An underrated IIM, which has got plenty to offer

Situated at the foothills of the Himalayas, the IIM of the North is a place which has to offer a lot in all aspects be it exposure, placements, extra-curricular and the right environment to prepare you for the corporate life ahead. Infrastructure is undoubtedly one of the best, with single occupancy rooms in hostels, attached washrooms and a living hall common in 6 rooms with a refrigerator, washing machine and an oven. Some really worthy Foreign Exchange Collaborations Good faculty Great Placements (If you're Reasonable), full assistance and support provided for preparation Lively Culture and Campus Life Huge participation in inter college and corporate competitions Great Ecosystem The only thing which college lacks drastically is the gender ratio because of the strict in-take policy regarding the composite score and the PR, which hits the brand equity of the institute.

Good new IIM, however...

Life in IIM Kashipur can be plain sailing for those who have nothing but studies on their agenda, but can be rough for those who like a bit of recreational activities to clear up their minds. Faculty is good, though some are not of the standard you'd expect from an IIM. However, it has to be said that some of the visiting faculty were top-notch, pity they won't be coming to teach from next year onwards as IIM Kashipur is trying to cut costs by promoting their internal faculty. Hostel life is great, particularly in the new campus, which is excellent. The facilities are excellent, with A-grade single rooms with attached bathrooms. But internet connectivity is a major issue, and is down most of the time. Speeds are also not of the usual NKN standards, with a maximum speed of around 600Kbps. The students fraternity is very friendly and helpful, and teamwork is promoted in all activities. It is quite common to see students studying in groups. In fact, in our two years, most of our learning came outside the classrooms! Placement record is good, but the companies that came to the campus during the latter part of the placement season were certainly not of IIM standard, i.e very low package and little to no job security. The institute should definitely work harder to bring better companies with good records, instead of just bringing second rate companies just to beef up the placement record. A bunch of students remained unplaced, and the institute should definitely look into this serious matter as all future applicants come to any IIM with hopes of getting good placements.

College life at IIM Kashipur

My journey in IIM Kashipur was wonderful so far. The location is very beautiful with hill stations nearby. The road to the campus is a little bumpy, but it is all worth reaching there. The campus is very good in terms of infrastructure and college life. The hostels are spacious and good enough. The faculty and corporate exposure is a plus point. The fees seem to be expensive, but it is all worth for management studies: the knowledge we get and the placements which we're offered. But the best part is the student life and friends we make over here.

College life at IIM Kashipur

Good college to study MBA because of IIM tag. Infrastructure should be improved a lot. Faculty is good except one or two. Student crowd is okay. College life is a little better. Placements are also good. College fees are average. It is a fairly good IIM as compared to other IIMs.

It is all about time and timing

Unlike an engineering college, business schools are focused on rigour and developing an individual holistically. IIM Kashipur is one such top notch college which creates good managers. The course strategy is at par with IIM A,B,Cs. The students also perform excellently in competitions all over India. Infrastructure and hostel facilities are very good. Only the new campus should be completed quickly enough for the students to shift completely. The road facilities also need improvement.

Wonderful Mba experience

IIM Kashipur is one of the top business schools with an IIM tag. It has wonderful pieces of infrastructure with a new campus started recently. The hostel facilities are good. Only the roads to the old campus are not good. The faculty and course curriculum are up to my expectations. The participation of the students in various events makes the college stand out.

Hilarious journey of Learning by Doing

#IIMInTheNorth One of the coolest colleges I have seen. It is at par with top B-schools in India, with excellent course structure, high standard faculty, and brilliant student crowd. The support of alumni was experienced from day 1. The infrastructure needs to be improved, with internet facility being the biggest drawback. The approach road from railway station also needs to be restored. Apart from these glitches, the college is a very good culture to dwell in.

Awesome and Lots of learning

IIM Kashipur has been doing consistently well in every area whether it be academics, sports or placements. Although it was started just five years back but, even in such a short span of time it has progressed a lot and is constantly progressing at a fast pace. It is growing in all perspective. IIM Kashipur is the 1st IIM located in a tier 3 city. Since, it is located near the Rudrapur Industrial Belt, because of which students get direct exposure to the industry. Not just education, IIM Kashipur pays full attention to keeping the students in good health by providing the students with best class food with seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables. At IIM Kashipur, full attention is paid to the grooming of its students. The students of IIM Kashipur are good not just in academics but, are adventurous and fun loving and enjoy trips to Jim Corbett National Park (which is just 30 km from Kashipur) and Nainital (which is just 50 km from Kashipur) as Kashipur is located in the lap of “Mother Nature”.

