My journey with CIMP

My journey with the CIMP was a mixed bag of feelings. I learned a lot and enjoyed a lot. This college gave me some of the best memories of my life, be it the campus life, the events or the industrial visits. It shaped my career for good. On top of that, I got a decent placement via on-campus placements.

Course Curriculum was pretty dynamic and updated. I personally learned a lot from the curriculum and helped me gain a holistic view of all the disciplines. We learned a lot from the curriculum in order to be more suitable for the corporate jobs. Session was divided into four terms and the exams were held at the end of each term. Internal exams, external exams, summer internship report, dissertation were among other factors accounted for the performance evaluation of the students.

All the companies that visit our college for the placement process were from different backgrounds like Aerospace & Defence, Banking, Development & Social, Financial Services/ Microfinance, FMCG, NGO, etc. College prepare the students for the placement drives specifically for the interview rounds. Companies like HDFC, Jeevika, Yes Bank, etc. recruit students for a number of profiles. Placement packages offered are pretty decent, as well. Highest package offered was around 8 LPA and the average package was around 4 LPA.

My first year fee was around 3.4 lacs while for the second year I paid 3.1 lacs for my MBA program. My college fee was expensive side for me. Our college also offers some loan facility and even the needy students are awarded scholarships, but the fee structure could be a little less.

We have different committees and clubs taking care of different activities in the campus. Spardha was the sports club which organises the sports activities for the students to take part in, while the Sangoshthi and Adovation were clubs responsible for organising advertisement and media related activities in the campus.

Admission process is pretty robust here. I applied with my XAT exam scores. My XAT scores were not that good, but still I was invited for the counseling process. Counselling process was pretty lengthy in itself. It included an essay writing test, a GD round and a PI round. A final merit list was prepared which had my name and I was granted admission thereafter.

Faculty was pretty qualified and supportive. All of them had at least 10+ years of experience in the corporate sectors. They had a unique style of teaching on top of their tremendous corporate experience. They made the topics easily understandable.
