One of my friends joined IIM Lucknow and this answer will be based only on his experience and the advice he had received from his seniors. It may differ from now because his experience was 3 to 4 years ago.

Below are the pieces of advice that my friend’s batch received from their seniors:

Clothes:

• At least one business suit is a must-have. Girls can wear a saree instead but it is not usually seen. You will also need to pack business formals with you (full-sleeved-shirts and trousers for boys and similar for girls as well).
• You can wear anything that you would like to. However, it also depends on the professor in class and sometimes in the library. 
• Summers are scorching and winters, very cold. You will have to decide whether you bring clothes for all the seasons at once or visit home during the first term break before winter starts.

Stationery and Computing: 

• Notebooks, registers, and pens are available on campus. 
• A tiny part of students bring their own printers but, you can always create an account at the computer centre paying Rs 1000 and recharging at Rs 500 for printing purposes.
• It is better to buy laptops from anywhere you would like but not from the campus because the bulk deals on campus bring great laptops but provide minimal discounts. 
• There is no facility for personal Wi-Fi routers.

Documents: 

• Carry all the documents that you have got- records, mark sheets, certificates everything. 
• Summer placement will be round the corner, and since you may not have enough time to do anything at IIML, your previous documents will be really helpful.
• All the claims on your CV will be cross-verified. So, carrying supporting documents is equally important. 
• In case, you have lost the documents, an email from the responsible authority will do.

Hobbies and Entertainment: 

• There are many good cinema halls and eateries in the city for your entertainment purpose. 
• You definitely will be able to make time for your hobbies. 
• Different kinds of workshops are also held such as Salsa Lessons, Guitar lessons, French lessons, etc.

You will learn a lot from your seniors once you are at the campus. I hope you will come out better as a person.

There are several excellent courses to be chosen to take in IIM Lucknow. Here is a list of some of the preferred choices.

• Marketing-- Consumer Behaviour – Taken by Professor Dash.
  Professor Dash has his own eccentricities. Even after leaving that aside, just doing a proper pre-read and being attentive in the class, students can gain a tremendous amount of knowledge. It is heard that AMR is even better.
• Strategy—Strategic Alliances – Taken by Professor Amita Mittal.
  Professor Amita Mittal is patient, has her own wit, and explains each strategy concept carefully. She elaborates theory concepts with real-life examples, and this keeps her audience engaged to listen. She is known to deliver excellent pre-reads.
• Decision Science—Game Theory Application—taken by Yogesh Kumar Agarwal. He is very popular among students. 

These are some of the personal choices. There are several other professors who deliver excellent lectures and are equally reputed among students.

Both the institutes provide almost the same learning experience and are considered to be one of the best B-Schools to join in India. But IIM Lucknow has some advantages over IIM Indore.

• At IIM Lucknow students receive more consulting and finance based job roles. Companies like Citi, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Black Rock, Avendus, Arga Investments, Investec offer front end roles for the students. Additionally, there are many Corporate Finance roles offered by banks such as Yes, HDFC, ICICI, etc.

• As the batch size is smaller in IIM Lucknow which in turn makes the learning experience better as the faculty can interact with more students and clear any doubts that one may have.

• According to the NIRF Rankings 2020, IIML stands at 4th position while IIMI stands at 7th in India among the management institutes.

• IIM Lucknow has a strong research base compared to IIM Indore, which helps students to find opportunities to work in live projects and pursue their own research as well. IIM Lucknow has 117 published conference papers over the years while IIM Indore has 98 FPM theses. Both the institutes provide support for students to pursue new research.

• One other important factor is the alumni base. IIM Lucknow has a larger well-developed alumni network compared to IIM Indore which helps in the placements.

Instead of going with the conventional approach, let us approach this question differently. This will still be accurate and provide the correct assumptions and statistics as the question demands.

There are 20 IIMs in total and even if all of these institutions have been selecting students for their upcoming batch, the status quo is not more than one-third of the students of a batch of any IIM including IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore. This is because of factors such as a student’s attitude, previous work experience, and not because of any supply-demand constraints. It is also to be noted that none of the IIMs selects a candidate below 96%ile in CAT.

Out of the total students in a batch at IIM Lucknow, around 150 are fit for consulting roles. Similarly, 100 may be perfect for sales roles and not marketing or any finance roles. Now as we know that 150 students are available for consulting companies, all of these 150 students are made offers by consulting companies visiting the campus and none of the offers gets rejected.

If the richer Investment Banking companies visit the campus, the students will get divided by their preferences as to where to go. But, it was only in the 1990s when Nomura visited the campus of IIM Lucknow making an offer for its global business.

The list of consulting companies visiting IIM Lucknow is as follows: Bain, ATK, BCG, Accenture, McKinsey, Cognizant, HCL, KPMG, E&Y, etc.

A friend of mine recently got her duplicate mark sheets/transcripts issued from IIM Lucknow. There's a simple way which you can also follow and get single or multiple sets of transcripts as per your need and requirement. 

• First, you need to scan the same mark sheets for which you need transcripts and there are multiple ways of paying the charges which is INR 500/- per set which depends on how many sets of transcripts you want.

• You can simply make a DD in favor of “IIM Lucknow” which is payable at Lucknow only and can send it to ‘PGP Office, Indian Institute of Management, Prabandh Nagar, IIM Road, Lucknow-226 013’ along with the scanned copies of your grade sheets in sets.
• After receiving your application, the transcripts will be sent to you in separately sealed multiple envelopes arranged in sets on the same postal address mentioned by you (India Only). For any clarification or any additional information, you can simply contact the PGP office for the same.
• Don't forget to mention your postal address as the transcripts will be delivered to the same address.

In case you want to transfer the charges online then you can send it through NEFT on the band details as shown below:

For reference, you can also provide screenshots of transferred funds along with the date to help track your payment with ease.

On the basis of your CAT score, gender, academic, and work profile the institutes shortlist you and give out calls to attend their interview process. On the basis of your combined performance score in the interview and your overall profile, you’ll be granted admission.

IIM Lucknow:

IIM Lucknow has more weightage to the CAT scores in the shortlisting criteria for the interview process. After the interview, the following weightage is followed for the admission process of the institute. IIM Lucknow gives more weightage to the previous academics in the final selection thus is much important to a fresher.

IIM Indore:

IIM Indore gives the least importance to CAT score and considers academic scores heavily for shortlisting the students for interview calls. Students shortlisted for the interview process need to undertake an aptitude test, Written ability Test, and interview based on which the total composite score is calculated for the final selection.

There are no specific academic requirements as such to get into IIM Indore and IIM Lucknow. You need to have a minimum percentage of marks mentioned by institutes in your graduation program and can give CAT to apply for the colleges.
