We live in a parallel world Khel gaon. We have the best hostels and even though there is no campus. it's all managed quite well. The pedagogy is quite good. Professors from XLRI and other IIMs come down to teach us. The placements are pretty amazing too. We have won almost all the inter BSchool competitions and it's no longer a 'new' IIM for us

Life at IIM Ranchi is very fast pace . One always has something on their plate. ONE DAY YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF BURNING midnight oil to complete your assignments due on the next day while on other days you will spend your days in participating in various fun events organised by various clubs and committees. The seniors here are very helpful. Whenever I seek for help then someone is always there to help me. This is true not just for the seniors but also with the faculties.

It's a pleasure to have college life after work experience.It's the perfect example how one should feel at management college/B-Schools. IIM Ranchi has given me homely feeling. I feel so happy and at the same time grateful towards it. I have collected a treasure of great experiences from here. I have got better exposure to industry through various live projects and summer internship. Though right now the infrastructure is lacking, the college and students collectively have tried to overcome these challenges.

A college is a great place if you want to garner knowledge and have a good exposure. The placements are pretty decent as compared to other new IIMs and though it does not have its own campus the infrastructure has never been an issue. The faculties are also very good and one gets the hand knowledge due to several projects and assignments. The student crowd is also pretty good and diversity is maintained. One also gets the opportunity to work in teams which help later in the organization.

Even though it is a comparatively new institute but it is, in my opinion, the best college in Eastern India in terms of growth rate and competitiveness. There is a busy but cheerful atmosphere and there is a myriad of activities in which students can and have taken part and won accolades for the college on a national and internal level.

In the era where management education has become more centred on the Return on Investment, its getting tougher for students to choose which way to go. In such a scenario, IIM Ranchi has been hitting the bull’s eyes as it not just caters to a pocket-savvy education but has successfully been steering away through the name tag of a so-called ‘New IIM’. Under the guidance of our renowned faculties, our students have been set out to achieve glory and more through getting the most coveted of placements and making a mark for themselves and institute b winning and grabbing accolades in various high-profile business competitions over the years , thus proving a point too many showcasing their acumen to corporate world. The life here at IIM Ranchi is subject to numerous factors which light up the lives. First of all, the comparatively lesser batch-strength giving us a great scope to know each other closely, thereby forming a closely-knit bond ad getting familiar with different cultures once alien to us. Secondly, the activities which keep going on throughout the year keeps us on toes and provides a fresh opportunity to learn something new every day. To top that , the scenic beauty that prevails near the campus is something to watch out for and definitely lifts up the mood in case its not so. The various clubs, committees and SIGs work day and night to make sure our lives in the academic and non-academic arena go hassle-free. The intelligentsia of our country coming here to forge a bright future has served and co-existed with one and all in many ways, and gets the same in return, thus forming memories to relish or a lifetime. The journey has been wonderful so far and it continues to be the same ahead.

From the moment I entered IIM Ranchi, I was delighted by the beautiful lush surroundings and the cool weather of the city. It is a home away from home for me now and I have made friends for life. It has helped me a lot to grow as an individual and as someone who has never been outside of Mumbai, it really helped me change and see things from a variety of perspectives.

We do not have a permanent campus but the kind of hostel facility provided to us is no match to any other IIM's. Single rooms for every student with attached bathrooms. For corporate exposure, various Guest lectures are being organised by the placement committee inviting marketing and finance head to address students. The kind of atmosphere provided in our college is very suitable for the overall development of the individual. Whether you have an interest in studies, sports or cultural, you can do what ever you want. We have clubs, committees, and SIGs. We also get some of the best faculties from all over India, that I would say serves as an advantage over having few permanent faculties. Although it has disadvantages as well but advantages are far more. Students in our college do have different backgrounds ranging from Marine to economics. In a nutshell, I can say that you will enjoy your 2 years here at the same time learn a lot. And as far as placements are concerned we have some of the best recruiters from different industries.

