    Currently not having a permanent campus, all the classes are held in a transit campus which is a part of Polytechnic college LK Gujral University, Amritsar. Though the permanent campus is a work in progress and probably will be done by the year end.

    Academics

    The curriculum design is extremely good, and the faculties are really amazing. With a best in class pedagogy IIM Amritsar makes sure that you are ready to conquer the industry once you are out in the professional world.

    Placements

    The placement is decent at IIM Amritsar with a dedicated Placements Committee. The average package last year was around 16.5LPA which is expected to grow this year. Also the SIP average stipend was nearly 80k which is quite decent for a new generation IIM.

    Value for Money

    You can really expect good ROI for your investment at IIM Amritsar. The packages and roles offered here are at par with the industry trends. You can get place in your dream company if you stay focused. Also the peer to peer learning is a great experience.

    Campus Life

    The college life might be a little boring as we are currently in a transit campus but the hostel Life is the best which you can imagine at any IIM across the country. The mess food is something that you will like, I know this might sound strange but it's true.

    Others

    Go for CAT and choose IIM Amritsar that's what I would say.

    College Infrastructure

    The infrastructure of the college is good and developing. It now has a transit campus since 9 years but the new campus will be there by mid 2024 (as assured by our students council). It will be great one day.

    Academics

    The professors, the curriculum and the pedagogy used is very relevant, that helps us understand real life problems and discuss good solutions. Teachers are supportive and the doubt clearing sessions are really helpful.

    Placements

    The placements are a little off this season due to recession in the country. Still, the placecom is really working hard. The placements committee is really approachable, unlike other colleges where placecom members don't even talk to you properly.

    Value for Money

    In 2-3 years, it will be value for money. As soon as the campus is built, this college will exceed all the third gem iim, that i can guarantee. People here are really working hard, right from the faculty members to the students.

    Campus Life

    Campus life here is good and fun. After the campus is build, the campus would be solid enough. Honestly speaking... Really longing for a campus. Rest college campus is ok. Hostel campus are two - blessing and metropolis. Both have their positives and negatives

    A rising worthy IIM with enormous potential.

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    The institute is rapidly growing and marking its presence in the global industry. The only current con is the absence of a permanent campus that will be inaugurated in June 2024. This single phenomenon will exponentially upsurge the development of the institute.

    Academics

    The diversity in the institute specifically the geographical diversity enables us to valuable insights into the markets that are highly dependent on the regions such as FMCG. But also, overall the engineers dominate the campus.

    Placements

    The placements are in line with the current industry standards of the IIMs. It does not lag in any aspect be it package, industry, companies, or roles offered. However, in 2024 the job market is down which will be affecting all the IIMs including IIM Amritsar.

    Value for Money

    The learnings and opportunities offered by the institute are worth the money if you are serious about making a career in business. The packages offered by the companies visiting the institute act as a cherry on top.

    Campus Life

    This is where the institute falls back a little owing to the absence of a permanent campus. However, any campus is the students so you won't miss out on a lot as you will find a variety of people here and you won't feel out of place.

    The infrastructure of the college is good. Only one downside is currently we don’t have any permanent campus so we have to travel by bus everyday. Apart from that wi-fi and IT enabled library everything is in the college.

    Academics

    I am currently pursuing MBA in Business Analytics from IIM AMRITSAR. One thing is assured that IIM AMRITSAR is providing one of the best Analytics course in our country. Course curriculum is on par woth other top B-Achools of India.

    Placements

    Placements are pretty well. The placement report is already in the official college website of IIM AMRITSAR. Anyone who is interested can check out the statistics from there. 100% of the batch is being placed every year.

    Value for Money

    Our course cost is 17.30 lakhs but the total amount of 2 years is around 20-22 lakhs. Yes is every single penny is worth here. You can learn from the best faculty and also different extra curricular and co-curricular activities also have been taken place throughout the year.

    Campus Life

    If someone wants to know about the campus life just go to google and search Blessing City in punjab. Currently we are in transit campus but the campus life is really great. We wake up and run for the classes everyday with our batchmates. So there is a feeling of home in the campus too. You will never feel alone.

    Others

    Well overall it’s a great experience in IIM-AMRITSAR. Every term is very tough here. But surviving here means you can survive any thing in life. So we are going through that phase here.

    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.

    Hello aspirant
