- Placements recorded are good however, the ambiguity in job role and description is a major problem which can hinder the start of our corporate journey and impact the path ahead.
Admission:
I sat for other entrance exams as well besides writing the CAT. I applied for SNAP and IIFT later on once I had written CAT. Speaking on CAT, i.e. Common Admission Test requires any candidate to be either in their final year of graduation or is a passout with a minimum graduation score of 60% was the eligibility. Any interested candidate was required to access the application form curated for IIMs a separate portal for the same. On that particular portal, the registration was opened in the first week of Aug till Sep end. Then, it will generate a Register ID for you for further access. In the CAT form, there were multiple sections asking for your personal/background details, Educational, Employment (if any), and preferred IIMs with a fee of Rs2500. The CAT exam was conducted in November end with medium to high-level difficulty across all sections. After CAT, I took SNAP (1hr exam with Rs 2250 excluding college ) which is easier but tests your speed and IIFT (3hrs) which was relatively lengthy.
Likes
- I like the campus of IIM Visakhapatnam, it has one of the best hostels with state of the art infrastructure which makes our life very comfortable and gives us the environment so that we should freely focus on our curriculum and development.
- The college scenic beauty, because our college is situated outside the city and the mountains are surrounding the campus from all the three sides and thus the campus presents a very beautiful and eye-catching image which lives in memory forever.
Dislikes
- The campus is still under construction and still it lacks in some of the basic facilities, which will be provided to the future batches of the college, like properly constructed auditorium, library and different rooms for clubs and committees.
- The student immersion program is still not operational so the students lacks in International exposure and thus the students of our college are not able to get the exposure of the foreign universities, which students of different IIM are having.
Admission:

IIM Visakhapatnam: 5 Answered Questions
Should I go for an MBA from IIM Visakhapatnam or try next year?
IIM Visakhapatnam is one of the newest IIMs and lacks credibility to a great extent. The State and Central governments might be trying to make this a good institution but I don’t think it’s capable of offering a plethora of opportunities in terms of placements, exposure, peer learning, or faculty. I will suggest you go for a different IIM if you have any other option up to your sleeve. Even a new IIM that has just been established for a year or two is better. Make sure its infrastructure, placements, and faculty are at par with the IIM standards. It’s too early to claim with surety of IIM Visakhapatnam’s worth. Moreover, if you were able to crack CAT this year, it’s better you try again next year with a bit more determination and target a better B School.
What should I join, SIBM Pune or IIM Visakhapatnam?
Don’t go for IIM Visakhapatnam if you are just attracted by the IIM tag. While it surely is part of the IIM family that does not necessarily mean it has the same standards. Between the two, SIBM Pune gives a slight edge to IIM Visakhapatnam. If you talk about them generally they definitely are good institutions, but they are not the best. IIM Visakhapatnam is not yet recognised at SIBM Pune.
But if your preference is staying in your hometown or other location factors and IIM Visakhapatnam is suitable for you, then go for it. Both are almost similar in terms of worth and academics. At the end of the day it’s not the institution but your own performance that matters.
Is it worth joining IIM Vizag leaving behind the offer from IIM Nagpur?
As a student of the institution, it is important to recognize that comparing institutes can be problematic, as each institution has its own unique strengths and weaknesses.
