What is your opinion about IIM Indore's IPM programme?
Even though there have been many hyped and legitimate reasons to be skeptical, it is one of India's top undergraduate programs. Of course, an older IIT with a strong B Tech stream beats it, but that's it.
Your innocence and curiosity are killed by the Indian graduation system in class XII. IPM promotes and safeguards it. You are given the opportunity to ask questions, learn about different topics, and experiment with them so that you will be well-versed in all of their facets. Clearly, the PGP level is where thought consolidation takes place.
Students are incredibly intelligent, curious, daring, and innocent. Life teaches much more than any classroom ever could by living away from home and overcoming obstacles on your own. Because of this, the 200-acre campus' amazing and world-class facilities contribute to the overall experience and process of growing up.
