The overall experience of the campus is excellent. There are too many things to explore, different clubs and societies, and other career opportunities. You get to interact with one of the best minds in the country. The infrastructure is also excellent.

There are many clubs including academic clubs and also known academy clubs such as finance club consulting club and analytics club which come under academic clubs. Some of the clubs like dancing or cultural club or something like quiz club music club are also involved in many different activities throughout the year which help us also maintain our extra curricular activities along with our studies and all the clubs are run by students of the second year batch. Along with this there are many sports meets also like the internal sports meets and the faculty student sports meet and the sports meet of IIM Ahmedabad Bangalore Calcutta and Lucknow and another sports meet of XLRI Jamshedpur and I am Calcutta.

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.

Forget just books at IIM C's Joka campus! It's a social smorgasbord. Bond with your batchmates over chai, dance it out at Diwali celebrations or join the Dramatics Club. Clubs? Finance to film, there's one for every passion. Guest lectures from industry titans? Heck yeah! Modern classrooms, green spaces, and delicious food fuel your day. It's a roller coaster, but with lifelong friends by your side. IIM C, buckle up!

IIM Calcutta treats all of its students like adults, people have the liberty to take their own decisions and the college does not enforce unnecessary rules. There are multiple events that keep happening throughout the year - it is a student-run campus, during the last 3 years a lot of events happened online however that is changing and we saw a lot of events happening offline. We have an annual cultural fest, a marketing fest and a sports fest (IIM A, B, C, L) which was organised by IIM C. People really try to give time to their passion and hobbies outside of academics, there is a strong sports culture (we have all amenities available including a swimming pool and a squash court). There are extracurricular clubs for dance, theatre, singing, art enthusiasts, another club that is unique to IIM C is the pet pals club which is one of the most active clubs wherein students take care of cats, and dogs inside the campus

Annual fest are there like 7 Lakes Fest, Annual sports fests is also there named Sangharsh (IIM ABCL), C-XL. From what I've heard from my peers, the library is well-equipped in terms of books & journals. The classrooms are extremely comfortable and equipped with all the amenities one can possibly need. IIM C has a vibrant sporting culture with most of the batch participating in at least 1-2 sports. One sees most of the sports facilities being used every evening. The college also offers a wide variety of clubs run wholly by students.

The campus life is something that Calcutta distinguishes itself through when it comes to prestigious B schools. The institute has its flagship festival in the form of 7 Lakes Fest and other major events such as Mandi (a student-run marketplace) but it is honestly the culture of solidarity and amenability which makes this a transformational experience. It is 2 years of being surrounded by some of the brightest minds in the nation in an environment that encourages you to not just compete but also learn from one another. Groups around sports are common and there are clubs and SIGs for almost every mainstream interest/hobby and a few niche ones as well (you can check these out on the institute website). There are plenty of eateries within the campus and Kolkata is a decent enough city if you want something more.

Since it was COVID time all of our classes and events were held online including fests and clubs. Students present on campus also participated in these events through online mode only. Peer-to-peer interaction was also hampered due to COVID.

There are over 30+ clubs in the institute catering to all the diverse interests of students coming from across different places in the country. Despite a heavy focus on academics, the campus is a highly fun place to be at. There are 4 hostels. A 7 lakes fest is conducted annually imbibing its name from the 7 lakes on the campus. Coming to sports, Sangharsh is conducted between IIMA, B, C, and L in addition to the popular C vs XLRI rivalry. The sports infrastructure isn't fantastic but it still is above par when compared to other major Indian institutes.

Life at the campus is best including a student exchange program, CEMS MiM program (only one in India), multiple inter-college events, sports meets, intersections, etc. Classrooms are equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and we have over 40 clubs and committees and you can join as many as you want.
