Excellent and thought provoking, challenging and at the same time, provoking to learn more and more.

Placements: The college had a 100% placement record with an average package of around 19 lakhs. Consulting and finance constitute nearly 35% of the batch and the rest of the batch was placed in the rest of the domain. Marketing was another sector which attracted many students as all the major firms came to the campus for recruitments.

An excellent place to have an overall development and improve in all aspects of life.

Placements: All students were placed but I am not sure about the highest and lowest internship stipends offered. Companies like McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, HUL, P&G, etc visited the campus. Similar roles are offered across IIM-A, B and C. Some companies visit two or fewer campuses exclusively. Each IIM has companies like this.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, library, medical facilities, sports and games, etc are available in a good capacity. There is a...

It is not a place, it is an experience.

Placements: IIM Calcutta has maintained its reputation as one of the top B-schools. Based on its reputation of strong academic rigour and producing leaders, IIMC has over the years had more offers than the number of applicants. So there are 100% placements in the final as well as summer placements. The companies have shown tremendous confidence in recruiting students from IIMC. Known as the finance campus of India, IIMC saw top offers from finance companies offering hefty salaries and stipends. Also, the bi...

It is one of the best B-schools in the country simple because of the people on the campus.

Placements: All students were placed both in finals and internship. However, concurring to the present market scenario, not all quality offers were made. All the traditional prime recruiters came but the number of offers was lesser than previous years. Hence, the placement mood is good but not the best.

Infrastructure: The campus is beautiful in that it has numerous lakes and scenic beauty is good. But some of the hostels are very old and not repaired properly. Sports facility is not the bes...

The number of companies recruiting from the campus has been on the rise over the years and continues to do so.

The batch size is 450. The faculty is the alumni of Harvard and Stanford universities. The placement is 100%. The college provides high industry exposure and one gets chances to be a part of top companies' live projects while studying. Campus life is tough and hectic and IIM is considered to be the number one B-school in the country.

This is the oldest IIM and also known as the "Fin" campus of the country spread over an area of 134 acres. It is the only B-school in India having triple accreditation. With a batch strength of 462 spread over 6 sections in the 1st year, this college has a heritage of delivering quality education. Is that all? Definitely no. 22 clubs starting from marketing club to dramatics club, all equally play a role in the growth of a person. The campus is also famous for its scenic beauty hosting 4 hostels...

IIM Calcutta is one of the best B-schools in the country and probably even the continent. The institute is famous for its finance faculty, finance courses and the one of a kind finance Laboratory. However, the proficiency of the campus does not limit to just finance. The departments of Marketing, Economics, Management Information System, etc. are also equally good. The most unique thing about IIM Calcutta as a B-school is that it gives the students equal opportunity to excel in academics as well...

There is very little that has not been said about IIM Calcutta, or Joka, as we call it fondly. Most reviews I have read focus on the unforgettable campus life - its activities and the leadership values they imbibe in you without you noticing it yourself. The faculty is excellent(It would be a crime to point out only a few), there are great opportunities for self development and to make good friends, and the placement records speak for themselves. We may not be the best college in terms of infras...
