Companies that come for recruitment keep changing year on year as per their recruiting needs, however, rest assured, if you have a good history of performance and you're hard working you're likely to get placed where you like, be it an MNC or a booming start-up. Some of the regular recruiters were Reckitt Benckiser, Mosanto, Syngenta, Pepsico, Godrej, Mahindra, ConAgra, Nestle, etc. The placement process during summers was (naturally) a bit less stressful. Having said that summers were considered a great opportunity as companies generally offer PPO (pre-placement offers) or PPI (pre-placement interviews) to their respective interns based on their performance during internship. If you happen to have this PPO/PPI, you have a chance at being placed directly in these companies without having to take part in the gruesome final placements. | IIMA was blessed with one of the best campuses in India. Only, IISc comes close to beating it from what I've heard. Entire campus, including gardens, dorms, library, in-campus restaurants, classrooms, etc. It's everywhere. There are plenty photos available on Google, and of course there were scenes in the movie 2 states where you can have a peek at the classrooms. The ones with grey walls were in the new campus with seating capacity of about 110 while the ones with red bricks were in the old campus with seating capacities of about 80. Obviously, these were world class with centralized AC, projectors, ampi-theatre like seat arrangement, etc. Library was the best in the country with over 4-5 lakh books and the best online databases which we were proud consumers of. It had an in-campus dispensary with 9 am to 7 pm doctor availability along with an in-campus medical store (with room delivery option) and 24 hours of ambulance service. Top class facilities for most major sports were available like cricket, football, basketball, table tennis, squash, badminton, volleyball, etc. A swimming pool wasn't there but there was a rumor that it'll come up sometime soon. IIMA mess serves an amazing food but was considered expensive by a few. Additionally, there were around 7 other cafes/restaurant to choose from within the campus. | Faculty and pedagogy were the two things that make IIMA the very best in the business. The faculty members were extremely qualified, in a lot of cases over-qualified rather. Many of them were the advisors to a lot of international bodies, central and state governments, corporates, etc. The Harvard method of case studies was most prominently used. Recently, they have also adopted simulation based methods for a few courses. There was a lot of industry exposure and the curriculum was extremely useful and relevant with direct applicability to the work that we do after graduating. | IIMA - there's a reason the brand speaks for itself.