Life of a PGP II at IIM Kashipur

After the strenuous and demanding first year, I am already a semester into the second year. It feels great to be in the second year, after all, I earned it. Life in the first year was tough and came at a bit of a shock. I come from an engineering background and having taken the assignments’ deadline in those days to be not serious, I came to know quickly that the deadlines at IIM are to be taken seriously. If the deadline is 11.59.59 pm it means 11.59.59 pm, not a second more. Punctuality and discipline are the backbones of our institution. Even we have a biometric to record our attendance timing and we cannot afford to be late. Attendance is taken very seriously here (again a major lifestyle change from engineering). Through endless assignments, cases, sleepless nights finally I am in second here. In the midst of all this demanding first year, I had fun too. There are so many events that you can take part in, so much to learn that you don’t feel exhausted after a while and you kind of enjoy it and even miss it. IIM Kashipur is an extremely great place to be. Besides, the great learning environment, the campus is quite beautiful. It cannot have been placed in a more beautiful setting. With greenery all around us, the campus is just a mere 30 km from Jim Corbett and 60kms from Nainital. With such a great industry exposure that you feel that you have learnt so much about the industry. People from various MNCs come to make us aware of the new trends in the industry and so much more. On a more light note, we have our own fridge and washing machine on each floor at our hostel. The mess is handled by students so the food is comparatively better than any other mess that I have eaten.

A world of new experiences

The revered IIM culture is already a part of folklore and there is plenty of exploring here. The rigour is where you challenge yourself at each and every moment. The academic focus is very high with a dedicated and knowledgeable faculty and staff. The industry exposure is good and the student evolves with time with a value addition. With a slight improvement in infrastructure, there is everything sorted out.

Good college but facilities should be improved

IIM Kashipur is a top management school at par with other IIMs but the location and facilities overpower the goodwill of the institute. The faculty is very professional and well known in diverse subjects like Operations, Marketing, Organisational Behaviour, etc. It has the fair infrastructure for the standards of an IIM and the hostel amenities could be improved a lot. Gym and sports facilities are not at all good. But academics wise it is a very good college.

Beautiful College Life in IIM Kashipur

IIM Kashipur is a very prestigious b-school, with a good record of 5 years in management studies. Being an IIM it has very good placement record in both summer internships and job placements. The faculty is very friendly and have great knowledge. The infrastructure is okay and the roads to approach should be improved as it is very bad roads from station to campus. Overall the college life is fantastic.

Best infrastructure and pedagogy

I experienced a better infrastructure after coming here as I had a perception that the college was new and lacked facilities. We had a permanent campus which was fully operational and a residential hostel that catered to our needs. The faculties were strict when it came to submissions and deadlines and made us reach the extreme of our skills.

A very good college with the tag of IIM

IIM Kashipur is one of the 19 IIMs in India and is in a very good place, with industrial area nearby and the hill stations around it. The college got its new campus recently and the infrastructure is more than good. Th only problem is the internet connectivity, which is very slow at times. The faculty is very experienced and provide the students with great insights. within just 2 months of joining the college, I could feel I'm in a very lucky place indeed.

Prioratize, manage and learn

One can get lots of opportunities to develop their management skills here. Faculties are ready to help anytime. The best part is about the activities which happen at least once in every 2-3 weeks. This act as a stress buster for the students who are usually occupied by the academics, projects, and assignments. Rigour keeps everyone busy. But the person who masters the skill of time management can sail through the busy schedule easily. And yes, this 2-year course make you realise that SLEEP IS LUXURY. Also, it teaches you to prioritise the things. Placements are pretty good with an average package of 12 LPA. Since , the institute is completing 5 years in 2016, there is a great chance of more companies coming for this placement season.

Fun being hectic

The college life is full of rigor. But if one knows how to manage time well, the two-year course can be enjoyable. The core faculties are expertise in their respective field. The institute has two campuses. The new campus is spread over large area. Though the construction of it is not completed yet, the academic block, mess, and the hostels are functional and one batch is already shifted there. Situated in the vicinity of nature, the cool environment attracts the students. Explorers have the great opportunity here as there are many places worth visiting. The combination of Curriculum and fun helps as the stress buster.

