The IRMAn experience

Likes

The curriculum in itself is very different wherein there is a perfect blend of General Management subjects as well as Rural Management subjects as an add on since it is our domain. Subjects like rural society and polity were very enlightening in all.
The 3 day Induction Fieldwork Segment wherein the students are taken to Village in the 3 days of initial week was a very challenging and new experience wherein we were send to different rural parts of Gujarat and it gave a gist of challenges ahead.

Dislikes

The Summer internship placement though it was taken up well by placement committee it being in a time when usually companies have already filled in their internship spots is a disadvantage since we lose the opportunity of going to renowned companies.
As mentioned above the same happens during Final placements also and hence the number of spots offered by many reputed companies fall short thereby lack of opportunities though we have the capabilities to crack interviews for those it's disheartening
The batch strength keeps on increasing year after year with the upcoming batch at a strength of around 312 but the infrastructure facilities are not enough to occupy this huge strength and though actions are taken from administration nothing is fulfi

Internships Opportunities:

The major companies that offered internship were Godrej, ITC , Piramal , Tata Steel , LDC , Wheelocity, Amul , NDDB , NPCI, Kaleidofin, Sea6, . The projects ranged from marketing to finance to operations to development sector projects. There were internship offers from Banas Diary , EY Grant thorton Baif Baer Groupobimbo, Basix , Vedanta , AgriVijay, Agronxt and many other agribased companies. The stipends ranged from 10000 offered by companies like Milkymist and Bigbasket to 100000- 150000 offered by Tata steels Abis etc. There were offers by Elastic run @75000 all this for one month so in actual double the amount. The stipends from diary cooperatives were around 20000-35000. The Development sector like Jal Nigam and all also offered around 65000 per month stipend and also some other Maharashtra based NGOs offered around 45000- 50000 per month. The whole offer is given in PF provided by placement cell having stipend, role and project titles so that it becomes easy for participants .

The faculty are renowned in their particular fields and give practical examples from their experience along with theoretical knowledge. The faculty have some of the best research publications, some of them have developed schemes along witg the gov.
It has one of the most beautiful campus in the country.

Dislikes

The course starts with a hectic schedule and it's difficult for some students to cope up with it.
Due to the village Fieldwprk Segment everything is delayed as compared to other b schools. By the time they finish their summer internship we join for it so there is less scope for networking and peer to peer learning with other students
The academic is strict and all the aspect like attendence, exams are taken seriously. No unethical practices are tolerated.
