Is IIM Ahmedabad really worth doing? If I somehow clear the entrance exams, then will I get satisfied with the placement/package that they will provide me?

I hope you get into IIM Ahmedabad and answer this question yourself a few years from now. Because your answer will definitely be yes! IIM Ahmedabad was really worth it.

You might think I am saying this because of the high salary packages and excellent placements. But no. These factors are important but not in the long run. Obviously you will be offered more than expected salaries but do you think that is enough to satisfy you?

The most important thing you will learn at IIM Ahmedabad is the various opportunities you could have otherwise missed. The opportunity to give a chance to various conventional career options, the freedom to explore the uncharted career streams and the confidence to succeed or fail and stand up back again in them. All this is much more valuable than the stellar package you will be offered.

One additional advantage at IIM Ahmedabad is that you can defer your admission if you want to get experienced first. Also you can sit for placements later if you want to first work on your own startup. All these merits make IIM Ahmedabad worthwhile.
