Day dreamer. I wish to excel in whatever i pursue in life.
IPM is not an easy program. The batch size was 120 when they took admission in the first year. By the time they reached the fourth year, 24 students had flunked. But the 96 IPM students give a tough competition to PGP, with several places in the top 5% of the batch being bagged by IPMers.
