IFMR which was in Chennai until the academic year 2013-14, has moved to its sparkling new 40 acre campus outside of Chengambakam for the academic year 2014-15 onwards. IFMR is best known in southern India, and ranks among the top 20 MBA institutes. IFMR in addition to providing regular fields of study such as Finance, Marketing, Operations and HR, also provides a specialization in Financial Engineering which is offered only in IFMR. As the campus is brand new, it has a very modern feel to it and...

The first thing that comes to mind when you hear IFMR is that it's purely a finance college. This short description about IFMR is an attempt to show you that its much more than that. The college sports a diverse mix of students from various educational backgrounds ranging from Engineering to Arts and Science graduates. Campus life has improved drastically with the new campus at Sri City, which boasts of state of the art infrastructure. As is the tradition at IFMR, seniors have always been keen t...

The campus is shifted to Tada and from what I hear its quiet spacious and enjoyable environment for study and fun. Even in the Kothari Road campus, Library is the best part for all the book worms. The library has a huge collection of management books and many more (including super-fast internet speed). Very good faculty with years of teaching experience and in-depth knowledge in their respective fields. IFMR placed many students in some of the top companies in IT & BFSI. The salary would be goo...

Infrastructure of IFMR can give a tight competition to that of IIMs not only in sophisticated buildings but also in its quality resources, coaching and services to students. Faculty members of IFMR are pioneers in the industry who carry with them loads of experience and knowledge. A completely different and pragmatic approach to the case studies or theoretical concepts through industry examples and guest lectures 100% placements have been achieved well before other top level b-schools. Big bra...

IFMR Kothari's library is one of the best in India. The sheer number of journals and magazines will help you gain in depth knowledge. Books on business strategy is also worth looking at. Lecture Halls and Internet facilities are on par with other top B Schools Faculty is one of the best, most of them are visiting faculty from IIMs and this itself is an indication of the high quality of the faculty. The qualification of each faculty speak for themselves. All faculty members are down to earth and...

The infrastructure is good. The books and journals in the library are exceptional. The conference hall and lecture hall are spacious and comfortable. The acoustics in the halls are very good. We have 24 hours Wi-Fi facilities. Earlier we are in small campus and had little space constraint for outdoor sports. Now the campus has moved to Sri City. That problem is sorted out. Transport facilities are yet to improve. For IFMR, the faculties are the key strength. Their subject knowledge and teaching...

Teaching is excellent. However now I see many good faculty are planning to leave which may reduce the quality of teaching. Many faculty members are too good. I would insist on bringing more pressure on students by asking for more presentations, more practice etc. Encouraging more on extracurricular activities and symposium are required. I mean more students should be involved in participating on both class rooms as well as extracurricular activities In my perception, Placements team worked very ...

Academic infrastructure is good and is latest. Library is stocked with plenty of books on wide variety of topics, specially on finance. Old campus was small and had limited recreational facilities but since new campus has come up, so that should be fine now. Most of the faculty had significant experience be it with industry or in teaching line. Professors coming for Guest lecture were specially great as all of them were stalwarts from finance industry, working at senior positions with big finan...

Library is really good. I am sure there must be a slight change in computer center now but still i would like to highlight some facts that I observed. The computers were very old and had low memory. Access to several financial data bases / data centers needs to be provided. The conference halls are good. Remaining everything were good and I am sure it would be better now. It's difficult to talk about the faculty because I have passed out in the year 2007. I would say it was satisfactory but in t...

Infrastructure is good at Sree City and I found it to be satisfactory. However I would suggest that the teaching facility should improve. Please don’t copy any ones pattern of teaching. Group projects are utter waste. Some workshops should be organized from time to time. College has repo with few handful companies which is not at all sufficient. They should invite more companies. When you organize guest lecture make sure discipline is maintained. It’s a time to stablish repo with the new invitee...

Great collection in the library, Unique trading floor and excellent internet connections. Unparalleled faculty, great subject knowledge, extremely helpful, brilliant interaction and highly experienced. Decent placements. Average should be around 7 lacs. One advantage being highly normalized placement scenario without extreme outliers driving the median salary up. Great place to build the knowledge base. The learning obtained here is absolutely amazing, and from personal experience, I've seen th...

The infrastructure facilities are good. We have an excellent library and good lecture halls. IFMR has excellent faculty who have excellent subject as well as real world knowledge who are very much updated about the industry standards. The faculty are extremely well qualified and are very approachable. The placements are good. We have had top companies like Crisil, Cognizant, Infosys, UBS, JP Morgan etc visiting the campus. The average salary was Rs 7+ Lacs p.a. with the highest salary crossing ...

I passed out of the Nungambakkam campus. The campus there revolved around the central banyan tree. We had a very resourceful library. The trading floor was also equipped with Bloomberg terminals and other live trading softwares. The campus although was small but had an ecosystem of its own. The present campus in sricity is sprawling with all the latest amenities. I had just a glimpse of it during our convocation. The knowledge capital of IFMR is its biggest strengths. Not only do they have load...
