The IPM course introduced by IIM Rohtak is rigid and flexible at the same time. The course was started by IIM Indore and Rohtak is following the former’s footsteps. Like its Indore counterpart, 2020 is the first batch that will be experimented on.

If we come down to the process certain merits and so-called ‘demerits’ can be put forward.

1. This program is new and has not found its foothold yet which resulted in some hesitation from the first batch of IIM Indore.
2. Before you compare, ask yourself some questions like, if you have received the offer and if you have then what you are planning to do with it. There are high prospects but as the program is still new it would take some time to turn up on the map.
3. It is not mature to bring up the fact that the institute is in Haryana. There is an IIT in Kharagpur and Kanpur and they attract tons of candidates during admission.

The reports of the average placement drive of 2020 show that the highest package offered was as high as INR 24 LPA. It’s pretty certain the figures would see an increase in the future. The placements may be as good as, and/or even better than the current package for PGP.

List your priorities and decide accordingly. You will be using a lot of money and will get little or no return on investment (ROI). The IIM brand name will serve you for the better.

During the placement process at IIM Rohtak, three of the so-called ‘Big 4’ visited the campus for offering roles in their companies. The four companies are Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, E&Y. The institute hopes that it can maintain a friendly relationship with the companies.

The companies ended up recruiting a large number of students from General Management and Consulting.

Consulting, as a subject, comes during your second year. It will help you to hone your skills in the domain of consultancy. One of the best faculty at IIM Rohtak is Prof. Sujit Kumar who will make the topics interesting for you.

IIM Rohtak has a dedicated club for Strategy and Consulting and it is instrumental in bringing live projects from reputed. If you are sure of being recruited in consultancy either on or off-campus, then you have a bright future in this course.

It would be much clearer, had you mentioned your background. However, assuming two separate perspectives, let’s divide your present scenario. The first one is your work experience, while the second is your level of seriousness while preparing to give an attempt at CAT.

1. In case your work experience is slightly less than 2 years, but you still went for a serious attempt: It might be a calculated risk. If you are confident enough about leveraging your present work experience, then you should secure at least around 95 percentile in the following CAT exam since it will help you become eligible for older IIMs.
2. In case your work experience is supposedly less than 2 years, and CAT is a casual attempt: You might want to appear for the exam since you can still afford to lose one year and will be able to reap maximum benefits of your work experience once you get selected to an IIM.
3. In case your work experience is more than 2 years, but the CAT exam is still a serious attempt: Unfortunately, it might become highly risky, given your present scenario. CAT is sometimes extremely uncertain when providing scores. So, it will be safe to go for it.
4. In case your work experience is beyond 2 years, but it is a casual attempt: Similarly, the risks here are quite the reflection of the former statement. However, if you still have a really good job, and you personally want to add value to your profile nonetheless, then you can stick to it and try again another year.

IIM Rohtak is undeniably a reputed and well-known B-school and will secure you opportunities that are as similar as what other newer IIMs provide. The best way you would be able to leverage your quota will be your high scores, which should at least range somewhere around the 95 percentile. It will help secure a position at older IIMs. you should always analyze your chances, the recent market exposure your opportunities have. Depending on these issues, you should finally decide what you should go for.

IIM Rohtak is one of the most prestigious business schools in India and the oldest amongst the newer IIMs. It has recently been completed for ten years. Many of my colleagues have done their PG from IIM Rohtak. Based on the brief interaction I had with them here are some interesting details about the campus:

• IIM Rohtak has an advantage of location proximity to NCR and because of this, the institution has a robust corporate connection as Rohtak is only an hour away from New Delhi. This gives IIM Rohtak an upper hand over other new IIMs
• The factor which differentiates IIM Rohtak from other IIMs is that their placement reports are CRISILaudited which only a few IIMs do.
• IIM Rohtak is also one of the few B-schools in India that is CFA-affiliated.
• Its course curriculum is aligned with the CFA curriculum. This is a plus point for all those who want to or are pursuing CFA along with their MBA or are planning to do it after their MBA.
• IIM Rohtak has a diversified culture with a unique mix of students from all backgrounds with the right mix of engineers and non-engineers.
• Every year a cultural fest is organized named Infusion,a three-day event held in January.
• The IIM Rohtak campus is among the best of the new generation IIMs, with lush green surroundings and a very calm and positive atmosphere.

In conclusion, IIM Rohtak is an outstanding B-School, so if you are fortunate enough to get admitted, don’t miss that chance. IIMs provide you a platform and an opportunity to build your career, so make the most out of it.

I have a few friends from IIM Rohtak and they were able to help resolve this confusion. According to them, it means you are shortlisted for only IIM Rohtak. All the IIMs will call you separately if they shortlist you. Though you need to appear for the CAP if you get shortlisted in only one of the nine newly formed IIMs. For more detailed information, you should check the official website of the institute.

Also, keep yourself updated by visiting the websites regularly so that you would not miss out on the deadlines for the forms and other related information.

When you leave IIM Indore after three years, you will get a Bachelor of Arts degree in foundations in management.

IPM students definitely have the option of leaving the program after 3 years for any reason cited. Most quit to appear for CAT and to go to higher ranked B-schools in the country.

If you are planning to quit, you need to clear the basic passing requirements for IPM. This includes the social internship.

As far as IIM Rohtak is concerned, you will get a Bachelor’s of Business Administration degree from the college. If you are looking for more information, you can even check out the websites for both these colleges.

There is an entrepreneurship cell at IIM Rohtak. It conducts various guest lectures, competitions, workshops every year.

The flagship event of the cell is called Udaan and it is conducted in the month of December. In this event, entrepreneurs from all over the country acquaint the various mentors/investors with their ideas in order to win the Bizdome.

The cell works hand in hand with Bizdome which is a business incubator and its job is to assist aspiring entrepreneurs. The ideas which are considered worthy of further exploration and implementation are incubated by Bizdone and meetings are arranged with the investors.

The entrepreneurship cell also arranges for mentorship from relevant industry experts, consultancies, etc. Office space is also provided to the students for them to work in.
