A friend of mine from school happens to be a former student of IIM Udaipur. From what I heard from her, IIM Udaipur lays stress on entrepreneurship right from the get-go.
Entrepreneurship:
Various opportunities for start-ups are provided to the students. Right from the students choosing to leave a summer internship to the students who aspire to become entrepreneurs in the future; IIM Udaipur gives opportunities to each and every one.
It offers stipends for covering the basic costs of living. The stipends ensure that the students do not get distracted by their day-to-day spending and focus on the big picture of starting a venture.
The institute also provides placement holidays where the students are allowed to use the services of the campus placement at a later date. They, however, have to use the services within two years of graduation.
Faculty:
The Japanese model of faculty development is followed by IIM Udaipur. The process of selection is tough but after the appointment of the faculty, they are benefited by the support from the institution. The goal is that each member of the faculty will become well established in the fields they have chosen. May it be the NIRF ranking or UT Dallas ranking, they have the final say in this respect.
Research:
In terms of research, IIM Udaipur is in the top five.
Achievement:
In terms of international ranking also, IIM Udaipur has an enviable position be it in the QS World Ranking or FT MiM Ranking. It was awarded the accreditation of AACSB when it was the youngest institute in the country.
From the time IIM Udaipur came into the radar, it has been trying to change that situation in the hopes of creating a better brand name in the future and attracting more aspiring students so that they can lead.

CAT exam is a highly competitive exam that is taken by thousands of students every year, and it is widely known that only a small percentage of students are able to crack it and secure a seat in the IIMs.
Based on conversations with current and former IIM students, it is believed that most students who get selected into the IIMs have taken the CAT exam multiple times. Some students take the exam 2-3 times, while others take it 4-5 times or more before they are able to secure a high enough percentile to get selected.
It's important to note that the CAT exam is just one part of the selection process for the IIMs, and candidates are also evaluated based on their academic performance, work experience, extracurricular activities, and performance in the group discussion and personal interview rounds. Therefore, even if a candidate has taken the CAT exam multiple times, they still need to perform well in the other parts of the selection process to secure a seat in the IIMs.
While there is no fixed number of attempts that most IIM students take before getting selected, it is clear that perseverance, hard work, and dedication are key traits that are required to succeed in the highly competitive world of management education in India.

The only thing you need is to have a co-borrower that can be your father, mother, brother, sister, or any other known person.

One of my friends is an IRMA pass-out. After interacting with her I realized that the students or the B School in general have a very shortsighted approach. It was after this that I was certain of IIM Udaipur’s credibility.
