Paratyaksh Singh's Review On Indian Institute Of Management - [IIMBG], Gaya

The IIM brand associated with the institute, IIM Bodhgaya, was one of the most important factors in selecting the institute. Apart from the above average placements, what drove me to take admission was the culture of the college. The seniors were very interactive and helpful just after the conversion. From the city meet in Delhi, I became sure about going into IIM Bodhgaya. I was hooked from day 1 of conversion and the dedication shown by the senior batch made quite an impression. I am lucky to join IIM Bodhgaya it doesn't matter whether it is a baby IIM or is working in a temporary campus.

The course curriculum is at par with older IIMs and other reputable management colleges across the country. The permanent faculties are holding Doctorates in their respective fields from reputed institutes such IIM A,B,C,I,L and XLRI. The guest faculty that is called is generally the professors currently acting as a permanent faculty in the above stated colleges. The specializations are designed in such a way that a student can pursue their field of interest with all the relevant subjects.

Both the hostels have outdoor games such as volleyball, badminton, cricket, and basketball and indoor games such as TT, chess, carom, and a jenga set.
