There are times to use the ACs in the room (8 PM - 8 AM). Each floor has one water filter and two bathrooms. Each floor has only one geyser. The food is adequate. Although there are options, the food doesn't taste appropriate.

The admission for MBA in IIM Trichy, like other B-schools, is via CAT score. The students are supposed to clear both the sectional cutoff (70 percentile) and the overall cutoff (93 percentile) to be eligible to sit for the further selection process.

Only the Personal Interview was a part of the admission process. The questions include - tell us about yourself, general knowledge-based questions, technical questions on academic background, questions based on internships done, etc.
