Remarks
The college management is decent and barring a few rules like no drinking inside campus and no entry after 11:30 pm, the students are mostly satisfied with the management. The sports complex is awesome and has all the modern equipment and facilities such
Entrance Preview
CAT in 2009. Was the 1st online CAT. Scored 98. 50%. Process included psychometric test (15 mins) and personal interview (20 mins).
Course Curriculum Overview
Course curriculum is nicely designed and subject to any modifications recommended by previous batches. So, it is not a freezed one as is common among central universities. One of the benefits of being an autonomous institute. Faculties have very good knowledge and attitude towards teaching and guides for new ideas.
Internships Opportunities
Internship season (summers as we call it) was good and saw many companies (Deloitte, Deutsche Bank, etc. ) fighting to grab the zero-day spot to grab the best minds. Stipend ranged from 5000 to 80000 per month depending on the company and the job requirements.
Placement Experience
Placement season was interesting and was divided into 2 parts. First part was mainly for experienced people (more than 2 yrs work ex) and other was for freshers or up to 2 years of experience. High profile companies like BCG, HUL, Nestle, Deutsche Bank, American Express, etc visitied the campus. IT companies were the maximum in terms of numbers as well as recruitment. Even the banker's bank, RBI, visited and created a huge competition among the candidates. The average salary was around 11. 8 LPA and max. domestic salary went up to 32 LPA.
College Events
I was a full time member of cultural committee at IIM Indore for both the years. We celebrated Diwali, Holi, Durga Puja, Ganpati Puja, Christmas, Onam, Pongal, Lohri and many other festivals very enthusiastically. For management festivals, the major one is 'Ahvan' which is a huge event and most of the participants are from top B-schools across the country. Official cultural festival named 'Mridang' is also a famous event. Additionally, IIM Indore holds a marathon every year.
Fee Structure And Facilities
Hostels are good with nice architect. The rooms are single. Boys and girls have separate hostels, although girls can freely come in boys hostels. Sadly, boys can't visit the girls hostel. The hostel and mess fees is included in college fees. The overall fees during my stay in 2010-2012 was 11. 5 LPA.
Fees and Financial Aid
There is a provision of fee waiver (exact %, can't remember) of around 50-60% for students whose family income is lower than a certain limit.
Campus Life
Campus life is great. The campus, 180-odd acres, is very beautiful. Just do a search on beautiful college campuses in India and you will find IIM Indore in almost every search result. The gender ratio in my batch was on the lower side, 10:1, but our juniors had a better ratio of around 4:1.
Alumni/Alumna
Every year, an event called 'Rendezvous' is held in major cities across India right before the session begins and one can visit and get a catch-up with the alumni. Alumni network is decent and we still get info about job openings in our mail box.
