    Great MBA Experience in an IIM

    College Infrastructure

    This college is one of the fastest growing IIMs. The college has given most of the basic facilities like classroom, ground, library etc to it's students but not maintaining the IIM standards. So, it needs upgradation as students deserve better service after paying 15 to 17 lakhs fees.

    Academics in IIM Amritsar is quite well structured as the both the permanent & visiting facilities are highly qualified and experienced. I'm in the core program & in my curriculum courses are very much industry relevant.

    Decent BSchool

    College Infrastructure

    IIM Amritsar as a baby iim is growing really fast but till date the college is not able to provide a permanent campus to the students which is very disappointing. Students have to avail buses everyday to attend classes & that becomes really hectic.

    Academics

    Academics of IIM Amritsar is quite top notch. The courses are designed in HR while keeping in mind the current practices in the industry. The professors are experienced and qualified, so no complaint form that side either.

    Placements

    Overall Placement is decent but specifically for HR domain it isn't that good. Students have to stay a little longer during pavement session to get placed. Though the placement committee tries their best to place every student in time.

    B School in Making

    College Infrastructure

    The college doesn't have it's own campus. So in the temporary campus of the polytechnic college, the college doesn't have good classrooms, proper clean bathrooms etc. But some of the necessary amenities are provided though it needs improvement.

    Academics

    Academics of this college is really good. I'm studying MBA core here and I have taken general management in the 2nd year. So, the teaching quality is really good with highly qualified facilities. The curriculum is not that updated but it's getting improved every year.

    Placements

    Placements are not that good as it should be in an IIM. But as a new college it is trying very hard to bring companies like other emerging IIMs are trying to do. Also, the gender ratio & the workex - freshers ratio isn't stable which affects the placement to some extent.

    Have a question related to IIM Amritsar ?

    Hello,

    The CAT test is the initial requirement for admission to the IIMs. The Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview are the following phases (PI). The WAT and PI are the primary selection factors for admission to IIM MBA. They take place following the release of the CAT results. Candidates are shortlisted for WAT and PI if they fulfil the CAT cutoff. Final admission decisions are made based on a candidate's entire profile, which includes their CAT, academic, work, and category scores as well as their WAT and PI scores.

    Look at the IIM's qualifying requirements below:

    • The minimum graduation requirement for admission to an IIM is 50% overall, or an equivalent CGPA (45% for SC, ST, and PWD/DA categories).
    • Candidates who are taking the bachelor's degree/equivalent qualification test in their final year or who are awaiting their results may also apply.
    • The candidates must satisfy the IIM shortlist/qualifying cut off in order to be called for an IIM interview.
    • The minimal IIM call cut off must be met in order for applicants to be eligible for interview calls and to take part in WAT/GD-PI.

    So, you are eligible to apply for CAT to get into IIM.

    There are so many IIM and you are eligible for all if you CAT cutoff is above 90.

    IIM colleges like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, IIM Indore, IIM Kozhikode and many more.

    Try hard and give your best to clear CAT and personal interview.

    Best Wishes for your future.

    Thank You

    Hello Aspirant,

    Hope you are doing well !

    Keeping in mind, both K J Somaiya Institute of Management, and IIM Amritsar both are really good colleges, in my opinion, IIM Amritsar would be the better option.

    Though K J Somaiya's Highest package(26.5 LPA) is more than IIM Amritsar's(25.21 LPA). IIM Amritsar's average placement(14.63 LPA) is better than the other(10.59 LPA).

    Also one of the most important quality you get in an IIM is it's brand. There is no doubt that IIM Amritsar has a brand much stronger than the other.

    Hope my answer would help you.
