Marketing Centric B School of North India

The admission process at IMT beings early in the month of September to October and has certain prerequisite likes >50% in the graduation to be eligible for the full-time PGDM program. The process of submission of applications and other necessary documents is done online and is comprehensive in nature. I did not avail of any reservation benefits. Overall I am satisfied with the admission process albeit a more timely communication from the admission team on the status of the application would have been highly appreciated.

I chose to pursue MBA in marketing to further enhance my skill set and knowledge of business studies after having decent practical exposure of working in my family business and getting hands-on with on-ground work involved in an organization. The faculties to student ratio are average with around 60 to 65 people in a section and this helps in opening doors for enhanced peer learning and deliberation in classes, especially during case study analysis, the core of any MBA program. Teachers have extensive industrial and teaching experience and employ the latest pedagogies in their teaching techniques generating a lot of engagement and interaction in each lecture and are very receptive to feedback Exams are of moderate difficulty with emphasis on application-based questions.

The summer internship process begins early in the first year with students having options in consulting, FMCG, IT, BFSI, etc industries in good stipends and projects. Mentorship sessions are held with alumni and faculties to prepare students for internships and possible PPO opportunities.

Various companies visit the campus from small size to blue-chip dream firms offering all kinds of roles for all the specializations at IMT. There is a large percentage of students who bag the placements through campus facilitated process and the package is highly competitive given the industry standard of the same. I will in most likelihood resume the family business post completion of my MBA degree.

In my year of admission, the fees were hiked by around 10% which meant the overall cost of the program rose to close to Rs 20,00,000, which I personally feel is on the steep side given the average placements batch is receiving Scholarships are little to be found.

The campus at IMT is always bustling thanks to the plethora of clubs and committees active on the club and huge batch size, thus it's common to find students reading at the library, playing some sport, or just jamming in the amphitheater at any given point of time. The classrooms are built-in state-of-the-art architecture with projector display and ergonomic design of seating arrangement. Right from placement activities, student welfare, and affairs to international relations and a lot more, all are run by students, supervised by a faculty coordinator.

The hostel rooms are tidy and have all the basic amenities such as Air Conditioner, wardrobe, and single beds for double occupancy. The mess food is quite elaborate and prepared for the palates of masses having regulated spice and flavor and often sweets and snacks are the cherries on the cake. Allocation of student rooms is handled by the student council and is done in a systematic fashion. Accommodation is available in both the main campus and nearby Center of distance learning owned by IMT

There was an SOP and video assessment round before the personal interview and it had a topic on why MBA and future goals to see the right fit of candidates for this rigorous program. The interview was more a discussion with the panel around your ambition in life, my experience and challenges in the family business and why I wish to pursue MBA at IMT Ghaziabad, and what all other calls I have got.
