IIM I Review 2026 — Student Ratings

"Consulting recruiter loyalty here is real — Accenture Strategy, BCG, Bain, McKinsey, Kearney all return every season. If you focus from Term 1 and prep your case interviews seriously, conversion is genuine."

"The product management pipeline has grown dramatically. Microsoft hired multiple PMs in 2025 — the highest offer of ₹70 LPA came from a PM role. PMC (Product Management Club) is strong now."

"IPM is unique to IIM Indore — 5 years on campus, you graduate with both bachelor's-equivalent and MBA. By the time you sit for placements, you have 5 years of training and are still 22-23 years old. Massive head start."

"Finance at IIM I is targeted but not deep. Goldman, JPMorgan, BoA come — but they hire 1-2 each. If you want bulge-bracket IB at scale, IIM C is the better choice. Corporate banking and risk advisory pipelines here are strong."

"Female diversity at 27-30% is decent but not as strong as IIM K (50%+). The diversity bonus in the composite score made a real difference for me getting in. Wish there were more non-engineers in the batch."

"The hilltop campus is gorgeous — students call it "Prabandh Shikhar" for a reason (Shikhar means peak). Sunset from the campus is something else. Indore city itself is clean, safe, great food culture."

"EPGP (1-year executive MBA) is underrated — same faculty, same brand, same campus, but you finish in 12 months. For working professionals with 5+ years experience, the ROI is excellent."