IIM Ranchi is a world class student-centric institute, and has been consistently leading the pack of new IIM's in every dimension that can be measured, be its placements, extracurriculars, professors, or method of teaching adopted. Over the past 6 years, IIM Ranchi has been consistently brewing some of the managers in the country, many of whom are in respectable positions in the corporate world today. One primary reason IIM Ranchi has been able to secure itself a place above the rest of the newer IIM's is because of the continuous inflow of top quality students with humongous potential. These students have been instrumental in moulding out a niche culture for the institute, which has been distinguishing it from the pack. The student-centric nature of the institute and the never dying energy that the students here possess have yielded fruit in the form of rewards and recognitions from corporate competitions. Students from IIM Ranchi have won top class corporate competitions like Deloitte Maverick, Mahindra War Room, RPG Blizzard, etc by beating the likes of IIM-A,IIM-B,IIM-C, XLRI, etc. This itself is proof for the kind of students that study here, and of its culture of striving for the best. The institute also has a series of well-maintained world class hostel facilities to boast about. Any student from IIM Ranchi, you can bet, will smirk at least once, upon seeing even the best of the hostel rooms of any other college in the country, because they have been used to nothing but the best. Anyway, I wouldn't want to boast about infrastructure much because that's not what I'd like my institute to be known by. Academic wise, IIM Ranchi again has a set of brilliant professors with stellar qualifications teaching a wide array of subjects. Apart from this, we also have guest lectures hand picked from all over the country, flying down to Ranchi, and many of them have personally complimented us for being nothing short of the best, after reviewing our performance in class. Also, The student-centric culture of the institute is something that I would like to specially mention, in this review. It helps us, the students learn to be real life managers, and solve real-life problems, which we wouldn't have been able to, otherwise. The students play a crucial role in anything and everything that is happening in the campus, right from academics to extracurriculars, to everyday routine work, to conducting fests, competitions, club activities, sports competitions, placement related work, alumni and international relations, sponsorships, basically anything and everything that could happen in a premier institute. So, I'd like to conclude by saying that IIM Ranchi is one place u would want to go to if you think you are one of the best minds in the country, and if you want to make a really good manager out of yourself, and would like to indulge in everyday learning rather than just being the textbook worm.

It is a great place to be in. The hostel facilities are one of the best in all IIMs. In addition there is the awesome Ranchi weather, makes you feel that you're on vacation every morning when you look out of your window. IIM Ranchi has some of the country's best professors visiting our campus for lectures. Having less number of in-house faculty is actually boon. Most of our teachers are from IIM C/L, XLRI etc. But it's not just the classroom knowledge that benefits you, the batch comprises of a mix of people from different professions and educational background. There are ample of opportunities spread around, 2 years is insufficient to catch them all. You meet the national level athletes, musicians, highly motivated individuals who win national level competitions. Apart from academics, there's always something fun going around in the hostel common rooms. And we celebrate every festival, with the decorations, sweets, dhol and DJ. There's a club or an interest group for all kinds of geeks, you'll definitely find one or would end up creating a new one. And then there are those batch parties, the best part of the life at an IIM. All this is a must-not-miss for any person who yearns for a slice of life! However, there are a few struggles too associated with new IIMs - no campus, boarding buses to reach the college from hostel, things scattered and not perfectly organized, lack of recognition when compared to the older IIMs, alumni strength, So you might have to build up everything from the scratch to start off something new and worthy. This will require a lot of hard work and persuasion. But nonetheless, of all the new/newer IIMs, IIM Ranchi is still the best. If you believe that you have it in you to do what it takes to achieve your goals, this is a perfect place to start off your journey as a b-school student.

IIM Ranchi is a great place to be in. Its rapid growth and popularity have made it as one of the most coveted institutions of the country. The only constraint IIM Ranchi has is infrastructure but that has been optimised to fulfill all the needs of the students. College life is very enjoyable. All credits to the students. The life is filled with fun and frolic right from late night batch parties to DJ Nights. We have mega events (Agon, Rush, Tedx, Radix) that attract hundreds of participants from premier B-Schools. These events not only serve as a platform to showcase talent but also increase the visibility of IIM Ranchi in the corporate. This has a favourable impact on placements. Placements are what makes IIM Ranchi a preferred destination for many. If you are competent enough, you will never be disappointed. IIM Ranchi has seen a consistent rise in average CTC right from its inception. The hostel facilities, I would say are one of the best among all IIMs (including ABCILK). The rooms have single occupancy, with attached washrooms. The best part of the faculty is that most of them are visiting ones. We get to learn from one of the best professors in the country for a particular domain. The student crowd is awesome here. Since the batch size is small you get to interact with most of them. Some become friends for life. Overall, it is one of the best places to spend two years of your life. You will have life time experience.

