Due to covid, the course has been continuing online since the start of the year hence I have not been able to experience the campus but it is really good and with well built infrastructure. A number of facilities are available at the campus. A lot of options for extracurricular activities like various clubs including dance, drama, music, photography, literature, marketing, finance etc.

The interview was easy and smooth. It was online due to covid but it was well managed. I had 2 panellists for my interview and each asked around 3-4 questions. The questions were not direct but were easy to answer. Some questions revolved around the top companies of the IPM, the use of bachelor's subjects in the industry, covid vaccines, etc. There was also a written analytical test conducted on the same day of the interview.
