Is the batch size at IIM Indore a cause of concern for prospective students?
One of my friends recently graduated from IIM Indore and according to him, if you are decent in your studies and among the top 70% of your batch, then there would not be any issue regarding the Batch size. Top 70% means you will have to be among the first 70% of students who got placed. Beyond that range, there would be little difficulty.
Bigger batch size has its own advantages and disadvantages. There might be more of a disadvantage while you are in the institute. But these things work out once the college gets over and you will definitely get a larger support base for your career from your peers.

Why students go for ies after mtech from iit Delhi?
Following the trend, many MTech from IIT Delhi students opt for IES after completing their post-graduation. The reasons why most students do so are listed below:
- Many branches for IIT Delhi MTech are laid back and require no sincere efforts. This attracts students who have other future goals and use IIT Delhi as a stepping stone
- The facilities are good and students are given accommodation and even paid a stipend, which is more than enough for a comfortable survival for a few years
- IIT Delhi has many coaching institutes in close proximity thus students sometimes pursue their ulterior motives by preparing for other higher education.
- A major reason for this rising trend is the fall in the GATE level, making it easy for average students to get admission to MTech. The industries should also give importance to R&D so that people with serious career goals can get good jobs.
However, this trend is not justified as such students are not only wasting the money of citizens but also stealing the seat of a genuine aspirant who has to forgo their seat.
