A decent college to kick start your career in management.

Placements: The placements are decent. This year, big brands like Deloitte, Berger, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Yes Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Marico, etc., came for campus placements for batch 2019-21 and offered roles like analyst, deputy manager, sales manager, team lead etc. Some students took off-campus placements and got placed in Flipkart, TCS etc. I do not know about the highest, the lowest, average and median packages as everything was conducted in the virtual mode due to the covid 19 pandemic. Almost all the students who registered with the college campus placement cell got placed, and a few remained unplaced. Students with academic excellence and with conceptual clarity in their domains got good profiles and satisfactory packages. For our batch 2020-22, big brands like SBI, E&Y, Bata, RBI, Dabur, Amazon, TATA AIG, and Kalycito came for campus placements and offered good projects with stipend. In a nutshell, the college is good for candidates who are in the marketing domain, but for other domains, limited opportunities are provided. Getting a good package with a good profile in a good company is possible in this college subject to the candidate's hard work, conceptual clarity, perseverance and expertise in required skills.

Infrastructure: Although the first 8 months, starting from the day of orientation, everything was done in the virtual mode due to the pandemic, but we were fortunate to get the on-campus experience of atleast 1 month when the college was opened for physical classes in March. I found it amazing. Facilities like ultra-speed LAN (up to 250 Mbps) and Wi-Fi in every room of the hostel, AC and Wi-Fi enabled classrooms with laptop/mobile charging sockets in every desk, HD projectors, etc., are available. The library is the best part of this college, I must say, based on my personal experience. It is an ocean of knowledge with top-quality magazines, newspapers, books for academics and other aspects. It is also equipped with Bloomberg terminals for research purpose. You will find everything here that you are looking for. Hostel life is fabulous. We enjoy everything with our roommates and neighbour mates, be it exams, case study, project report, presentation and other preparations. Two buildings are there for accommodation, and each is of 6 floors. One is equipped with AC, while the other is non-AC. The mess is on the ground floor with a self-service facility. Common LED TV is available, where we watch the cricket match, movie, news, etc., while having our meal. Food quality is awesome.

Faculty: In a nutshell, based on my personal experience, I must say that the faculty members are good. Some are from IIMs, IIFTs, and DU, while some are from IITs. They are knowledgeable, qualified and helpful. They will try to the best of their ability to clear your doubts whenever you have. The course curriculum is relevant and makes us industry-ready. Some of the new courses that we learned this time were machine learning using R and Python, entrepreneurship, SAP, etc., which were very interesting and are in high demand in today's market.

Other: I chose this course as I want to make a career in the corporate world, and this course from IMI is very relevant and makes students industry-ready. A plethora of events are conducted as it is a student-driven college, and there are lots of clubs and committees. Although in our batch, most of the events happened on Zoom due to the pandemic, be it corporate talks, guest lectures, symposium, cultural events etc. However, we enjoyed 2-month physical events like Khel-e-IMI, farewell cum cultural night for seniors etc. The lush green 16-acre campus having red sandstone buildings with a cool, peaceful and pollution-free environment makes the campus life outstanding.