College which stands by its motto

From the day the results have been announced, it has been a wonderful journey through out the admission process of IIM's. IIM Kashipur has always been resounding from the start as it was organizing CAT this year. Although located in a remote location as compared to other IIM's, it places itself uniquely near to a well known industrial hub of India-Rudrapur, with plenty of road connectivity to Delhi and other nearby Cities, Kashipur gives us unique experience of rural life, which I believe gives a different perspective of MBA education. IIM Kashipur pretty much known for its Operations and Marketing and the director himself who won Best teacher in South Asia heading operations, and one of best faculties in India for marketing, it is a paradise for people interested to pursue career in both these streams. so i myself got my admission in this college and now firmly believe this is the best decision i took in my life. During Admission itself we were given many uphill tasks to get to know the rigor of IIM and its culture. Our seniors were very much helpful in the early days during induction as they guided us to know it. The striking Feature of IIM Kashipur is that everything in the college is student driven including amenities like mess and Infrastructure; this pretty much justifies the motto of the college "Learning by Doing". So any issues facing can actually solved with a simple discussion with your peers. The faculty serves as a back bone with highly reputed and experienced professors teaching us. And frequent Industry Interactions and guest lectures keeps us abreast of happenings in the Industry. The college also gives gives you an opportunity of be part of the system with various clubs and committees. Here I got to learn many attributes that a MBA candidate should have pretty much serving the motto of our college. Hostels and Infrastructure is pretty good and are able to cater all our needs. Also as new campus has started being functional, it provides you state of art Infrastructure comparable to the best in the country. We have frequent sports meets and all indoor games and even taekwondo for aspirants as to have a sound body. To conclude, I'm sure this will be the best part of my life.

Decent college with a huge potential.

It is not the best new IIM, but has the potential, the main constraint to its growth is its location, though this has not stopped the best faculties to teach at the institute. Talking about infrastructure, the new campus is 75% ready, the senior batch lives in the new campus whereas the current batch in the old campus.

The deadlines are the biggest issue but give the maximum fun

The best thing about the college is the faculty and the rigor they make you go through. All the faculties are experienced and motivated to teach. Most of them also have corporate experience and that is very useful in a management college. As for the negatives, the biggest issue is connectivity, although our management tries it's best to make sure it doesn't hamper us much. Being an IIM, we are much better suited to tackle this challenge than others.

A very good college for a mba degree

IIM Kashipur is a second generation IIM with very good infrastructure and faculty. The place might be a little remte but the resources have been efficiently utilised by the institute. The tag of IIM is more than enough these days, and the value the institute is providing is a plus point. The alumni is very supportive and there are many entrepreneurs in the batches that left. And I feel lucky to be in a place like IIM Kashipur.

My journey at IIM in the North.

When I got admission in IIM Kashipur people asked me 'where is kashipur'? and I could just say 'somewhere in Uttrakhand' But now when I am here I realised that it is near to most dense industrial zone of the country. The place is plethora for explorers with Jim Corbett and Nainital as a weekend gateway and well connected with a capital of the country through roads and railways. Talking about the 'IIM in the North' classrooms are beyond just management concepts and assignments and projects forces us to put them into practice. Yes, 'Rigour' is the culture here but I have seen this push me beyond my limits, mould me and transform me into what I am today. Future is bright here.

The best one can get

Institute has got one of the best faculties. The college life is bit rigorous. But that's what helps one to develop the skill of time management. A ride to Jim Corbett National Park, Nainital and other places which are nearby to Kashipur is a treat to Bikers and nature lovers. The new campus is functional from this year with one batch. It has got one of the best hostels. And yes, the mess food is far better than my previous college.The Average package for the previous batch was approx 12 LPA.

Academically challenging

The college is located in one of the most beautiful locales. There are a number of pristine locations nearby for weekend getaways. These getaways help you wind down once in a while after the academic rigor that you go through. The college has good faculty and infrastructure, it is located in the industrial belt and it can further make use of it. There are a number of live projects that the college carries out with the industry. The student diversity though is abysmal. The academic rigor does help the student and improves the profile to a great extent.

