However, previous batch statistics suggest that CAT or XAT percentages in the 70s or higher, along with JEE Main percentages above, have consistently led to strong admissions.

The top 10% of the batch averaged ₹13.64 LPA, and the drive saw 100% placement participation. Deloitte, KPMG, TCS, and Reliance were among the leading recruiters this year, while past drives have also brought in Wipro, Kotak Bank, HDFC Bank, Asian Paints, ICICI, and RBL Bank. In the 2025 cycle, consulting was the top-hiring sector at 17% of total offers, followed by IT/Analytics at 14% and BFSI/FinTech at 13%.

Based on student reviews, IILM Greater Noida has been rated about 4 out of 5 for facilities and faculty, with placements scoring lower.

Hostel facilities are provided separately for boys and girls, under the warden's supervision, in double- and triple-occupancy rooms.
A standout facility on campus is the IILM Innovation Foundation (IILMIF) — a non-profit startup incubation center offering co-working space, a design lab, mentorship, and industry-investor connections for students working on early-stage ventures, along with support for seed funding and compliance.
Aerial shots and campus photos show a mix of academic blocks, hostel buildings, and open green spaces typical of the Knowledge Park institutional belt, alongside dedicated sports grounds and the incubation center building.
Frequently Asked Questions — IILM University
For students comparing IILM Greater Noida with nearby options like Sharda, Galgotias, GL Bajaj, or Lloyd, its strongest pull points are its flexibility in accepting six different MBA entrance exams, a fairly generous scholarship structure, and a genuinely active incubation ecosystem for students leaning toward entrepreneurship rather than a conventional placement. BTech and law placements here are steady rather than standout. Still, the MBA program's ranking trajectory and consulting-heavy recruiter mix make it a reasonably strong pick for management aspirants across the Delhi-NCR belt.
