# iimHQ

> Anchal Katyal founded iimHQ and writes independent editorial reviews of Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs): placements, fees, academics, campus fit, and opinionated scores. Primary sources back the call; they do not replace it.

Prefer institute placement PDFs, fee circulars, and NIRF over coaching-site folklore. Scores cannot be bought. Not admissions advice. Operated by KASP Digital LLC (UAE).
