I hope you get into IIM Ahmedabad and answer this question yourself a few years from now. Because your answer will definitely be yes! IIM Ahmedabad was really worth it.

You might think I am saying this because of the high salary packages and excellent placements. But no. These factors are important but not in the long run. Obviously you will be offered more than expected salaries but do you think that is enough to satisfy you?

The most important thing you will learn at IIM Ahmedabad is the various opportunities you could have otherwise missed. The opportunity to give a chance to various conventional career options, the freedom to explore the uncharted career streams and the confidence to succeed or fail and stand up back again in them. All this is much more valuable than the stellar package you will be offered.

One additional advantage at IIM Ahmedabad is that you can defer your admission if you want to get experienced first. Also you can sit for placements later if you want to first work on your own startup. All these merits make IIM Ahmedabad worthwhile.

The reason why IIM Ahmedabad is everyone’s dream college is because of its exceptionally good placement opportunities.

My sister's friend reached out to the Guild Team for an internship in her 5th semester at IIM Ahmedabad. She wanted some experience in the field of venture capital. Luckily she got selected.

With no experience, she would be making a risky decision of opting out of the placement process. But she finally took the step and accepted Guild's offer. Today she has no regrets for the same and is well settled.

Even the ups and downs of the placements are controlled by the General Management and not the institute itself.
