Remarks

It's a great place to study. A little far from the main city of Chennai but you get everything on the campus so it's OK. The food is also very good. Course is bit hectic but it's worth every penny.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Being a one year course, the curriculum is quite rigourous. There are total 7 terms, 3 with core subjects and 4 with elective subjects. Whatever you cover in first year of two year pgdm, you'll cover here in first 3 terms. The course is hectic, so you need to be mentally prepared. But it's worth it.

Internships Opportunities

No. Its a one year course and criteria for admission is minimum 2 years of work experience hence internships are not required as every one has worked before. For 2 year PGDM programme, 2 month internship is mandatory.

Placement Experience

4.5

For last batch, avg package was Rs 13.1 Lpa. Hopefully for the current batch it'll further go up as it did for previous batches. Placement report is available on the website. Majority of the companies come with a profile of consulting.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee for Chennai campus is Rs 19 lacs. Its more or less same in almost all colleges in this category. It's bit expensive but it's feasible as more or less you'll be spending the same money. Here you also get to save your one year.

Placement Experience:

In ISSM they are offering internship opportunities for students in 2 semester itself. And most of the companies are offering PPO (Pre Placement Offer) for the interns. Probably mid of 3 semster the students will placed as full time employee before complete their MBA degree. No college will give this kind of opportunities for the students.
