Course Curriculum Overview :
The curriculum is highly relevant and has practical implications. I enjoy studying the diverse courses that are offered. Lots of cases are discussed and a lot of discussions are conducted. Exam frequency is okay considering we have only mid-term and end-term exams.
Fees and Financial Aid :
The tuition fee is as given on the official IIM Jammu website and does not change. The cost of education may seem high however it is the cost of an IIM degree. Scholarships are available to the students which are directly handled by the IPM Office. No campus employment is there.
Campus Life :
Campus life is joyous. IIM Jammu has an annual cultural fest called the EMPYREAN. It also has sports competitions regularly. The library has many books and online databases for the students to access. The campus is student-led, i.e., student clubs and committees run most of the work and are the mediators between administration and students. These see high participation and belonging to a club or committee as a matter of pride.
Admission :
The admission process is simple. One has to appear for the annual JIPMAT exam and use the scores to apply to IIM Jammu or IIM Bodhgaya. The institute then releases a merit list that gives a list of meritorious students who can get admission. It also releases subsequent waitlists. Admission can be secured by depositing the admission fee. Reservation benefits are in accordance with the government policy. Moreover, girls get 5 % weightage.
Faculty :
Faculty to student ratio is good. The IIM Jammu faculty members have expertise in their fields and are interactive. However, the shortage of faculty members causes an issue as many subjects are taught by visiting faculty. Their pedagogy is different from the IIM style.
