Hostels are great. Single-allocated rooms are giving the students the utmost privacy considering you are doing a residential Post Graduation. The rooms are provided with Amirah, Study Table, Chair, A bed, and Fan. They are well-ventilated and the housekeeping facility is available for cleaning at different times of the day. Every hostel has its mess having different quality of food but all in all, the mess facility is great at IIMC.
There are over 30+ clubs in the institute catering to all the diverse interests of students coming from across different places in the country. Despite a heavy focus on academics, the campus is a highly fun place to be at. There are 4 hostels. A 7 lakes fest is conducted annually imbibing its name from the 7 lakes on the campus. Coming to sports, Sangharsh is conducted between IIMA, B, C, and L in addition to the popular C vs XLRI rivalry. The sports infrastructure isn't fantastic but it still is above par when compared to other major Indian institutes.
4 Hostels: Old Hostel, White Hostel, New Hostel, and Lake view hostel. WH has the bests food and overall the best experience, while LVH has the best infrastructure but is a bit far from Acad block compared to the other hostels. We get a fully furnished single room with all amenities.
Life at the campus is best including a student exchange program, CEMS MiM program (only one in India), multiple inter-college events, sports meets, intersections, etc. Classrooms are equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and we have over 40 clubs and committees and you can join as many as you want.
We have 4 hostels, 2 of which are Co-ed, the biggest hostel is LVH which stands for lake view hostel. Hostels have good infrastructure, a centralized air-conditioned hostel will soon be built (work started as much as I know) for 600 students. Mess is handled by the student council and menu changes frequently at the behest of student residents. The registration process is effortless, everything is taken care of beforehand.
Best out of all IIMs undoubtedly with the best sports amenities and culture, the best library with millions of online and offline resources with a subscription to the best resources used by corporates which come in handy during research. We even have a trading lab equipped with NSE terminals. We have close to 40 clubs and interest groups apart from sports, cultural, alumni, External relations, and student council.
Fan and light are available in the room. No AC, even though it's sorely needed The food menu is the same across all 4 messes. However taste differs, depending on the mess contractor. Hostel registration is automatic and randomly allotted. Due to the lack of AC, rooms are not worth the hefty course fees of the premise institute.
College fest name is 7 lakes fest held in November The library has a good collection of books. I don't use though AC classroom + cafeteria + projector + white and blackboards The sports culture is good with facilities for tennis, squash, table tennis, pool, football, frisbee List of clubs available on the website
The annual fest is ' 7 lakes fest' which is the flagship fest of IIM Calcutta and includes Sports, Business, and cultural activities and competitions. All the books and latest journals are available in the Library. The classrooms are Air conditioned and with smart equipment.
Admission to IIMC is a two-stage process. Step 1 comprises clearing CAT which if done, Step 2 opens up where you are supposed to give PI. The college assigns mentors to all the shortlisted candidates for guidance across the entire admission process.
PGBy - PRATEEK GONDWALThrough the CAT percentile, application on CAT's official website generally rolls out in November. Reservations for PwD, SC/ST, OBC. No improvement is needed, the process can be a little fairer for a general male engineers.
RABy - RUDRAKSH AGARWALIt was a PI process preceded by CAT. All the information was made available timely on the website and the admissions office coordinated the process flawlessly. The ER cell also provided mentors which were PGP students and were matched to our profile.
