The alumni network is fairly active. There are guest lectures, webinars, and panel discussions led by alumni who are now working in top companies. It is quite relatable because they've been exactly in our position as IILM students. Many seniors also offer informal mentorship through LinkedIn or college connections. Alumni also sometimes give internship referrals, especially in marketing, HR, and analytics roles. During placement season, alumni sometimes guide us on what specific companies expect, what questions are asked, and how to perform well.

Yes, the psychology department is surprisingly well organized for a private university. The university has dedicated labs for behavioural experiments, psychometric testing, and counselling practice. In practical sessions, students actually work with tools like aptitude tests, personality assessments, attention span tests, and reaction-time instruments. The professors encourage students to conduct small studies, interact with clients during supervised counselling sessions, and participate in community outreach. It gives a very real sense of what psychological work actually looks like.
