I want to do an MBA either from FMS Delhi, JBIMS or TISS Mumbai because I can't afford a loan. Is it a wise decision? I'm a working aspirant.
Pursuing an MBA from a top college like an IIM can provide many benefits, such as excellent campus life, an increased likelihood of getting a desired job, and boosting the overall value of your career. It’s viable to obtain a loan to pay for it because the interest rates are often low, and there is a grace period before repayment begins.
IIMs should be given more priority than colleges like FMS, TISS, JBIMS, or XLRI as they have more brand value and can offer better opportunities in terms of networking and job prospects. However, it is a personal decision that should consider your career goals, financial situation, and personal preferences.

How different are the career paths of individuals who pursue their MBA in HR from XIMB/SIBM/SCMHRD as compared to those from XLRI/TISS/MDI?
The answer can be divided into two main parts: Curriculum and Placements.
In terms of Curriculum, TISS is rated as having the best. Colleges whose core degree is not HR will be at a disadvantage when it comes to curriculum.
In terms of Placements, XLRI is ranked as having the best package and profile offerings, followed by a tie between TISS and SCMHRD. The colleges whose core is not HR will not offer as good a package post-MBA as compared to the colleges with core HR competencies.
In terms of packages offered, XLRI can be ranked the highest, followed by SCMHRD and TISS in a tie, and then MDI, SIBM, and XIMB.
If one has a choice of SCMHRD (all branches) and TISS, which one should one go for?
It would certainly depend on whether ROI is an important factor to you or not. SCHMRD and TISS both come under the top tier colleges.
TISS doesn’t provide an MBA degree but still one of the major HR companies visit the institute for final placements. You need to understand that what you’re paying and what you’re getting in return matters a lot from a longer term perspective.
The other benefit that you get if you are studying at TISS is their small batch size and less competition. Mind you, I am not saying that competition is not healthy but sometimes, when you’re so focused on gettting the highest package offered and competing against 400 students just like you, you might miss out on the learning experiences.
TISS at Mumbai is a famed institute. Why should a person opt for it? What career and personal goals one should set once he/she joins it? Is this a better choice compared to IIM Shillong?
Comparing TISS with renowned B-schools such as - XLRI (Jamshedpur), IIM (Shillong) will show that it is at par with them. TISS is one of the premier institutes in the Social sciences department. TISS, as a research institute is well equipped. The graduation degree is of standard quality as well, it will be worth your time and money.
At TISS, HR is not amongst the highlighted courses. It is Social Work and other public policy and development related courses that are at the forefront. HR, as a course, is parallel to the management side of the education TISS has included it in the course list. Apart from HR, TISS also has another management program which is the Social Entrepreneurship course.
Now, let’s sum up the plus points of TISS, as the best-selected option:
|
NAAC Accreditation |
'A' (It has been rated as the best university for Social Sciences in India) |
|
Faculty |
Best HR faculty in India; Extremely helpful and encouraging professors. |
|
Placement Percentage (2020) |
80-90% |
|
Highest CTC |
INR 32LPA. (Its recruitment standards are equal to XLRI PMIR) |
|
Average CTC |
20.60 LPA |
|
Recruiting Companies |
KPMG, Urban Management Centre, Amazon, CitiBank, etc. |
|
Best courses |
HR; MPH; MHA |
TISS, when it comes to HR, is definitely a more suitable option than IIM Shillong. However, a comparison cannot be set between the two colleges, in totality. Both of these educational institutes have different specialization courses. Therefore, a common leveling ground is absent.
These are the stand-out features of TISS but a comparison with the IIMs is not justified, as they both deal with different subject matters at different levels.
