A Journey to remember

Overall, ITM is the best experience of my life. It changed me completely and It is one of the main reasons for my grooming.

I would say, the Course curriculum is a mixture of both research driven, and theoretical learning. It covers all the aspects of Finance, as well as other things necessary for an MBA student, like Quants, Communication Skills etc. It really helped us to groom ourselves, and they also had Mock Interviews and Mock GDs which helped me a lot for getting ready for the interviews.

I was a Placement coordinator for our college. The placements were pretty good. If we talk about internships first, there were so many companies on the campus providing internships for students, with a good profile and a handsome stipend. Also, ITM is the only college that provides a 5-month internship. As far as placements are concerned, it started in the 3rd semester itself, with big companies coming in the beginning and till the end. Every day a company was lined up for the process.

We had few events and I was popular enough to lead the event as a class coordinator. We had Melange when we entered college. It is an intra-college competition between various batches of college, in which dance and skit are there. After this, we have our biggest event of the year, MAVERICK. It contains 18 different events and it is also an intra-college event. It is designed as such that whole college have to participate in that, so each ITM student plays a role in this event.

Our fee was 9.2 Lakhs for 2 years, which was feasible, given the learnings and experiences I had with the college. The college is transparent with the fee-breakdown and there is no additional cost included in this. Mode of Payment was online transactions and RTGS.

The college had a scholarship, which is based on a test that college takes, followed by an interview. After these, the panel decides to provide scholarships. The scholarships were provided like 100 percent, 75 percent, 50 percent of the fees.

Gender Ratio was pretty equal in our college, as the number of girls was somewhere equal to the number of boys. Cultural societies included Ecell, Rotaract, Alternative Finance and other societies. They were pretty good, as you get to mingle and socially connect with the other students.

I was in touch with most of the seniors, and they were pretty helpful, as they always guided us through our first year. They told us how to manage our time for studies as well as college, and also they told us the importance of attendance in the college.

I did my family business after my Engineering, and that piqued my interest in Finance domain, so I thought I can give it a g, so I gave my CAT exam and then I applied in ITM. I got a mail regarding my interview details. I went for an interview at the nearest location, and I got selected.

Faculties of our college are experienced and they know what they are teaching and to whom they are teaching. The average age of faculties is 30, as we got a mixture of both Young faculties as well as old faculties. One of the lecturers had a PhD in the domain he was teaching. Others had real life experiences as they have worked before in Finance domain, so we got the real life industry learnings.
