What does the term look like at IIM Sirmaur?

Since IIM Sirmaur still operates from a temporary campus, it does not offer as much rigor as other B-Schools. Every term is of three months and typically, in the 1st year, every term has 9-10 mandatory courses. Every course has a unique grading system set by the faculty member. Almost all the courses require a student to prepare a final group project. The guidelines of the group projects are circulated within 2-weeks of the commencement of the course. Every course has a Mid-Term which takes place after 1.5 months and an End-Term at the end of the term. The marking scheme varies from faculty to faculty. During the term-exams, the students are not given any holidays in between the exams and every day, at most two exams take place. The final week of the term is extremely hectic as the deadlines of all the group projects are scheduled in the final week along with presentations of almost all the projects. Hence, it is advisable to complete the projects 1-2 weeks before the deadline. The second year is less exhausting as each term has only 6-7 courses while the 6th term has only 3 courses. Midterms are usually not held in the second year and the volume of classes per week is also very less.
