Should I join K J Somaiya PGDM FS or FORE PGDM?

SG
Samarth Gaur Posted On : January 6th, 2023
Simulation-based learning tools, brand engagements

FORE and KJ Somaiya are both excellent. The curriculum is designed in consultation with industry leaders and the growing demands of the industry as an ongoing process at FORE, making it relevant to the workplace. FORE has a strong connection with the corporate world and is a preferred destination for recruiters because it provides value to the recruiter as well. The average CTC offered by both institutes is nearly identical - FORE: INR 14.04 LPA & KJS: INR 12.28 LPA.

If you are not from Mumbai, you must also consider the cost of living. Delhi/NCR is always less expensive than Mumbai.

How is life after completing an MBA from IIM Nagpur?

RP
Rushiraj Patel Posted On : January 17th, 2023
Data Science Manager at EY | IIM Alumni | 9+ yr Exp

Once you end your college life, life is not the same anymore. You end up missing every moment spent whether enjoying or studying for your exams. Once you step into the real world you realize it’s now that the real-life issues begin. I have listed some good and bad things you will experience as an IIM pass out

Good things

  • Your living standards will have been improved because of the high package you received
  • You will have a new circle of friends
  • Many aspirants will look to you for inspiration.

Bad things

  • As an IIM pass-out, you will have to live up to its name and brand. People will expect you to excel in whatever you do.
  • You will be mistaken as arrogant because of your IIM tag
  • High tax payments have to be made
  • You have to repay the educational loans you have taken and sometimes it takes years to do so 

Apart from these situations, you might face serious criticism if you give up your job and initiate entrepreneurship.

How is IIM Ranchi MBA finance?

PG
Payal Gupta Posted On : January 11th, 2023
Studied Accounting and Finance (Graduated 2022)

Since you are curious about finance only, I will try to answer your question based on the Finance domain only. To elaborate let’s consider the following merits and demerits 

Merits

  • Placements: IIM Ranchi is a new IIM so you cannot get front-end IB roles right off the bat. Yet it offers many roles that can be your stepping stones into the finance world. It does not offer front roles in IB, PE, VC, and bulge bracket equity research. One cannot expect such roles in the near future. But the fact is all these roles are available at the top IIMs only to the cream students. So if your profile is the same, changing the institute won’t matter. Many reputed Investment Banks offer middle office roles like Private credit, Debt capital firms, and Outsourced financial research firms. These roles can kick start your career in finance if not grant you a high-paying job.
  • Faculty: The finance faculty is just average here and only those who are really motivated and determined can survive. Some even quit finance in the second year due to the same reason. The teaching quality is diverse and some may find it not at par with their expectations.
  • Crowd: Most of the students opt for Finance as one of their majors in the second year. Additionally, a team even won the CFA RC India competition and represented India in the Asia Pacific finals. So the crowd is diverse and of premium quality.
  • CFA: The CFA Certification aims at enhancing finance knowledge and placements at large. The class lectures combined with the theoretical knowledge of CFA will make it very easy for you to understand Finance in depth.

Demerits: 

  • Lack of major front-end role opportunities 
  • Tools like Bloomerang are not much common in the curriculum 
  • The relatively new courses in Finance like PE/VC, alternative investments, REITs, SPACs, IPO financing, and M&A are not given enough focus.
  • The teaching faculty needs to be improved

All in all I think IIM Ranchi is a decent choice for Finance and in the years to come will have improved a lot.

MBA in Mark, Fin and Sys Business Management, Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (2019)

My friend was a student at XIMB and all the points mentioned below are based on his experience at XIMB.

  • Location: Located at the center of the city, no commute difficulties are posed and you can access all off-campus facilities with ease. But the new campus is a bit far from the city and is bigger. Both campuses have world-class facilities.
  • Campus Life: Life at XIMB is rigorous and lively and you will always be occupied with classes, committee elections, quizzes, case study competitions, cultural events, and guest lectures. But this rigor will help you learn time management. Nightlife on campus is exciting as a number of exciting things take place at night
  • Friendships: Every good college experience requires a good group of friends without which your survival might become more difficult. This friendship will stay with you throughout the year.
  • Hostel: The hostel life is thrilling and you will develop an affinity for your Hostel and your Hostel Block will become your pride and identity.
  • Faculty: The faculty reside within the campus and are some of the best in the country. 
  • Case Study Competitions: You can participate in all the major case study competitions to portray your business problem-solving skills.
  • Xpressions: This event is in the limelight of the Institute as it showcases what XIMB actually is. The event welcomes some of the top celebrities and gives an exciting experience.
  • Placements: Placements are at level with the top 20 colleges. XIMB maintains a decent placement record over years. Recently, the institute released its 2022 placement report. According to the report, the highest salary, average salary & median salary increased by nearly 34.2%, 15.78% & 17.9% respectively as compared to the previous year. The highest salary offered was INR 32.21 LPA & average salary stood at INR 17.54 LPA. The median salary offered was INR 17.10 LPA.

Life at XIMB will give you an abundance of memories and knowledge about yourself, life and competitions. Make the best of those 2 years and try to be involved in every possible activity as you won’t get to relive these days and get back those days again.
