Is it compulsory for IIM Indore IPM students to stay at an IIM hostel?

SD
Shruti Das Posted On : January 23rd, 2024
Studied at Indian Institute of Management, Indore, (2020)

IPM is a residential program, which means it is compulsory to stay at the IIM Indore hostels while pursuing this course. 

A number of assignments and group activities will be given to you in the duration of this course, and as a hostel resident, it will be easier for you to stay back for late hours in the college. The hostels for IPM students have all the necessary facilities, even though you’ll be sharing your room with another person for the first three years.

You’ll enjoy hostel life during your IPM at IIM Indore. This compulsory requirement has been put up by the authorities keeping the best interests of all students in mind.

Project Manager at OpenText (company) (2016–present)

Choosing a Data Science Program is a difficult task because the market is flooded with these courses. All of the programs are in collaboration with prestigious universities.

The program includes a fantastic combination of IIM Indore. That, however, is no longer a challenge. The best part about Jigsaw is that they always have a listening ear—they are eager to learn about the challenges of the students and are resolved with the same responsibility. Every issue will be addressed and resolved.

The course is good; the more time you spend on it, the more knowledge you will gain. you will never be crippled with content as Jigsaw is having a pretty decent quality of content and is very easy to follow.

All weekend classes will be recorded and made available to you if you want to review the material. The course will walk you through the statistical methodologies and tools used by data scientists for data analysis and modeling.

You have both graded and non-graded assignments. Non-graded for practice and graded for completion of the course. The more you practice, the more confident you will become. You will complete a mini capstone and a capstone project to gain hands-on experience.

Does IIM Indore have a hard time getting everyone placed?

GR
Gargi Roy Posted On : August 26th, 2021
MBA, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (2018)

It’s not entirely true that IIM Indore has a hard time getting everyone placed. Yes, it does take longer to wrap up the placement as compared to other reputed B-Schools like SP Jain, NITIE, IIMK, etc. 

One of my friends recently graduated from IIM Indore and according to her, the final placements for 2020, took nearly 2 months to complete. While the other B-Schools wrapped up placements in 1 to 1.5 weeks. This delay in placement has nothing to do with the quality of education at the institute. It is due to the large batch size. 

But at IIM Indore almost every student gets placed in a decent job. It doesn't guarantee you that the job or the salary will satisfy you. You will have to work even harder and polish your skills more to secure your dream job.

Are coaching classes very necessary to get into ipm course at iim indore or is self-study the best option?

SS
Shruti Singh Posted On : August 24th, 2021
Studies MBA (HRM) at IIM Ahmedabad, 2021

The majority of coaching classes often confuse the real purpose and meaning set behind an IPM programme. Surprisingly enough, they mostly treat it as they do to a regular BBA+MBA programme, without actually recognising the difficulty level essentially associated with it. 

  • The difficulty level of IPMAT is several steps ahead of a general BBA examination. 
  • Coaching centres function by preparing aspirants for the upcoming CAT exam or a general management entrance coaching.
  • Rather than seeking advice from coaching centres, you can avail a specialized mentorship. Either from the students of the respective institute who have recently cleared the IPMAT exam, or choose visiting professors from the admission committee. 
  • If you think it is not possible, then seek guidance from the alumni network or the current students. 
  • Follow the previous year’s papers and understand the pattern of the questions. You can also seek help from the internet. 

Paying a bulky fee to coaching centers can oftentimes prove to be unnecessary. Your self-study, mostly combined with a vivid general knowledge, can suffice the needs of the exam.

Till what number on the waiting list gets cleared at IIM Indore?

NM
Nibir Mukherjee Posted On : August 20th, 2021
Studied at Integrated Program in Management, IIM Indore (2019)

Well, this is something that cannot be correctly predicted. No one can tell you the exact number till which the waiting list can get clear. If I can vaguely remember, last year the waiting list moved till 45, I am not sure though.

However, since the program is gaining more and more popularity with time, I am quite sure that this number will descend. If you are on the waiting list, I would suggest you keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best to happen.

Until what rank does the IPM IIM Indore merit list go for the general category?

SR
Sritama Rallabandi Posted On : August 24th, 2021
M.S. by Research from International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (2023)

This is something that will vary according to the year of admission. For any category, students up to a certain rank are decided according to the seats they have and are given provisional admission letters. 

Thereafter if any student among them does not accept the offer and any seat is left vacant then only the next ranked candidate is offered the seat.

In previous years in the general category, students till the rank of 58 were offered the provisional admission letters and all others beyond the rank were in the consideration pool in case some students did not accept the offer.

IIM Indore vs FMS. Which one should I choose?

HS
Harish Shah Posted On : January 11th, 2023
Mentee for Life | IIM Lucknow (2021) | B.Tech., DTU (2015)

FMS, without a doubt.
Do not compare FMS to IIM Indore just because it is an IIM; this is a mistake. The positions available at FMS are much better than those at IIM I. Furthermore, FMS completely dominates the field when it comes to the ideal batch size. A small batch size ensures that more candidates see the process of more companies without missing out on any opportunities, even though the roles are limited at all campuses.

  • IIM Indore's well-known alumni may be alluring, but roles are typically a better metric to use when assessing a university.

For instance, both institutes use Deloitte as a common recruiter. However, the position at FMS is in the area of strategy, whereas Indore receives an IT-related position. 

  • The ROI is the next significant matrix to evaluate.

Even though the current generation believes that ROI shouldn't be the most important factor to take into account, the combination of ROI and Location gives FMS an undeniable advantage over many other top campuses across the nation. As you advance year after year in the corporate world with new roles and switches, you get a better return after investing two years.

  • Campus Life is an additional factor to take into account.

It is the much-discussed factor used to rank campuses. It makes no sense at all to choose IIM I just for the sake of the on-campus experience.
