Being one of the IIMs, it has a brand name attached to it and in few years it will become more prestigious. It has also completed 5 years now, so more placement opportunities will be available. Instead of a specific management domain, it allows students to select from a wide range of electives in the 2nd year, which is beneficial if one wants to major in multiple domains like marketing, finance, it, etc. Considering the placement scenario and the other IIMs of the same level, fees are on the higher side. Currently, the institute is working in the old campus. Their permanent campus is being constructed. There is a fixed process for admission every year.

The course curriculum is rigorous. In the first year, they try to cover as much as possible for every domain. All the subjects are compulsory and there are no electives in the 1st year. All the faculties are PhD with experience in corporate and teaching in the past. They follow a trimester format, so there is a total of 6 trimesters. Each trimester has two exams - mid-term and end term. Exam level is generally medium to difficult. It is an open-book exam. For few subjects, the internet is allowed as well. Final marks for the subject depending on the assignment, projects, quizzes, mid-term and end-term exam, attendance.

As I joined in the times of Corona, I have yet to be on campus. But even in online mode committee members organize various events. On-campus, both annual fest and annual sports events are conducted. Various committees are there in the institute, selection for which are done in the first or second month after joining. Everyone is eligible to apply for any committee. Committee members from the second year are responsible for selecting new members. Apart from the committee, there are clubs. Clubs are both academic and non-academic. Students can also apply for the formation of the new club.

The hostel is mandatory for everyone. Everyone has to be on campus for the entire course. If at any point anyone has to leave the campus, he/she has to mail the authorities. They never prohibit anyone from leaving. Girls and boys have separate hostel buildings. They are allowed to go in each other's hostel rooms. The room has 2-3 students. Each floor has around 40-50 students with 2 bathrooms. It may be crowded in the morning. The mess has a huge variety of menu. Generally different food items everyday including non-veg. The taste of the food is average.

Many parameters are considered for admission like entrance exam score, personal interview, diversity, past education, etc.

The process starts with the CAT exam, generally at the end of November.

GD topics are generally based on current affairs, but It can also be abstract. Personal interviews are based on the experience if one has any or else it is based on graduation knowledge and student profile.
