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.
