IRMA: Not your typical B-school

4.2Helpful

Likes

The village fieldwork segment which is unique to irma's curriculum, offering immersive experiences that provides deep insights
The campus life at IRMA which is vibrant & inclusive.

Dislikes

Being in anand, Gujarat the mess at irma only serves mostly veg food which is a challenge.

Internships Opportunities:

In summer internship companies like v-gaurd, amul, nddb, Gujpro, punjab agro, ey, vedanta come for internship. Generally they offer market research, sales related roles. The stipened vary but the average stipened for two months is around 75k.

The IRMAn experience

4.3Helpful

The curriculum in itself is very different wherein there is a perfect blend of General Management subjects as well as Rural Management subjects as an add on since it is our domain. Subjects like rural society and polity were very enlightening in all.
The 3 day Induction Fieldwork Segment wherein the students are taken to Village in the 3 days of initial week was a very challenging and new experience wherein we were send to different rural parts of Gujarat and it gave a gist of challenges ahead.

The Summer internship placement though it was taken up well by placement committee it being in a time when usually companies have already filled in their internship spots is a disadvantage since we lose the opportunity of going to renowned companies.
As mentioned above the same happens during Final placements also and hence the number of spots offered by many reputed companies fall short thereby lack of opportunities though we have the capabilities to crack interviews for those it's disheartening

The major companies that offered internship were Godrej, ITC , Piramal , Tata Steel , LDC , Wheelocity, Amul , NDDB , NPCI, Kaleidofin, Sea6, . The projects ranged from marketing to finance to operations to development sector projects. There were internship offers from Banas Diary , EY Grant thorton Baif Baer Groupobimbo, Basix , Vedanta , AgriVijay, Agronxt and many other agribased companies. The stipends ranged from 10000 offered by companies like Milkymist and Bigbasket to 100000- 150000 offered by Tata steels Abis etc. There were offers by Elastic run @75000 all this for one month so in actual double the amount. The stipends from diary cooperatives were around 20000-35000. The Development sector like Jal Nigam and all also offered around 65000 per month stipend and also some other Maharashtra based NGOs offered around 45000- 50000 per month. The whole offer is given in PF provided by placement cell having stipend, role and project titles so that it becomes easy for participants .

A fusion of learning and experience

The diverse culture of irma is what I liked after coming to irma . Celebrating New culture and learning about it very exciting and open to everyone.
Second thing was the village fieldwork segment, as a person who has never been to a village it was a very good opportunity for me to deep dive into rural insights explore

Few management issues are there which needs to be taken care of . For eg: there are dogs in the campus which makes life miserable for people who don't like to be around them
The examination office working in terms of scheduling classes , taking exams is a bit off. They need to work upon it

My internship experience is great so far m learning new things about how corporate life works and getting a gist of it as after an year its gonna be this way . Though it felt tough at start but I believe it would be all easy and worth after I complete it . This is the time where you get the most of it . New people, work , communication, how to approach all of this .

The unspoken truth

3.3Helpful

The greenery is a heaven of beauty. Everyncorner you turn reveals a new pocket of naturs beauty from vivrant flower beds, ancient trees.
Diveraity of culture on campus is a vibrant tapestry that enriches the community and makes it truely colourful and helps us to know about the culture.

Students become the experimental subjects in order to teat the teaching ability of the teachers.
Most of the intership traings happen after wvery othwr coleges have worked..so its very late for us.

Every type of role is being given to students and it involves the placement committee that brings the companies to the campus. Their work needs to be improved and they do have to work on finding many other companies which alligns with students interest

My IRMA experience

Culture , classroom, diversity, Village Fieldwork Segment

Language barrier. Can survive without knowing Hindi but knowing will be advantageous

Placement Experience:

Students will get summer placements after 3rd term and final placement will happen around 4th term during January to February. IRMA has good relationship with top recruiters like TATA, Adani, ITC, AMUL etc.. and also several development organizations including NDDB , NGOs are coming for the placements. IRMA is maintaining a record of 100 % placements so far

IRMA & You

Field work and internship in a course merge theory with practice, providing hands-on experience, skill refinement, and career insight. This enriches learning by bridging classroom knowledge with real world application, Preparing students for success
the placement cell is a highly effective cell. With dedicated facility preparing students for the placements and extensive industry connections, students receive guidance and growth. The proactive approach ensures successful transition into careers

The alumni network of IRMA is amazing support system across the career of each individual. The highest package during the 2013 placement was 30 Lakhs

Atmosphere, Students Activities, Academic Block
Village Fieldwork Segment, Summer Internship, Placement

Few of the visiting faculty run courses are not good
Village Fieldwork Segment idea is great, but can be trimmed into a shorter length

Many Internship opportunities you will get starting from Godrej, Amul to various NGOs. After Term II there will be one week long process. You will get all kind of project from Sales and Marketing to Finance.

HONEST EXPERIENCE OF IRMA

4.9Helpful

Experiential learning opportunities where there are field visit opportunities which helped me to apply the learning from the class
The alumni connect and industry connect Irma conducts events with alumni and industry people like ceo, managers

Unlike in the other mba colleges, Irma does not have specialized course like finance, marketing in the second year

The roles in internship are like in marketing it is marketing research majority of the offers inthe internship are based on research and there are many companies from different sector come to campus from FMCG, microfinance, development and the stipend amount is also decent.

IRMA 2024 Graduate review

3.6Helpful

Sports facilities of all the sports available and other clubs
Quality and dedication of faculty for learning of students

Lack of focus on Analytics and statistics
Mess food hygiene and quality and location of the college

Amul,NDDB,Mother Dairy, Dabur, Godrej, ICICI, KOTAK life etc. The other companies keep changing every year however the type of roles remain more or less the same . IT IS USUALLY a market research which is done by travelling and collecting primary data and analysing the data collected to give valuable insights or a sales and marketing project.

IRMA at a glance

4.8Helpful

First thing i liked in this college is its ambience and class room facilities and subject faculty and overall infrastructure.
second thing is its diversity in students. Students from all states are in the campus. That will give you a oppurtunity to make friend and gives a good experience.

The drainage system of the college especially during rainy season.
Sometimes the hectic nature of curicullum especially during exams.

There are a lot of FMCG, Development, Banking, and consultancy companies that offer good intern roles in the marketing and sales department financial trainees roles, and other research-oriented roles in companies like Amul, Mother Dairy, ITC, Dabur, Godrej, NPCI,...Etc. As a 1st year graduate, I am going for an Internship as a Trainee in marketing and sales research. The Highest stipend for this year is 120000 per month with an average stipend of 700000 per month during internship also the college provides 100% opportunities to all the students in different companies. Projects like expansion of their product portfolio and geographical expansion of the industry etc.. for this the interns should do market research to find the need assessment and other potential growth areas of the firm. So by the end of the internship students can find the areas to concentrate on while working for any company. Overall the students are ready for full-time employment in any company.
