IIM Amritsar- Getting better each day

The curriculum is most advanced at par with all major business schools in India. It is made by industry standards and needs in association with professional stakeholders. The curriculum for Analytics students includes all major courses on AI/ML, python, R Power BI, and Tableau, etc.

The entire batch got placed for their summer internships with better packages. The roles offered were also better than in previous years and are likely to grow better for the coming batches. Almost all major brands and companies visited and recruited the students. Some students were offered PPOs and some got placed in dream offers thereafter.

For a newer IIM, the placements are doing exceptionally well, all thanks to the student-run placements team. All major recruitment firms have been visiting or have visited the campus and have recruited students for various roles. With time, it is bound to get better and stronger.

The fee structure is fixed and the same for all students. It is relatively cheaper than many leading business schools and bears the cost of education and the institute. A lot of government-sponsored scholarships are made available to students.

Life at the campus is quite happening and is usually very busy for all students. The classes at any business school go on till the evening and keep you occupied throughout the week. There are a lot of interest groups being run by students that keep the students engaged with various interactive events, guest lectures, etc. bringing in various professionals from the corporate.

The institute has its hostel running in a mess. It is being taken care of by a student-run- student-elected committee that keeps the student's welfare at the forefront. All the students reside together in a hostel compound that helps in creating bonhomie amongst students, which helps them network and enjoy beyond college hours.

The admission process is standard about all peer IIMs through CAT. The shortlisted students post CAT results are called for a Personal Interview which is taken by a panel of college professors or external consultants.

The admission process consisted of a direct interview. However, admission is not just dependent on your interview performance. A consolidated score is determined based on your 10th, and 12th, graduation percentage along with your CAT percentile plus your interview performance. Apart from this, due weightage is given to academic and gender diversity. If you have some work experience, some weightage is given to that as well. The admission criteria are decided by the admissions team and are quite just and transparent.
