Yes, the college provides all the necessary amenities required. The campus is so beautiful and greenery all around. There are in total 7 hostels for boys and girls with clean spaces and good facilities provided.
IFMR has a good infrastructure with proper facility of library and academic buildings 24/7 available for the students to study, learn and explore. All classrooms have cameras and projectors. We have all the sports facility and proper badminton, basketball, football and volleyball courts. The campus is always clean.
The infrastructure is great as it provides for all basic amenities as well as recreation sources despite being away from Chennai city by approx 86km. The college library is more than amazing with vast variety of books.
A waitlist number of 53 at IFMR Krea University gives you a decent chance, but it largely depends on how many students ahead of you decline their offers. In past admission cycles, IFMR’s waitlist movement for the MBA program has sometimes gone beyond 70–80, especially after top B-schools release their results and students drop seats.
If you’re flexible about accepting quickly when offered, your odds are fairly good though nothing is guaranteed. The biggest movement usually happens in the first two weeks after the initial admission deadline, with smaller waves later. Keep all your documents and fees ready so you can confirm immediately if you get the call.
Hi aspirant,
Both IFMR GSB and SDMIMD are excellent and respectable choices for an MBA, however IFMR GSB is thought to have marginally better placement records.

Fees: 14.16 Lakh
Placements: average 13.4 LPA
SDMIMD:
Location: Mysuru, Karnataka
Program: PGDM
Fees: 12.17 Lakh
Placements: average 9.8-10 LPA
All the best!
Hello Aspirant,
This university's MBA admissions occur through several entrance exams. NMAT is one of them.
The last year's cut-off was in the range 85-90 percentile. The score might be between 220- 230.
You have also met the sectional cutoff of this university to be eligible for a further round of nomination. This cutoff is subjected to change every year depending on various factors.
I hope it helps.
Thank you
