Indian Institute of Management Calcutta is a type of public business school.
It was formed in the year 1961.
It is located in Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
It is affiliated by AACSB, AMBA.

As you have asked about the Mentorship programme by IIM Calcutta, I am
giving you information about it

Every year, the External Relations Cell at IIM Calcutta launches a mentorship
program for IIM Calcutta call-getters.

Under the program - which is three years old - interested first year students
at IIM Calcutta act as guides to aspirants in the run-up to their admission in
the institute.

The mentorship program was instituted with a single purpose in mind: that
call-getters get all the help they will possibly need in securing admission to
the hallowed gates of Joka.

With the amount of information floating around in current times, it becomes
extremely difficult for students to decide which institute they will best fit in.

Through the program, every student who is interested in seeking admission
to IIM Calcutta is offered a peek into life on campus, so that he/she knows
what to expect as a student.

The mentorship program has three layers to it.

Each call-getter (mentee) is assigned a primary mentor (whose profile will
tend to be similar to that of the mentee in terms of sector/duration of work
experience, educational background etc.) and a secondary mentor, who will
provide additional guidance to the mentee if the mentee desires so, or if the
primary mentor is unable to tend to the mentee due to schedule constraints.

Questions ranging from what to expect in the interview and how to approach
the Group Discussion to minute details like how one can procure necessary
certificates from Government institutions and what to wear in the interview, nothing is outside the ambit of the mentorship program.

After candidates receive admits, city meets are held where prospective
juniors can meet their seniors and gain more information about IIM Calcutta
on a personal basis. It is also a great time for mentees to personally interact
with a few 1st year students and socialise with them, and vice versa
