Course Curriculum Overview
Great learning if one aspires to be a business leader. It's one of the most prestigious business schools in India with extremely good faculty especially in Finance and economics domain. It offers one of the best cultures across the top business schools in the country.
Internships Opportunities
I worked at Adani Group for the internship in the finance domain. Most of the companies for the 56th batch offered internship with stipend above one lac per month. The domains include consulting, finance, product, general management etc.
Placement Experience
In terms of placements, it is one of the best business schools in India. Companies ranges from consulting domain, operations, product, finance and general management. Hundred percent of the batch gets placed every year.
Fees and Financial Aid
Course fees have gone higher and continuously increasing in the last few years. Although very easy educational loans are available at the minimum possible rates. Even though fees is high, the good placements offer a great ROI. For the financially weaker sections, there is provision of NBFA.
Campus Life
Carpe Diem is the annual fest of IIM Calcutta. Apart from it, there are different clubs working in different domain most of which aligns to the academics and placements such as consulting club, operations club, Analytics club etc.
Hostel Facilities
There are 4 different hostels at IIM Calcutta for MBA students. Some are old and some are new. Facilities at newer hostels are better. MBA is residential program so everyone is allotted a hostel and a single room. Hostel which one receive is based on random allotment.
Admission
Entry through CAT exam. I have taken CAT 2018 to secure the admission here. Application to IIMs is directly submitted through CAT exam which is held annually. Each IIM has its own admission criteria mentioned on their website, which includes different weightages to CAT exam, 10th, 12th, graduation scores, workex, WAT-PI etc.
