What is the written composition in the process of getting selected in IPM IIM Indore?

DT
Darryl Thomas Posted On : June 26th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Indore

The IPM (Integrated Programme in Management) selection process for IIM Indore includes a new component called the Written Aptitude Test (WAT). This component carries a weightage of 15% in the overall selection process.

The WAT tests candidates' English language skills and their ability to communicate. Language proficiency is vital, but it won't decide WAT's success.

It is important to ensure that whatever is written is grammatically correct as basic grammatical errors can harm the overall score. However, the focus should not be on using difficult or fancy English words. Instead, it is better to express oneself in the simplest way possible.

Candidates should avoid beating around the bush if they run out of ideas as this would result in negative points. It is recommended to pause and relate to the topic as this would help to develop better ideas to support the point of view.

Lastly, it is important to stick to the word limit provided for the WAT. The candidate should ensure that they do not exceed the word limit as this could lead to negative marking.

WAT component of the IPM selection process is designed to evaluate the candidate's ability to communicate effectively and not just their proficiency in the English language. Candidates should focus on expressing themselves in a clear and concise manner, avoiding basic grammatical errors, and sticking to the word limit provided.

How is the IPM program of IIM Indore? Should I take admission in IPM?

AM

Studies at Indian Institute of Management Indore

IPM program is a really good option for students after school. If you convert it, you should then definitely join IIM Indore. The IPM program's goodness is explained in the following points.

  • IPM has a diverse and vast curriculum. You'll get to learn things that will not only help you in school but also make you a better person. Maths, statistics, and economics are the most important topics, and they are taught in depth every term. Aside from that, it offers classes in everything from computer languages to performing arts and foreign languages as electives.
  • It lets you study at an IIM right after you finish 12th grade. No matter how much people say that your talent and passion are more important than the college you went to, an IIM tag is still.
  • Even though the course is hard academically, there are a lot of extracurricular and co-curricular things to try. The only undergrad party that any IIM puts on is run by IPM students"Atharv". The IPM group also puts on a sports festival once a year. Aside from that, we have regular debates, quizzes, writing competitions, and fun events that make sure we don't miss out on the best parts of college life.
  • When it comes to sports, IPMers have been very busy. There are a lot of events for both boys and girls that happen often. The school has great sports facilities, such as a swimming pool the size of an Olympic pool, well-kept tennis, badminton, basketball, and cricket stadiums, to name a few.
  • After the first three years, the IPM Batch and the new PGP Batch are put together. After that, all of the classes and placements are taken care of by a group. So, you get to go into the business and compete with people who went to IITs and NITs.

I got selected for admission in the IPM programme by the IIM Indore. How is the programme beneficial for us, as compared to the CAT students?

FR
Falguni Roy Posted On : August 28th, 2021
Studied at the Indian Institute of Management Indore

In the last two years of IPM students get the same opportunity as compared to the CAT students.

IPM encompasses a range of subjects spanning the disciplines of Science, Humanities, and Commerce. It's a hand-picked mix of some of the most useful subjects in these disciplines which will ultimately shape you into being a good manager.

The course also includes subjects on physical training and mental agility. It is a well-rounded course with a lot of depth vis-a-vis a routine MBA.

As far as the placements are concerned, many top-notch companies don’t allow IPM students to apply. Most of the IPM students join start-ups.

In the coming years, companies will be more inclusive during placements. This can be validated by comparing the placement of IPM students in successive years.

Preparing for the IIM Indore IPM interview requires some important considerations. The interview generally includes three types of questions - general knowledge questions, questions related to academics, and questions based on a candidate's interest. It is recommended that candidates keep themselves updated with current affairs, and have a good understanding of their past academic achievements.

The duration of the interview ranges from 20-35 minutes, and the evaluation criteria generally include a candidate's ability to communicate fluently, ability to make logical arguments, confidence, and overall attitude.

How many waitlisted candidates clear on an average in IPM IIM Indore in General and OBC Categories?

