What Students Say

Likes

The involvement in club/ committees/ cells work gives exposure to real life problems.
Mess food is way beyond good and healthy.
Sports committe is always active making the campus cheerfull.

Dislikes

We don't have an auditorium. We find it difficult to organize any activity.
Campus is situated far away from city, making it difficult to access the market.
Placement is affected due to location, as Kashipur doesn't have an airport.

Course Curriculum Overview

The analytics course in IIM Kashipur is quite well designed for the trending market. Now market is driven through data and Analytics course consists of some courses which teaches us how to utilise data for our benefit.

Class Size: 80Course Fees: INR 900000 per year

Internships Opportunities

2.5

We have a wide range of internship opportunities with the highest stipend of 1.5 Lakhs. Starting from September, the companies start to come for internships till February. Various roles are offered for the internship.

Placement Experience

2.5

The current market situation is down as compared to two years back. Our super seniors are placed in high-paying companies. But after that, the placement scenario dropped due to COVID. Currently average package is 15 Lakhs. Most of the company comes for the role of marketing.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure is 18 lakhs. Apart from this 20,000 mess fee for every semester. The scholarship is provided in the university on three grounds: Merit Basis, Need cum merit basis, and Need basis. The placement office provides an ample amount of live projects, through which a student can earn while doing the course.

Campus Life

Our campus is located between greeneries which gives us a catalyst environment to nurture ourselves. This is a student-run campus. Therefore involving in clubs/ committees/ cells gives exposure to practical learning as well. We have a good infrastructure providing us with all the basic amenities.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

We have a residential campus and our hostel block is quite close to our academic block, say walking distance. In the first year we have got double sharing room allowing us to grow networks. We are provided with a Washing Machine, Oven, Water filter, Running hot water, Cooling Radiator, and all other basic facilities.

Hostel Fee: INR 20000 per year

Admission

First we have to give CAT exam which consists of three papers: Quantitive Aptitude, Logical Reasoning and Verbal ability. After clearing the cut off one needs to sit for PI round if the call comes from any IIM or CAP. Clearing the PI round, one is selected for the deserving IIM. CAT exam should be given a bit less weightage.

Interview Experience

Before COVID, there used to be Group discussions or extempore after clearing CAT paper, but in my time only Personal interview was conducted which consisted of 2 panellists. My interview went around general knowledge and work experience.

Likes

The campus environment is good and you get students from different places, so you get a chance to interact with people outside your home state.
Faculty support can be good, especially when you are regular with your studies and approach them when you need help.
For parents from Bihar, having accommodation within/around the campus can make the transition easier.

Dislikes

Hostel and college rules can feel strict for students who want a lot of freedom.
You will need to put in your own effort for coding, communication skills, internships and other career preparation. The college alone cannot guarantee a good career.
The environment is fairly structured, which can be helpful if you want to stay focused on your studies.

Placement Experience:

The placement opportunities at Roorkee Institute of Technology are quite diverse, with a dedicated Training and Placement Cell that supports students through resume building, mock interviews, career guidance and recruitment drives. According to the institute’s current placement information, the 2026 batch has recorded placements across different sectors, with an average package of around ₹8 LPA and the highest package of ₹22 LPA. The institute also lists recruiters such as Cognizant, Finastra, Sopra Steria, KPMG, EY and Voltas.

Holistic Review of MBA at IIM Kashipur

Likes

It's a student run campus which means that important decisions regarding students are taken by the student bodies.
The campus is beautiful and lush. The architecture of buildings are well though of made to keep buildings cool during summers and hot during winters.
The campus is very happening. Several cultural events occur.

Dislikes

As the town Kashipur is not very developed, there is not much of metro-city life or such amenities
The boys to girls ratio for core program is 4:1 and the opposite for the analytics program which makes the class interactions disproportionate, It should be uniform.
You can't order food from online platforms here as the city is remote so one has to resort to the options present on campus which turns out to be pretty limited in number and quality.

Placement Experience:

As soon as the second year starts, companies start coming for placements. These include ICICI bank, Wellsfargo, Genpact, Amazon, TresVista, Havells, TVS, Tech Mahindra etc. The highest package goes around to be 40-50 Lacs while average is around 14-15 Lacs. Almost all get placed while the rest opt-out from the process either for off-campus offers or pursuing higher education.

I made it all the CAP colleges that come after the rankings of IIM Kashipur and also MDI Gurgaon HRM course. I chose IIM Kashipur because I had researched and found that the administration, gender ratio and placements were better than the rest. I did not choose MDI-HRM as I did not want to restrict the course composition of my MBA to Human Resources.

The IIM of the North

I found the admission process easier (Level Medium on Difficulty scale). The process started with the CAT application form, then the CAT exam, followed by a call letter for an Interview and then the selection email. The Interview was mostly about my experience and scenario-based questions like how would you do in a particular situation, etc. The Main aspect of the admission process that I didn't like was at the beginning there needed to be more clarity on how the process would go on, what kind of questions would be asked, and mainly the timeline of the events(i.e. Interviews and the various mails)....Read More

Real college experience

To get into IIM you need to take a CAT entrance exam. The minimum required percentage is 80% for the ST, SC, and 99% and above for the General category. The application form is available on the internet from September to October and the exam is held at the end of November. The application fees for ST, SC, and OBC categories are 1000/- and that of the general category is more than 2000/-. For the reservation category, there are benefits of a little lesser application fee and a lower percentage required to enter a college but the seats are limited for them. The exam is mostly held on Sundays, and timings are also convenient as it has 3 shifts of 7-10 am, 11-2 pm, and 3-6 pm. If study hard and work on the core subjects that come in exam can ace the exam. The duration of getting the results and then for interviews has a long gap, which needs to be shortened....Read More
