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


Likes

  • The course curriculum was so interesting that it can transform a student, making him/her a successful professional and enabling them to achieve the best.
  • Top companies visit the campus, and the summer placement report is also available on the website (100+ companies) from consulting, finance, operations, production, etc.
  • The placements of IIM Calcutta are very good. It is one of the best B-schools in the country and has a 100% placement rate. If the placements do not go as planned, you can always apply outside and get a job.
  • In addition, due to the institutions relationship with several banks, it is able to provide exceptional loan services to students.
  • Best out of all the IIMs, undoubtedly, with the best sports amenities and culture, and the best library with millions of online and offline resources. It also has a subscription to the best resources used by corporates, which come in handy during research.
  • During our one-week campus visit at IIM C, Joka, the hostel and the provided food were really good.
  • IIM Calcutta has a great brand name and is well-known as the Finance campus of India.

Dislike

  • Though there have been minor instances of mismanagement observed, they did not reflect the overall rating of this B-School compared to other B-Schools in India.

Placement Experience:

The campus placements are offered with a 100% success rate every year. There is a placement committee that looks after the entire end-to-end process. Preparation is conducted in a timely and organized manner. The current average CTC is 34 lacs making a good ROI.

Remarks:

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.

IIM Calcutta: 11 Answered Questions

Ques. What is your opinion on the IIM Calcutta PGPEX course?

● Top Answer By Shreya Sinha on 01 Dec 22

According to the Financial Times MBA ranking, the one-year PGPEX MBA programme is among the top ones worldwide. This programme is ideal for middle managers with at least 5 years of experience who want to advance their careers as business leaders. The programme, which has the distinction of being one of the best MBA programmes in the country, not only transforms your worldview but also prepares you to be a responsible leader. This MBA programme is ranked among the top ten in the world for career advancement and one of the best in terms of return on investment. However, only a small number of candidates are admitted to the class. To be selected, candidates must have a high GMAT, strong academic records, and a successful career history. People in the PGPEX class have worked in various parts of the world and in various domains. It is not surprising if your class project team includes a doctor, an army captain, an entrepreneur, and a bureaucrat. In the classroom, diversity is essential. Prospects for post-program employment are also promising....Read more

Ques. What is the reality of Life at IIM Calcutta (IIM C)? Want to know about the placements? Is it worth joining IIM C or other institutions? One of the top IIM is myth or reality?

● Top Answer By Lovish Juneja on 01 Dec 22

Placements at IIM Calcutta are modified versions of the Stanford Prison Experiment that involve less physical abuse but ruthless psychological torture. And it is past time that CAT aspirants and the general public were made aware of this. It is also an attempt to raise awareness among the Institute's Board of Governors, faculty, and other stakeholders. It also reflects utter dissatisfaction with IIM-C Alumni who graduated in recent years and failed to take any action or stand up for what is right, despite knowing what goes on here. Yes, the Placement Committee members were recently subjected to a Non-Confidence Motion because a majority of final-year MBAs finally took a stand against the oppressive regime. If you fail to attend company PPTs or a Wing mate fails to attend due to illness, your entire wing will be barred from at least three companies. Unless you're a friend or a beloved, of course. Nobody holds PlaceCom accountable....Read more

Ques. Are the IIMs at Ahmedabad Bangalore and Calcutta equally good, especially regarding placements?

● Top Answer By Radha Sharan on 01 Dec 22

All three are fantastic brands, but that's it. After the first two terms, there isn't much to learn at any of these colleges. If you come from a CA/Commerce background, you won't need to learn much about these two terms. Case study-based instruction is overrated and out of date. Because the cultures on the campuses differ slightly, it is best to consider where you will fit in the best. While the set of recruiters is very similar, your ability to get shortlisted is heavily dependent on your relative profile, i.e., your performance in comparison to other students in your batch. It is more important to consider how good your profile is in comparison to the recruiters who come to the college. IIMB has a much higher average work experience, and IIMC will have more people with extremely high CAT scores but a slightly lower academic performance history. For example, if you don't have stellar academics and aren't from one of the top undergraduate institutions, IIMC is a better option for placement. If you want to work in finance but don't have much experience, IIMA is probably not the best option for you. A and B have much more professional placement cells, but C has made changes in recent years to move in this direction as well. However, having a professional placement cell does not guarantee a completely fair process, because, in many companies, PPO holders play a significant role in Summer placement shortlists. However, when compared to other colleges, the situation in these three is far superior. IIM A is a slightly better brand than IIM B and IIM C, but the difference is not significant. You should talk to people at all of these colleges about placement. While much placement-related data is kept confidential, students can still give you an idea of your chances in the field of your choice. Rather than following the age-old ABC pattern, make an informed decision....Read more

Ques. What are the reviews for an executive diploma in digital marketing at IIM Calcutta?

