Is IPM IIM Indore T.I.M.E online coaching good?

RA
Ritika Acharya Posted On : August 25th, 2021
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (2019)

One of my friends took T.I.M.E online coaching for IPM at IIM Indore and having read online reviews from similar aspirants here are some things I got to know.

  • This is a 5 years course. The reviews are average. A good path would be to go for CAT after your graduation. 
  • But if T.I.M.E is what you want, then it is undoubtedly a good coaching institute for the CAT exam preparation. However, it will only help you if you do serious preparation. 
  • During the offline coaching, things would be different and you can perform much better than while learning at online coaching.

It is suggested that offline preparation in TIME would be much better than enrolling online. So try to enroll in a classroom course if possible.

Should I opt for CA or IPM from IIM?

DT
Darshika Tondon Posted On : January 12th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Indore

You cannot make such a binary comparison between IPM and CA.

  • IPM:

You will learn topics from a variety of fields in this program, including math, science, economics, sociology, psychology, law, accountancy, and the arts. The PGDM curriculum that follows teaches you the fundamentals of finance, marketing, human resources, operations, information technology, etc., and prepares you to specialize in any subject of your choice. Regardless of your academic performance, you will be able to spend 5 years at an IIM after graduation. This strengthens your character in a way that is impossible in CA, where you must make all of your own preparations. You'll be able to interact with the best minds in the nation all at once thanks to it. Early exposure to cultural differences is crucial for the development of your personality and professionalism. The fact that IPM students receive the same treatment as PGDM students place a great deal of responsibility on them.

  • CA:

CA is a professional program that develops your accounting skills and offers competitive pay. However, doing so necessitates independent study, which calls for strong self-discipline. It lacks the social learning component, which must be made up for in another way.

You should choose IPM and pursue CFA, actuarial, or another type of certification intermittently. Many people have chosen to do this, and the outcomes have been very positive; they have been hired by prestigious financial institutions like JPMC, DE Shaw, Nomura, etc.

Is MSU Baroda good for a BBA, or should I go for other options?

SB
Sumit Baraiya Posted On : December 29th, 2022
Studied Electrical Engineering at The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda

Your decision actually depends on the fact if you want to pursue BBA or you want to study at MSU. This is because if your sole interest is in BBA then trust me there are many better colleges for it. But if you are adamant about studying at MSU, then it’s better you search for your own interests.

I will recommend you take the aptitude test which is free in the psychology department. This test will let you decide what to study. Don’t be a part of the herd and pursue what others are pursuing. Rather follow your own interest that you will not regret later.

Is the IPM program at IIM Indore very competitive? How many students take part in the IPM test every year on an average & what's the awareness level of IPM?

BR
Bhavna Rastogi Posted On : September 3rd, 2021
IPM from Indian Institute of Management Indore (2022)

IIM Indore is a major deal in and of itself. According to my friends studying at IIM Indore, around 15000 students (approximately) took the aptitude test last year.

  • This year's figures will rise as the IIM bill is enacted, and the first class of IPM graduates is placed 100% of the time, with an average package of 17.5 lakh. 
  • In the following years, it will undoubtedly be difficult. 
  • For the past three years, IPM has received between 15 and 19 thousand applications. 
  • Every year, 120 people are accepted. 
  • As a result, the math would lead you to believe it's more difficult to get into, than IITs and other prestigious institutions. 

But that is not just the case, you can get in if you have above-average intelligence and can solve problems quickly. If you approach the interview casually, admission can become difficult.

Should I do a BBA from Christ University or IBS hyderabad?

SC
Sathwik Chandra Posted On : February 14th, 2023
MBA in Marketing, ICFAI Business School, Hyderabad (Graduated 2018)

It’s your attitude towards learning that matters more than the college itself. Yet if I have to comment on the two colleges, I would say Christ University is a fairly good choice. The main reasons are

  • The fest culture makes you come out of your comfort zones and test your limits and diversify your talents.
  • The overqualified rules set by the college increase your patience level ten folds
  • You get to live in Bangalore, the city of innumerable opportunities and dreams.

However, if you are joining the college with the mindset of being taught then you need to rectify it. Here it’s you who has to force yourself to learn no one is going to push you. Anyone who wants to learn about business, in reality, will not be able to gain much from this B School. The B School churns out managers only. Rarely does it give birth to a business owner or entrepreneur despite the university’s module for entrepreneurship in a semester.
