Should I join IIM Shillong or IIFT Kolkata?

ZZ
Zakir Zafar Posted On : January 16th, 2023
MBA in Master of Business Administration Degrees, Indian Institute of Management Shillong (Graduated 2019)

Both colleges are worth considering for a good career. Since its establishment in 2006, IIFT Kolkata has been climbing the ladder to success. The excellent performance in corporate competitions is a testimony to that. IIM Shillong is among the fastest-growing new IIMs and its alums are making a name in the industry.

We usually judge a college's worth based on factors like Alumni network, teaching pedagogy, corporate competition wins, etc. Yet, here I am going to simply make a domain-wise comparison. This is because when choosing a college focus should not be on the college but on your own interests. Identifying the domain you want to enter is necessary only then you can choose a college that excels in that respective domain.

  • Marketing: Many Marketing firms visit only IIFT and not IIM Shillong giving it an advantage in this aspect.
  • Finance: Finance is better at IIFT as the hotshots like Goldman Sachs only visit IIFT.
  • Operations: Both the B Schools excel in this domain.
  • Trade: Without any doubt, IIFT is the hub of Trade.
  • Consulting: Consulting is better at IIFT because top firms like GEP, and CEB visit its campus only.
  • IT: Both the B Schools are visited by top firms like Google.

What should I choose between an MBA from IIM Amritsar and central excise inspector or other inspector jobs from SSC CGL?

AT
Akash Tiwari Posted On : January 19th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Amritsar

Looking at the 2 options provided by you, I can say IIM Amritsar is definitely a better choice. I have seen many people regret going for CGL. 

Excise Inspector is the worst post of CGL and many of them retire as superintendents themselves. The transfer is banned in CBIC so no matter which remote area you have been posted to, you have to stay there for 15-20 years until you become Assistant Commissioner which is rare.

You can change your life in two ways 

  • Crack UPSC
  • Or leave the post and prepare for CAT

You can become a CEO through the second option. I have many acquaintances who left the CGL and went for CAT and today are entrepreneurs or CEOs. Surely the job at CGL provides security but the job itself is not worth it.

Can I crack CAT while studying in IIM Raipur?

RJ
Rohan Jain Posted On : January 20th, 2023
M.B.A. from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (Graduated 2016)

The one-liner answer to your question is - Yes you can crack CAT while studying full-time at IIM Raipur but you should not. This is because it entirely depends on your motivation and dedication. Without that, you won’t be able to prepare for CAT well and even end up affecting your PGP score. 

I know a person who was able to ace this. He prepared for CAT relentlessly alongside pursuing PGP. He worked day and night, sacrificed his sleep, and was able to get into IIM Kozhikode. But what you need to understand from this is that it was a very uncommon and rare situation. Other students of the same batch tried the same but one was able to crack CAT.

It all comes down to how serious you are about joining a better IIM. If you are confident enough to ace the CAT and not let its preparation affect your PGP scores, then we’ll do well. Go for it!

Is it worth taking a loan in order to attend the Goa Institute of Management?

SP
Samradhni Pradhan Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
Content Consultant & Writer at MBA Rendezvous (2018–present)

Taking a loan is a wise decision only if you are confident that you can risk the high fees and excel. You should be determined to achieve your goal while putting a hefty amount at stake. Once you are ready to go for MBA make a list of your most preferred institutes. Target the best B schools.

Goa Institute of Management is indeed a reputed B School and is rated amongst the best. Don’t be too hesitant to choose this one. The placements are the best not only in terms of average packages but also in the kind of roles offered and the kind of companies visited. Other factors on which GIM excels are its industry exposure, permanent and visiting faculty, and elaborate alumni network.

To be more certain contact alumni and enquire about the B Schools details. Having clarity of goals is a big step before making a big decision like taking a loan.
