IIM Bodh Gaya- A review

I am pursuing MBA. IIM Bodh Gaya has a good faculty-to-student ratio. The faculties mostly follow a practical approach to teaching. They have completed their education at prestigious institutes. IIM Bodh Gaya adheres strictly to its yearly calendar. The term exams are decent and they set the exam bar from moderate to slightly challenging.

Internships are offered by companies like Morgan Stanley, Adobe, etc. The projects are from various domains like HR, Finance, Marketing, etc. The stipend offered is above the industry average and mostly the role offered involves work in various domains.

The placements are good. Various good companies visit our campus. Our placement report gets updated on the website and gets audited as well. IIM BG boasts 100 % placements. All the other details are duly mentioned on the official website.

The fee structure is good. The college gives a good ROI. There is a provision for need-based scholarships called NBFA. You can easily get loan options from multiple banks. The college provides guided assistance to students so that they can benefit the maximum from it.

We have a college fest called Elegante which is generally conducted in December or January. The E-Cell of our college also hosts YES( Youth Entrepreneurship Summit) which promotes budding entrepreneurs. IIM BG has a plethora of books in its E-Resource. We get free premium versions of various sites like Grammarly, quillbot, etc. The classrooms have good infrastructure and air conditioning. The sports culture is good with people actively playing various games like football, volleyball, TT, etc. There are close to 25 clubs and committees.

The hostel facility is good. We have our hostels renovated and well-maintained. The mess food is good where we have a variety of options and both veg and non-veg. The hostel is included in the total fees as it's a residential course.

The admission process is balanced. We have to write the CAT exam and then there is a PI round. The application form is available from August onwards and the exam is generally held on the last Sunday of November. The reservation policies are implemented in a general manner. The admission process is smooth but I feel it could be a little faster.

There was no group discussion as such but the Personal Interview had a lot of questions from your form and the past academics, work experience, etc. They do ask you about the current happenings in the world and it's mostly centered around very generic knowledge. There is a minimum criterion for admission which is more than 50% in 10th,12th, and graduation. You mostly have to prepare for current affairs till the day of your interview.
