The details of the financial assistance which was present last year is as follows

"IIMC offers Need Based Financial Assistance for this purpose. The students admitted to IIMC, whose annual gross family incomes are Rs.2 lakh and below will be eligible for receiving financial assistance amounting to less than or equal to full tuition waiver. In special deserving cases, students whose annual gross family incomes are Rs.2 lakh and below, will also be eligible to receive financial assistance beyond full tuition fee waiver"

this year the limit is raised to Rs 4 lakh.

Dear Seniors,

Please let me know regarding the accomodation for married ppl i.e. what is the procedure to avail it; is it within the campus or outside?

Thanks in advance.

As most of you have decided by now that you would be coming to IIMC, let me give you some pointers for the next 2 years.I am one of those who struggled to adjust to the IIM education and I think I can help people like me who are a bit old compared to the avg batch age.

1. The easier part is done, now you would face the rigour of IIM education. There are no two things about it, it is rigorous and you are expected to slog.First term would bring your feet back to earth from all the ephoria you would have during this time.

2. If you think you are average in quant, I recommend you brush up your fundamentals before coming here. If you are good at quant, you can ace most of the subjects here.

3. All those who never studied stats, try to learn the basics of conditional probability and statistics.

4. People interested in Fin can practise a bit of accounting during this one month.

5. We have some of the world's best profs in Eco, Fin and Stats and they expect you to be good.

6. yes, having a good CGPA would get you shortlists from most of the best companies but you are expected to talk well.So, practise these skills.With good communication skills you can sail through any interview.

7.Utilize this month to prepare yourself for a very good learning experience.

more later.....

There is a separate accommodation for married ppl. We do have the family hostel in the campus. But usually most of the married ppl take up accommodation in the same hostel as all others.

Thanks Surya for the valuable inputs...

Some queries from my side...

1.By quants do you mean numbers/cat level quants or is it more of higher maths like integration and stuff...

2.I have 4 yrs of IT exp ...how tuff will be it be for me to shift to finance...
have heard that more of IT exp is a negative for getting short-listed in Fin companies...

3.Will 1st term scores be considered for summers or will it be totally profile based?

Eagerly Awaiting ur reply...
