What is the waitlist movement for IIM Indore for the General category in the past few years for the PGP programme?
The selection list of every top IIM is mutually exclusive. If you get shortlisted by any of the IIM, you have a 100% chance of changing it, the percentile in CAT wouldn't matter. The conversion depends upon how you perform in an interview and the assessment of it.
Over the years, the waitlist movement has been constant but not many get a call from these institutes and choose to do different things in their lives, but they also do not choose any other institute over it.
For IIM LKI, waitlist movement varies a lot due to the following reasons:
- The first might be the overlapping with ABC.
- The second could be the conversion of candidates to A or B but they might not have made it to the L/K/I.
- Third, only a few leave their seats to go for ABC in one attempt.
These factors sway each year and affect the WL movement. It is difficult for anyone to predict the waitlist for any of the IIMs.
Which one among IIM Lucknow (ABM), IIM Kozhikode, and IIM Indore should I choose? Why?
Among these IIM Lucknow PGP ABM is the best option. IIM Lucknow tag offers certain advantages. You will get access to many case studies, a diverse student pool, a huge alumni network, and an ecosystem that fosters learning and excellence.
For the first year, ABM students share classes with PGP students. The curriculum faculty and learning will be the same. For the second year, you can choose some extra subjects according to your interest along with your specializations.
IIM Lucknow offers good placement opportunities to PGP ABM students. Along with FMCG companies, most companies in Consulting, Marketing, Finance, Operations, and HR are open to ABM students. In recent years, IIM Lucknow ABM placements had an average CTC of INR 24-25 LPA.
How can one prepare for board exams as well as the IPM exam conducted by IIM Indore?
The preparation depends completely on you. Opting for coaching classes is not necessary to do well in your examination. I have friends who have cleared the exam without any coaching at all.
You should rather choose to invest your time in the upcoming board exams. It will not only help establish a strong foundation but will help you ace your personal interview. You should also focus on every subject, especially mathematics.
The reason why you should concentrate more on mathematics is that a reasonable amount of the aptitude test contains questions on mathematical ability. It needs more practice because the pattern of the questions cannot be determined. You must become compatible with the subject so as to get to the PI round.
Following your boards, you should start reading newspaper articles, to stay updated with current affairs. This will help you in the PI session. It will also enhance your English communication skills. You can fetch the sample papers of the same on the website of the institute.
Will there be double intake of IPM students at IIM Indore?
If the current scenario is accurate, the student intake of IPM will be doubled only if the IIM bill is passed. This move has already brought a downgrade in the image of IIM Indore. Doubling the intake of students will more than dampen the image of IIM Indore. This step will make it one of the worst business schools in the country.
The batch already has around 120 students so it may not be possible to be in charge of a bigger batch. It is difficult enough already.
There is also a lack of capable faculty given the fact for the first 3 years, you will be taught by guest faculty.
What the degree a student will get finally after completion of IPM (IIM Indore)? A combination of BBA from IGNOU and PGP from IIM I?
The IPM course is a five-year integrated course in management and after completion, you will be awarded an IPM diploma and not a degree. In order to do so, IGNOU was introduced to offer IPM students a degree.
IIM Indore has taken care of students needs who are willing to appear for further competitive examinations such as UPSC and others. Getting a degree will help them to apply for higher education.
In IGNOU, you can choose any subject as your graduation subject and many students even choose B.A or B.Com as their subject. If you wish to opt for 3 years, then you will have to give exams for IGNOU from where you will get your BA or B.Com degree. The students who complete their post-graduation get a PGDM and the students who opt for IPM get an IPM diploma.
Should I go for MDI Gurgaon or IIM Indore?
Determine what you want to learn in the two years you will spend at either of these colleges. Both colleges have very different offerings. Choose the one that provides you with more flexibility, a wider range of people to interact with and learn from, and opportunities to pursue your interests. These things will be more important in the long run because, after a few years, people will not judge you based on your alma mater, but vice versa.
Inquire about alumni interaction and entrepreneurship support. Even if you never want to be an entrepreneur, such networks can help you complete tasks that would otherwise take months. It is up to you to select the best college for yourself.
Should I join NITIE or IIM Indore?
You should join NITIE. Although it is mostly known for Supply Chain and Operations, it offers good opportunities in other industries as well. NITIE placements trends reveal that recruiters from FMCGs, BFSI, consulting sector, and IT/E-commerce also visit the campus placements. So, you will have better chances of landing a job in a leading company. According to the placements highlights of 2022, the average CTC for NITIE stood around INR 25 LPA.
IIM Indore has a huge batch size. While the batch size of NITIE is concise, students get the required attention from teachers. The location of NITIE is also favorable. Doing an MBA from Mumbai will definitely help you get good internship and placement opportunities.
How is the life of IPM IIM Indore students different from the life of students at IIT or NIT?
Because there are only 120 students, students will not be able to interact with students from different cultures, as opposed to engineering colleges, where there are 1000-2000 bachelor students, giving them the opportunity to interact with students from different cultures and organize a large number of events, cultural fests, sports events, concerts, and so on, thus enjoying college life. In terms of sports, IIM Indore offers the most options among all IIMs. Because the batch size is small, all students have the opportunity to contribute significantly to the fests and gain hands-on experience.
Cultural diversity is outstanding. If you want, you can learn a lot of languages in 5 years. Such a curriculum is not available anywhere else.
Should I attend MDI Gurgaon or IIM Indore?
Well, these two institutes cannot be positioned to compare with each other. However, the only benefit seen in the case of IIM Indore is that it will assist in accessing the alumni network of PAN India. This does not apply to MDI Gurgaon students. This is beneficial for the students who want to start their individual businesses and switch jobs to a higher profile in later days.
Rather, it is difficult enough to comments on the faculties, placements, and other facilities. Following is a brief overview of these two institutes considering the placement statistics.

It seems a bit difficult to get a call from IIM Indore at 81 percentile. But I am not sure and won't be able to make any comments till you don't provide more information like your past academics, undergraduate background, work experience, category, etc.
