How did your IPM AT IIM Rohtak go?
Below is the experience of an IIM Rohtak student who did his IPMAT during covid.
It was always going to be difficult to conduct a fair online exam in this day and age, but IIM Rohtak took the exam to an all-time low. The following are the highlights of the exam:
The online exam was conducted in an 'open book' format, using Google Forms and no effort was made to proctor the exam - which means students could have their friends and family assist them using Google, WhatsApp, Zoom, and any other technology they could think of. After 45 minutes, the form would not even submit itself. To pass the test, the student had to maintain their integrity.
Every student had the same paper, in the same order. It's no surprise that within minutes of the exam starting, WhatsApp and Facebook groups were flooded with questions and answers. Most students are required to submit answers that they have simply copied from the internet.
Some of the questions were difficult to answer. This is especially true when the paper setters fail to include the accompanying diagram to logical reasoning questions.

Is preferring IPM from IIM Indore over engineering a good decision?
According to one of my friend's personal experiences, you should recognize what you want to do in life further. Whether you want to continue in a technical field or a management field. The next thing is the decent package and the prestigious company, you get your placement.
If Engineering is your choice -
- If you manage to get into IIT Kharagpur or IIT Bombay and spend approximately INR 10 Lakhs for the entire course.
- Then the salary package you receive is INR 10-11 LPA.
- So in this case you can clearly demarcate the difference between expenditure and earning.
If IPM is your choice -
- If we consider that you have taken the IPM course in IIM Indore and spend INR 26 Lakhs till the completion of the course.
- Then get the placement of around INR 17-18 LPA.
Comparing these we can see that by the time your package reaches INR 12-13 LPA being an engineer from IIT, the salary of the IPM graduate reaches very high. So this is where the difference is being created.
Thus we can say that rather than just focusing on return on investment, look for the average package that will last for your entire life.
Is the KIIT entrance exam for the BBA at KIIT School of Management easy?
KIIT School of Management is a very famous and reputed business management school in our country. Many students across the country apply for admission and for that all of them are required to appear for the entrance exam conducted by the college and pass it successfully.
The entrance is relatively easier when compared to the entrance exams of other business schools. The reason behind it is the amount of time you get when you appear for the exams.
You will get 3 hours and within that time period, you will have to solve 120 questions which is not a difficult task. All the sections in the question paper are moderate.
But you should really work on some chapters like Profit and Loss, Time and Work, Time and Speed, Simple and Compound Interest, etc., and also improve the vocabulary. You will be easily able to clear the exam if your aptitude is good as it is an important part to clear the exam.
Is NSIT good for a BBA?
Here are a few pros and cons of a BBA from NSUT Delhi-
PROS
- Brand: NSUT Delhi is a brand in itself and has a good reputation in the entire country. Many companies visit for recruitment, so you need not worry about that front.
- Location: NSUT Delhi is located in Dwarka, the heart of Delhi. You will get good connectivity from the campus. Shops and malls can also be accessed easily.
- Students: The selection process is rigid so the crowd consists of hardworking, bright, and innovative students.
CONS
- Hostel- The college has only half the seats in its hostels as compared to the total students studying in it. Therefore, getting a seat can be quite difficult.
- Animals- This may shock you but because of its forest area, NSUT Delhi is home to some strange animal species including snakes, monitor lizards, etc.
- Stream- NSUT Delhi is mainly known for its Engineering, and not its management courses. Also, you won’t have very good interactions with the Engineers and there might be some friction.
- Uncertainty - BBA is a new course at NSIT Delhi. Therefore, you will find difficulty in gathering placement records and study material. Also, the environment might not really suit you.
- Strictness- Study and attendance criteria are strict at NSUT Delhi. You might feel overwhelmed at times.
I would say NSUT Delhi is a good choice for a BBA but if you get any DU college, go for it.

How was your experience in IPM IIM Indore student exchange programme in the third year? What are the details of your trip (expenses, study, travel, etc)?
My friend had the opportunity to get selected for the student exchange program in the third year. She shared her amazing experience.
She was sent to the University of Latvia. Studying in Europe gave her the freedom to explore it, make new friends from every corner of the world and most importantly gain knowledge about different economies.
Expenses
The total expenditure amounted to approximately ?4–5 lac for the five months she spent there. However, she was lucky to get an ERASMUS+ grant which covered most of her expenses.
Study
You are free to opt for any course of your choice provided that you complete the minimum credits criteria of IIM Indore. It’s recommended that you go for such a course that satiates your interests and is unavailable in your country. Some of them include International Law and Culture.
Travel
You can travel to most of Europe if you have a Type-D Visa. The climate is extremely cold and you will not be able to adjust initially.
Food
There are no mess facilities, only college canteens. The taste of the food is not up to our taste. But spending much on food is futile. You can spend the maximum on traveling and you won’t regret it.
My friend had a great time as an exchange student at the University of Latvia thanks to its relaxed ambiance.

The Science stream student who is also preparing for other competitive exams such as JEE may have some advantages in the QA section.
