    The reality is that the 1cr package is a mirage.. Maybe one or two who are exceptionally talented might get it.. But it is very very rare..

    Hi.. Given that the mean package at the IIMs are around 21 lakhs per annum, i'm not sure if pay package wise taking time to study at IIMs will help.. However, if you are looking for a learning experience.. Then opt for the IIMs.. Hope this helps.. All the best :)

    04:41 PM

  • Profile Picture Niteen Bali

    @Aniket, lyf at IIMC isnt as hectic as to sleep for oly 3 hrs. lol. Infact today I slept for 12 hrs. IIMC has a bohemian reputation of encouraging students to explore individuality. Hence, in second year you get loads of free time to explore your interests

    04:41 PM

  • Profile Picture Aniket Aniket

    Thanks Niteen..request you to guide on above question

    04:42 PM

  • Profile Picture Amanpreet Singh

    The resume prep tips etc. would be extensively covered once you enter the campus. IIM's have a well defined process for resume making , verification etc. so you need not bother about it much. For now just focus on getting in to your college of choice first.

    04:42 PM

  • Profile Picture Vivek Mandal

    @aniket aniket - IB roles are few in IIMs and usually people with Fin background or people with very good acads (and college) get a shortlist. If you want to build a resume for IB take few Fin courses like CFA etc. However, good acads is a necessary condition.

    04:44 PM

    @jivanshu nopes. Even the supporting staff is acquainted with Hindi. That is never a concern

    05:03 PM

  • Profile Picture Amanpreet Singh

    @aniket it isn't. You have companies visiting the campus looking for people with 3+ years of work ex and you have laterals as well. Our batch has a lot of people with similar work ex range, so an experience of 4 years is no way a negative thing.
