Coming from an engineering background during my job felt I did not have the knowledge base to deal with business problems - basic things such as reading financial statements and applying different models to understand the market environment and companies. So I decided to do an MBA which covers different disciplines such as strategy, finance, and marketing which help in understanding and running businesses better. IIM Calcutta's course curriculum was developed with the help of MIT Sloan which is why it is quant-heavy in the 1st year - IIM C is known as the finance campus but you can find some of the most renowned professors and great electives in the field of operations, organisational behavior as well. Overall there are three terms and the number of exams differs depending on the course - there are no surprise quizzes as is done in IIM Ahmedabad, however, courses can have many evaluation components - including class participation, projects, quizzes, midterms and end terms.

The MBA course at IIM Calcutta offers subjects across academic disciplines. They structure it in a way that is relevant to business & management but it retains the core domain knowledge. The faculty is qualified and well-equipped for the class and most classes revolve around a case-based discussion. The faculty-to-student ratio is decent and you get to choose from a wide variety of courses spanning multiple domains in your second year. Second-year classes tend to be in the 40-60 students per class range. The first year is comprised of compulsory courses wherein you're divided into classes of 80. Individual attention can be hard to provide for a class this size but the faculty are always open to your doubts and discussions and all you need to do is reach out via mail or in class to set up a separate meeting. The timeline for term exams and assignments/quizzes is always declared at the beginning of the course. Passing them is not hard at all as long as you adhere to deadlines.

MBA is the flagship program offered by IIM Calcutta and arguably what it is best known for. Some salient details regarding the program are: Lasts two years with each year consisting of three trimesters (terms). First-year follows a fixed curriculum consisting of 48 credits spread over three terms and 1 credit roughly equating to 10 hours of class time. The second year allows for experimentation and is composed entirely of electives chosen by students. Students are organized into 6 sections in their first year and each section usually has a designated professor for each course i.e. the student-to-teacher ratio is roughly 80-to-1 which remains largely the same even in year 2. Professors are excellent and have a lot of leeway in choosing their teaching tools/pedagogy but case-based study is commonly the most prevalent Grading is always relative although professors are able to choose the curve to a limited extent. Failing is almost never a concern but excelling is difficult.

MBA at IIMC comprises compulsory courses in the first year wherein you are given exposure to a diverse set of fields in management. However, the 2nd-year structure is different wherein an Electives approach is followed. Courses are auctioned and students bid for the courses they wish to enroll in. The faculty: student ratio is around 1:5. Faculty is highly qualified. We have professors who have been IAS officers and served in the Indian Defense as well, just to highlight some diversity. A fixed schedule is shared at the beginning of the term and exams are conducted every 5 weeks to keep the learnings afloat. There are quizzes, class participation marks, and several projects which are a part of the evaluation criteria.

I chose this course to develop business acumen and the better job offers that come with the IIM brand Being in a classroom of 80, so far I've had 20+ professors take classes in the span of one year. So, decent ratio. Teaching is case-based a lot of the time. Otherwise, it is lecture-based, sometimes with graded class participation Faculty are well qualified, well spoken, mostly PhDs Term exams are easy to pass with minimal effort
Course duration is 2 years. The total terms are six. First, three terms will have compulsory courses. The last three terms will have elective courses. The faculty-student ratio is 1:40. Faculty Qualification is Ph.D. in Management, Exams are tough and if you study well it becomes easy to pass.

The curriculum at MBA Calcutta is pretty intense. This is because the students here are equally talented and tough competition is required to maintain the rigor. Some features that make the curriculum at IIM Calcutta extensive are:
Seminars
Practicals
Laboratory sessions
Live projects, simulations and role-play activities
Occasionally classes are taught by industry experts from peer schools or from abroad
Consistent revision of the course
All these make IIM Calcutta one of the most academically intense institutions in India. The competition here is tough because of the batch size as well as the rigid grading system.
The MBA course from ISB or the Indian School of Business specializes in offering Operations and General Management roles. My cousin is from the same B School. She has listed down some reputed companies that offer you Operations and General Management roles.
Apart from these specialty roles are also offered by big firms like Apple and Fung group. Many start-ups offer good packages in Operation and General Management roles. But IIM Calcutta is nowhere behind in this aspect. Both offer equally good roles.
IIMs are known for their top-quality management education and are premium institutes for the same. In addition to their flagship courses, the One Year MBA from IIMs for working professionals is offered as a Full Time Residential MBA Program for Executives. This program is much coveted among working professionals with work experience of 3 to 7 years. The program has similar USPs of two year MBA program except that it is more rigorous.
