I chose this course because MBA is a qualification that is a minimum requirement to climb the corporate ladder, I chose to do it from IMI, New Delhi because this college hones the overall skill-set and does a holistic development of an individual. The course also makes you go through subjects which help you in corporate and are very relevant as they keep updating the courses every year according to the industry trend. Faculty:Student ratio is around 1: 9. All faculties at IMI are PhDs or equivalent and have industry exposure. All faculties are very learned as they also conduct MDPs. The pedagogy is case based and hence the learning is phenomenal. Quizzes, assignments, projects and term exams are a few components for the evaluation. After every 5 weeks, we have exams post the commencement of the course (midterm and then end term). Quizzes are scheduled almost every week. If you are studying then not at all difficult but if the student is not studying then very difficult.
