Overall Satisfied with the experience at IIM Lucknow.

Placements: All students at the campus get placed. The average package at IIM Lucknow is about 28 LPA, and the average stipend for the internship period is 1.6 LPA per month. Almost half of the batch gets PPOs from their interns. Roles are offered in all domains, including Finance, Operations, Consulting, and HR.

Infrastructure: Hostel accommodation is mandatory as it is a residential program. The quality of hostel rooms is also good. Everyone is allocated a single, separate room. There are no restrictions or curfew timings as such on campus. Wi-Fi is available on campus, and meals served at the mess are okay, better than in other colleges.

Faculty: The curriculum and teachers are above average. Some subjects are very practical and provide insights into the real-world functioning of companies, while others are dead boring, such as Legal Studies. All in all, it's a fun experience learning from such learned professors.

Do MBA on your own risk .

Placements: Placements ongoing, the highest 1.5 crores, the lowest 10.5 LPA till now, TAS, Meesho, BCG, Mackinsey, Kerney, Accenture etc. All management related roles like consulting, product management, sales and marketing head, general management and operations role, etc. ( all MBA colleges write false numbers in their annual placement report, consider if they say 33 LPA average, then consider it 20 LPA).

Infrastructure: Indoor sports, washing machines but old, football ground, cricket ground, library which is really good, swimming pool, gym, state, computer centre, green nature trails Hostels are decent, clean but very old washrooms, total 18 hostels, except 17,18 hostel others are very old but clean enough for use.

Faculty: I felt courses are old and not so relevant, some teachers are just free and not teaching properly, projects are just chat gpt practice these days and students are not even attentive in classes, but some are really good and puts a lot of efforts to teach you properly.

Our college has good facilities and faculty members.

Placements: IIM has a very good and active placement cell. Placements start in the pre-final semester. Many top companies, such as Maruti Suzuki, Airport Authority of India, Unschool, Duraroof, etc., come here for placements. The average salary package ranges from 7 LPA to 8 LPA. Approximately 70% of students get placed during the placement process. After getting the degree, I also hope to work for one of the reputed companies in India.

Infrastructure: There were 3 types of hostels. They were old dorms, new dorms, and married student hostels. Two mess halls served food to the whole IIMA community. In terms of quality, I would rate it as average, considering the type of food served. It was mandatory to stay in hostels for PGP students.

Faculty: Most faculty members have Ph.D.s. They graduated from IIMS. We have faculty members from foreign universities. They teach for short durations. A few of them teach for a period of 3 months. We have 3 terms each year. Exams are more focused on the practical mind of a student than on basic technical things.

Other: I chose MBA to pursue a career in finance.
