Life at IIM BG, a blend of learning, growth and campus life.

The IPM program helps in building strong analytical and communication skills. Exams held in mid and end term are moderately tough based on ranking among the students for grading. However live projects, case studies would help in initial years of the IPM program.

IPM Students becomes eligible for placements in the 4th and 5th year of the program in MBA. Top firms like deloitte, HDFC, ICICI bank visit the campus for recruitment. Average package last year is 12 LPA for a batch size of more than 400 students across courses like MBA DBM, MBA HHM, MBA core.

They also have an opportunity to apply for need based scholarships, which is provided by the college itself.

Campus life here is vibraant with various events of clubs and committes all are student run. Library is well stocked, classes are world class with good sports facilities among IIMs. Here we have a squash court, racing tracks as well.

I chose IIM BG over institutes like NMIMS, Symbyosis because of its IIM branding and strong industry connects along with MBA integration with BBA. Admissions are through entrence exam called JIPMAT. while there was IIM Jammu also in option, I chose Bodhgaya. Selections include gender and category weightage as well.

Professors here are approachable and interactive. Courses here are semister based consisting of midterms, endterms and projects. Exams are moderatly tough, main focus is not on mugging up but on applications, but very few students fail as there is a ranking based grading system here in the college. My inclination is in finance domain and I can tell that majority of the professors here are great, the pool consists of both assistant and associate professors.

Campus life is calm but social. Gym is open till midnight while cafes are open till 12 30 PM at night. The gradens inside the campus along with cafes are one of the top choices for people here for hanging out.
