Placement Experience
I am from the third batch a passed out in 2002 when the industry had tough times especially post Y2K issue and Sept 11, 2001 attacks in the US. However, we could still get over 65% of students placed with reputed banks, IT companies, Consumer product companies, biggies like Reliance Industries, etc.

The hostel rooms are nice and well ventilated with a lot of greenery across the institute, good places to go for walk and exercises, and several games facilities available. The campus boast of a beautiful administrative block built with grandeur or British architecture and once can have an experience of interacting with people from places outside India as well as Indians with different backgrounds.

Alumni/Alumna
Yes, on many fronts, especially summer placements and live projects. The students have got some intellectually challenging and fantastic projects from the industry through its respected alumni only.
Admission
I wanted to do management in my PG and MBA was a logical choice. Post doing my graduation in commerce, it was good to appear for MBA entrance exams and get shortlisted in the Department of Management Studies, IIT Roorkee. My reason to select this place was because of the quality of faculty, the visiting faculty coming from very reputed institutes such as IIFT, FMS, Delhi School of Economics, etc. Also, the set up was a part of the University of Roorkee, a prestigious engineering institute and an institute that offers a Degree and not a Diploma for MBA. Further, the infrastructure is by far amongst the best considering that the University got the status of IIT and additional funding for its development. Also, the place, Roorkee is well connected from Delhi and some other prominent cities of India through rail and road and also offers various opportunities for excursions to Mussorie, Hardwar, Rishikesh and various other places
Faculty
Fairly experienced in their respective domains with 95% of the faculty members being very well aware of their subject. The faculty members are reviewed periodically to assess the requirement of churn and bring in subject matter experts from various industries, institutions.
