Review of IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management.

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.

Absolutely satisfied with the campus life and best college for doing business studies.

Faculty: Faculty members here at IIM Ahmedabad are great. They are well-educated and quite experienced. But they are too busy doing their work which impacts teaching quality. They don't have enough time for the problems of students. Curriculum is totally relevant and it makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are tough and proper study is required all around the year.

Great campus life with student with diverse backgrounds.

Faculty: The relationship between faculty and students is positive, and the faculty members are highly approachable. There is one internal exam conducted before the final semester exam. The exams are quite difficult and 2-3 percent of the students struggle to pass them. The teaching staff includes experienced professors and Ph.D. scholars who strive to provide the best support to their students.

Review of IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management.

Faculty: Our teachers are excellent and well-qualified. Most teachers are Ph.D. holders. The curriculum is very up-to-date and application-based. IIMA is renowned for its case-based learning, and it certainly lives up to that reputation. The evaluation process is comprehensive, and exams are difficult because we have to cover 12 to 13 subjects within 2 to 3 months.
