Review of IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management.

Placements: 100% placement is guaranteed in this college because they take a lot of charge in the field, which is why they have achieved 100% in this field. They give extraordinary classes and a fantastic curriculum to meet industry demands. Top recruiting companies are like Goldman Sachs and Zomato, etc. Students get internships in their core subjects with good ranks and packages. Top roles like business development manager and registrar are offered.

Infrastructure: The hostel and college provide a wonderful experience, as they give fantastic infrastructure and facilities like Wi-Fi, a library, and an industry-driven cell. Companies visit our campus to take students for internship purposes, and then they get placed in the company. Sports and extracurricular activities are also present, in which we have the opportunity to play at the state and national levels.

Faculty: Exams are very strict, and real-world application-based problems are asked for the overall development of the students, so that they get placed in the most reputable companies based on their talent and hard work. The course curriculum is very relevant, and companies visit our campus for placement purposes around the last week of every month. Semester exams are tough, but those who work hard and study regularly can easily clear the exam.

Other: I chose this course to get a better placement in top companies. The best thing about the course is that it helps in getting placed in companies. It would be better if the college introduced a system where we can have live interactions with the company HR to look over the program run there, so that we can gain experience. Events and fests are also held in the college.
