Remarks

Enrolling at IIM Kolkata was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I decided to enroll in this program because of my growing interest in business and management. I took the CAT exam and scored 99.78 percentile. You must complete the CAT Registration form. After I was shortlisted for the admission process, we had to go through WAT. Due to the Covid situation, the process was conducted entirely online. We had an interview round after WAT. My interview was conducted by 3 members and focused on my previous work experience.

Course Curriculum Overview

I am doing a regular MBA. The MBA core curriculum focuses on developing essential skills and knowledge in economics, marketing, and sales as well as product management, Finance, and Organizational behavior. Faculty to student ratio is 1:20. With real-world problem-solving ad examples from various businesses, the teaching method is excellent. Regular tests and quizzes occur allowing students to focus on academics regularly. it is simple to pass if you focus properly on academics.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 2300000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee for 2 years regular MBA course is around 23 lakhs. Scholarships are available from the IIM C to deserving students. OP Jindal and Aditya Birla Group scholarship are 2 of them. IIM C has some of the best placements rates in the industry.

Likes

The professor is very friendly and helpful. Infrastructure here is very good with wifi and smart boards.

They help you to creat team bonding by organize, events like startup challenges and many more.

Dislikes

Placement for digital marketing and BADS here is very poor . Other deperment has good placement . The placement is good only for Marketing then followed by finances.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose the course only because of our HOD, but after completing my course, he left the course. He has helped us with all the things like web development and seo skills. By doing it practically for every student, he offers a domain for every student. I had difficulty with Google Ads & meta ads because it was taught by another faculty. The exam times were different by 3 months.

Happy student

Remarks:

overall, my journey here was amazing and I am enjoying here. although I got placed but the faculty members are still available to foster me with good understanding. Along with this the facilities like canteen where the food is good and tasty and the international tours organised by the college authority helped me to gain insight into the internationally well structured plan.

IIMC college review

Enrolling at IIM Kolkata was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I enrolled in an MBA at IIM Kolkata due to my strong interest in the subject. My growing interest in business and management prompted me to apply for this programme, which I intended to complete entirely at IIM Kolkata. I had to submit my CAT score as well as my undergraduate, 12th, and 10th-grade mark sheets when I applied. My undergraduate, 12th, and 10th-grade diplomas were only used to evaluate my academic abilities. After clearing cutoff I had to go through an interview and it was a good overall experience....Read More
