Life at the campus is very lively. I am a sports person and there is a huge cricket ground and football ground 1 minute away from my room. There is a basketball court along with a badminton court as well. There is provision to play volleyball, throwball as well as table tennis. There is a saying called IMT never sleeps. The parties here are quite enjoyable if you are a party person.

There are 2 campuses at IMT Ghaziabad - 1) Main Campus - Single occupancy and Double occupancy 2) CDL Campus - Double occupancy only I got a single occupany room in the main campus. The registeration process was simple. Inside the room there was a bed, chair, table, wadrobe and AC. The room is quite spacious for luggage. The only downside I would say from my point is view is that every floor has common washrooms which might be difficult to adjust for a few people. The mess food is very good here. There is a variety of food and the mess committee has done a good job so far. From my undergrand hostel experience, I used to order food from outside quite a lot. But after coming to IMT Ghaziabad, I haven't had the need to order food from outside yet. So that tells a lot about the quality of the food offered here.

The overall admission process was very smooth. Eligibility 1) Minimum 3 years Bachelor's degree or equivalent in any discipline with minimum 50% marks in aggregate. 2) CAT 2022/XAT 2022/GMAT(January 1, 2019 - February 28, 2023) The application form can be found on the website of IMT Ghaziabad. The application fee was Rs 2500. The application form opened on September 5, 2022, and closed on November 25, 2022. Then it again reopened on December 27, 2022. The IMT admission process started in the first week of February. There are 3 criteria for getting shortlisted for the admission process - 1) Exceptional profile 2) Exceptional work experience 3) High test scores If someone gets waitlisted, then we do not get to know the waitlist number. Also, there is no way to update or change the specialization that we are being offered. We have to either accept it or we have to opt out of the whole admission process. Hopefully, there can be a change in these 2 things for future batches.

The admission process consisted of 2 things - 1) A Critical Thinking test which was based on analytical thinking, written communication and innovation and creativity. 2) A Personal Interview was based on communication and interpersonal skills, analytical and problem-solving skills, business affairs and general awareness, domain knowledge and future potential of employability. In the end, the overall selection score would include test scores(CAT/XAT/GMAT), work experience points, academic diversity points and academic scores(10th, 12th and undergrad) along with critical thinking test and personal interview scores.
