This college is one of the fastest growing IIMs. The college has given most of the basic facilities like classroom, ground, library etc to it's students but not maintaining the IIM standards. So, it needs upgradation as students deserve better service after paying 15 to 17 lakhs fees.
Academics in IIM Amritsar is quite well structured as the both the permanent & visiting facilities are highly qualified and experienced. I'm in the core program & in my curriculum courses are very much industry relevant.
Placement of IIM Amritsar is quite streamlined process. The college stays very much dedicated to place the entire batch during the Placement season whether it's finals or summers. The Placement committee & the Placement chair support the students throughout this process.
Without permanent campus the campus life isn't that entertaining but hopefully by this year end, campus life can be observed from the permanent campus.
The college is currently operating from a temporary campus situated nearby the GNDU, in Govt polytechnic college. It has lesser no of classrooms & library also doesn't have sufficient place to accommodate all the people. When the permanent campus would be operational, this things hopefully will be addressed.

Academics of this college is really good. I'm studying MBA core here and I have taken general management in the 2nd year. So, the teaching quality is really good with highly qualified facilities. The curriculum is not that updated but it's getting improved every year.
Placements are not that good as it should be in an IIM. But as a new college it is trying very hard to bring companies like other emerging IIMs are trying to do. Also, the gender ratio & the workex - freshers ratio isn't stable which affects the placement to some extent.
The IIM Amritsar is in the budding phase so the college doesn't have all the facilities like all the other established older IIMs. But despite operating from the temporary campus it has provided the students most of their necessary infrastructural requirement like football & cricket ground with hostel, proper bus & shuttle service etc.

Hello Aspirant,
Hope you are doing well !
Keeping in mind, both K J Somaiya Institute of Management, and IIM Amritsar both are really good colleges, in my opinion, IIM Amritsar would be the better option.
Though K J Somaiya's Highest package(26.5 LPA) is more than IIM Amritsar's(25.21 LPA). IIM Amritsar's average placement(14.63 LPA) is better than the other(10.59 LPA).
Also one of the most important quality you get in an IIM is it's brand. There is no doubt that IIM Amritsar has a brand much stronger than the other.
Hope my answer would help you.
