Ravi Sen's Review On Goa Institute Of Management - [GIM], North Goa

The main factor was that GIM has stunning educational plans and since am keen on marketing so it was an easy decision that the school was on my wishlist. Moreover, GIM is viewed as outstanding among other B schools because of its instructional method and nature of its first-rate educators, it also has a decent and solid graduated class which helps in future opportunities. Additionally, work profiles coming to campus are very much intriguing and a plethora of organizations come to enroll taking all things together for various specializations.

The course remains as before all first-year students 3 terms per year and the aim is to furnish with fundamental data in regards to all issues. The students get their decision to pick their subject which is of their choice in term 4 which is the beginning of the second year. List of all the combinations of majors and minors are known beforehand. Besides college organize an event wherein they get to know all the combinations from the seniors. Also if we get more than 40 students for any of the electives then that subject will be enrolled.

Due to the covid pandemic many SIP didnt get any stipend. Although some even got 50K +. But the fact that it wasn't deferred. Some regular companies do come in GIM courtesy to strong alum. But even after that many people converted their SIPs to PPOs or PPIs which is always amazing news. Overall we get the immense opportunity and can get internships from outside as well.

Despite pandemic Placements have been phenomenal mostly people have got 10+ and some may have 8-9 as well. But placecomm has done an amazing job. 200+ are already placed and the remaining 25-30 will get placed in the next 2-3 months. The highest package is 17 LPA

The expenses in GIM would reach 20 l, 17-18 lakhs for fees and 2 lakhs for mess fees. It appears to be very costly for outsiders yet this is the same for all level 2 B schools across PAN India. The fees were not reduced in the pandemic scenario as well. The only good thing is for all the terms we were not on campus we were not allowed to pay the mess fees else nothing changed in the fees structure. Fees are expected to increase for the coming batch, it was the first and only time the fees remained constant. There are several scholarship opportunities in GIM, one must need to regularly check the website as well as keep a check with seniors and professors for availing of the opportunity.

Campus life is one a student can never forget. Together with studies, campus fun, events regularly, and whatnot. You are missing a lot if you arent on campus or have never been to hostel life. You can have countless memories to cherish and in the process, you will find some amazing friends. So many events keep on happening that you simply can't miss. Even for sports lovers so many things to look for. College has 24*7 gyms, 24*7 library and all the facilities are top-notch. Above all, you are in GOA

The hostel is compulsory and I dont think anyone is allowed to stay outside the campus. All the rules and regulations are made aware by SAC ie Student Advisory Council. Hostel Warden Committee is also very helpful. The meal is decent they do provide 4 times a day and in the second year, most people cook their own food in the hostel. Food is good but ultimately mess food so please dont have high expectations but yes it is way better than other colleges. Also, you have a plethora of options to choose from so food won't be an issue

Offline schedule, no option of online. I believe online came to this term only prior to this there was no scope for online. All the applicants must regularly check GIM Website as significant news is being streaked in there. Once applicants are selected they need to undergo Group Discussion followed by a Personal Interview. This process can happen in an interview center or in Goa Campus itself. Applicants are free to choose from it with no compulsion as such. The entire process is fun and we get the opportunity to learn a lot. GD topic was Impact of Smart Cities in India which took place for 15 mins followed by one on one interview totally based on Resume.
