Got admit from IIM Vizag Today. According to me the main positive thing about IIM Vizag is IIM B being its mentor. However on the flip side there is hardly any information about how much of it will actually be flow from IIM B to IIM Vizag and also the compus is still under construction. Does any one have any views about IIMVizag and whether its worth accepting the admit? Thanks
Conerted IIM Gaya 🍻 Not Joining though
Guys, many people here have converted one or more of the newest IIMs, there is a lot of debate going over the pros and cons of going into one.I am also fighting the same school of thought for the last 8 hrs and have observed a couple of things:
Its going to be completely uncharted territory, we used to have seniors in Engg collg to guide us through every thing and from what I have heard from friends in the A,B,Cs.... they are much more imp over here(-ve).they wont be there to call for Placement talks no one w'ls be knowing abt various national and international competitions which are a bread and butter of a B school life(--ve)..'However' at the end of the day its all upon you to pave you path... during the mentoring period students here will be taught by faculty from the mentoring period(not sure to what degree +ve)....the brand IIM is of course there(+ve)... and in case of IIM V and N .....B and A...will be overlooking the course and pedagogy( sth rare +ve)....still not sure of the placement scene(-ve)...and the new chaps will be totally responsible for making the LEGACY.
Its risky but I think Its worth a shot( keeping in mind my life depends on this shot 😃 What about you??

I had sent an email to the admissions office of IIM Vishakhapatnam yesterday expressing concern over low amount of information provided on the websites and requesting for some additional information if possible with respect to the (i) facilities available at IIMV and campus environment (ii) participation in research activities (iii) access to alumni network of IIM B (iv) Electives on offer at IIM V.
I received a call today from IIM Bangalore addressing the above points. The call was made by Prof. L.S. Murthy , IIM B and he was very straight forward and provided the maximum information possible so that we can take informed decision. The following is brief of discussion that I had with him.
(i) Facilities available at IIMV and campus Environment
Independent campus of IIM V is under construction and our lectures would be conducted from a dedicated building allotted to IIM V at Andhra University Campus. He assured me that the classroom facilities and environment would be similar to any other IIM and not typically that of Andhra Unversity.
As far as hostel facilities are concerned, since there is no on campus hostel in all probability we'll be allotted apartments in nearby areas. The apartment facilities that would be allotted, in his personal opinion, will be better than on campus hostel facilities at many IIMs.
I also asked him about the presence of environment and facilities for group activities and group procjects etc, which is one of the main experiences of B School. To this, he mentioned that there would not be total immersive campus environment like that of IIM B as IIM V still doesn't have its own dedicated campus, but arrangements for making available small conference rooms, seminar rooms etc shall be done and then it ll depend a lot on the students to create and maintain that environment.
(ii) Participation in research activities.
He said that, participation in research activities is generally not a part of curriculum but an advantage that student gets with increased interaction with the professors and opportunity to work with them in field of mutual interest. Since there will not be resident faculty at IIM V (all faculty will be travelling from IIM B and Mumbai) participation in research activities may not be as active as in other IIM. However without painting a false picture, if the student takes an initiative and connects with a professor at IIM B and shows his interest there may be a possibility of him/ her having opportunity in research activities but this should not be taken as any assurance or promise.
He also added that, they are working on possibility of students participating in research activities with the industry community but nothing is sure as of now.
(iii) Access to alumni network of IIM B.
His reply to his was, every IIM has and strives to have its independent identity so normally direct access to alumni network of other IIMs is not always available. However since it is the first year of IIM V, we'll be given access to alumni network of IIM B.
(iv) Electives on offer at IIM V
He informed that, electives that will be on offer at IIM V will purely depend on strength of class and more importantly number of students demanding a particular elective and this holds true for every IIM. So if number of students demanding an elective is below ~20 then the same may not be available as an option.
Overall he said that the IIM B is very enthusiastic about IIM V and we all are taking best efforts to make this experience worthwhile.
I did not expect this prompt response from the admissions office. Talking to the professor did give me some sense of positivity, especially because he did not try to provide false or half information and was very receptive.
I hope this information may be of use to many of us who are still in dilemma of accepting the offer from IIM V. Do share your views and your decision.

although m not a very big fan of college comparisons and firmly believe that individual performances matter more than the name of the college but still I would like to state some positives of IIM gaya as I think people here have been making many assumptions about respective iims.......
1. IIM gaya is being mentored by IIM Calcutta and IIM Calcutta is among the top 3 colleges in the country
2. IIM calcutta is known for its strong finance background so anyone interested in finance must take a note of it...it has some of the best faculty in the country when it comes to finance n equally good faculty in other areas as well
3. IIM Calcutta had mentored IIM Ranchi in the past n there is no doubt about the quality of mentorship as IIM ranchi has now become one of the top choices of students n is the only new iim among the top 15 colleges if u consider the rankings of pagalguy , TIME or CL
4. Many people are of the mindset that gaya is not as good a location as Nagpur, Amritsar, or Vizag but if you look at it its the closest to its mentor IIM , so you can expect ease of accessibility for the faculty n staff
5. Many people also feel that recruiters only visit good locations but that's not true , infact more than the location placements depend upon assistance by the mentor iim. IIM Ranchi's first batch placements can be checked by simply googling it
6. I have worked in CL and TIME both n have had serveral interactions with people from top iims. I also had 2 of my friends from 2nd and 3rd batch of IIM trichy n IIM Ranchi and they had given me valuable inputs regarding initial batches. College proximity to its mentor IIM matters because faculty can't keep flying every now n then. Most faculty in the initial batches are from old iims but n iim won't compromise the quality of its own pgp batch for mentoring the new iims
8. No judgement can be made now about the quality of placements of any of the new iims but whatever I have stated now are only facts that are there for everyone to see. One thing can be said about the iim gaya for sure. it will be as good as Nagpur n Amritsar n vizag if not better....infact looking at facts I rate it as second best for joining but that's only my personal opinion
9. lastly your placements are a function of your academics at iim n your profile more than a function of the college. some good companies will visit at most new iims so don't think that being at a particular institute will matter much.
