Remarks

International Management Institute, not having a residential program. Minimum marks is 85 percentile in CAT for people having less than 24 months workex and for people having workex more than 24 months work ex, minimum marks required is 80 percentile in CAT. The admission process required a GD, PI and English test.

Course Curriculum Overview

I wanted to keep my options open for all specialisations. The faculty student ratio is good, an appropriate amount of faculty, probably 1 teacher for every 10 students. Highly qualified faculty. Everythings is on time but the difficulty is pretty high especially with relative grading.

Class Size: 501Course Fees: INR 900000 per year

Internships Opportunities

4.5

Stipend by companies can go as high as 1.3 L per month to as low as 20 K per month. Some companies that come are WIPRO, EY, KPMG, Gartner, JPMC, Titan, ITC etc. Live Projects are available. There are a plethora of opportunities, you just have to grab them.

Placement Experience

4.5

From the very 1st semester placements start for summer interns where you can get a PPO. A lot of companies come including Gartner, J P Morgan and chase, ITC, Deloitte, EY etc. The highest package is 26 LPA and the Average is 12 LPA. 100% placement for internship and final placement. Plans for a corporate job.

Fees and Financial Aid

The cost to study is pretty high, bank loans are easily available. Scholarships for people scoring more than 95 percentile in CAT or people having less than 10LPA. Generally, jobs are good with a lower cap of 9 LPA and internships are generally paid.

Campus Life

4.5

The annual fest is Atharva and Tech fest is Disha. A large variety of books and ebooks are available in the library. Classrooms are fully equipped with the latest tech. All sports are available and extracurricular activities with a dedication to the committee. All committees and clubs are run by students.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Hostels are really good with smoke detectors and attached washrooms and study tables ( twin sharing ). meal quality is like every other mesh, hygienic but not very tasty. The registration process is easy and hostels are available but they are really expensive and mandatory as it is a residential program. We can not rent a room or PG.

Hostel Fee: INR 150000 per year

Interview Experience

We face all three topics of GD was is social media a new source of media. first, there is GD then the English proficiency test and then PI. none of them is an elimination round. Use your research skills on google and retrospect your achievements and practice.
