IIM Amritsar: A Beacon of Excellence in Management Education

I choose the MBA program as it is the flagship offering of the institute and as it is a general program, it will give me far more domain choices to begin my career. The faculty: student ratio is great, we currently have 29 full-time faculty members, along with several visiting faculties who teach us various courses. All the full-time faculty members have PhD from top IIMs/IITs or top ranked institutes abroad.The teaching method depends upon the subject, some are entirely case based. Each term is approximately two and a half month long, with mid term exams after 5 weeks from the beginning of the term and end-term exams at end. The difficulty level on an average is moderate and almost 98% students clear the course.

The minimum CAT score required for General Category students was 85%ile to be eligible for the interview call. Based on several other factors such as past academic performance, gender diversity, and CAT percentile an interview shortlist is prepared which is released around the 2nd to 3rd week of January in the admission year. The fee to accept the interview offer was INR 1000 in 2022, the application form is sent to the eligible students by the institute in the email id they have provided in the CAT form. The admission process is quite transparent and I don't see a reason to change it.
