Are there any similarities or differences between IILM University, Gurugram and government colleges?

IILM University Gurugram is located in Sector 53, a well-connected area of the city.

• It is accessible by road and metro, with the Sector 53–54 Rapid Metro station located at walking distance (barely a 1 min walk!).
• The Bus Stand is also at a walking distance (again, barely a minute!)
• Both cabs and autos can be found easily via uber, ola etc.
• There are also usually a number of autos already situated near the college

Students commuting from different parts of Gurugram or Delhi NCR find daily travel manageable. The surrounding area also has essential facilities like food outlets, medical services, and residential spaces, making it convenient for day scholars.

Psychology students at IILM Gurugram get strong research exposure woven into their coursework, internships, and specialised activities.​

In-built research in the curriculum

• From early semesters, students are trained in research methodology, statistics and psychological testing, and they learn how to design, conduct and interpret psychological studies.​

• BA/BSc (Hons) and MA/MSc Psychology programmes include lab work, practicums, fieldwork, surveys and small research projects as credit-bearing components, so research is part of regular academics, not an add-on.​

Projects, internships and centres

• Students work on applied research-driven assignments, internships and field visits in settings like hospitals, NGOs, schools, organisations and wellness centres, which helps them link theory with real-life behaviour and mental health issues.​

• Dedicated initiatives like the School of Psychology and the Centre for Emotional Intelligence support research and wellbeing projects, giving students opportunities to assist faculty, contribute to studies and build strong research-oriented profiles.

The first-year BBA curriculum at IILM University Gurugram is structured and engaging, but it is designed to be manageable and supportive rather than overwhelming, especially for students coming straight out of school. In the first year, you study core subjects like Principles of Management, Microeconomics, Business Communication, Accounting and basic Quantitative Techniques, spread across semesters with continuous internal assessments, projects and presentations instead of only high-pressure end-term exams. The workload includes regular classes, tutorials and group work, but faculty focus on concept clarity, case-based learning and skill-building, so students gradually adapt to the pace of a professional BBA without feeling burnt out.

Overall, it is intensive enough to build discipline and a strong foundation, yet balanced with co-curriculars and support systems, making it rigorous but comfortable for a sincere student.
