MBA from Indian Institute of Management Amritsar (2020)

Don’t think twice before choosing IIM. You should not underestimate its brand name despite it being a new IIM. The more you invest in your education the higher ROI you will get. No matter how the institution is, your own efforts count more than anything. Genius minds grab opportunities even from a small college. And here we are talking about an IIM. Work hard, enjoy your MBA and see yourself flying in the next few years.

Is an MBA in IB at DSE or an MBA from IIM Amritsar?

S
Sagardeep Posted On : February 6th, 2023
Founder at Learning From Ant (2019–present)

An MBA in IB from the Delhi School of Economics (DSE) is a great option to consider, particularly when compared to the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Amritsar. While you may be considering IIM Amritsar due to its reputation, it is important to note that DSE has several advantages. Some reasons to consider DSE for your MBA include the following:

  • Location: DSE is located in Delhi, which is a hub for business and industry in India.
  • Delhi University Tag: DSE is a part of the prestigious Delhi University, which adds to its reputation.
  • Small batch size: DSE has a smaller batch size which allows for a more personalized learning experience.
  • Return on Investment: DSE has a great return on investment and it can be considered a good start towards your career.

You are strongly recommended to go for DSE as this brand will surely give you a good start. And after 6–8 years of working in the industry, you can consider going for another MBA from an Ivy League college.

What is the cutoff for IIM Amritsar (general) and other baby IIMs (estimated percentile required for conversion, not just calls)?

IZ
Ibra Zahoor Posted On : February 6th, 2023
B.B.E. in Business and Economics & International Trade and Finance, University of Delhi (Graduated 2018)

It is possible to achieve a high percentile in the CAT exam, such as 99+, and still not receive an invitation from any Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). This is because a high percentile alone is not always sufficient for guaranteed acceptance.

It is important to note that IIMs take into consideration a candidate's overall academic performance since the 10th standard and not just their CAT percentile. Additionally, candidates must also clear the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. Furthermore, candidates from an engineering background may have a slight disadvantage in terms of points.

Some IIMs also place a significant emphasis on work experience.

Category Quantitative Aptitude(Percentile) Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning(Percentile) Verbal & Reading Comprehension(Percentile) Total(Overall Percentile)
Section-1 Section-2 Section-3
General 80 75 75 85
EWS 80 75 75 85
Non-Creamy Other Backward Classes (NC-OBC) 65 60 60 75
Scheduled Castes (SC) 55 50 50 55
Scheduled Tribes (ST) 35 35 35 40
Persons with Disabilities (PwD) 35 35 35 40




It is highly recommended to visit the official websites of the IIMs you are interested in for detailed information on the selection criteria and to keep yourself updated. You can also connect with current students via LinkedIn to gather more information. It's important to note that selection criteria can slightly change every year.

Which one should be preferred between Great Lakes, Chennai PGPM, and IIM Amritsar?

HM
Harish Mishra Posted On : February 6th, 2023
Studied Master of Business Administration Degrees at Indian Institute of Management, Nagpur (Graduated 2022)

When considering which postgraduate management program to pursue, there are several factors to consider. One such factor is the duration of the program. Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai (GL) offers a One-year PGPM program, while the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Amritsar has a 2-year PGPM program. If you are looking to re-enter the job market sooner, Great Lakes may be a better option for you. 

Another factor to consider is the alumni base of the institution. Great Lakes has a larger alumni base than IIM Amritsar, which may provide more networking opportunities. Additionally, Great Lakes offers a unique Karma-Yoga program where students learn leadership skills while giving back to society by helping the surrounding villages.

It's worth noting that IIM Amritsar is a relatively new institution, established only around 7 years ago. While it has the coveted IIM tag, it may not have the same level of prestige or reputation as older IIMs. However, if the IIM tag is important to you, and you are willing to work harder than your peers and give your best in those 2 years, IIM Amritsar may be a good option for you.

Ultimately, the decision of which program to attend will depend on your personal priorities and what you want to gain from the program. It's important to do your own research and weigh the pros and cons of each institution before making a final decision.

Is iim amritsar worth joining at the age of 21?

MK
Medhavi Kumar Posted On : January 19th, 2023
MBA in Marketing & Operations, Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam (Graduated 2021)

The younger you are, the more opportunities you will receive. So don’t let the age factor discourage you. It’s highly possible that the old IIMs did not consider you. Think of the bright side. You are young and you have multiple CAT opportunities.

What you can do is work somewhere and gain experience. This might upgrade your profile. Inculcate extracurricular skills and prepare yourself well for the next batch of CAT aspirants. Keep trying till your dream comes true.

Which is better, IIM Amritsar or the Department of Business economics, Delhi University?

HM
Hitanshu Malhotra Posted On : January 20th, 2023
M.B.A from Indian Institute of Management Amritsar (Graduated 2021)

Considering the various factors that define a college’s worth, I personally think IIM Amritsar is better than the Department of Business Economics. I have arrived at this conclusion due to the following reasons

  • The IIM tag no doubt is the major USP of any IIM. 
  • The placement scenario is much better than that of the Department of Business Economics mainly due to the IIM tag
  • Both curriculum and faculty are better at IIM and thus there is more accountability than DBE.
  • The high fees you invest in in reality help you to be more sincere towards your program. You don’t take it lightly when lakhs of rupees have been spent. This is enough of a motivating factor.

Which one should I join, XIMB BM or IIM Amritsar?

KS
Khushboo Singh Posted On : January 19th, 2023
PGP student @ IIM Amritsar

If you have to choose between XIMB and IIM Amritsar I will always suggest you go for IIM Amritsar. Apart from the IIM tag, its relentless growth is a major deciding factor. The ROI at XIMB is very less in comparison to IIM. The points below will help you understand my point.

  • The fee of IIM Amritsar is INR 12 Lakhs whereas that of XIMB is INR 20 Lakhs. 
  • The Average package is almost similar to the 2 colleges ( IIM Amritsar- INR 14.63 LPA and XIMB- INR 15.42 LPA). So when compared to the fees XIMB has a lower ROI than IIM Amritsar.
  • IIM Amritsar has witnessed fast-paced growth in recent years.
  • It is the only and best MBA college in the whole of Punjab
  • The batch size is smaller than that of XIMB and it’s an extra benefit when it comes to placement opportunities.

So IIM Amritsar is the best option among the 3 colleges.

Did RBI visit IIM Amritsar for recruitment as per the recent placement report? If yes, what profile did they offer?

AD
Ashok Dube Posted On : January 19th, 2023
former Student at Indian Institute of Management Amritsar (2017-2019)

IIM Amritsar has made its name in the IIM family due to the following 

  • Corporate Competitions’ Presence
  • Student Achievements
  • Placement Records

All these achievements have made it among the fastest-growing IIMs. So I don’t understand why people keep questioning and judging an Institute of National Importance.

Now coming to your question, yes RBI did visit the IIM Amritsar campus for recruitment last year for Summer Internships but the exact role and package were not revealed to the public. Try to get in touch with some batchmates to get this info.
