The following table represents the comparison between IIM Ahmedabad Vs IIM Bangalore and IIM Calcutta:

College IIM Ahmedabad IIM Bangalore IIM Calcutta
Established 1961 1973 1961
Batch Size 450 (33.5% Woman, 66.5% Male) 480 (29.5% Female, 70.5% Male) 465 (35% Female, 65% Male)
Campus area 102 acre 100 acre 135 acre
City The weather during the summers may get unbearable (since there’s no AC in some of the hostels) Bengaluru is the startup hub of India. The campus is located in the heart of the city which gives the students a chance to explore the city and network. The campus is located far away from the city so the students have limited access to the city. The weather of the city is extremely hot and humid.
Curriculum All courses are mandatory in the first year and the second year has all the elective courses. IIM B offers a choice of 3 elective courses in the first year itself to prepare the students for the summer placements. core courses in the first year and elective courses in the second.

Specialization Consulting (46%), Finance (16%) and Marketing (9.5%) Consulting (36%), Product management (17%) and Finance (14%) Consulting (32%), Finance (17%) and General Management (16%)
Culture IIMA is the perfect median between the other 2- it has a culture of clusters. IIMA people are not just achievers, but toppers throughout their lives, a trait that adds insecurity. This is why IIMA people have a very strong and lasting bond with a small group of people. IIMB has a culture of heterogeneity. At B, each individual is an achiever by themselves. Unlike C, where students grow their social capital, at B, each student explores his/her individuality. There is no cluster of the students across any hostel block or class section. Each one is each one.  IIM- C has a complete opposite culture of homogeneity. Across the 3 IIMs, the closest knit family is that IIMC. IIMC is a classic example of common misery being the best binder of people. They are located outside the city, climate is difficult, education is tough. This torrid environment of C brings in a culture of togetherness within C-ites.

In order to survive the pressure of cut throat competition, surprise quizzes, the case methodology and tiring classes, you’ll definitely be sacrificing your precious sleep. But the negligible sleep equation that comes with IIM Ahmedabad would only remain till the first term because that’s the most stressful one and that’s actually a good news since after that you’ll easily adapt to the environment of this prestigious institution and probably be able to fix your sleeping schedule and your time management skills.

In 2021, the required cutoff for IIM Ahmedabad was 99-100. But just scoring 100 percentile in CAT, won’t get you an interview call. You must satisfy the eligibility criteria in terms of 10th, 12th, Graduation marks, and CAT percentile. The shortlist for an interview is made by considering past academic performance and CAT percentile. So, if your past academic record is poor, you may not get a call for an interview, even with a 100 percentile.

Every student with a gap year in their resume should be prepared for the question - ‘Why did you take a gap year?’, during your interview. The interview panelists are genuinely interested to know how you made the most of your break. You should be honest while replying to this question. You can simply answer that you needed more time for preparation. 

During your break year, you can do volunteer work during weekends or learn something new. If you opted out of campus placements, you can do research projects or internships with your professor. You can do some certification or take examinations, in your field of interest, such as CFA/FRM. These will help showcase that you have spent your time productively.

There is no proper procedure. If you want to visit the campus, you can make an entry in the register at the gate. It will be even easier if you know someone from the campus. Guards at the gate aren’t too finicky about people who want to get inside to see the campus. Although they stop those who are coming by vehicle.

Life at IIM Ahmedabad is much more than academics. 

  • A typical day on the campus starts around 8:15 am for most students. They usually grab something to eat on their way to class. The lectures start at 8:45 am sharp. If you are late, you won’t be able the attend your lecture that day.
  • Lectures go on till 1:10 pm. Students spend around 45 minutes wondering whether they have a surprise quiz that day or not. The notification regarding the surprise quiz comes around 1:45 pm from the academic office. Students who get quizzes start last min prep. Others enjoy their lunch. Quiz usually goes on till 3:15 pm. 
  • During afternoon, some take a nap, some students engage in club activities or sports. 
  • After dinner, students do their assignments, group projects, class preparation for the next day. This usually takes up until 2 am, even some more time on certain days. 

This is how the cycle repeats.
