Which is the better option, JBIMS or IIM Lucknow?
Considering the ROI and fees, JBIMS is a better option than IIM Lucknow. Also, it is affiliated with Mumbai University so has a brand name also. But in reality, these factors are short-term and cannot be considered if you are investing in your career.
Overall, IIM Lucknow has an upper hand in almost all aspects. Be it placements, faculty, or brand name. Had I been in your place I would have chosen IIM Lucknow mainly because
- Strong alumni base spread throughout India and even globally
- It is a residential campus. The hostel facility is top notch and living and interacting with your batchmates is a great experience.
Both these aspects are lacking in the case of JBIMS because it is standalone and has a very weak alumni network. It also lacks accommodation facilities.
Overall both colleges have roughly the same worth and choosing one over the other is just a matter of preference.
What should I choose between SBI PO and NMIMS Mumbai?
To understand this better, let’s discuss the pros and cons of both institutes and then draw an opinion.
Pros of SBI PO
- Fewer fees
- Growth at a steady pace
- Certainty of job
- Experience
Cons of SBI PO
- Lower median packages when compared to NMIMS Mumbai
- Sometimes you might get a rural posting
- The pace of growth is slower than a corporate job
- Crowd quality is average
Pros of NMIMS
- The packages offered are better in terms of pay and roles
- You will experience great exposure here
- Larger peer group thus a bigger alumni network
- You get to live in Mumbai, the city of dreams for 2 years.
Cons of NMIMS
- You become a slave to the corporate world and have zero time for yourself
- The fees and accommodation costs are very high
- The job security is weaker in comparison to SBI PO
My personal opinion is that if you are in the initial stage of your career, SBI PO is a better option but if you are 3-4 years into your career and are looking for an MBA to open more opportunities, then NMIMS is for you.
Should I join IIM Rohtak IPM?
The IPM program of IIM Rohtak is not at par with the PGP program and therefore I will suggest that you should go for it only if you have no better options. The reasons why I am against this program so much are
- It is one of the most expensive Undergraduate courses in India and the final placements are not worth the huge fees.
- The course is relatively new so they are still experimenting with the curriculum and pedagogy decreasing its credibility.
- Despite stretching over 200 Acres, the IIM Rohtak’s campus is partially not completed.
- The ROI is extremely low
- There is no mess facility adding to the already extravagant fees of the institute.
- The faculty is below average. To compensate for this they hold guest lectures.
Considering all the above points, I will recommend you to take up an Undergraduate course from any college and then go for an MBA from a top B School. By doing IPM you merely will be wasting 5 years and over 30 Lakhs.
Is iim amritsar worth joining at the age of 21?
The younger you are, the more opportunities you will receive. So don’t let the age factor discourage you. It’s highly possible that the old IIMs did not consider you. Think of the bright side. You are young and you have multiple CAT opportunities.
What you can do is work somewhere and gain experience. This might upgrade your profile. Inculcate extracurricular skills and prepare yourself well for the next batch of CAT aspirants. Keep trying till your dream comes true.
What is the counselling process at IET Lucknow College?
The counseling procedure at IET Lucknow College is straightforward. You only need to bring all the required documents and the fee receipt. Then they'll take you to a room where you'll get a token and wait for your turn. When it is your turn, you will be taken to a computer room. The staff member will fill in all of your details and preferences. Then you will be given a receipt for that as well, which you must present at the relevant college. That's how the counseling process is.
Which one should I choose, IIM Raipur or SIMSREE (Sydenham)? I am an average mechanical engineering graduate. I have offers from both of them. Which one should you suggest?
If you choose IIM Raipur you can definitely grab the IIM tag. But in reality, SIMSREE is one of the oldest B Schools and thus has a better plethora of opportunities. Joining SIMSREE is a better choice because
- It is one of the oldest colleges in India
- It is located in Mumbai, the financial capital of India
- 100% placement record
- Amazing ROI
- Small-batch size
- Decent faculty base
You can avail so many opportunities by joining SIMSREE but will only get an IIM tag if you join IIM Raipur. Moreover, you will be burdened with repaying the loan. IIM Raipur might also not have top firms visit the campus for placements due to its location.
So it’s better to join SIMSREE and focus on the technical aspect of an MBA than join IIM Raipur just for the brand name.
Which one should I join, XIMB BM or IIM Amritsar?
If you have to choose between XIMB and IIM Amritsar I will always suggest you go for IIM Amritsar. Apart from the IIM tag, its relentless growth is a major deciding factor. The ROI at XIMB is very less in comparison to IIM. The points below will help you understand my point.
- The fee of IIM Amritsar is INR 12 Lakhs whereas that of XIMB is INR 20 Lakhs.
- The Average package is almost similar to the 2 colleges ( IIM Amritsar- INR 14.63 LPA and XIMB- INR 15.42 LPA). So when compared to the fees XIMB has a lower ROI than IIM Amritsar.
- IIM Amritsar has witnessed fast-paced growth in recent years.
- It is the only and best MBA college in the whole of Punjab
- The batch size is smaller than that of XIMB and it’s an extra benefit when it comes to placement opportunities.
So IIM Amritsar is the best option among the 3 colleges.
What is a better choice, take a job at Infosys as a fresher or pursue an MBA at IIM Nagpur?
I cannot answer your question directly but I can direct you to answer it yourself. Choosing something related to your career requires constant analysis of your own interests.
Now let’s look at the 2 options you have. Taking a job at Infosys as a fresher or pursuing an MBA from IIM Nagpur. One choice may be right for someone and wrong for the other person. So it’s up to you to decide.
You should join Infosys only if you are interested in solving technical problems. You will be trained at the training facility at Mysore and made to inculcate impeccable technical skills. You will be dealing with the technological aspects of the company. like working on features of a product, and solving/reporting bugs for a product. Your future job prospects include becoming a Technical Analyst, Tech lead, or other tech-savvy roles. You need to have a serious interest in this area if you choose this option.
You should pursue an MBA from Nagpur or any other IIM only if you are interested in solving business problems. Here you will be taught by world-class faculty for 2 years who will teach you the various dimensions of business management. You will have to participate in case studies, quizzes, classroom participation, presentations, group assignments, club activities, etc. During the second year, you can focus on one or two of your favorite domains. MBA will open doors for big placement offers.
So what matters, in the end, is what you want to do in life and what you are passionate about.
Which IIM amongst the two should one join, IIM Ranchi and IIM Raipur?
If we talk about the brand value and worth of these two IIMs I don’t think there are many dissimilarities. The difference between the two is some personal level factors like
Campus: IIM Ranchi has no permanent campus and this is one of the major shortcomings of this institute. IIM Raipur on the other hand has a vast 200-acre campus. It is decked with world-class facilities and will give you the feeling of staying at a hotel.
Placements: IIM Raipur has better placements than IIM Ranchi and for many, this is a major deciding factor. The table below compares the placement statistics of the two IIMs.