● Top Answer By Aditya Shekhar on 01 Dec 22

The following review is based on personal experience with my sister who got enrolled in the current batch. The following points will surely change your mind regarding the executive diploma in digital marketing at IIM Calcutta: Quality of the batch is extremely poor. It is more like a money making program than a knowledge imparting one. The fee for this program is exceptionally high. The course is priced at 3,28,000 for just 6 months. Whereas digital marketing institutes offer better courses at fees as low as INR 5000. The quality of the curriculum is below average. Rather than focusing on the main topic they are stuck to age old basic concepts of traditional marketing. No placement assistance is there for this programme. Lastly, this certification adds no value to your CV. Don’t go for this program. The time and money are not worth investing in. Rather go for digital marketing institutes where industry experts will teach you better skills at low fees and less duration....Read more

Ques. How is it like being at FMS Delhi? Would you trade your life with someone studying in top IIMs A B or C?

● Top Answer By Gaurav Yadav on 10 Jan 23

In comparison to the IIMs, FMS retains the advantages of small batch size and a fee structure that is relatively low. The small batch size simplifies placements significantly. With the exception of a few foreign consultancies, most of the top companies that visit the IIMs also visit FMS. Despite all of the university's bureaucracy, etc., there is a well-established alumni network that still ensures that things work out for the current batches. Because of the small batch size, people are extremely competitive. This was in stark contrast to what you hear about the IIMs. Even though they have competition but they maintain some semblance of sanity due to the large batch. FMS can be difficult to manage at times, both in obvious behaviours and subtle actions by people you study with. The culture at FMS is influenced by the culture of Delhi. In comparison, IIMs are unquestionably more cosmopolitan. Unless you have prior exposure, adjusting to a new environment can be difficult for people from very different cultures, such as the South or East. Otherwise, you'll have to learn to adjust the hard way. But it's still worth the effort. The people you meet in both locations are of the highest calibre. It is up to you to make the best of the situation. Even if given the chance, there's no way one would like to trade places with the IIMs....Read more

Ques. How good is the public policy program at IIM Calcutta?

● Top Answer By Sarvesh Chaturvedi on 01 Dec 22

Fellow programs in Public Policy are available at IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta. IIM B is the most popular of India's three IIMs for Public Policy. The PPM Program is a multidisciplinary group of active researchers and teachers from a variety of social science backgrounds. High-quality academic research, teaching, and consulting for policy analysis and program evaluation are used to address challenges in policy innovation, governance for the delivery of public services, the relationship between government and industry, social policy, and legal and regulatory issues.  The key to gaining knowledge is social learning, which can best develop through grounded interactions with others at conferences and seminars.

Ques. Is PGCGM by IIM Calcutta a good course?

● Top Answer By Ravneet Kaur on 01 Dec 22

PGCGM is an excellent course if you want an IIM certification but don't want to leave your job. The learning is the same, and the faculty is the same; the only difference is that this is taught in a virtual online classroom rather than you sitting in a classroom in Calcutta. It also includes three campus visits, so you can get a feel for the campus. Most people struggle to get into an IIM, and the PGCGM course costs 3.5 lakh versus 31 lakh for ISB's PGP Pro course....Read more

Ques. Which one is a better option: an MBA from The University of Melbourne or a PGDM from IIM Calcutta?

● Top Answer By Lagan Aarya on 20 Dec 22

It is advised that you pursue a PGDM from IIM Kolkata. In comparison to the MBA at the University of Melbourne, they cover a wide range of subjects in two years. MBA students in Australia typically have extensive commercial experience. It is very different from the United States. Examine the course structure of two different degrees. Furthermore, Australians place a higher value on local experience or experience in comparable labor markets such as New Zealand, the United States, and Canada. And an MBA isn't much of a differentiator. An LLB/ Bcom CA in Australia does a lot of the work that an MBA might do overseas much better. It is recommended that you attend IIM Kolkata if you have already been accepted....Read more

Ques. How good is the Executive Program In Financial Risk Investment Management EPFRIM at IIM Calcutta?

● Top Answer By Ridhima Airi on 19 Dec 22

Any course offered by an institute like IIM Calcutta is guaranteed to be of the highest quality and have significant industry relevance. Instead of this course, it is recommended that you take the CAT and then enroll in the flagship PGDM program at IIM Calcutta. That would be entirely consistent with your desire to work in investment banking.  The recent financial crisis was largely caused by managers' inability to fully comprehend and manage the operational risks of the new generation of derivatives. Future finance managers, it is believed, must be fully equipped with the mathematical and conceptual theories, as well as best practices, that go into the creation and management of such innovative products. The IIMC faculty combines academic excellence with top management industry experience. IIMC also hires international faculty from top business schools. The IIMC certification and alumni network help participants advance in their careers. The program is only for working professionals, and there will be no campus placement after this course. ...Read more
