Is there any bias against IPM students during placements in IIM Indore? Are they considered equal to PGP students?
Yes, there indeed is a certain level of bias that IPM students face during the placement process. But the reason is well justified. Being a newly established course, IPM lacks the certainty of success. The industries are only gradually developing their trust towards this course over the years. So the recruiters are still a bit hesitant in investing in an IPM student.
But if you look at the figures, you can see that the course has been gaining trust and climbing the ladder drastically over the past few years. Also, I don’t think it’s justifiable to draw a comparison between a 7-year-old program that has already been recognized (PGP) to a newly established course (IPM).
People usually compare these 2 programs because they see IPM as a means to join IIM by escaping CAT. This is not the case at all. IPM is much more than that. It needs no comparison to any other program. It is a full-fledged integrated course that is way ahead of other undergrad or integrated courses across the nation both in terms of the kind of education it offers and the placements.

How do we transform from NIT, Trichy to be student friendly?
NIT Trichy has one of the most beautiful campuses and transforming it into a friendly campus just gives a kind of skeptical feeling. I would like to share with you one of my cousin’s experiences, who recently passed out from NIT Trichy.
- He told me how strict the faculty and admin are in NIT-T.
- The teachers are supposed to maintain a strict student-teacher relationship.
- While the admin is friendly enough to the students.
He says if NIT-T has to become more student-friendly, efforts have to be made by everyone. Be it students, faculty members, or the admin. The list includes the following:
- Being organized and presenting the difficulty you face.
- Come up with appropriate solutions to tackle it.You should present your ideas.
- You must realize the students of NIT-T are its true asset and that a student-friendly environment is quintessential for their all-round development.
- The faculty should be the first to lend a helping hand to students and interact.
- Teachers need to realize that they are not merely to teach but to motivate students.
- Yes, many have complaints regarding admin being cold and harsh and less interactive or none.
- But, action has to be taken by keeping the students as the highest priority without compromising the ideology of NIT-T.
There is a bit of light air since the new Director is appointed in NITT. Now, this is the apt time for all of you to put forward your creative and ingenious ideas which will change NITT for the better.
