Placements: Here, approximately 60% of our students were placed, with a good the highest salary package of 18 LPA. The medium salary was 4 LPA - 8 LPA. Companies, like TCS, Apollo, and Navdhar Finance visited our college. All students got internships.

Non-stop electricity was also provided. The infrastructure of the hostel was good. Food quality in the mess was something most people liked the least. It was average.
Faculty: Our faculty members were very helpful, qualified, knowledgeable, experienced, and top-notch. They had their own style of teaching which was very good. This curriculum was relevant. Semester exams were not that much hard but some papers like mathematics and engineering were quite hard.

Review of IRMA - Institute of Rural Management Anand.
Placements: Till date, I can tell you about the senior summer internships. They were placed in summer internships. Roles offered varied from development projects manager to consultant of the company. The stipend offered ranges from Rs. 30,000-75,000 per month. Top recruiters were Amul, Mother Dairy and Federal Bank.
Infrastructure: It is one of the finest courses, and it is very well-blended with the management course, rural areas and their social and behaviour. Hostel and the whole infrastructure are good. The mess department is also managed by students, and it feels like a well-managed organisation.
Faculty: Teachers and staff members associated with IRMA are very cooperative. It is very much clear from its peculiar village fieldwork curriculum that it makes us ready for real-time problem and dilemma faced by the people.

Can I get admission in this college with 84 percentile in cat?

Answered 7 years ago

With 84 percentile, you may not be able to get into IRMA. However, since admissions are based on the merit, there may be chances that students with a score better than yours don't choose IRMA and luck may knock your door. Be hopeful but keep other options open.
