How good is IIM Kashipur?

Honestly, IIM Kashipur does not do justice to the other IIMs in its worth. Under the pretext of being an IIM it has gained little fame but the reality is far from different. My cousin got an offer from IIM Kashipur but decided against joining it. The reasons that led him to make this decision are

• Location: IIM Kashipur experiences some major location disadvantages. Neither is it connected to central India nor does it offer a diversity of locations. 
• Low ROI: After spending a massive amount of IIM Kashipur ( INR 1730000), everyone wants a high-paying job. But the entry-level offers available at IIM Kozhikode were below average.
• Weak alumni base: The alumni base at IIM Kashipur is rather weak as compared to other IIMs.
• Less number of reputed companies come for placements: The biggest brands either don’t come to the campus of IIM Kashipur or offer limited roles only.

So if the placement numbers attract you here, you are more than welcome. But remember IIM Kashipur is not at par with other IIMs.
