What are the fields in which I can go for a summer internship at IIM Ahmedabad?

I
Inayat Posted On : December 22nd, 2022
Former Summer intern at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

You can intern in any of the fields offered by IIM Ahmedabad. Most of the time, the professor won't expect you to be exceptionally knowledgeable in business or finance. Still, you can assist them with a lot of analysis based on statistics, sales, and advertisements.

If writing is your strength, for example, you might search for an internship that also involves editing and literature review. It doesn't really matter what field you work in because all you would be doing is working with written texts.

Finance professional

NLSIU Bangalore offers campus placement for its five-year flagship law degree program. IIM Ahmedabad offers campus placement for postgraduate management students. As IIM Ahmedabad is a post-graduate institution, one can assume that the pay package will be significantly higher.

Furthermore, the applicant and student pool at IIMA would be far more diverse than that of NLSIU. They will have mastered and will exhibit a higher, broader range of skill sets. As a result, IIM Ahmedabad placement packages will be dynamic and more competitive.

I'm a scheduled tribe candidate. I have no distinctions on my CV. Should I stay in IIM Ahmedabad or should I go to IIM Indore for lesser competition?

TS
Tuhina Sen Posted On : February 11th, 2021
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Indore (2020)

You should stay in IIM Ahmedabad. Discussed below are the reasons why.

Comparison: (Winning Institution - IIM Ahmedabad)

  • You will face the same level of stress and workload at both IIM Indore and Ahmedabad. But the placements at IIM Indore may not be as good as those at IIM A. You definitely stand a better chance of a good job at IIM A. 
  • Also, in terms of brand value and ranking, IIM Ahmedabad is significantly ahead of IIM Indore which would further add value to your CV. 

Useful Tips:

  • You can turn the competition to your advantage by making friends with smart and positive people and getting into their groups for project work. 
  • Be diligent in class. Remember, there is no option to hard work. 
  • Work on your communication skills if they are weak. Actively participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities. 

IIM Indore has a big batch size as compared to IIM Ahmedabad. If you want less competition then stick with IIM Ahmedabad. Following this would help you carve your own way amidst the competition around.

Trust me, the experience is definitely worth it. You wouldn’t regret being a part of the IIM A fraternity.

Is XLRI Jamshedpur at par with the top 3 IIMS (A,B,C)?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : May 5th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

XLRI is a prestigious B-school in India and is consistently ranked among the top business schools in the country. In 2022, its NIRF ranking was 8th, behind BLACKI and IIT Delhi. You should keep in mind that the criteria for these rankings may be different from what a student actually considers while selecting his preference.

Many consider it to be on par with the three renowned IIMs (A, B, C). XLRI's HR course is highly regarded. It has a batch strength of 177, ensuring a better student-to-faculty ratio, which is seen as an advantage over the IIMs. So while people’s perception may be that IIMs are better, the industry doesn’t consider it to be very far off.

Kinjal Mishra Posted On : February 15th, 2021
MBA EPGP, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (2020)

Among the finest openings offered by IIM Ahmedabad, EPGP is one that stands the tallest. The cohort is the best part. You become part of a network that is highly mature and educated. In addition to that, the network is made even better by the working professionals. 

In terms of rigorous coursework and quality education, no other institute stands on equal footing with IIM Ahmedabad. The teachers are an institution in themselves. This course involves more than 850 hours of classroom sessions. It will provides the students with skills in leadership through a curriculum that is innovative.

The following table shows placement data of IIM Ahmedabad PGPX program:

About the course:

  • It is as rigorous as the PGP and also has almost the same curriculum. 
  • The program does not offer any placement assistance as it is for working professionals. 
  • The program is very demanding so the trade off would probably quite high.

However, in terms of gaining knowledge the program is very impactful. You will see a positive impact of the program in 2-5 years.

How was your experience during 1st semester at IIM Ahmedabad?

SS
Stuti Singh Posted On : July 28th, 2021
Studied MBA at SIBM Pune 2019

Since one of my friends is a recent alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad, I might be able to share his experience with you. Here is what he has to go through,

  • Because he arrives with a former IT experience of about 4 and a half years, it was particularly difficult for him to attend classes, mostly early in the morning.
  • The classes usually lasted for almost 100 minutes, each of them particularly coupled with long cases, assignments, and course lists.
  • He was not entirely familiar with the concepts of Operations and Management, and the basics of Finance.
  • Later in time, it took him off guard and unwary.
  • It was particularly difficult for him to become accustomed with the course structure.
  • However, what he did like in the course was subjects such as WAC, and relevant others that were basically non-technical in several ways.
  • After only a long time since then, he began getting more involved in his study structure.
  • In fact, he also genuinely took help from various younger students whenever he could so as to ace some of the toughest subjects.
  • Moving forward, he acquired better results than the 1st semester after only contributing time to some of the most difficult subjects.

He still mentions that his sophomore year onwards, the study structure in fact went in a very convenient manner. But, the 1st semester generally did not go well for him.

How much do I score in engineering to get in IIM Ahmedabad?

SM
Sonal Mishra Posted On : July 7th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

There is no fixed GPA that can guarantee your selection into IIM Ahmedabad as an engineering student. Every institute however specifies a minimum percentage of graduation score that you have to achieve to be eligible for admission. For IIMs, the minimum percentage required lies in the range of 50 – 60 percent. Remember, the higher your graduation score is the more chances of your admission. 

Assuming you are a general category student, the bachelor cut-off is mentioned in the table below:

AC-1

68.92

AC-2

83.37

AC-3

84.5

AC-4

79.95

The UG score is an important criterion in the selection for PI and final shortlisting. However, these marks constitute only a tiny component of the overall criteria, so rather than focusing on graduation score, it's recommended that you prioritize CAT and WAT-GDPI preparation.

Which institute is better for a PhD in economics (in terms of exposure, curriculum, study methods, etc.), IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Bangalore?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : October 20th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

IIM is a brand in itself. IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore are prestigious institutes. 

Both are equally good for a Phd in Economics. You may choose either of the two for your higher studies. You can also consider Jamia Millia Islamia for a Phd. A Phd. from this college is also highly valued.

Look into the research interests of the faculty while making a choice. This is the most important factor that you should consider while choosing a college for your Phd. 

Both IIMA and IIMB are a good choice for your higher studies. You must choose between them based on your goals.
