Indian institute of management Visakhapatnam.

Placements: The placement record of the college is becoming more promising with each passing day. Currently, a limited number of companies are visiting. The highest package offered, as per the latest record, is 42 lakhs, and the average is 16.5 lakhs, with 50% of the batch falling above the average range. The top 25% receive approximately a 23 lakh package. The roles offered include analyst, wealth management trainee, senior analyst, finance analyst, IT consultant, etc. Top recruiters include ICICI Bank, Deloitte, KPMG, Yes Bank, EY, Anand Rathi, and Amul.

Infrastructure: The campus is newly built with all modern amenities. The vicinity in which the campus is located is quite desolate. Facilities are still under construction, so constant construction noise disturbs. The location is very far from the main city, with limited options for cabs and online orders. Networks like Airtel have issues on campus, but the newly built library has all study materials. I receive a single occupancy room with AC, fan, almirah, cupboard, mattress, a 7-foot-long mirror, a whiteboard, and a pinboard, with daily room cleaning facilities. Food is mostly South Indian, but we receive chicken three days a week.

Faculty: Teachers are passionate about teaching; they are here because it is their passion; otherwise, they could get a higher salary in any corporate company. Their teaching is of high quality and they have knowledge of all subjects. The course is well-structured, and mentoring by IIM Bangalore PGP is a two-year course. The first year is common for all; from the second year, we are free to choose subjects. The course mostly revolves around case studies from Harvard University. Two exams are conducted during the three-month term, which are mostly case-based. However, communication with supporting staff is difficult because they only know Telugu.

Other: The regional language is a problem as they do not understand any language other than Telugu, making communication very difficult.

IIM Visakhapatnam: A perfect place to pursue a financial degree.

Placements: The course I opted for at IIM Visakhapatnam is PGP, and the placement percentage is very good; almost 100 percent of students got placed. Companies like Amazon and Flipkart visited the college for placements, offering roles such as financial manager. The highest package offered is 90 LPA, with an average package around 25 LPA. Almost every student gets an internship in their final year with good companies with proper stipends.

Infrastructure: As we all know, IIM campuses are well-equipped with all the future amenities. I really miss my campus a lot. The infrastructure of classrooms and hostels is excellent and is maintained in a proper and neat manner. The food available is great and hygienic, and all facilities like sports, a medical center, and a supermarket are present inside the campus.

Faculty: The faculty here is highly skilled and helpful to students in academics. They also provide personal suggestions to students if they ask, such as what to do next in their life. They also provide personal training to students upon request. The quality of teaching is, of course, great.

Other: The course I took is PGP, which I pursued after completing my graduation. I had a wish to complete my degree in finance, so I took this course. Events like Samarambh used to be held while I was on campus. The campus is surrounded by a neat and peaceful atmosphere, and connectivity to the city is very good. There are many clubs, departments, and extracurricular activities like sports, which many students like me used to play every day whenever we had free time.

College placement is very good.

Placements: Students become eligible for placements right from the 4th Term. Around 180-190 companies visited the campus for placements last year The highest package offered was around 32 Lacs per annum and the average package was around 16 Lacs per annum. All students get placed. IIM Visakhapatnam has a 100 percent placement rate My plan is to join the marketing department of a reputed company as a Brand Manager.

Infrastructure: Samaarambh is the annual cultural fest of IIM Visakhapatnam and is conducted in the month of February. There are a lot of books on Managerial subjects available in the library if someone wants to do an in-depth study other than the course material which is provided to them. Other than that there are journals, newspapers and magazines available as well. Even biographies of famous and successful personalities. The classrooms are tidy and have 2 Televisions, and 2 Projectors to view presentations and are well organized with even cameras which track and detect the movement of any lecturer for anyone who would like to view a lecture from a different classroom. A lot of sports and extra curricular activities can be undertaken on the campus with a world-class sports complex consisting of a gym, basketball court, football ground, Athletic track, cricket ground, Pool table and Table tennis area available. The Student Affair Council here is the vice of the students at IIM Visakhapatnam.

Faculty: I want to transition from a Digital Marketer to a Brand Manager and handle the overall marketing activities of a brand and help scale it. In order to do that I have to gain knowledge of consumer behaviour, brand management, traditional marketing methods, product pricing and more. Thus MBA was the right fit for me. There are about 90 students in a class who are taught by a teacher Most of the faculty members are PHDs from reputed institutes such as IITs and other Iims The term exams are conducted in a timely and are not too difficult to pass if one does regular self-study and preparation for it.
