Academics especially economics and finance faculty

Faculty Expertise and Support: Professors are renowned experts in their fields
Vibrant Campus Life: The campus is lively and full of opportunities for extracurricular activities and social interaction

Dislikes

he student body is highly competitive, which can be motivating but also lead to pressure and anxiety.
Limited Work-Life Balance

Campus Life:

Forget just books at IIM C's Joka campus! It's a social smorgasbord. Bond with your batchmates over chai, dance it out at Diwali celebrations or join the Dramatics Club. Clubs? Finance to film, there's one for every passion. Guest lectures from industry titans? Heck yeah! Modern classrooms, green spaces, and delicious food fuel your day. It's a roller coaster, but with lifelong friends by your side. IIM C, buckle up!

IIM Calcutta: Has its pros and cons but you will have the 2 most amazing years of your life!

3.8Helpful

Likes

Campus Life was a key highlight of the MBA experience: There are multiple activities happening at once, the ability to explore so many different things is definitely one of the best parts
Interactions with peers and faculty: You will find some of the smartest people here, with a wide range of experiences and interests. It is really interesting to learn and pick up new things from your peers, courses and teachers

Dislikes

Mess food: Quality was sub-par some of the hostel messes, there were mechanisms to register complaints but the resolution time was too high
Infrastructure: It is one of the oldest MBA colleges therefore infrastructure especially for the hostels is not as expected

Campus Life:

IIM Calcutta treats all of its students like adults, people have the liberty to take their own decisions and the college does not enforce unnecessary rules. There are multiple events that keep happening throughout the year - it is a student-run campus, during the last 3 years a lot of events happened online however that is changing and we saw a lot of events happening offline. We have an annual cultural fest, a marketing fest and a sports fest (IIM A, B, C, L) which was organised by IIM C. People really try to give time to their passion and hobbies outside of academics, there is a strong sports culture (we have all amenities available including a swimming pool and a squash court). There are extracurricular clubs for dance, theatre, singing, art enthusiasts, another club that is unique to IIM C is the pet pals club which is one of the most active clubs wherein students take care of cats, and dogs inside the campus

IIM C: The best MBA experience India has to offer

4.4Helpful

Likes

Campus life and peer group: the chillest IIM, freedom to live life the way you want, a very talented peer group to learn from
Placements: The best across India with space to explore every sector

Dislikes

Hostels: extremely disappointing given the kind of institute IIM C is
Administration: extremely ignorant of problems faced by the student body, stubborn, and resistant to positive change

Campus Life:

Annual fest are there like 7 Lakes Fest, Annual sports fests is also there named Sangharsh (IIM ABCL), C-XL. From what I've heard from my peers, the library is well-equipped in terms of books & journals. The classrooms are extremely comfortable and equipped with all the amenities one can possibly need. IIM C has a vibrant sporting culture with most of the batch participating in at least 1-2 sports. One sees most of the sports facilities being used every evening. The college also offers a wide variety of clubs run wholly by students.

A comprehensive look at IIM Calcutta

4.3Helpful

Likes

Peer Group: As with any B school competitiveness is ingrained into every batch but when folks say that no one is left behind at Joka it is reassuring to know that it is not entirely said for posterity
Campus Culture: A culture which actually focuses on exploring interests and interacting with others over simple academic excellence was both unexpected and welcome.

Dislikes

Hostel Infrastructure: With the exception of LVH each hostel has small rooms and no accommodations for the extremely humid weather. The infra is ancient and liveable is the kindest word that I can use for it.
Placement transparency: With the concentration of power in the hands of place comm. it is very easy to feel like the placement process is not entirely fair for all. There are little to no checks for favouritism too.

Campus Life:

The campus life is something that Calcutta distinguishes itself through when it comes to prestigious B schools. The institute has its flagship festival in the form of 7 Lakes Fest and other major events such as Mandi (a student-run marketplace) but it is honestly the culture of solidarity and amenability which makes this a transformational experience. It is 2 years of being surrounded by some of the brightest minds in the nation in an environment that encourages you to not just compete but also learn from one another. Groups around sports are common and there are clubs and SIGs for almost every mainstream interest/hobby and a few niche ones as well (you can check these out on the institute website). There are plenty of eateries within the campus and Kolkata is a decent enough city if you want something more.

Peer to peer interaction and working in small teams
Various clubs to keep the students engaged

Dislikes

Due to COVID face to face interaction was minimised
Program fees is at the higher end and should be reduced

Campus Life:

Since it was COVID time all of our classes and events were held online including fests and clubs. Students present on campus also participated in these events through online mode only. Peer-to-peer interaction was also hampered due to COVID.

Love the Campus Life
Great Educational System and Placement Process

Dislikes

The administration is slow in responding to issues
The sports facility can still be improved in some certain areas

Campus Life:

There are over 30+ clubs in the institute catering to all the diverse interests of students coming from across different places in the country. Despite a heavy focus on academics, the campus is a highly fun place to be at. There are 4 hostels. A 7 lakes fest is conducted annually imbibing its name from the 7 lakes on the campus. Coming to sports, Sangharsh is conducted between IIMA, B, C, and L in addition to the popular C vs XLRI rivalry. The sports infrastructure isn't fantastic but it still is above par when compared to other major Indian institutes.
