What Students Say

Likes

Faculty is very approachable and knowledgeable, unique way of teaching
Good facilities and infrastructure is provided
They encourage students to take lead, many opportunities provided. Personally liked the runway incubator and the campus merch store run by students

Dislikes

The tuition fees needs to be more affordable
Administration is not very helpful, proper communication should be given and students must be able to reach out to admins for any help
According to the fees paid, the return on investment is less

Course Curriculum Overview

I liked the curriculum and infrastructure. There is diversity in course and they prepare you for every aspect, especially witht he guest lectures. I have not attended any official classes yet, only foundational classes

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 1950000 per year

Internships Opportunities

I do not have any knowledge about this since I have not started my official classes yet. But according to reviews from my seniors. it is very difficult to get good internships with a stipend. So most students apply for off-campus internships

Placement Experience

The placement rate is around 90%. Students become eligible for campus placements from the start of 3rd semester, although you can get in earlier through summer internship and ppos. Overall average package is around 8 lakh. Top 15% students get 14-17 lakh. Highest package for this year was 33 lakh. Many top companies like Amazon, Adani, EY, PwC, KPMG, Accenture, Adobe, Microsoft, Infosys, BlueDart, Dell, Deloitte, Genpact and more come to the campus. I aim on getting into big 4 consulting firms.

Fees and Financial Aid

The total fees including course fees, caution money, hostel etc would amount up to 22lakh. But since I am not availing the hostel, for me it is around 19.5 lakh. My year-wise fees is around 10 lakh MBA Strategy and Consulting with KPMG and Business Analytics with KPMG are one of the sought after courses so they is on the pricier side. To my knowledge, MBA core tuition fees is around 15.5 to 16L and other specialisations like MBA Aviation, Power, Oil and Gas, IB fall in the 17L range. They do provide scholarships for merit (CAT score above 85, NMAT score above 200 and Graduation CGPA above 8) and other provisions like Uttrakhand domicile, faculty wards, sports scholarship

Campus Life

Till now my campus experience has been good. There are many events and festivals lined up. Library has good variety of books. Many sports and extracurriculars are encouraged. Professors also encourage us to join clubs and societies which are indeed very useful and hone our professional skills

Admission

I got offer letter from Shiv Nadar University and SOIL. I also got through NMIMS first round, missed the second one. Personally I still would have gone for UPES. Their approach is something I liked. And I also have a liking for the city. Hence I chose this.

Faculty

The faculty to student ratio is around 1:30 considering number of staff and students across all streams. Most faculty I have come across in my foundation classes till now are very approachable and knowledgeable. Few are a bit intimidating, but they only test you infront of the class because they want you to my prompt and prepare for the professional life. The course curriculum is good

Interview Experience

We had to submit our entrance exam scores, you can enter through college entrance test too. And then you must give a personal interview. They asked about general knowledge and current affairs as well as some questions about our background and future plans. Since I had already experienced a few interviews I prepared accordingly

Night Life

Not much of a nightlife but there are okay enough facilities available in and aorund the campus ro explore. You must travel a bit into the city to enjoy. Although I have not felt the city was unsafe ti explore at night

I came to RIT Roorkee from Bihar for my MBA and I want to write this review specifically for students from Bihar and UP

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.

Strategic positioning gives a good learning environment. Quality of leadership is what shows the future trajectory of the organisation. Prof. Rahul Nainwal, Director, School of Business is one personality who is effectively reviewing and keeping the courses up to industry standards. I don't see how the college is doing today. I predicted what this college would be when I graduate. And this stands out from all the other options I had at the moment....Read More
