Are the girls living in the campus hostel of IIM Ahmadabad or IIM Indore allowed to go out of campus? If yes, till when and what are the procedures?
At IIM Ahmedabad, there are no restrictions on hostel timings, clothing, or entry of the opposite gender. Without any restrictions, all students are free to leave and return to campus whenever they want.
There are no restrictions on what students can wear anywhere on campus, including in class. The only exception to this rule is that students should dress formally for company presentations.
Students have complete freedom to visit the other gender's hostels whenever they want. Many of my friends had, for all practical purposes, shifted to their girlfriends' hostel rooms and were rarely seen in their own hostels. IIM Ahmedabad gives its students a lot of freedom and believes in the spirit of personal responsibility.
All IIM Indore students, including female students, are permitted to leave campus. There are campus buses that leave at regular intervals. One can also book their own transportation. The only restriction is that everyone must return by 11:30 pm unless there is a valid reason to be outside, such as a late-night flight.
Should I join IIM Indore's one-year MBA course (EPGP) or continue working, given the bad placement scenario for the course? Or should I try for better colleges in India?
The placement opportunities for an Executive MBA at IIM Indore or In fact any other IIM are very limited. They depend on the batch itself and may be good or bad depending on the current batch profile and expectations. Moreover, people don’t pursue EMBA to get placed in a high salary package. They already have a job with a high package. What they are looking for is an enhancement of their managerial skills and the IIM tag.
So I will not recommend you leave your high-paying job and pursue EMBA especially if you are looking for a better CTC. Not even other B Schools will get you a high package right off the bat. But if you are still adamant about pursuing the program you may take a study leave I suggest.
An MBA helps you in the long run and not instantly. You should be willing to take the risk for maximum results.
Are vehicles allowed in IIM Rohtak and Indore for IPM students?
IIM Rohtak is a green campus that prioritises environmental safety, and students are not permitted to use vehicles on campus.
During COVID times, IIM Indore restricted the ability of IPM students to commute or even bring vehicles to the campus. Cycles may be permitted depending on the college, but they are currently uncommon at IIM Rohtak.
How do I get admission in IIM Indore?
The first step to get into IIM Indore for your PGP is to clear the CAT exam. As there’s already plenty of information online on how to clear the exam, I’ll be moving forward to the next steps.
Once you get a call from IIM Indore, the next step is GD and PI. The GD round is all about speaking. But do not make the mistake of speaking useless things. Instead, make just 2-3 points that are logical and that take the discussion forward. Else, come up with something creative to support your opinion. For example, my friend got the topic- “Advertising: Noise Attracts Attention”. As soon as the floor was open for discussion, he made a loud thud with his foot. This attracted everyone’s attention towards him. In response, he just said- “Hence proved, noise attracts attention.” He cleared the round because of his out of the box response.
The personal interview is mainly a test of your confidence. Read general knowledge material and prepare at least one subject of your interest in depth. You’ll be asked questions on them. If you do not know a certain answer, be honest about it. You can add humor to the conversions, but do not use inappropriate jokes. You must across as a sensible gentleman.
These are a few tips to ace the GD PI round, which will ultimately lead you towards becoming a student at IIM Indore.
Which is better MDI or IIFT or IIM Indore?
All three of the institutions, MDI, IIFT, and IIM Indore, are comparable, so admission shouldn't be based solely on the IIM moniker. Both IIFT and MDI have excellent lists of recruiters visiting campuses and smaller batch sizes. The IIFT is the best of the three if one is interested in trading or is fine working in general management roles in emerging economies. MDI is the best of the three for consulting-related jobs and a great campus life. Unfortunately, due to its enormous batch size, IIM Indore is no longer regarded as being in the same league as other old IIMs. At all three institutions, the faculty and teaching methods are comparable.
It would be MDI>IIFT>IIM I if you took into account things like placements, faculty, brand value, campus life, and location.
Between IIM Indore and IIM Lucknow, which is best? Which one should I choose for finance?
For Finance, IIM Lucknow will be better. It is older than IIM Indore and offers better career outcomes in the Finance domain.
Reputed consulting companies, Investment banks, and big banks visit IIM Lucknow placements frequently. The job roles offered are similar to that of IIM ABC. During the 2022 placement drive, the average CTC offered in the finance domain was INR 53.34 LPA and the mean salary was INR 32.21 LPA.
IIM Lucknow has more diversified class profile. There’s a good number of Economics majors and CAs in each batch.
What are the fees for IPM IIM Indore, including hostel stay charges and food?
I think I can give you an estimate of the fee as one of my close friends is an alumnus of IIM Indore. The total expenses you would have to bear for a course period of three years is about INR 12,00,000.
In contrast, the tentative expenses for the 4th and 5th-year is around INR 13,00,000. Currently. For the 4th and 5th year, mess facilities are optional depending upon whether or not you want to use them.
Which one should I choose after 12th: IIM Indore IPM or Hansraj College, Delhi University?
IPM is a complex and challenging course. It is an amalgamation of various subjects such as Maths, Economics, Sociology, etc. The workload will be immense. You will have to work hard to keep up with the coursework. But you will learn to look at things from multiple perspectives.
IPM at IIM Indore also has a good placement record. In the placement drive that was conducted in 2021 virtually due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a placement percentage of 100% has been recorded. The average package offered to the students was INR 23.60 LPA which is higher than the package offered in 2020. In addition to these, the average package offered to the top 100 students was INR 33 LPA. The highest domestic salary offered was INR 41.50 LPA and the international salary was INR 56.80 LPA.
DU offers some leniency. You can miss a couple of classes and will be able to self-study. In the case of Hansraj College, the percentage of placement was 70% in their recent placement drive. The highest package recorded was 20.5 LPA and the average package was INR 5.7 LPA. The top companies were Boston Consulting Group, United Airlines, DE Shaw, etc.