SN
Swarnava Naskar Posted On : January 5th, 2023
Lives in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India

Around 80 waitlisted candidates manage to clear on average in IPM IIM Indore. The main reason is that most students consider IPM as another option like engineering. The course is good and not exaggerated. 

The curriculum has been updated to remove the courses that were of little importance and focus more on core subjects like Maths, Statistics, and Economics. The IPM program is a relatively new course but has witnessed great improvements in the past few years. Nothing is stopping it from climbing the ladder higher.

Is Integrated programme of management of IIM Bodh Gaya worth it?

MB
Mrinmoyee Das Biswas Posted On : January 21st, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Bodh Gaya (Graduated 2022)

Whether a course is suitable for a person depends solely on what he wants from the course and his priorities. You cannot generalize a course's value. Yet, in my opinion, it’s a course worth doing for everyone. Some points that speak in favor of this program are 

  • Unlike the general misconception of IPM being lower in terms of degree, the IPM program at IIM Bodh Gaya offers dual degrees to its students (B.A (Foundations in Management) and a normal MBA). 
  • Despite being a new IIM, it has carried the legacy of IIM and has proven its worth through its fast-paced growth and 100% placement percentage.
  • IIM Bodh Gaya maintains strong international relations with world-class educational institutes like SolBridge International School of Business in South Korea and Montpellier Business School in France through its elite student exchange program
  • Its location is one of the reasons many students choose it over other new IIMs. It’s located just 7 km away from the Gaya airport at a Buddhist tourist spot.

So IIM Bodh Gaya in general and its IPM program especially is worth taking.

Would people recommend Alliance University for a BBA?

RS
Rashika Saraf Posted On : May 30th, 2021
B.Tech in Civil Engineering & Marketing, Hindustan University (2020)

A relative of mine is an alumnus of Alliance University and he is not sure about recommending the institute as a suitable option for academics. 

  • If you study in this institute it can give causes for uncertainty. There are a lot of options you can look for.
  • International business is offered as a major in MBA. But it fails to attract a sizable number of students to its campus. This goes for Alliance University in general as well. 
  • If your goal is to join a business school then this university should not be on your list. There are far better business schools in the country.
  • There is no entrepreneurship specialization either in Alliance University. 

Categories

BBA at Alliance University

Course Fee

6 lakh

Highest CTC

7.2 LPA

Average CTC

5-6 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Byju’s, Federal Bank, Amazon, Nestle, etc.

My cousin got trapped in the infrastructure of the university. The surroundings are not safe as the university is practically located in a village. The security staff is very ill-mannered.

Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) from IIM Indore (2020)

The life of a student pursuing IPM at IIM Indore can be very hectic. Over the years, IPM has evolved a lot and is attracting more and more students as the years go by.

It is a tiring course, however. There is a lot of diversity in the IPM course. It also has a Student Activity Council (SAC). Its function is to organize events for the students in various domains. It is also in charge of conducting other activities and festivals on the campus and also acts as a bridge between IPM and IIM Indore.

This council has four committees, three clubs, 12 special interest groups, and the main teams of the national-level festivals of IPM.

The three clubs of IPM are as follows. 

  • IPM Activity Club: This club is in charge of organizing various activities for the students and also provides opportunities for honing their co-curricular skills. This club also aims to improve the social life of the students. It also takes steps to organize trips for the students and organizing well-earned breaks for them.
  • IPM Entrepreneurship Cell: IPM tries its best to promote entrepreneurship by facilitating a channel of resources of value. The E-cell offers opportunities for live projects and internships to enhance their experience and have an in-depth knowledge of the industry. 
  • IPM Social Club: The social club of IPM called ‘AASHA’ strives to educate and provide opportunities to members of IIM Indore to give to society. In the last few years, this cell has conducted blood donation camps, workshops, evening schools, and other social service events.

The hostels are allotted to the students of IPM as per what year they are in for the first three years. The rooms are well-furnished with a television area, and indoor games like badminton and tennis. There is wifi too.
