Best college To Study along with Personal development 5/5

Wi-Fi is available all across campus. No limit on usage. All classrooms are equipped with projectors and are fully Air Conditioned. Library is currently under renovation, and will most likely be opened by mid of 2018. The library has all genres of books, with leasing period variable for different class of students. For PGP it is 14 days. The online portal of library offers access of databases and journal websites to almost all the major journals and important databases. There is a small dispensary on campus, but there is no full-functioning hospital.I finanlised after qualifying Cat examination.

Placement 5/5

Placements were excellent. IIM A has cluster system (with companies of same field arriving on same day), almost 40% of batch I guess had offers by the end of cluster 1 (I. e. Consulting & Finance firms), including PPOs and lateral offers. 100% of students got placed. The highest, the lowest and Average can’t be calculated since a number of companies don’t give salary details in the Job Description Forms. But the highest for domestic would definitely be more than or equal to 50 LPA. Around 100+ firms participated across Consulting, Finance, Marketing, General Management, Technology, and BFSI profiles. Consulting took maximum students, my guess would be ~ 100. 100% of students got internships as it is a mandatory requirement. Stipend details are not shared by companies, but the highest domestic will ~ 3.5 lacs. Yes, there is a placement cell. It is responsible for ensuring internships and placements for all interested students.
