MBA in Sustainability Management - Batch of 2023

4Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Life at IIFM as a PGDSM Student.

Placements: All students were placed in the 21-23 batch. Total strength being 18. However there was no support from the institute. Rather the institute puts roadblocks in the placement process of some students. The Placement Committee is headed by the most competent professor in the institute. The students are asked to run the Student Placement Committee but autonomy is snatched when they are unable to promote FM branch at the expenses of some opportunities. The highest package offered was 21LPA (3 years xp in relevant field). The lowest was 7LPA (Fresher). The average was 14.2LPA. Median 12LPA. However, replication of this performance by any other batch is highly doubtful due to the absurd increase in batch size in a short period of time with disregard for market demand. Our batch (some) landed internships and placements from - Internships: Trove Research ( Now MSCI Carbon Markets) Galaxy Surfactant Hindalco Vedanta PwC KPMG Century Textile GAIL The Kabadiwala Urban Company UP Forest Depth. Goodera Care India GIZ VNV EMC Acuity Knowledge Partners Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd. Placements: Morningstar Sustainalytics SnP Global Ramboll Vedanta Infosys Hindalco Birla States IORA Kansai Nerolac PwC Roles Offered: Consultant Manager Analyst .

Infrastructure: Everything this great except the Wi-Fi. It is pathetic. Classrooms are naturally well lit and beautiful. The library is well stocked The mess has all things necessary including a lawn to laze around if you have time to spare after a meal. The canteen is pretty useless. But there is a Sanchi Parlour which has most things that one would need to save off hunger. It is run by Chandu Bhaiyya, of the best person you will meet on campus.

Faculty: Professors are great. Relevant but lacks in practical aspect/ application based teaching. Except for the Industrial visit and some field visits, the course is majorly theory based. However, there is a strong focus on research. Almost everyone passes. The grading is relatively. Hence, bigger batch sizes mean easier scoring.

Other: The campus is lovely. Doubt there are any MBA campuses that can give you a similar experience. The faculty is great if you are self motivated. Practical application of the courses learnt. Clean on the analytical and scientific aspects of managing sustainability in terms of control and levers for different industries.
