IIM-C Review

The first step is to take CAT. I secured the 99.65 percentile in my CAT 2020 exam and got shortlisted for the next process. After I was shortlisted, we had to go through WAT and PI. Wat and PI both happened Online. Due to the covid situation, the process was entirely online. The interview was taken by the faculty. I had a panel of three people and mostly my interview revolved around current affairs, situation questions, and Internships I did in past.

I am doing my Regular MBA course from IIM-C. The curriculum here focuses on building future managers and leaders. With a variety of courses like finance, marketing and sales, product management, consulting etc IIM-C offers great learning. Faculties are very good and helpful. The student: faculty ratio is about 15:1. Regular quiz happen which helps us to keep pace with academics and there are not tough to pass if you pay attention in class.

IIMC had good summer placements this year. It was almost concluded in a week's time with 100 percent students placed. Consulting and IT sectors dominated followed by BFSI Marketing and Product management. It would be a two-month summer internship. The average package was about 1.3 lakh this year in summer placements.

IIM-C is well known for its out-of-the-box placement records. IIMC achieved 100 percent placement this year as well. There were about 160 recruiters giving 550 job offers. Mostly the companies were from MArketing, consulting sectors followed by BFSI and IT. The average placement stood around 28 lakhs and the highest domestic CTC went up as high as 60 lakhs.

The fee for 2 years MBA course is about 23 lakhs ( hostel includes in this. The mess fee per month is different. IIM offers scholarships to people who require financial aid and qualify for certain academic criteria. some scholarships are Aditya Birla, op Jindal, etc. Placements are really good in IIM-C.

The campus of IIMC is very beautiful and the lake makes it more beautiful. The hostels are really good with single occupancy. Social life is very promising here with many clubs and committees like sports, Marketing, finance, economics, dance and drama, etc which makes students work together from different streams. Books are available both in online and offline mode in libraries with good material. IIM-C also provides a student exchange program to some 80-100 students.

The year there was no GD for us. We had to write a WAT and give an interview. The topic for WAT was very general and the interview was based on current affairs and situational questions, People with work ex were asked many questions on their experience and work in the company. For preparation, you have to read daily and be aware of what is happening around the world, and be prepared for work ex questions if you have any experience.
