Good placements + amazing infrastructure + great campus life = IFMR.

Placements: The placement season for my batch began very strongly. More than 60 (batch strength- 180) students got placed in the first week of the placement season. The highest package that was offered was 14 lakhs (HSBC) and the least that was offered by approximately 7 lakhs (Bajaj Finserv). A lot of prime recruiters like Credit Suisse, Deloitte, JP Morgan, CRISIL, etc. offered packages of around 9 lakhs (average salary).

IFMR. A good choice for those who are interested in finance and financial engineering.

Placements: 100% placement since inception. Though specialisations like financial engineering and data science have an edge in placements. The average package was around 8.5 lpa in my batch of 180. Companies like HSBC, Delloite, JPMC, CRISIL, ANZ Bank, Accenture, Capgemini, etc. came summer internship. The average package was 15k.

Excellent infrastructure and faculty. The pay scale has been improving steadily.

Placements: The placements for the senior batch were better than their previous batch with many good roles offered. Companies like crisil, credit suisse, bajaj finserv, jp morgan, hsbc visit the college regularly. The average CTC was around 9-10 lakhs per annum. New companies are being brought every year in addition to the long list that regularly visit for placements.

The College is great for the students who are looking for a career in Finance. For other majors, it's not the best one. I, unfortunately, had an inclination towards HR and hence did my major in HR. The Placement is good for the students of Finance and average in Marketing. But it is not so lucrative for students in HR field. Keep in mind what you looking for and if it's Finance please join or else go for other options.

In comparison to other colleges food is really good in comparison to other colleges. The college takes good care, if students and their welfare. Due to this many students take the college on a ride, but after a limit they get penalized and then they curse the college. But I must say, being a student of IFMR. I personall...

Good Faculty Members. Very good Placement Record since inception. The Fees is neither too costly nor too cheap. One of the well-known Institutes for Finance and especially Financial Engineering. Other specializations are being focused upon too. Cons: Shifted to New Campus in 2014, so Infrastructure is not fully developed. A bit isolated from the urban life and City.

It is a very good management college in the country, and probably one of the best for Finance. Also, it provides a course in Financial Engineering which is run by few colleges in India. This course gets into the technicalities of Finance with the help of which, students will be able to develop Financial Models.

It’s an awesome college with wonderful faculty. I was from the initial batches and since have recruited quite a few of my juniors - they are as good as they can possibly be. The new campus is bigger and better from what I understand. Though the small charm of the old campus in Nungambakkam/Chennai will be a miss, I am sure the new campus will have new life on its own. The current batches are awesome, have a few from the last batch working with me and few summer interns who came over for the summ...

IFMR has some of the best faculty members in the country especially for finance. At the end of two years, a student with zero knowledge in finance can actually do financial modelling. The method of study - a mix of lectures and case studies, helps learn concepts and apply them practically.

I am new to this college but still can say this is worth joining. I like the culture here and my college is best in terms of Finance. The routine is hectic but in the end when you end up with a good placement you feel all toil was worth. Its 62 km from Chennai so what we feel lacking is a good city exposure but if it wouldn't have been a residential campus we wouldn't have got a chance to be in such a diverse culture.

IFMR has 100% placement record. It is mainly known for finance. It is located in Sri City, between many MNCs. Apart from studies IFMR conducts all kinds of events like cultural, sports, etc. All the faculty members are from branded B schools. Every student is given a mentor for any kind of difficulties. The best part is that IFMR is the only B school to have financial engineering as an elective. IFMR has Bloomberg terminal and mock trading room.
