Is it worth it to go into 6 new IIMs (Ranchi, Rohtak, Raipur, Udaipur, Trichy & Kashipur) rather than going for an MS?
Before choosing a college, try to make sure what you are really interested in. If it is MS then don’t go for any IIM. This is because you can pursue an MBA later in life if MS did not work for you. But you will not get the chance to choose Ms after your MBA. Also since it’s your area of interest, chances are you might find your talents and may want to work on them.
Now if you are sure about the course but confused about the IIMs, I will give you my honest opinion. The new IIMs are enjoying fame and glory owing to the achievements of their predecessors alone. They haven’t done much to attain the level of older IIMs. These new IIMs are poorly organized. The faculty is below average, the infrastructure is substandard and the teaching is pathetic. Yet they are here to claim the coveted IIM tag.
So if you are someone for whom the tag of IIM and its high placement matters only, you can surely go for a new IIM. But if you value education over institutions then base your decision on research.
How was the IIM Rohtak interview?
My friend once shared his interview experience at IIM Rohtak. He was a General Engineer Male with Acads:9.8/94.4/8.55 Cat: 94.4/71.55/98.5 Overall:96.8 profile.
It was an online interview and the panel comprised a male and a female who made it a very comfortable experience. Before the interview began, he was asked to display the CAT Score card and graduation certificate.
The strange part of the interview was that they did not ask any typical HR questions like an introduction, questions around why MBA, strengths or weaknesses. I have summarized the rest of the interview in points below
- He was asked to write on "Technologies impact on the job market" for which he was given 30 seconds to prepare.
- Owing to his Electrical Engineering background, he was asked about AC to DC rectifiers and digital devices.
- Keeping his Data Science work experience in mind he was inquired about his job role and questions about Supervised and unsupervised learning. They also asked questions about primary and secondary markets
- He was asked about his hobbies
- He was from Andhra Pradesh and they asked him about its current government scenario.
My friend was able to answer almost all the questions confidently and the interview ended within 10-12 minutes.
How was your interview at IIM IPM Rohtak?
My friend had an interview at IIM Rohtak. She was a commerce student with 95% in Class 10th and 93.8% in Class 12. It was an online interview conducted by two male panelists.
The interview started with her speaking about herself, her background, school achievements, extracurriculars, and hobbies. She told them her hobby was reading and they asked her about her recent reads. They asked her the following questions
- What is more important to you: Money or Happiness?
- As a student of economics, consider a situation where all the countries have the same currency. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of the situation?
- What if there is a different currency in every state of India. Explain the consequences.
- Name any two women entrepreneurs?
- Who is the governor of MP?
- Who is the Chief Justice of India?
Apart from the last question she was able to answer all and thankfully was able to convert the call.
The truth is IPM interviews are of Class 12 pass outs so are just limited to their knowledge. They mainly test your academic questions and basic knowledge of current issues. All you need to do is be confident and succeed!

IPMAT IIM Rohtak considers past academic records as well but I have got 70% in my 12th boards with extremely low marks in maths. Do I have a chance to get into IIM Rohtak? If yes, then how?
IIM Rohtak offers admission based on your potential and not solely on the marks previously obtained. When the interviewer enquires of you regarding your low percentage, you should honestly answer him/her.
Instead of faltering and mumbling your answers you should confidently speak out your answers. Even if you would be at fault your interviewer would let it slide given that you are not doubtful of your own self. Try not to use any falsehood around them and notably maintain your calm.
One can be of the view that your personality impresses your interviewers. In some cases, this view could be true. Maintain your calm and confidence in yourself and you will crack the interview.
Is IIM Rohtak not giving hostel for IPM?
IIM Rohtak campus is far from the main city of Rohtak and is situated on a highway. So accommodation has to be provided to the students. It’s a 200-acre campus and has ample space for hostels in its existing campus.
The offer letter which the IIM Rohtak authorities sent to the selected students clearly stated that they had to pay an amount of INR 4.10 lakhs for the first year of the 5 years Integrated Program in Management (IPM) at the institute which covers the tuition fee, room rent, and other relevant fees though not including security deposits, study materials, alumni membership fee, and some other fees.

I got admission (PGDM) opportunities from IIM Rohtak and IIM Udaipur! Should one go or sit for CAT again this year? Any suggestions?
Sitting for CAT again is honestly not a very easy decision. So I will suggest you go for IIM Rohtak itself. This decision will be beneficial under the following circumstances
- If your past academic performance is not really good. This is because the older IIMs lay emphasis on past academics too much which in reality cannot be changed. So why risk a year when the chances are nearly zero?
- If you already have 2 or more years of experience, it’s better you don’t forgo the opportunity.
- If you are interested in domains like Finance or Marketing, it’s better to join now. This is because working too much in the IT field limits your chances of getting into Finance and Marketing.
So based on these points you can come up with a decision that’s best for you. Just remember that despite being new, IIM Rohtak belongs to the IIM family which in itself is a brand.
