Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

IIM Bangalore is one of the best MBA colleges in the country. It has a rigorous curriculum that covers every aspect of management. The program is spread over six terms, with core courses taught for three terms. Two electives are also offered in the third term. The faculties are excellent, highly qualified, and well-regarded. Exchange opportunities are offered in the fifth term, giving students a chance to study and learn business practices in other countries. Overall it is well-designed and one of the best MBA courses in the country.

Internships Opportunities

5

More than 150 companies visited us this year for summer placements. Consulting saw the highest number of offers made with top recruiting firms such as McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Accenture, etc. The average stipend was around 150-200K per month. There are also a lot of live project opportunities available.

Placement Experience

5

The summer internship for PGP1s happens in the second term, and the final placements for PGP2 happen in the sixth term. Students with work-ex have their lateral placements in the 5th and 6th terms. The placement is marvelous. Last year the average placement was 33.8 LPA for finals. More than 150 companies, including all the top names, visit our campus. More than 550 offers are made. Everyone gets placed.

Fees and Financial Aid

The total fee for six terms is 26.5 Lakhs. Students with an annual income lower than eight lakhs can apply for financial aid up to 100% after admission. There are a lot of scholarship opportunities available, which can be checked on IIM Bangalore's website.

Campus Life

5

The campus life is really good. There's a library that is open all day, plus you also get access to the digital library; you'll never be short of any book/research paper. The classrooms are well-designed and equipped with modern teaching technologies like projectors, sound systems, etc. You'll get individual rooms in the hostel; there's a ration shop and three food outlets, including one Amul outlet. There are a lot of clubs and societies that give you enough exposure. Also, there are three major fests names unmade, vista, and eximius.

Hostel Facilities

5

The hostel facility is really good. You'll get single-furnished rooms. The hostel is compulsory for PGP1 students and you get in during the time of registration. Facilities like washing machines, geysers, daily cleaning, etc., are available. You don't need to rent a PG.

Admission

Any candidate having a bachelor's degree and a minimum of 50% marks (Gen) is eligible for admission at IIM Bangalore. Candidates must appear for the Common Admission Test (CAT) to get an admission call. The calls are rolled out based on different criteria like CAT Score, 10th marks, 12th marks, UG marks, Work Ex, etc. The weightage given to each criterion changes every year. Post receiving a call, candidates need to appear for the Written Ability Test and PI Process. The WAT checks your analytical writing skills, and the PI judges your caliber. Again based on different criteria, including WAT and PI, candidates are offered admission to the course. The reservation benefits can be availed similarly to any other government institution.

Interview Experience

4.5

There was no group discussion; however, there was a written ability test and personal Interview. My WAT topic was related to Covid-19. The interview was based on finance and economics questions, along with a discussion on technologies such as metaverse. I did self-preparation, mostly through YouTube and newspapers.

Placement Experience:

Placements in the college are good for marketing specialization. Compared to other specializations, from semester 2 itself, students become eligible for campus placements. Companies like Deloitte, KPMG, ICICI Bank, and HDFC Bank visit the campus. The highest package this year was 40 LPA, and the average package is around 6.5 LPA. The percentage of students getting placed is 70% for now. After getting the degree, selection in a good company is my plan.

Placement Experience:

The average package offered is moderate and there are limited opportunities for high paying roles compared to top tier colleges. Companies that visit the campus are mostly small to mid sized organizations. The placement cell is very supportive and conduct training sessions such as aptitude tests, mock interviews and soft skills development to prepare students for placements.

Placement Experience:

Placement in my college is decent, wiyh around 90% of students are getting placed. Students usually become eligible for placement in their final year and the college provides internships opportunities before that, which helps in gaining experience. Many companies visit to campus mainly from marketing and sales, along with some roles in HR and operations. The number of offer is good but option for finance and analytic are comparatively limited.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would like to rate the course 7 out of 10. Because as these is a distance learning many difficulties occur. I am doing a MBA in ksou after my graduation in b. Com. As ksou comes under UGT it is more helpful for the job seeker. As per my knowledge the faculty should conduct a more classes may be through online so that the working people can attend the classes from wherever they want. There are many distance learning courses in ksou academic platform but they are not handling in a accuracy. They take a lot of time to announce a results, even to conduct a exams they take a lot of time. The question paper are sometimes difficult and the question will be from out of syllabus which will be difficult to attend. Distance learning course is difficult to manage

Practically 80% of my 2020 batch was given job offer by top recruiting organizations like Amazon, iGate, Accenture, HCL, Infosys, Wipro, DE Shaw & Co. Typically the average package they offered to people was around 3- 4 lakhs and the highest was way up to 10 lakhs. Our College possessed an active location cell that functioned hard to provide recruitment and other job opportunities to us.