A Complete package of what an MBA

The Journey from a student life to corporate sector and then back to a culture which is an amalgamation of both student life and corporate exposure has been one of the best experience so far. An institute which nurtures the would-be managers/entrepreneurs to go out and make a difference ,Faculty who always ensure that we are challenged at every step ,staff who ensure that our stay here is pleasant and Last but not the least,Friends who always support you,push you to give your best so that you excel in each endeavour ,Also the team work that each of us do from case study competitions to sport events is simply amazing. Kashipur has an advantage of being situated amidst nature and industrial setup of Rudrapur. This unique setup provides students with various advantages from getting an opportunity to visit these industries to relaxing on the weekends amidst nature. All the above factors combined with the new permanent campus of IIM Kashipur make IIM Kashipur the place to be for any aspirant who looks for a holistic management education. The institute is privileged to have a Director who is ambitious and effective in his vision for our institute. Its a matter of pride for each student of this institute that IIM Kashipur is one of the first Institute among the new IIMs to move into its very own permanent campus.This new campus of around 200 acres is equipped with all the state of art facilities to make management education on par with some of the greatest institutes. Furthermore,IIM Kashipur also has a high faculty-student ratio .The faculty of this institute challenge students at each and every step to bring out their best in applying various management concepts in day to day activities to various complex case studies that we face in our curriculum. Lastly,it would do no justice if I don't give due credit to the hostel life here at IIM Kashipur where Major part of management concepts are applied. From , managing Group studies to handling various Club/Committee assignment. Overall,my 2-month-old journey so far at IIM Kashipur has been a very enriching experience where each day is a challenge and I look forward to facing these challenges which help me learn on developing myself both professionally as well as personally.

Life at IIM Kashipur

The happiest moment of my life was when I got an email confirming my admission at IIM Kashipur. For a person who had done his under graduation from an infamous college but now travelling to one of the best Business Schools in India, was an ecstatic journey he had made so far. After reaching to IIM Kashipur all his fantasy came to reality, mesmerizing campus, single occupancy hostel and every other premium facilities were available for him. The kind of pedagogy being followed here taught him so much in 6 weeks which he had failed to learn in past 3 years during his BBA. The only strain he had when he arrived was the fee structure. But the moment he landed in IIM campus, banks came from all directions to provide loans at rates as cheap as 9.40% per annum. To conclude, the boy is more than happy for being here and will enjoy every second of his life while he will be here.

Life at IIM Kashipur

IIM Kashipur is situated precisely on the borders of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. It is like 6 hours far from Delhi but let not this fact stop you from wondering that it is "out of reach". It was established in the year 2011, with the sole motto of encouraging youths into entering the managerial field. to began with, the hostels are pretty simple and nothing special can be mentioned about it. Hostel has 3 floors and each room has double occupancy. there are mainly 3 hostels namely, H1, H2, and H3. But since the seniors have moved on to the new campus, H3 is vacant. H1 is the main hostel as it has got auditorium in its compound. It has got the basketball court, TT table, Gymnasium, Healthcare facility and Volleyball court. The best part here is that all the rooms are of single occupancy and the hostel is a mixture of both boys and girls. H2 has got a very spacious lawn where there is the special "night canteen" which runs till o clock in the morning (and believe me it's almost full anytime!). Apart from this, H2 has got a reading room , a meeting room, and a TT table. All the rooms out here are of double occupancy and it is an "all boys hostel". Coming to the food part, the food here is a bit above average but since, we students gets bored of eating the veggies cooked in the same masala (yes, even chicken tastes like a kofta here!) these people keep a special menu at the end if every month. The cleanliness and hygiene are taken care of very well and very well regulated. The main academic building is 2kms away from H2 and 1 km from H1 and students have got a special bus running throughout the day especially for their commutation. The main academic building is very spacious and is filled with lush greenery. The classrooms are outside the main academic block and are quite spacious. Each classroom is air conditioned having two projectors, one LED television, microphone and speaker system and sliding boards system. Coming to the academic part, studies here are very hectic and rigorous (all thanks to IIM L for being our mentor). The average sleeping hours of students out here is 4.5 to 5 hours and dark circles are quite a common scenario over here. Students are exposed to various assignments, case studies (which comes especially from Harvard and Kellogs-Mellon) and various competitions throughout the day. Overall the life is quite competitive but to compensate we have these lovely locations like Haridwar, Jim Corbett National Park, Dehra Dun, Nainital, and Bhimtal. Various clubs like Cycling, Photography, and Motorcycle clubs are actively participating in the daily trips over here and make sure you don't miss any location for the next two years of your life. After all, you are at IIM In the North!
