Well, IIM Rohtak is the newly established institution for pursuing MBA. The college offers MBA in Management Information System, Organizational Behavior, HRM, Marketing & Strategy, Finance & Accounting, Operation and Economics, Public Policy. It is given 21st rank by NIRF in 2020.

Now coming to your question, I would like to share one of my cousins’ experiences about this, who scored 95.92 percentile in CAT 2019.

• He is 24 years old and he is an automobile engineer from Manipal Institute of Technology.
• His grades have been 90+ so far with 92.71, 90, and 9.13 in 10th, 12th and engineering respectively.

• He got a call from IIM Rohtak being his profile was good and also he was a gold medalist in Academics (5th SEM - Engineering).

• Also, he interned in Amazon in Operations and Fulfillment and in Accenture as a mainframe developer.

He shared with me his experience of how the interview went on for 10 minutes and consisted of 2-4 questions on his Curricula, GK and academics.

• The first question was an extempore on the topic “Women make better managers than men” and the time limit was 1 min for thinking and 2 mins for speaking.

• There were more questions on the qualities of a manager, a couple of questions on my academics, and 2 questions on GK.

• There were also questions on his gap year after work and also on his challenges as a manager he faced handling a team of 200-300 in Amazon.
• He mentioned that it is good to assist your answer with brief examples if any and describing a specific situation that you handled clearly.
• The panelists also checked his certificates and posed a few questions on them.

But, I would kindly suggest you keep your calm. Remember that confidence is key and always stay honest and humble. Start with a greeting and be polite. The first few minutes would be when the first impression will be set and you need to put your best foot forward. Good Luck.

There are a lot of parameters the answer to this question can be divided into the following points.

• Infrastructure: The quality of the infrastructure has grown over the years after a few initial setbacks. As the constructions are new, IIM Rohtak looks larger than life. It has a fully functional sports facility. There are air conditions in the hostel rooms.
• Administration: The administrative staff has the final authority for accepting and rejecting a suggestion. The decisions made by them are not always met with enthusiasm by the students, however, but the staff is indeed a strong presence.
• Academics: The academics in IIM Rohtak are rigorous only in the first year. Like every other IIM, the pedagogy is centered on application. There is a shortage of faculty and with that, the problem of faculty retention. The courses are taught by visiting professors from other IIMs, from other countries, etc.
• Peer group: The campus of IIM Rohtak is diverse and helps in addressing the looking down on women in the corporate world. The people you are mingling with influence you a lot. You will come across very intelligent people in your tenure as a student and also very naïve students.
• Placements: The positions offered to the students during placements are sometimes more or less similar to the positions offered by another institute. Roles offered by IIM Rohtak are better than the ones that are offered by other institutes.

The institute is also unfairly associated with Haryana by the locals. For that reason, IIM Rohtak gets negative press. The people are helpful but they can be rude more often than not.

My cousin recently joined the institute and has seen students frequently vacate the FPM program of IIM Rohtak. There can be several reasons for this. However, it is somewhat unlikely and vague as well. Especially, when considering the issues concerning the director, as is known by the students.

Nobody can vouch for the scenario taking place at the institute. Thus, it is always the right choice to analyze what you are going for. It is suggested to stay updated with any information at all.
