IIM Lucknow Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Only two issues were present during your two years at IIM Lucknow, but they were enough to ruin your life.

• Placement Group:

The placement team at IIM Lucknow is utterly corrupt on a divine level. It is the only IIM where our placement report has never been revealed. Not even the funded numbers released by IIM I & K.

Despite IIM L, being one of the top ten B schools in the country, the overall average and median package offered was INR 31.03 LPA and INR 29 LPA, respectively. After more than a month, 10% of the batch remains unplaced. Deserving candidates are doomed in a system dominated by such greedy and unethical individuals.

• Faculty:

The next two years of your education will be spent being tormented by extra assignments whenever a good company visits campus by money-minded, egoistic professors who know nothing and teach an outdated curriculum. Around 10% of professors are divine.

Another 20% are somewhat average and do a good job of teaching, but they are limited by the useless curriculum. However, 70% of the professors are just pitiful; they don't know anything and don't know how to teach it. They are only concerned with making commissions on anything they can in order to sell businesses their useless MDPs.

My honest review of IIM Lucknow is that no matter what gibberish you hear about it, it’s one of the best B Schools out there. The outstanding balance of ambiance, infrastructure, library, faculty, and a student-gender ratio ensures that you focus on your goals and studies completely.

My friend recently passed out from this institute and says that she has learned a lot from it. It has taught her to stay tight on her goals and not complain about tiny things. It has taught her to have realistic expectations and goals and how to achieve them.

The deadlines and rigor keep you on your toes and helps you acquire amazing time-management and pressure-handling skills.

Also, the batch at IIM Lucknow is very interactive and friendly so you won’t feel left out and end up making some friends for life.

The faculty is adequate but not exceptional. The quality of hostels varies considerably. Which hostel you get depends on your chance. Peer group is once more acceptable; they aren't particularly talented, but you can't also say they aren't talented. Mess is acceptable. There is a canteen where you can get more tasty but unhealthy food. Every room has a high-speed internet connection. Everyone is assigned a single room so that they can learn to be self-sufficient. Although the curriculum is demanding, the workload is manageable. You have plenty of free time to relax. 

The cost, which is high but not as high as options A, B, and C, is an important consideration. Therefore, only go there if you can afford it. Only a small portion of what you learn in school will apply to real-world situations, but you will learn a great deal outside of it.
