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.
Which program is better, PGP HRM at IIM Indore or PGPM at IIM Sambalpur?
A specific program at one IIM cannot be compared to a general program at another IIM.
In any case, you shouldn't think about enrolling in a course at IIM Sambalpur. It is too recent and has no prior performance. Additionally, given its location, it won't even draw in top faculty. Instead of IIM Sambalpur, you would be much better off attending some high-quality non-IIM colleges.
The best institute for HR professionals is currently XLRI, followed by TISS, Mumbai. Considering that IIMI is one of the top IIMs and has a brand-new HR program, your learning and employment prospects are both promising. However, make sure you enjoy HR. It is practically impossible to later switch out of HR once you are in it.
Which executive MBA course is better between IIM Indore's EPGP and IIM Lucknow's IPMX?
Compared to IIM Lucknow’s IPMX, IIM Indore’s EPGP will be a better option.
Small Cohort Size:
IIM Indore has a small cohort size. So, the professor-to-student ratio is higher.
Location:
IIM Indore IPMX program takes place on the Noida campus. The environment on campus is ideal for studies and it also has the advantage of being close to the industries in the Delhi NCR region.
Placement:
IIM Indore Executive MBA placements 2022 had witnessed an all-time high average placement package. The average CTC for the top 25% of the EPGP students was INR 35.5 LPA. While the top 50% of students received an average CTC of INR 30.6 LPA.
Batch Size:
IIM Indore 2021 EPGP batch had 68 students. Students had work experiences in the range of 5-15 years. The students crowd is diverse and there is huge potential for peer learning.

How much time is needed to prepare for the IIM Indore entrance exam, i.e., IPM?
There is no need to prepare for IPMAT separately if you have studied Maths up to class 12. Just revise all concepts and formulas time and again. If you are worried about English, it should be pretty easy for you considering you read and write in it regularly.
You should be disciplined and have a plan of action. You will be able to complete the entire syllabus required for the exam within 30 to 40 days.
After that, think of focusing your attention on topics that are essential for students. For example, my sister was not fluent in her language skills and she was not on the same level as her peers. For this, she spent extra time working on developing those skills. She completed her language section and devoted the rest of her time to mathematics and solving sums.
You should definitely look at time management and seeing where you lack. Being a student from a mathematics background, you will not need private classes or even tutoring. Prepare well and in advance to go back and work on your weaknesses.
Being a non-maths student, would I be able to cope with an IPM at IIM, Indore?
One of my cousins is a part of the institute, and since he belongs from a non-maths background, he was able to elaborate on the situation. Here is what he had to say.
The journey can undeniably be difficult for non-Math students but it is not impossible. There are other students, alongside my cousin, who is in the same situation but are still managing to do good as other students with a Maths background. They are securing more than average in most quantitative subjects.
You will need to put in extra effort to do well in quantitative subjects. But you can as well as any student from a Math background if you are willing to work hard.
Thus, it depends upon how you choose to prepare and strategize.
Is IIM Indore on a decline?
IIM Indore had a few temporary setbacks, but it’s in no way on a decline in terms of the rigor of its PGP program. In past, IIM Indore used to be compared with IIM Lucknow, which is not the case anymore. The institute is in a developing phase due to some of the changes that were implemented by the administration. These changes include the IPM program and the Mumbai campus.
IIM Indore IPM program started with the intention to take in fresh minds, right out of school, and build management skills during a period of 5 years. This program was intended to make the journey to MBA less condensed and more meaningful. However, to cut down the fees, IIM Indore combined this course with the PGP program during the last two years. This affected the differentiation, the 5-year IPM program intended to have. As a result of this combination of courses, IPM students get more or less the same education as PGP. They also face more challenges in the industry due to their lack of work experience and a prestigious undergraduate degree. IPM students get an IGNOU degree after completing 3 years of their course. IIM Indore PGP program also suffered, due to the increased batch size. But IIM Indore IPM program is still in the nascent stage and despite the setbacks, it has shown great promise.
After the IPM program started, IIM Indore decided to establish a campus in Mumbai. The intention was to cater to working professionals who want to do part-time MBAs based out of Mumbai. The location was strategically chosen to attract reputed guest lecturers from the corporate epicenter of India. This decision didn’t yield the desired result. Since many Ivy schools like Harvard already run executive MBA classes from Mumbai.
Although these decisions were made with good intentions, they resulted in setbacks rather than the desired acceleration in growth. IIM Indore has been raked below tier 2 B-Schools for the last couple of years as these decisions became taxing from the administrative and economic viewpoint. But these setbacks are temporary. Currently, these programs started to build up momentum, independent of the flagship program. You can definitely expect the institute to thrive in near future.
How IIM Indore is better than other IIMs?
After ABC LK, IIM Indore is ranked seventh among all IIMs in the NIRF India Rankings 2022. It is comparable to K, but because there are more seats, it can be challenging to get a good spot. However, achieving 100% placement is possible. You can anticipate a call at the 98+%ile if you have very good grades in both the 10th and 12th grades.
If not, not even at the 99%ile, can one receive a call from IIM Indore. The city is expanding quickly. It is one of the best cities in India for students because transportation is easily accessible.
Is there any bias against IPM students during placements in IIM Indore? Are they considered equal to PGP students?
Yes, there indeed is a certain level of bias that IPM students face during the placement process. But the reason is well justified. Being a newly established course, IPM lacks the certainty of success. The industries are only gradually developing their trust towards this course over the years. So the recruiters are still a bit hesitant in investing in an IPM student.
But if you look at the figures, you can see that the course has been gaining trust and climbing the ladder drastically over the past few years. Also, I don’t think it’s justifiable to draw a comparison between a 7-year-old program that has already been recognized (PGP) to a newly established course (IPM).
People usually compare these 2 programs because they see IPM as a means to join IIM by escaping CAT. This is not the case at all. IPM is much more than that. It needs no comparison to any other program. It is a full-fledged integrated course that is way ahead of other undergrad or integrated courses across the nation both in terms of the kind of education it offers and the placements.
Which is the better, college SIBM Pune or IIM Indore?
Among these, IIM Indore is the better option. Being an IIM it offers better facilities and placements. IIM Indore placements 2022 placements ended with an average CTC of INR 25.01 LPA. The highest CTC offered this year was INR 70 LPA.
IIM Indore offers excellent academics, and the faculties of the institute are best in the field. The IIM brand name certainly offers some perks in terms of getting placements, projects, and interships.
