IIM Ranchi - The Journey with the twist of life

IIM Ranchi offers a rigorous curriculum designed to learn management skills. I took admitted to the flagship postgraduate program in management. The course was up to the point and useful with lots of case studies and practical learning experience. The faculty was one of the best in India with senior faculty from IIM A/B/C. The marketing faculty was the best as they had immense experience in the domain. Teaching methods were classroom learnings along with practical case solutions. There were surprise quizzes and the exam level was moderate to tough.

Internship opportunity with college is good as 100 per cent of students get an internship from college. There are various companies coming to campus for roles like (finance, operations, Analytics, Sales and Marketing, and HR). Some of the key names include (HSBC, JP Morgan, Asian Paints, Accenture, Cognizant, ICICI, etc). The average stipend is 55000-70000 per month and the highest stipend is 175000 per month. I was offered a stipend of 1 Lakh per month by one of the leading Analytics companies.

Placements are good at IIM Ranchi. placements are driven by a student body called CRPC (Corporate Relations and Placement Committee). There are 2 placement seasons (summer internship and final placement). Summer placements start during 2nd term and final placement starts in 4-5 term. The number of companies visited IIM Ranchi was 110 and they made offers to all the students. There was 100 percent placement in our college. The highest package offered was 67 LPA for international and 32 LPA for domestic. The average placement was around 18 LPA. I was selected by one of the leading consulting firms and I will be working for that company in the future.

The fee structure is similar to any 2nd gen IIM. I took a loan and my entire fees including mess food and everything was INR 1750000. There were quite a lot of opportunities for scholarships including SC/ST scholarships and IDFC bank scholarships based on need and even government-provided grants were also given. Moreover, I got into a 2-month summer internship program and earned 1 Lakh per month (The combined total for 2 months was 2 Lakh)

Life on the IIM Ranchi campus is amazing and very charming. All the assignment's deadline is at 11:59:59 PM and campus life and party starts after that. There are lots of clubs and committees as it is a completely student-driven college. There are clubs for each domain (Marketing, Operations, Finance, etc) and there are committees such as (Facility Committee, Alumni Committee, Sports Committee, etc). There are also self-interest groups such as (dance groups, Singing groups, Drama Groups, Painting groups, etc) The annual fest is Agon and Rush. Agon is a technical fest and Rush is a cultural fest. Both the fest adds a great charm to college life. There are lots of books available on various business topics in the library and there is also an E-library where students can refer to the wide database online. Classrooms are wifi enabled and there is huge projector and boards for the faculty to teach the students.

Hostel Facility is good. Single rooms are provided to all the students. Washrooms and rooms are cleaned on a daily basis by the hostel staff. The hostel block is WIFI enabled and a proper bed with a table, chair, and full-size mirror is provided. Mess food is not that good, but considering another peer IIM's it is up to the mark. They serve both veg and non-veg food. The menu is usual chapati, rice, some sabzi, and sweets during dinner.
