Course Curriculum Overview :
IIM Bangalore acknowledges and deeply encourages the confluence of business, society, and governance. Especially being from a humanities background, this was valuable for me. IIM Bangalore also houses the NS Raghavan Center of Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL), which is one of India's biggest start-up incubators, creating a strong culture and support for entrepreneurship. The courses are structured to be rooted in various teaching methodologies including cases, simulations, speaker series, theory, and projects. This makes the learning enriching and allows students to play to their strengths.

The infrastructural facilities at IIM Bangalore including the library, classrooms, washrooms, hostels, sports center, and other facilities are one of the best. IIM Bangalore has 2 business fests, Eximius and Vista, and a cultural fest called Unmad.
Hostel Facilities :
IIM Bangalore's flagship MBA program is a residential one. The institute provides single-occupancy rooms for each student, equipped with a bed, table, shelves, wardrobes, and soft boards. Some rooms even have balconies attached. The mess serves 4 meals each day, and the mess menu for the week is shared ahead of time.
Interview Experience :
The selection process involves a written Statement of Purpose (SOP) followed by a Written Ability Test (WAT). The former requires reflecting on your life experiences and not only how they have shaped you, but how they contribute to your future goals. It's also important to explicitly state how these have led you to the course you're applying for and how this course builds on these to help you get to where you want to be. The Written Ability Test needs you to have an understanding of current affairs, but even more than that the ability to logically and succinctly put forth an argument that you can back up.
