Siddhartha Das's Review on Indian Institute of Management, [IIM] Calcutta
Academics and Faculty
- In the 1st year of the course, the courses are pre-determined and you have a work load of max. 3 classes per day of 1.5 hours each. As part of the evaluation, there are many components - quizzes, projects, assignments and depends on the course and instructor. Since it is an MBA program, the pedagogy is case-based, with cases ranging from all over the world. The peer group and the quality of faculty is excellent, thus making the learning experience an encouraging one.

Academics & Faculty : Classes are from10 AM - 4.30 PM in the first year. In the 2nd year, we choose our own courses, and can choose the schedule. With regards to pedagogy, it is very up to date and the content of all the courses are relevant. The quality of teaching is high where the instructors motivate you to think beyond what is in the text. Since it is an MBA program, most of the learnings is through case-based teachings. The overall experience for me has been intellectually challenging, making me think.
Academics & Faculty : Classes begin at 10:15 a.m. and go on upto 4:15 p.m. Each day we have three classes during this period. Every subject has a different structure like some subjects have surprise quizzes while some subjects don't have any quizzes. Almost all subjects have projects associated with them and they have marks for class participation as well.
