We read the Google rating and the 50 newest Google ratings for IMT Ghaziabad, and 47 Reddit threads. We also read 6 older Quora answers and a few public LinkedIn posts. Reddit pages gave us the post and comment extracts shown in search results, not every comment in full.
We kept posts from current students, alumni and applicants that gave specific detail, with 2025 and 2026 posts first.
We left out aggregator review pages, paid or promoted posts, college material, AI summaries, jokes, deleted posts and short replies. We left out any fee, cutoff, package or rank quoted in a post, allegations about named people, and posts we could not tie to IMT Ghaziabad.
Of the 50 newest Google ratings, only 9 had written text, so the star rating carries more weight than the words. Students rarely discuss food and the city in a way we could trust, so we say little on them here. Quora answers were mostly older, so we used them only to confirm points seen on Reddit. Read the IMT Ghaziabad fees and IMT Ghaziabad placements pages for the official figures.
IMT Ghaziabad is worth it if you want marketing, can stay in the upper part of a very large batch and do not need to borrow most of the fee. Think twice if you depend on a big loan, are offered the Dual Country Programme, or want a small batch.

| Faculty, mainly in marketing and finance | Some students still unplaced late in the season |
| Marketing strength and a helpful alumni network | Dual Country Programme costs more and has harder final placements |
| Fee that covers hostel and mess, lower than some peers | Slow and unclear admission replies |
