What Students Say
Likes
- IIM Bodhgaya is a comparatively newer IIM and therefore I am witnessing its growth as an institute of national importance. The committees and clubs at IIM BG are very active and help you learn a lot of hard skills.
- The atmosphere at IIM is very alike to corporates and therefore we there are also getting accustomed to office culture. Schedules are hectic and are preparing us for long sitting hours.
- Campus is fully equipped with high tech library, class rooms and other facilities and is filled with lush green plants and tress and also offer various sports activities.
Dislikes
- The placements are still low as compared to other Tier 1 colleges.
- The fact that it is still considered to be a baby IIM by everyone despite being operational for a decade.
- Exam schedule is tedious and I believe it could be relaxed a lot more if scheduling of classes in a day is managed properly. We usually have 2 exams everyday for a week with no prep leave causing mental fatigue and exhaustion.
