IMT-G review

I applied & got calls from XLRI (HR), IIM Ranchi, IMI, Delhi & IMT Ghaziabad & got calls from SP Jain's Profile based selection criteria. Attended all the Admission processes & got final calls from IMI Delhi & IMT Ghaziabad. IMT Ghaziabad had a legacy of more than 37+ years & better faculty hence chose the same. I was a General category candidate & they had a minimum 90%ile cutoff for calls. IMT-G shortlisted the candidates based on CAT/XAT score & called us for the GD/PI round. The process was smooth & conducted by the Placecomm department. The whole process was rounded up by afternoon & we were free to go.

I chose this course because IMT is reknowned for its Marketing faculty & the Course curriculum is pretty comprehensive & strenous. We had a blend of In house faculties & Visiting professors teaching at the cream institutes all over India. IMT has about 700 student intake that year so that faculty to student ratio felt a bit inadequate. Faculties used Case Methodogies , gave presentations, assigned us field based projects . Hence the learning curve was pretty good. We had 4 terms per year & 2 rounds of exams per term. It was pretty difficult to clear.

Google, Himalaya, Philips, UB, Marico etc visit our Campus & we are eligible to sit for the same as per eligibility of the Organisation. The internship project was around the New Product launched in the market in 1 year & steps to increase its Awareness & sales revenue.

We are eligible to sit for placement during/after the 6th term. I got a PPO from UB where I interned & hence I wasn't required to sit for the placement process. 250+ companies visited that year. The highest package ranged around 45 LPA (Domestic). More than 95% of the students got placed on Campus.

Fees were 16.5LPA for 2 years including the 2 Lakhs Hostel & Mess fees. College provided financial assistance & scholarships based on the performance & financial status of the candidate. Internship I got - United Breweries (50K per month) - 2 months. PPO I got - United Breweries ( 16 LPA ).

There are many Clubs/Committes at IMT-G like Placecomm, Student Council, MADF, Rotary Club, Infrastructure club etc. There are two prominent fests at IMT-G. One is Passion organised by Student Council. Other is Chakravyuh which is a sports based fest but super popular in the campus and both draws crouwds in the footfalls of 1000+ people. Library is fully loaded with latest Journals, Magazines, Course materials, access to Market research & Financial research websites etc. All classrooms are fully air conditioned & projectors are there for presentations with Biometric attendance .Therea are Basketballm Badminton, Lawn tennis, Football/Cricket grounds available for students.

Hostels are fully air conditioned with Water coolers on all floors. Mess provides 4 meals a day , 3 meals & 1 snack . Meal qualities are good & menus are provided in advance for the month. Hostel registration is done on the joining day of the year & it is mandatory to stay in the campus. Hostel & Mess fees is pretty affordable at 1LPA. Student council is responsible for the registration & allocation done is Fair. Hostel rooms are neat & clean, painted & Toilets are super neat & cleaned twice a day. Overall experience of Hostel& Mess was amazing and it's the most memorable part of my college experience

Common GD topics like Glass Ceiling in Corporate & Sales vs Marketing were there.GD round went for about 25 minutes & the whole process was super intense. The interview was related to my Graduation from college (DTU) & regarding my Job profile at Saint Gobain. It was taken by the college faculty. The interview went for around 40 mins & I prepared for them with the help of secondary research on the Internet regarding past Interview questions as well as GD/PI prep from TIME institute. Shortlisting was done based on CAT/XAT %ile & the GD/PI process was then conducted. No further rounds were there except the mentioned ones
