IIM Bodh Gaya is definitely one of the biggest ones.
Placements: Placements are often good. While my course hasn't gone through the placement process yet, the MBA batch placements have been done, and the highest was 44 LPA. However, the lowest was not disclosed, and the average was 14 LPA. The college offers 100% placements every year, which enhances its alumni relations.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is mesmerizing, whether it be the academic block or the sports complex. Everything is up to the mark, and hostels are also well and good. Proper maintenance of hostels and other infrastructure is taken, cleanliness is maintained, and it feels like home.
Faculty: All faculty members are graduates of the top and most prestigious institutes in our country. They are full of knowledge and elegance, and we learn both life lessons and courses as well from them. Exams are conducted on a regular basis, and any kind of malpractice is prohibited. The curriculum focuses on the holistic development of an individual.
Other: All kinds of festivals are celebrated on campus, and the crowd is always crazy. I chose this course for my holistic development, as the curriculum is diverse and emphasizes each component of life. However, what I feel is that the course could be more personalized for better implementation and development of an individual on a personal basis.

IPMAT the Enlightening IIM.
Placements: The first batch of IPM will be placed in 2026 after merging with the MBA Batch of 2026. There are no campus placements for IPM after BBA. We can get an idea about how the placements are going to be for IPM by looking at the placements of the MBA Batch. In 2023, the highest package received was INR 48 LPA while the average and median stood at INR 15 LPA. 70 companies visited the campus for placements in 2023. Most of the students are placed in BFSI and consulting sectors. You can check out the placement brochure on the website of IIM BG for more details.
Infrastructure: The Permanent Campus of IIM Bodh Gaya was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February 2024. The facilities are very modern and include all the important things a college must have. The campus is approximately 70 acres. It has a beautiful Academic Block which contains modern classrooms, faculty cabins, and a huge two-floored library. The library is the center of attraction of the academic block. Apart from the Academic Block, we have a 350-seater world-class Auditorium. There is a Sports complex and sports stadium in the center of the campus. Sports Complex hosts a Gym, Squash Court, Badminton Courts, Basketball Court, and a multi-purpose room for indoor games. The Sports Stadium has a Football & Cricket Ground and a Basketball & Volleyball court. Other facilities include an MDP Block, a Medical Block, a Central Mess, and a Park. The only negative for IPM students in the new campus is they are accommodated in the old hostels of the college. IPM students get double sharing rooms, and the hostels are decent.
Faculty: Although the number of faculty in the college is less, the teaching quality of the faculty is great. The curriculum for IPM is holistic ranging from Emotional Intelligence and Yoga to Fundamentals of Corporate Finance and Marketing Management. The programme will make you ready for a good career as the courses at IIM Bodh Gaya are very rigorous.

A short review of IPMAT IIM Bodhgaya .
Placements: The IPM is a five year course and has been started in IIM Bodhgaya in the year 2021. It provides a BBA degree after the completion of 3 years and then the MBA course structure is followed. The placements of IPM students happen with the PGP students, and there is no distinction. In order to be a part of the IPM programme one has to clear the entrance examination JIPMAT which consists of three sections - Quantitative Aptitude Verbal Ability, and Data Interpretation Logical Reasoning as per the pattern of the 2022 examination. The details of the same would be available in the IIM Bodhagya official site.
Infrastructure: The hostels have all the necessary facilities and Wi-Fi is also available. There is basketball court, table tennis, badminton court, indoor gym and all that a sports enthusiast could ask for. There is a library which has a wide range of books that attracts the bibliophiles. There is the auditorium where various events are conducted. The classroom are well furnished that acts as a catalyst in the peer learning. The infrastructure is improving day by day and once the campus gets fully ready it will be a stellar to be looked upon.
Faculty: The course has a variety of subjects that helps one to broaden one's horizon and get a lot of exposure. The faculty is exquisite in their dissemination of knowledge and create a profound interest in the subject. They are ready to solve any queries that arise not just within class but after classes as well. The curriculum is relevant as the courses are based on the needs of the industry and gives you the opportunity to find the specialisation of your choice as it not restricts you with a single specialisation.
