Review of Indian Institute of Management.
Placements: My college provided a very high percentage of placements to students in various companies. The highest package offered for the course was 2.8 LPA, and the average package was 7 LPA. A high percentage of students got internships in many companies like Cognizant, Microsoft, and Swiggy.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my course were so good. Wi-Fi, classrooms, and the library everything were available. However, the quality of food provided in the course was very bad in taste, hence we did not eat the canteen food. The medical facilities were available, and sports and games were also present in my college.
Faculty: Teachers in my course were so helpful, and all were very qualified and knowledgeable. They had great teaching qualities. The course was not curriculum-relevant, and students were not industry-ready. But, the semester exams in my course were so easy, and the pass percentage was 60%.
Other: I chose this course to gain the best knowledge. There was no improvement in my core subjects. Events were very boring, but scholarships and extracurricular activities were available in my college.
