Hello Ma'am may i know how is the teaching quality at IIMR?
02:35 PM
Nikhita Basti
Good Evening Kedar, We have some of the best faculties here at IIM Ranchi. One more fact that I consider as an advantage unique to IIM Ranchi is that we have a lot of visiting faculty from IIM Calcutta. Especially in the second year most of the important electives are taught by the visiting faculties

We have 19 permanent faculty and depending on the kind of electives chosen by the students we usually have around 30 visiting faculty

any exchange program so far ?
03:04 PM
Nikhita Basti
those firms are for both summers and finals. However there are many companies that offer analytics roles which is the first step before entering into consulting. The biggest example was Google

Ranchi is known as the city of waterfalls. We have had many class trips to the waterfalls. There are really great restaurants from mid level to star hotels like Radisson Blue where we hold our TEDx talks and some parties. There are pubs too. But the only downside is that the pubs arenot as good as those which we find in metro cities. I personally miss dance floors here :)
03:18 PM
Nikhita Basti
The normal chain restaurants like KFC, Dominoz, Chocolate Room etc also are available at Ranchi
03:21 PM

hmm ok,, even I like dancing I need to think about IIM-R then ,, ha ha ha,,if I got selected,,just kidding ,, when will permanent campus will come up??
03:22 PM
Nikhita Basti
Most probably it would take at least two more years for the permanent campus to come up. However that has never deterred IIM Ranchi to be one of the best among the new IIMs.
03:24 PM
Nikhita Basti
The hostel facilities here are rated to be one of the best among all the new IIMs and even comparable to some of the old IIMs. Because the location is really scenic and peaceful
03:26 PM
Shubham Jaiswal
how much it will hurt my pocket in two years at IIM-R, including fees, lodging, party, boozing, dating, roaming, and if I took exchange as well, is ROI worth ?
03:27 PM
Nikhita Basti
Being in Ranchi is an advantage because it is not as costly as the metros and still you get to have all the amenities. This year 13.6 lakhs is the fees and other expenses depend on you. However I can vouch for the fact that ROI of IIM Ranchi is the highest of all the IIMs
