Anaika Verma's Review on Indian Institute of Management, [IIM] Calcutta

Great Faculty with relevant industry experience. Excellent quality course material.

Projects both individual and group are great learning experience. Guest Faculty from the industry are often invited for further guidance to students.

A number of scholarships sponsored by different companies like Aditya Birla Group, Ratan Tata Trust, T. Thomas Scholarship sponsored by HUL, OP Jindal Engineering & Management Scholarship are available for the deserving students on the basis of merit and various criteria stipulated by the Sponsors. NTPC awards merit scholarships for deserving SC/ST/PWD students based on the PGP-I result. Government of India also sponsors Merit Scholarship for SC/ST students based on their performance at the time of admissions.

There are a number of prizes/awards sponsored by the Institute and various organizations for awarding to meritorious students on the basis of their first and second year results. Some prizes are also awarded to students at the Annual Convocation for certain outstanding extra curricular activities on the recommendation of the Students’ Council.

As a community the students are well represented through the Student Council that acts as the interface between the students and the Faculty & the administration. There is close interaction of the students with the faculty members and discussions extend beyond the realms of academic pursuits. There is plenty of scope for indulging oneself in extra-curricular activities through the plethora of clubs and special interest groups that strive to serve as outlets for the zeal and enthusiasm of the student community. There are a variety of sports, cultural, business and literary events throughout the year. There is something for everyone. These activities not only help in channelling the student’s energy positively but also ensure development of holistic and well-rounded future managers.

One of the most compelling features of life at Joka is the scenic beauty in the campus. One’s day begins with the early morning chirping of the various species of birds and ends reflecting at the depths of the lakes that adorn the campus. The greenery is omnipresent and continues to inspire generations of entrepreneurs and business leaders.
