What is the actual average salary for NMIMS Mumbai? Is it really worthwhile to do an MBA from NMIMS, considering the huge fees and inflated placement reports?

RM
Rohan Mitra Posted On : January 18th, 2022
studied at SVKM's NMIMS (2019)

One of my friends got into NMIMS through NMAT. According to him, it was not the most sorted choice as their rankings and placement reports are inflated.

  • They show an average package of 16 LPA being offered to 550 students but it is impossible to get that.
  • Usually students receive a 12-13 LPA for core subjects and 9-10 LPA for HR.
  • NMIMS is a popular brand, thus the brand name attracts lots of students in Hyderabad and Bangalore campus. But they are not good enough as generally promoted.
  • IMT, NMIMS, SIBM, XIMB were once one of the top private B-schools . But their standards have degraded recently. Only MDI managed to maintain and move forward.
  • No other B-school increased fees like NMIMS. Its fees are more than XLRI and IIM A, B and C.
  • The building at NMIMS is also not great, according to the fees that they charge.
  • No other college charges its candidates for conducting CDPI or GDPI. Whereas NMIMS students have to pay 1000 rupees.
  • After the release of the results, students have to pay fees of about 9 lakhs in just 1 week.

Spending a huge amount for MBA education is not a great idea. People might consider it an investment, but you have to make an informed decision by also considering the ROI. Therefore, if you are an outstation student consider other colleges than NMIMS.

Why is IIM Lucknow reputed to have the most rigorous MBA programme in India?

Epil Gagrai Posted On : April 2nd, 2024

Not just IIM Lucknow but all the IIMs and the top B-Schools offers a rigorous MBA program. MBA in itself is a very challenging course because it is designed to prepare the students for the corporate world, to handle stress and to manage their time efficiently. 

IIM Lucknow MBA is considered challenging because of it comprehensive curriculum. There are lectures from morning to evening covering all the courses. It is also mandatory for the students to maintain a 80% attendance. The classes are usually interactive and the faculties expect the students to come prepared to the class with the topics that will be covered. 

Then there are rigorous case studies, group project, and presentations, which demands significant time and effort. All the faculty members have a different way of teaching, some can conduct surprise test in every session or some go with presentations and case studies. 

Then there are term exams and the preparation of summer internship, which is also a part of the curriculum. The competitive environment and the networking expectations also makes the course difficult for the students. 

The majority of the time of the students is consumed within the classroom. Most of the free time is also spend in group discussions for projects and presentations. So students usually struggle to find time for themselves, which makes than feel that the course is difficult. But within a few months most of the students adjust to this life and are able to manage time both for studies and leisure work like sports, club activities etc.

AR
Ajay Rathi Posted On : April 28th, 2026

  • research powerhouse. one of the best research environments in India for CS — NLP, AI, Vision, Speech research groups are world-class
  • dual degree (BTech + MS) is very popular and opens strong PhD paths abroad
  • admission via UGEE (their own exam) + JEE Main score. Hyderabad city location
  • placements: avg ~Rs.25-35 LPA. top packages from Google, Microsoft, FAANG-level. strong for research-oriented careers
  • small batch, high peer quality, intense academics

BITS Pilani CSE:

  • industry-focused academic freedom. zero attendance, you manage your own time
  • Practice School internship at Google, DE Shaw, Goldman Sachs etc. — massive differentiator for industry careers
  • admission via BITSAT only (not JEE)
  • placements: avg ~Rs.25-30 LPA. similar range to IIIT-H but more industry-facing

How do I go about choosing between JNU and DSE for MA Economics?

SR
Salini Roy Posted On : October 18th, 2021
M.A. Economics, Jawaharlal Nehru University (2018)

Both the courses are distinct from one another.

At DSE, they train you rigorously in mathematics. And this is an important part of your journey but that is about the only part DSE focuses on. Economic theory at DSE will give you an edge over a lot of other institutions and get your foot in the door inside a lot of big names in finance.

Now coming to JNU, they don’t give a lot of emphasis on Maths but they make sure you read a lot more than you will read at DSE. This means you build a well-rounded view of the world and how economies function. This is a good thing as it will help you very much in mainstream research and things like journalism where you need to know a lot of things. 

Also, at JNU reading thoroughly is a part of the curriculum which is not the same in DSE. With the curriculum at JNU, you will discover different schools of thought and learn to think for yourself. 

Overall, choosing JNU will be better.
