Placement: As part of the first batch, we had a tough time getting job offers from companies since we were unknown in the market. It was challenging because our college mentor didn't offer much support. But with hard work, we eventually landed opportunities with some decent companies.

Campus: When we started, the college setup was just okay because we were the first group. We had a bunch of problems at first like bad wifi, power cuts, and food issues. But as time went on, things got better. Some stuff got fixed, and some are getting there. Oh, by the way, there's no airport nearby.

Admission: Studying at IIM is cool because the teachers are super smart with Ph.D.s from IIM itself. They focus more on practical stuff and how you present your work. We do class participation, presentations, group projects, and quizzes for like 70% of our grades. The rest is exams. We tackle real business problems in our studies. We do 3 semesters a year, each lasting 3 months with 2 exams per semester. So, you get used to taking exams every month or so. We get graded on a percentile system, not percentages. You only need to beat 30% of the top scores to pass. It's tough to fail since most of your grades come from non-exam stuff. But it's also tough to get top marks because everyone's super competitive. We can give feedback before exams and switch classes if needed. Overall, it's a challenging but rewarding experience.
