscription of some magazines. Sports facilities here are average. It is an old b-school and space allotted for games and sports is less. College has its own sports club and many talented students also. There are various clubs in this college. Hostels are decent, although the infrastructure is pretty old, but you still get AC facility. Other facilities in the hostel are also fine.

Faculty: Senior faculty members are very nice. Although some are very strict, but that is not much of an issue most of the time. You will learn a lot from all of them. They put a lot of effort in teaching. They are well experienced and give a lot of assignments to study upon. Course is very hectic. 2 years of studies is squeezed into some 4 months of studies.

This is a must join college.

Placements: Placements in college are very good. Students are from diverse backgrounds and have a target role and industry which makes it difficult to attract companies. However, due to college brand, efforts and preparedness of students, almost 90% of the students end up getting their desired role and industry.

Infrastructure: Being the oldest IIM, the infrastructure can't be an issue. We have been to foreign universities, and their facilities are not much better than ours. In addition, the campus has 7 lakes which make the landscape beautiful. There are modern multi-court sports area and a world-class gym. Hostels and other parts of campus are equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi facilities.

Faculty: The great thing or I can say the USP of the college is that the faculty members treat students as adults. This helps in improving the bonding and also facilitates the flow of thought. The faculty are world class. Most of the course has case-based pedagogy, and this bonding and treatment facilitates the thought process and generates new ideas.

Other: The college hosts cultural, sports, and business fests. Also, there are many company sponsored fests conducted around the year. The college also held a lot of panel discussions with several foreign delegates and industry experts.
