Remarks
I had always wanted to get my postgraduate degree from one of the IIMs, therefore I chose the IIM. The NIRF awarded IIM Indore 10th position in the year of my admission. I applied for the program after I registered for the CAT exam. I had not paid any more fees in addition to the application price. There were generally three steps covered at the time of my admittance. They examined my CAT score, which was also specified as a minimum eligibility condition, in the first stage. I was shortlisted for the written ability test (WAT) and the personal interview at the following round (PI). The final composite score of all candidates was taken into account in the final selection phase.
Course Curriculum Overview
In this two-year full-time degree, we had both core and optional classes. Finance, marketing, operational management, strategic management, economics, and other topics were covered in depth in the core courses. International Finance, Modern Econometrics, Economics of Strategic Interactions, Macroeconomics for Developing Economies, and other topics were part of my elective paper. Practical abilities such as business communication, critical thinking, spreadsheet modeling, design-thinking, and leadership were developed through the skill development classes.
