M.B.A Strategy & Marketing, Xavier School of Management (2015)

My friend is currently pursuing PGDM in HCM from GIM and gave me a general picture of the course.

The HCM program covers various domains of Healthcare like

  • hospitals
  • pharmaceuticals
  • med devices
  • public health
  • health IT
  • health insurance

The roles offered through this program include

  • Marketing/sales executives
  • Management trainee 
  • Assistant Manager
  • Operations Executive

Placements: The institute boasts of 100% placement percentage of HCM course with average at INR 10.4 LPA and Highest at INR 26 LPA. The majority of students were placed in the Healthcare IT sector (47%), followed by the Consulting (43%), Medical Device (43%) and Pharmaceutical (5%) sectors.

Infrastructure: The college has a world-class campus with 24*7 functioning libraries along with sports and hostel/mess facilities. Its location in Goa speaks of the beauty of the campus alone.

Suitability: This course can be taken by students with any background but it is most suitable for students with a healthcare background, Computer science/IT background, and Pharmacy & biotech background. However, there are many students from varied backgrounds like B.A. B.Sc., non-IT Engineering, B.Com, etc. who have successfully started their career in healthcare after completing this program. 

So Goa Institute of Management excels in almost every aspect and its HCM IS considered one of the best-coveted programs.

How good are XIMB, Tapmi, and GIM?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : May 27th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

In terms of ranking and brand value: XIMB> Tapmi> GIM

XIMB has been achieving stellar growth year after year and is associated with the Xavier group.

Tapmi and GIM are somewhat in a similar league and their placement figures are more or less similar. However, the roles offered in these institutes differ. While Tapmi is known for finance, GIM stands out in marketing. Between these two I would recommend going for Tapmi over GIM because of 2 reasons:

  • Tapmi has a stronger alumni base and there is more discipline inside the campus.
  • The fees of GIM are on the higher side and offer a poor ROI (Return on Investment) compared to Tapmi.

Does GIM,FORE,KJ Somaiya & SIBM-Bangalore provide 100% placement? What is the lowest,highest,and average package offered from these B-Schools in the last few years? Which one will be the best to join?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : September 5th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

GIM, FORE, KJ Somaiya, and SIBM Bangalore offer 100% placement support to the students. It is a bit grim to figure out the lowest packages as they do not provide exact information. In fact, none of the colleges could guarantee a job from their side; instead, they could assure plenty of opportunities. The aptitude, capacity, and performance in the interview play a chief role. 

Let us have a deeper look at SIBM Bangalore-

Many giant recruiters approach the college every year, and most of the applicants get placement in the first half of the academic year. The technological advancement in the classrooms, student-centric learning process, skilled and capable scholars, strong alumni network, and international links make SIBM one of the leading management institutes in Bangalore. 

Based on these facts, you can choose SIBM Bangalore. Whatever decision you make, choose wisely.

Both IMT Ghaziabad and GIM Goa are highly reputable institutes for post-graduation in marketing. Both institutes have a strong track record of producing high-quality graduates who are well-equipped to excel in the marketing field. However, when considering which program to pursue, there are several factors to take into account such as the quality of students passing out of these colleges, placement opportunities and profiles that interest you, and your academic scores.

It is recommended to research and speak with students from both institutes, as well as professionals in the field, to gain a better understanding of the curriculum, faculty, and alumni network of each institute. Additionally, if you have poor academic scores, it might be a good idea to consider a program with fewer students, to increase your chances of success. Furthermore, if you have more work experience, it would be a good idea to look into IMT Ghaziabad as it offers various opportunities for students with more experience.
