Here are some points to consider:

Which is best for MBA HR: SIBM Pune or NMIMS Mumbai or SCMHRD?

SG
Sujoy Ghosh Posted On : July 16th, 2021
Studied at University of Mumbai (2019)

The colleges that you have mentioned are quite old and reputed, leaving behind a history of a great placement record and a bright future.

Human Resources has become a promising field in today’s time. A good HR assures that the aspects of the business they work for proves to be fulfilled along with allowing the employees their own space wherein they give importance to the clients.

Based on certain parameters, allow me to compare all the three institutes so that it gets convenient to choose the B-School of your choice.

Categories SIBM Pune NMIMS Mumbai SCMHRD
Course Fee 17.26 lakh 6.04 lakh 11.94 lakh
Highest CTC 35 LPA 16 LPA 18-21 LPA
Average CTC 18 LPA 8 LPA 10 LPA
Recruiting Companies Crisil, HSBC, etc. Berger, ITC, etc. Mindtree, ICICI Bank, etc.

My suggestion would be to consider NMAT and even SNAP so that you get a better view to choose from. Some promising prospects are indeed offered by NMIMS and SIBM-P, but I believe you should go for that particular institute which is reputed for its HR department.

What are my chances of getting into NMIMS Mumbai with a 1900 merit number?

AD
Anuraag Das Posted On : May 19th, 2023
Studied at MBA from NMIMS (2020)

The exam pattern for NMAT has been modified, and the cut-off is not predictable until the level of questions is known. There is very little waitlist movement in NMIMS Mumbai and it is difficult to convert with a 1900 merit number. However, there are other campuses that you can consider.

You can take another attempt at NMAT this year and try to perform better in the CDPI rounds, which have a considerable impact on the merit rank.

How is the placement scenario at NMIMS Mumbai for a BSc in finance degree?

SM
Shreya Matta Posted On : February 28th, 2023
MBA from K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research (SIMSR) (Graduated 2019)

If the NMIMS Mumbai BSc in Finance placement scenario can be described in a single word then pathetic it is. The placement committee is substandard and leaves almost more than half of the batch unplaced. During my sister's batch, the placement coordinator was switched in the midst of the placement session which was a highly irresponsible way to handle the situation. There was no coordinator for more than 3 months in between. The pre-placement activities that had to be initiated in July began in September and this delay affected the placements drastically.

There is high competition between NMIMS and other B Schools like NM, Mithibai, and UPG. So despite many top companies visiting the campus, the roles offered were mediocre. So joining NMIMS for BSc Finance with the prospect of getting a package above 8 LPA is useless.

Which is a better option to pursue from MPSTME, NMIMS, Mumbai- IT or Computer Engineering?

RB
Rohan Bajaj Posted On : July 16th, 2021
Studied at University of Mumbai (2019)

The important thing is your choice and interest. If you are not interested in the subject, you will face difficulty completing the course. Being an IT student I am a little biased about the field.

  • Keep in mind that premier universities such as IITs and BITS lack IT. This is due to the fact that IT is not a legitimate branch. It was exclusively created to meet the industry’s needs.
  • Consider a CS engineer as an auto engineer and an IT engineer as a mechanic or a driver. It is, in fact, a very well-paid job, but that is all there is to it.
  • You'll be hired by organizations that specialize in maintenance and software development.
  • Any research or new innovations in the realm of computers are almost always carried out by CS or ECE engineers.
  • IT is mostly concerned with computers and software. CSE, on the other hand, is a discipline of mathematics with a concentration on computing.
  • In IT, you have to concentrate on software rather than the backend whereas in CSE you will learn more about computers and applied mathematics.
  • When it comes to job placements, both streams have good placement records. Due to their huge demand in the growing corporate industry, there will always be the requirement for IT professionals.

Thus, there are some differences between IT and CSE. Some subjects are similar, some faculty members are also the same. They are approached by the same companies like Accenture, Cognizant, TCS, IBM, Tech Mahindra, Morgan Stanley, Mindtree, Capgemini, HCL, HP, Dell, Wipro, Infosys, etc.

Should I join NMIMS Mumbai (MBA core) or wait for another year

VP
Varun Pandya Posted On : February 28th, 2023
MBA from SVKM's NMIMS (2015)

Waiting for another year and dropping NMIMS is only justifiable if you are certain to get into the top 5 like IIM ABC and FMS. Otherwise forgoing this opportunity might not be a wise decision mainly because

  • Your work experience of 22 months is the right time to do an MBA
  • CAT is extremely certain. You might have been able to make it into NMIMS, but there is no guarantee you will be able to clear CAT next year again
  • NMIMS has a 100% placement percentage so you will definitely end up with a good package
  • The brand name is more than enough to add to your CV 

Moreover, if you are willing to enter the Marketing sector, it’s still not late as FMCG don’t prefer candidates with much work experience. But if you are interested in Strategic Management, you can wait for a year and target the top 5 B Schools. 

So the end note is, forgo the offer if you are certain you can make it into the top 5 else grab this opportunity.

What is the chance of me getting a call from NMIMS as I scored 177 in NMAT in the first attempt? If not, will other colleges under it consider me in GD round considering my score?

SM
Satyasundar Mishra Posted On : June 24th, 2021
PGDM Post Graduate Diploma in Management & Business Management, SVKM's NMIMS

I have a friend who goes to NMIMS Mumbai. Here is what he had to say.

177 is a good score to get right off the bat but it is not good enough if we consider the recent cutoff trends at the different NMIMS campuses. Here is the recent required cutoff for the NMIMS campuses.

  • Mumbai Campus - 201+
  • Bangalore & Hyderabad - 195+
  • Indore - 180+

So, it is safe to say that there is very slim chance that you will receive a call from any of the NMIMS campuses.

Your only choices with this NMAT score are IBS, SRM Chennai, VIT Vellore. It will be better if you attempt NMAT along with other management examinations such as CAT, SNAT, CMAT, again.