CAT aspirants look on certain parameter while selecting a B-school like placements, faculties, infrastructure, exposure, events. As an insider, let me throw some light on each of the parameters. 1. Placements: Average placements for 2016 pass out batch was more than 15 lakhs, which is probably one of the best among top B-schools and higher than all new IIMs and few older IIMs as well. 2. Faculties: We are proud of our faculties since we have faculties who are the best in the country in that particular subject. We have around 100 plus visiting faculties who take regular classes. The industry exposure that every faculty at IIM Ranchi provides is what makes it worth studying here. 3. Infrastructure: We are operating from a leased Govt building. But the facilities are at par with what anyone gets in their permanent campus. The single occupancy hostel rooms at Khelgaon is the best thing that one can get, and probably few B-schools provide single occupancy fully furnished rooms. We have free access to world class Sheikh Bhikari stadium which is less than a half kilometer from the hostel. 4. Exposure: A lot of corporate have included us in their competition challenges and we are winners of many such corporate competitions at national level. Name any competition and we are the finalist or winner at the national level. For example, Deloitte Maverick (Winner), CFA challenge Regional Winner, Axis Moves (Finalist), Mahindra War Room (Winner) and a lot more. 5. Events: We conduct four major flagship national events: AGON- The Management Fest, RUSH- The Sports and Cultural Fest, TEDx, RADIX- The Management Conclave. The reach of these events is huge and more than 200 B-school participate in these events. Apart from this event, in 2016 we hosted the first ever Inter Eastern IIM Sports meet in the Sheikh Bhikari Stadium which is located near our hostel

A typical day at IIM Ranchi starts with an adrenaline rush.Waking up at 8:00 for an 8:15 bus, we try to optimize those 15 minutes to the best . From getting ready to grabbing a bite while catching a glimpse of “Friends” in the mess, every day is a race to catch the last bus. The morning Bus is our discussion and planning room where we read the cases, prepare for the quizzes,presentations and what not!!! For the classes, well, we have learnt to increase our attention span. The 15- minutes breaks after every class come as refreshing packets for all of us, in which we crowd the cafeteria and fight until the last minute to get coffee.At the end of the classes, the bus back to Khelgaon is a joyride for us; we talk, we sing and we sleep, it's our respite from the rigorous pressures of the day. The moment we enter our rooms, the leverage of single rooms accompanied by our own personal touch to our rooms be it the ambience, the poster outside the gate or the bob Marley music gives us a feel home message. But the recreational journey does not end here and the gym and music room awaits us and by the time we are all fresh and energetic, we find our project groups waiting for us in the cafeteria. The conversations , brainstorming and leg pulling all go simultaneously with endless coffee breaks.But the outcome is always a happy one as the product of each tireless night is an amalgamation of ideas and innovations.But a new morning in the IIM Ranchi campus brings in an all new challenge with the new set of ideas an all new perspective.

The level of teaching is good and up to date. Placements are good for PGDM students as compared to new IIM's. The Hostel are running in a society complex where we have a good combination of social and student life. There are some problems with the availability of local market. We have a very good college culture. First important thing is the mess food which is good. The other facilities in a hostel are available as per requirements. The hostel is 10 km from college, there are plenty of college buses for transportation. The teaching is supported by cases and projects which increase the level of understanding. Overall experiences are good. There are some problems with the campus land allotment but this will soon be a matter of time. The current education in college is running as per the standards. There are many club and committee. The other courses running in this institute are PGDMHRM, PGEX, FPM. This FPM program is started in 2012. The first batch is about to pass out from the institute. Overall this is a national importance institute to study as well as personality development.

IIM Ranchi despite not having its own campus leaves no opportunities for students to excel in any field be it corporate events or sports or any other extracurricular activity. Being in IIM Ranchi one gets to experience a wide talent pool of students from different domains which helps one to learn from others as well as stay motivated. To enhance the Corporate Exposure, the dedicated Placement Committee leaves no chance in inviting the Corporate Leaders from different sectors and domains so that the students can interact with them and be well updated with the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead in the industry. Apart from this, we have a very good faculty and also visiting faculty from the top B-Schools including IIM Calcutta, IIM Bangalore, TISS Mumbai, IIFT Delhi to name a few.

Excellent permanent faculty and guest faculty. There is a perception that college which does not have a permanent campus does not have much to boast about. But we learn in constraints which make us better managers of the future. That 30 min of a bus ride to college every day gives us ample time to finish off pre-reading required before attending the classes. We can surely boast that we have excellent, serene hostel campus at Khelgaon which is truly a home away from home.

Being the best among the new IIMs, IIM Ranchi attracts the next best crowd after the older IIMs. This ensures that we have a great peer learning, one of the important prerequisites of management education. With a host of outstanding faculties, both internal and visiting ones, we are assured of a strong academic foundation. This gets reflected from the various B-School competitions that we win. We receive a good number of industry stalwarts, from across all domains, visiting the campus and delivering lectures & seminars which ensure that we get significant exposure to the corporate world. Academic infrastructure is a bit constrained since its a rented facility and also a bit far from the hostels but presently just enough for our operations. Needless to say, the hostel facilities are awesome.

