How do I apply for the management quota in NMIMS for a BBA?

RM
Rishab Mittal Posted On : May 26th, 2021
BBA Business Management & Marketing, SVKM’s NMIMS (2016)

There is no direct option for entry into NMIMS for a BBA through management quota. There are no such forms or applications released by the institute for such cases. But, there are other options that may lead to such an entry into NMIMS. The points below are a brief overview of how a student can get a management quota seat in NMIMS.

Generally, students clear NMAT-UG to get a seat in institutes like NMIMS for a BBA degree. But, there are some entries through the management quota too.

  • For a management quota seat, you need a recommendation from trustees. You can get in touch with someone from the SVKM board. 
  • For a management quota seat in BBA, NMIMS may charge around Rs. 10 Lac donation, which is a huge amount. 
  • Such an amount is not worth the BBA degree. You should try for some other institute, or prepare for NMAT next year.

Therefore, it is possible to get a management quota seat in NMIMS, but in an indirect way, and with a great expense.

Which educational course is better- IPM from IIM Indore or BBA+MBA from Christ University Bangalore?

AI
Aditya Iyer Posted On : December 21st, 2022
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (Graduated 2017)

Choosing between IIM and Christ University is not a difficult decision. Without second thoughts, forgo the offer from Christ University and go for IIM Indore. This is because

  • The title of IIM is more than enough to open opportunities for you in the future
  • You will get better exposure and crowd at IIM than at Christ university
  • Obviously the placement opportunities are better at IIM than at any other university.

Particulars 

IIM Indore 

Christ University

Average CTC

INR 24.09 LPA

INR 15 LPA

Highest CTC

INR 21.46 LPA

INR 49 LPA

Even if both the colleges offer similar packages IIM has a bigger brand image and will help you in the long run.

How was your experience in IPM IIM Indore student exchange programme in the third year? What are the details of your trip (expenses, study, travel, etc)??

DT
Deepak Tiwari Posted On : January 2nd, 2023
MBA from Institute of Rural Management, Anand (Graduated 2020)

My friend had the opportunity to get selected for the student exchange program in the third year. She shared her amazing experience.

She was sent to the University of Latvia. Studying in Europe gave her the freedom to explore it, make new friends from every corner of the world and most importantly gain knowledge about different economies.

Expenses

The total expenditure amounted to approximately ?4–5 lac for the five months she spent there. However, she was lucky to get an ERASMUS+ grant which covered most of her expenses.

Study

You are free to opt for any course of your choice provided that you complete the minimum credits criteria of IIM Indore. It’s recommended that you go for such a course that satiates your interests and is unavailable in your country. Some of them include International Law and Culture.

Travel 

You can travel to most of Europe if you have a Type-D Visa. The climate is extremely cold and you will not be able to adjust initially.

Food

There are no mess facilities, only college canteens. The taste of the food is not up to our taste. But spending much on food is futile. You can spend the maximum on traveling and you won’t regret it.

My friend had a great time as an exchange student at the University of Latvia thanks to its relaxed ambiance.

Absolutely, it is true. It has been seen that many students who have average academic scores are selected in IIM Indore for the IPM course. Basically, the selection is based on the criteria that include aptitude test score, personal interview, and written ability test for which the scores required are 50 percent, 35 percent, and 15 percent respectively.

Will poor marks in 12th (around 68%) and a drop year have any affect on IPM IIM Indore interview?

SU
Sidhant Unnithan Posted On : January 2nd, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Indore

Obviously, a low score may affect your interview but only a little. The key is to justify your low scores confidently and also answer any questions that are asked from your 12th syllabus.

Another way is to highlight your extra-curricular activities and achievements. Mention your other strengths but don’t lie about anything.

As far as the drop year is concerned I don’t think it will be much of a hurdle in your selection process because a major chunk of IPM students has taken a drop year. Still, you should be able to specify the reason for the same if asked.

Which university is better for BBA Calcutta University or Amity University Kolkata?

AR
Arnav Roy Posted On : June 15th, 2023
Lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

Even though Calcutta University is one of the oldest and most-renowned Indian universities, it has a very strict marking system.

Though Amity University is new and does not have the history that Calcutta University does, if you work hard you can score good marks in your BBA and get admission to a prestigious university for your MBA.

Amity’s environment can be a bit distracting at times, however, it is upon the students to maintain a good academic score.

In terms of placements, Calcutta University’s brand will hold importance and even the recruiters are aware that 55-60% is the score of the top students at Calcutta University. On the other hand, Calcutta University’s marking scheme can also cause problems during placements because regardless of the reputation of an institution, if the students do not score more than 50%, some companies will simply not allow them to sit for the placements.

Other factors that can guide your decision are - Ease of travel/Distance from home, Fee vs Potential, and the reason for pursuing the particular course, among others.

Amity is on the costlier side, but the faculties at both are equally good.

Both the institutes are a good choice, however, Amity University is more beneficial considering all the factors.

What are the odds of converting a TAPMI call for a fresher (BBA) with 88% in CAT, 10th - 78, 12th - 79 and grad 66?

HT
Hitesh Takran Posted On : May 2nd, 2023
Studied at T. A. Pai Management Institute

Even though your 10th and 12th-grade graduation rates are low, you have a good chance. I think you will convert it if you do well on the GD/PI. A lot depends on your resume, including your extracurricular activities and other things. As the final selection is based on multiple factors and a person with a good profile has a high chance of getting into TAPMI.

TAPMI uses Profile-based Shortlisting. Shortlisted profiles include:

  • Valid CAT/XAT/GMAT/NMAT/CMAT scores (higher)
  • Academic Performance (10th, 12th, Graduation, Overall)
  • Work Experience (Company, Months)
  • Extracurricular Achievements (State/National/International if any)
  • SOP: Statement Of Purpose

Below is a list of courses offered and CAT percentile required to qualify:

Which is better: H.B.Econ. from SRCC or IPM from IIM Indore?

AP
Amrapali Patel Posted On : August 30th, 2021
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Indore (2020)

SRCC is an established and well-known institution affiliated with the University of Delhi. The institution has a pretty good faculty and the curriculum being taught there is also considered to be of high standards. If you are planning to prepare a solid CV for your career, I would suggest that you opt for a course of your interest at SRCC. 

These are just some views I gathered by interacting with students of these institutes. 

  • The curriculum followed at IPM has been mocked by several candidates because of its diversity. It does not include specific topics for a particular specialization. 
  • However, for the batch of 2016-21, a new curriculum has been introduced by the authorities which is more focussed on areas like Economics, Quantitative aptitude, Philosophy, Psychology, and Sociology. 
  • These areas are also considered to be the 5 pillars of management at the PGDM level by many individuals working in the field of business and management.
  • The placement of the institution is also quite good with the average package approximately equal to the amount which usually gets offered to candidates studying at the Postgraduate level. 
Categories Economics (Hons.) at SRCC IPM at IIM Indore
Course Fee 45,000 26 lakh
Course Duration 3 years 5 years
Highest CTC 25 LPA 28 LPA
Average CTC 8-10 LPA 15-18 LPA
Recruiting Companies Deloitte, KPMG, EY, Amazon, etc. ICICI Bank, American Express, Mindtree, HCL, etc.

My brother was eligible for admission at SRCC but instead, he opted for IPM because it was favoring his interests, environment, and several other factors. You can too make a decision based on your interests and several other factors which you think are important for your career.
