What students say about Indian Institute of Management - [IIM]

Likes

The course curriculum is excellent, providing case-based education, allowing you to learn a lot about management. You will also have the opportunity for peer learning experiences and open discussions in class.
The internship is done under the SIP program, and lots of companies visit the campus and offer great roles. Therefore, there are excellent opportunities in an internship as well.
Great companies with excellent pay scales visit the campus, such as BCG, EY, Karney, Aditya Birla Capital, Mickey and Co., Reliance, and TATA Strategy Group. They come every year.
Frankly speaking, I dont know about all the scholarships until now because I am busy with many assignments and meetings with seniors. However, there is a need for merit-based scholarships on campus.
The infrastructure is awesome. The college is situated in the cleanest city of India, and you will get the best infrastructure in college.
The registration process is hassle-free, and you can easily contact the hostel authority if you are facing any issues.
Its an excellent college with very good management. The director is an amazing individual.

IPM at IIM Indore is an excellent opportunity after 12th standard

Placement Experience:

During the 14th semester of IPM/5th semester of PGP. More than 150 companies. All students get placed. Mostly all domain companies come. Plan to do the job. Rarely do students pursue startups after the course. There is an option to leave after your Bachelor's and take a sabbatical for one year before mba.

Remarks:

Eligibility is After 12, give ipmat exam. Got an interview call. The interview was based on subject knowledge studied in higher secondary, general knowledge and hobbies. Also gave a written ability test on the same day as the interview. It was for 30 min and the topic for writing the essay was given on the spot.

A Fresher's Experience of IIMI

Placement Experience:

Campus placement is one of the major value propositions in the institute. Placements processes usually kick off during term V, in both offline and online mode and the entire process is coordinated greatly by the Placement Committee. Close to 200 companies participated in the process in the previous batch, including multiple new ones. For the previous batch, the average package was INR 25.01LPA and the median was INR 24.09LPA, the closeness of the figures assuring a laudable package for everyone. To detail even further, the average package of the top 100 students was INR 37.95 LPA. The highest package was also about INR 50 LPA. 100% placement has always been the case, despite having the largest batch size across all the IIMs in the country. Also, there has been a legacy of Elite recuiters such as BCG, Goldman Sachs and HUL, with majority of the students opting for the Consulting domain.

Remarks:

To be eligible for admission into the course, the candidate ought to have completed or be in the final year of graduation, with a specified threshold of marks across all past academic performance. As with any other IIM, the application can be made through the CAT (Common Admission Test) portal. The application fees is INR 1800/- for General category candidates (half of that for reserved categories), which covers the application to all the IIMs. (However, it may be noted that certain IIMs such as Rohtak charge separate fees for application.) Applications for the CAT form close around September-October. After the results come out in January, the institutes release interview calls. For this Institute in particular, past academic performance gets a high weightage- 40% for 10th and 34% for 12th, each being normalized using minimum and maximum scores. 6 points are also awarded for gender diversity. For the final selection, 40 points are allocated for the personal interview round.

Short Summary of IIM Indore

Placement Experience:

The placements are in line with what one would expect from IIM Indore but there is an issue of random shortlists and a student-run placement cell that is unable to deal with things efficiently. Summer placements are random while finals are more organized

Remarks:

Took CAT exam and secured 96.5 percentile. There was a personal interview held which covered some basic GK questions about the news of the time and questions related to my undergraduate. They were conducted online but then have shifted to offline

Good

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is very good and holistic. It gives an exposure to the field of HR. The faculty are very interactive and helpful. The course is designed in such a way that it covers each and every aspect of Human Resources Management.

Class Size : 39Course Fees : INR 1900000 per year

Remarks:

The admission process involved some steps. Firstly they announced their cutoff for selection criteria. For HRM it was around 90+ to clear the cutoff and 60+ for the sectional cutoff. Non. Engineering students had extra points and for gender diversity, they gave extra points to female candidates. After clearing the eligibility criteria we got a detailed form, which included basic details, SOP writing, and other information. Then we got called for PI and after the interview, the results were declared.

IIMI

Placement Experience:

Placements are good mostly happening in 6 semesters. A number of companies used to take part in the process and most of the students also. I want to be an HR manager after the completion of my degree.

Remarks:

Eligible after graduation, the application form float in the month of July, and the exam schedule in November are based on whether you got selected for further process GDs or PIs. The process is good enough that there is no need for improvement.

Life at IIM Indore

Placement Experience:

In term 5 final placements starts. A huge number of companies visit with a good package. There is an ample number of opportunities provided by the placement committee. The highest is somewhere 1 Crore and the average 30 lakh.

Remarks:

I have CAT 2021 as my first step to getting into IIM Indore. Anyone who is a graduate or in the final year of graduation can apply for CAT. More details regarding CAT can be found on its website. IIM Indore's cut-off depends on what background you have, and what is your gender, and if female, you get extra points during the interview shortlist and final result. Non-engineers also get extra points. The cut-off is somewhere between 98-99.8 percentile in CAT with a stellar academic record as weightage during shortlisting is only 20% for CAT scores and remaining for past academic scores and others. Cut-off differs according to category. Above mentioned cut-off is for a general-category student. Due to Covid, I had an online interview and there was no GD. The interview questions will be majorly on your work experience or internship and academic background if you are a fresher. For improvement, I think less weightage should be given to past academic scores and more to CAT scores.

Ques. How was your first day at IIM Indore IPM?

● Top Answer By Vedika Pandey on 12 Jan 23

Here is the experience of one of the IPM students of IIM Indore. She completed some paperwork and a brief registration process as soon as she arrived at the campus and Hostel Reception Center, after which she was given her temporary identity card, room key, etc. She also completed the course registration and other paperwork later that day. The following two days of Induction were when the real action began. On the second day, she and her friends hurried to the auditorium after hearing an introduction to the faculty, information about IGNOU, and the format of the IPM course. The remaining three days of the induction passed slowly. Despite the fact that students were involved and there were actual activities. You are prepared for life at IIM, which is tedious and enjoyable but irregularly busy, during the 7-hour continuous induction....Read more

Ques. What has more value, an IPM from IIM Indore or a BBA from some reputed college and then an MBA from some top IIM?

● Top Answer By Farah Shah on 12 Jan 23

First, keep in mind that you're looking for a program that will help you develop your entire personality while also giving you access to cutting-edge amenities and facilities and an assured MBA from one of the best B schools in the nation. The IPM course offered by IIM Indore is ideal for you if this is what you're looking for. If, however, you are solely interested in a BBA program and are confident that you can enter IIM ABC after BBA despite the competition from roughly 2 lakh engineers, then go for it. However, if you choose to do so, you also have the choice to leave the IPM after receiving your undergraduate degree and enroll in a better business school to complete your MBA. Therefore, if you must choose between the two, it is advised that you go with the first because it will give you better exposure, a more competitive environment, better amenities, and a rare opportunity to graduate from an IIM that is among the top 5 in the nation....Read more
