Hello Seniors,
Good to hear from you people about campus. It would be great if you people could continuously support us through our journey to IRMA. Hope you will not shatter our hopes .
I will be giving this entrance exam for first time. Could you please brief us about it.
Also I wanted to know what kind of job profile do people get after passing out and what was the average salary for your seniors batch.
Nice pics Ashish thanks for that.

Yeah sure, i would def reply as soon as i can to all your queries...As about the entrance exam it has 4 sections and both speed and accuracy matter....'Issue of social awareness' was the key decider last year.

Regarding job profile i am quoting the lines from the official website of IRMA - 'The Campus Placement Programme for each graduating batch ensures that all the students secure meaningful and challenging career opportunities in tune with IRMA’s mission. The one-week long campus recruitment programme organised by the Placement Office is held in January-February of the second year of PRM. The nature of jobs offered to IRMA graduates varies widely. The job offers are in areas such as planning and information systems, production management, marketing, finance, accounts, human resource development, rural development, and natural resources management
The Institute seeks to ensure that its graduates are offered competitive remuneration. IRMA has enlisted over 650 organisations, which are designated for the purpose of placement of its graduates. The list is ever increasing and attempts are made every year to enlist more organisations. Broadly, these organisations can be categorised as Co-operatives, NGOs, government development agencies, and national and international donors engaged in promoting rural development. Their distinguishing feature is their willingness and ability to make effective use of young and well-trained professional managers
Consistent with its objectives, the Institute’s placement support is confined to placing students in the designated organisations only. The Institute desires that its graduates seek employment only in these designated organisations'

No preference is given to the work ex guys........we have quite a few fresh economics guys in our batch....but interview of IRMA holds more weightage as compared to GD......and interview is around 30 min with 3 faculty members....
