Decent Private B School of North India

It was an online process for us since we covid pandemic and restrictions were prevalent, we had the flexibility of submitting various entrance exam scores such as CAT, XAT, GMAT for the application followed by shortlisting based on profile and entrance exams for the PI. Overall the experience was good albeit the communication on the movement of waitlist was delayed and lacked transparency per say.

Marketing faculty is quite good at IMT and especially a few professors who have decades of industry experience are an alumnus of tier 1 colleges for their PhDs and MBAs thus providing great insights and practically oriented pedagogy. Since I am a people person and extrovert in nature, I went ahead with marketing specialization. There are almost 60 students in each section. I am happy with the case based learning curriculum and updated topics that are relevant in recent times such as Data Science and Analytics, FinTech etc. Exams were scheduled online in lieu of pandemic and were conducted seamlessly with proper plagiarism checks to check control on cheating and papers were balanced in nature in terms of difficulty for most of the subjects.

The summer internship process is quite systematic with various companies offering competitive stipends from sectors such as BFSI, FMCG, Consulting, IT, etc. The projects offered have a steep learning curve and would give good exposure to a student working in a professional setting. Short Term Projects and live projects are also floated from time to time for students to engage in meaningful endeavours throughout the term.

College placements are handled by the placement committee and a large number of companies from various verticals offer a plethora of job profiles for students of various specializations. As per the latest placement report published by the college, the 2020-22 batch has concluded the final placements with avg package of ~15 LPA.

The fee is slightly on the higher side of overall 19.53L for the course which seems on the steep side considering the fact that in the pandemic scenario, international immersion week and various on campus endeavours were curbed. College does however provide some merit scholarship for students who exhibit exemplary performance in academics during the coursework.

The Annual fest - "Passion" was quite good which was organized in December 2021. The library is quite neat and extensive in terms of resources. Classrooms are well designed. There are various sports facilities available on campus such as Basketball, football, table tennis etc. Various clubs and committees run by students are active in the college such as Marketing club, Finance Club, International Relations Committee etc.

The rooms provided are quite decent with basic amenities and are mostly quite neat and well maintained. Washrooms of certain old blocks could see a renovation, however, the newest blocks have great infrastructure for the same. Meals are quite good and have an elaborate variety. The hostel registration process is easy and slightly on the premium side in terms of affordability. Accommodation is available both on the main campus and CDL which is a few kms away from the main campus for 1st year boys.

There was a 1 min video we had to submit discussing our statement of purpose to pursue an MBA and why IMT. Personal interview was a smooth and warm process where the panellist was more interested in a conversation and knowing you better rather than grilling you which was a welcome change in the b school admission process. Current affairs, work experience, why marketing and MBA along with future outlook and contribution to the college and students were key discussion points in the interview process.
