IIM Trichy- The best new IIM?

I choose to do this course following my passion and staunch interest in marketing management. The faculty members at IIM Trichy are extremely qualified, and almost all the senior faculty members have completed their Ph.D. from the Old IIMs. Most senior faculty have more than ten years of teaching experience, and the newer faculty have 4-5 years of experience. The teaching pedagogy is usually case-based, where the concepts will be taught through case discussions. The entire course is divided into six terms. The first three terms consist of mandatory subjects, while the next three terms are electives. The grading system is relative, and the grading components differ for different courses. The intake batch size is 410, including PGPM and PGPM HR, and the number of faculty members is 43. The faculty: student ratio is around 10. The exams always take place as per the fixed schedule, and exams were not very easy to pass. They test the conceptual knowledge of the student very well.