We have an amazing hostel facility ,though the college infrastructure would need some introspection and upgrade.A full time director would help the college to enhance and move towards achieving its vision at a faster pace. Faculty members and administrative staff are very supportive . We have good online library support and we have access to well known data bases like CMIE Prowess and Bloomberg.

Being a 6-year-old established back in 2010, Indian Institute of Management Ranchi has come a really long way. It is the 9th IIM and 3rd among the new ones. It has already become a popular choice for Management student aspirants with many students preferring it over other good but private B-schools. It was mentored by IIM Calcutta for its initial years. Operating out of a temporary campus in Suchna Bhawan in Ranchi, it has many infrastructural issues. Given just 2 floors in a Government building, is what IIM Ranchi has as 'college campus'. It's quite hilarious to read outside the escalator "IIM Ranchi in 5th Floor". This poses an issue if you wish to address the whole batch, as no classroom has the capacity to hold them. The students are required to again board the bus to nearby places for holding any batch classes or Pre-placement talks etc. This is the major setback in the way of this otherwise great college. The hostel accommodation is 30 mins away from college, which means regular playing by bus for the classes. It is located on the outskirts of the city and has connectivity issues in case you miss the bus. But the facilities provided are good with single occupancy big rooms with amazing views. Ranchi as a city has a great weather all throughout the year. It has a good industry exposure with many good names already visiting the campus for Summer Placements and final placements. There are many guest lectures where the students get an opportunity to interact with the industry leaders in finance, marketing, operations, and HR. There is a bustling college life as students bond over Group assignments and tasks every day. As is a known fact with every B-school, sleeps goes for a toss. There can be days when after sleeping at 6 am to wake up at 7 am and go for the classes. Worse still, you may have to pull all-nighters at times. You already become a good manager juggling academics, extra cultural activities, parties, personal life etc. So although being a new IIM with infrastructural issues, IIM Ranchi is doing very well. It boasts of many good minds from the country and its alumni base is expanding across the country performing well in their lives. Few years down the line, it will be at par with the best B-schools in the country.

Though we don't have our own campus, but the administration provides the best facilities that should be provided at an IIM. We have the access to the best faculties of the country. The list of visiting faculties will reflect that. We are provided Live Projects by them and the best classroom experience. No one will ever regret coming to this college. Talking about the hostel facilities , it is very much comparable to the top notch IIMs of the country. All in all, IIM Ranchi is a great experience.

Shortcomings first. The Infrastructure of IIM Ranchi is for sure below par at least in terms of College Infrastructure, but that is pretty much about it. Other than that, IIM Ranchi literally leaves no stone unturned, be it in terms of visiting faculty or Guest Lectures by some top corporate people. Hostel Facilities of IIM Ranchi are simply brilliant with a single person single room occupancy policy. Placement too is the best amongst all the new IIMs.

IIM Ranchi throws at you a bag mixed of challenges, deadlines, parties, clubs, committees, guest lectures and the list can go on. Despite operating from a temporary campus, IIM Ranchi has made a mark for itself in a very short span of time, which looks like a distant dream for many other B-schools in the country. The seniors are really helpful and yes the hotel rooms are too good. IIM Ranchi tries to bring the best out of you. Opportunities are offered on a platter. This has been possible due to our in-house as well as visiting faculty from top B-schools in the country. The extracurricular and co-curricular activities would not let you take rest. And yes we have a separate club which conducts parties (read rave parties). Having said this, the program is very rigorous and helps you in identifying you true worth.

IIM Ranchi is one of the premier institutes in India. Although it is in its sixth year, still it has laurels and achievements to boast of. IIM Ranchi is having one of the best hostel facilities in India. It houses its hostel in Khelgaon Housing Complex of Ranchi. The hostel is about 10kms from the Institute building, Suchana Bhavan. Bus services are there which ply as per requirements put by a student-run committee. To enhance corporate exposure IIM Ranchi invites industry stalwarts for guest lectures & workshops. My life at IIM Ranchi has been enjoyable so far because of its plethora of activities both cultural and academic. Our Summer Placements are round the corner now. Hostel facilities include single occupancy rooms and attached bathrooms. Each flat houses four large rooms and some rooms have a big balcony! Our faculty is very knowledgeable and expert in their domains. They help the students to build their concepts from scratch as well as they are available for any other issues other than academics. The gender diversity in IIM Ranchi is good. Students from various backgrounds come here and study and share their experiences from work. Our Institute is very much affordable for aspiring management students with fees lower than maximum IIMs. If you are willing to join an IIM, come to Ranchi to experience humility and discover your true potential.
