Review for Indira Institute of Management, Pune.

The admission process is not very different from other B-schools. Firstly, a student has to give either CAT, MAT, etc. Scorecards of all these exams are accepted here. Then they shortlist from the percentile acquired by the students then they call all the students for Group discussion and Interview rounds. Then the total scores obtained by the students are calculated and a new merit list is prepared and the top 120 students are called to join the college. Application forms can be filled out either online or offline. Application form filling usually starts in January or February of every year. The admission process is overall smooth. And the whole admission process takes hardly 2-3 months.

I chose this course because this course is much more updated than the other equivalent courses. This course was offering other benefits as well, for example, all the students were given iPads for studies. In the classes, they were supposed to use those iPads. The other benefit is that they take students on international educational trips. Our batch was taken to Dubai. All the expenses were already included in the fees structure. The student-faculty ratio was also good. There are a good number of well-educated and knowledgeable professors. All the faculty members were minimum post-graduates. They used lots of different methods to teach us like visual methods, showed us movies related to our course, case studies, role-plays, etc. Exams were well set by the faculty staff. Exams were always on time and we never had any problem with the organization of the exams.

I did my internship at a VIP company. I was in the sales department. I performed all the sales-related services at the VIP store in Pune. I was paid 5,000 rupees per month for my internship period. I was given a target to sell 50,000 rupees worth of products, out of which I achieved 70% of the target.

The placement is high almost around is 95 %. The highest salary package offered is 12 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 3 LPA. Big companies like Deloitte, PwC, Capgemini, TCS, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, visit our campus for placements. The top role offered in our course is an area sales manager. I look forward to applying to a higher position after working for 1-2 years in my current company.

The course fees are reasonable. When I joined the college the fees for my course were 5 lakhs. I was always okay with the fees because they had given so much in return also. Their teaching methods are also always updated. International trips were also organized. Their placement has always been above 90%. I got placement from the college in Indusind Bank with 30,000 as my starting salary.

There are a lot of events that happen in the college. Inter-college fest as well as Intra-college fest. There is a library available with all the latest editions for the students to read and refer to for their notes. The classrooms have A/C, a projector for presentations and video display, whiteboards, etc. The college also takes good care of its students' health. They organize physical training classes and yoga classes for the students. There are clubs for students to become a member of and utilize their talents.

The topic for my group discussion was, "Is winning important in a game?" In the interview round, I was mostly asked about the city in which I live, about my family background, and why do I want to do PGDM? I gave the answer with confidence. The admission process was like any other B-school. First, the applications were shortlisted and then the group discussion and interview rounds took place. I prepared for these rounds by writing down a brief introduction about myself on a piece of paper and saying that out loud daily. And I read the newspaper daily so that if any current affair-related topic is given in the GD round or a current affair-related question is asked in the interview round then I will be well prepared.
