How much do the top B-schools like the IIMs FMS, MDI, XLRI, SP JAIN, JBIMS, IIFT, and NITIE inflate their placement reports?
In the placement process, it is not always the B-Schools that are responsible for reporting inflated packages, but rather the companies. The figure reported by placement cells is referred to as the "Cost to Company" (CTC) and not the take-home salary. This means that simply dividing the CTC by 12 is not an accurate reflection of what you will receive in your bank account each month.
CTC consists of two main components: fixed and variable. The fixed component includes your basic salary, HRA, TA, LTA, employer's contribution to the provident fund, joining bonus, retention bonuses, and ESOPs. The variable component is based on both your performance and the company's performance and is paid out in lump sums either yearly or half-yearly.
Your take-home salary at the end of each month is calculated as basic salary + HRA + TA + other allowances - provident fund deduction - tax. The remaining amount is given to you at the end of the year. To illustrate how companies may inflate their CTC figures, here are a few examples:
- Amazon:
Fixed component: 9 lakhs
Year 1 end retention bonus: 2 lakhs
Year 2 end retention bonus: 1.5 lakhs
ESOP: 5 lakhs to be paid over 3 years
Performance bonus: separate/not reported CTC: 17.5 lakhs
Take-home salary: 65-70k
- Goldman Sachs:
Fixed component + Variable component: 14.5 lakhs
Relocation: 2,00,000 INR (one-time payment)
Supplemental Salary: 3,50,000 INR (supplemental salary is an accrued bonus paid out in monthly installments pro-rated from the date of joining, only applicable during the first year of joining)
CTC: 20 lakhs
Take-home salary: 95-98k
- RBS India Development Center (Royal Bank of Scotland back-end):
Fixed component: 9 lakhs
Variable component: 10-20% of a fixed component
CTC: 10.8 lakhs
Take-home salary: 65-68k
As seen from the examples, despite Amazon having a CTC that is double that of RBS IDC, their take-home salary is the same. This is the typical way it works. The placement teams likely do not have much control over the process.
How hard did you find it to complete BCA from IGNOU?
My brother's friend completed his BCA from IGNOU. Recounting his experience, he told me that it was very difficult to adapt to the self-learning environment. He failed consecutively in all three semesters in the beginning. He was on the verge of giving up.
He realized that the study material provided by IGNOU is actually designed for self-study. He made notes, researched and practised a lot and he was able to complete both BCA and MCA. He said that it was self-study that helped me achieve my goal.
If you want to get good marks in IGNOU you have to focus on your self-study sessions more than anything.
Is branch change from Mining/Metallurgy to Chemical/Mechanical easy at VNIT Nagpur?
yes, branch change is possible at VNIT Nagpur — same standard NIT system as most other NITs. here's the specifics:
- branch change happens after Year 1, based on first-year CGPA and available vacant seats in the target branch
- mining and metallurgy are among the less popular branches at VNIT, so you'll be competing to move into more sought-after branches
- chemical and mechanical are more popular than mining/metallurgy, but less competitive than CSE/ECE — so branch change to these is more realistic
- target CGPA: aim for 9.0+ CGPA to have a genuine shot at chemical or mech. for CSE/ECE you'd need 9.5+
the realistic part most people miss — the number of vacant seats is often very small (2-5 slots total for any branch). vacancies depend on how many students in that target branch got JEE advanced and left for IIT, or dropped out. it varies a lot year to year. the branch change at mining/metallurgy ? chemical is more feasible than at top branches since mining/metallurgy genuinely struggle to retain students and the system accommodates that.
smart move: work hard in Year 1, maintain 9+ CGPA, and apply for branch change. simultaneously, accept your original branch mentally because most students don't make it even with good CGPA.

Which is better TAPMI or GIM Goa?
Both TAPMI and GIM are well-respected institutions in India that offer management education. Both institutions have their own unique strengths and areas of focus.GIM is known for its focus on sustainability and corporate social responsibility, as well as its international focus with a strong emphasis on international business.
Both institutes give a sharp edge to each other in terms of rankings, placements, and infrastructure. My cousin was in a similar situation and eventually went for GIM owing to its smaller batch size. Although both institutes offer similar opportunities and exposure, I can guarantee that GIM will give you a much better campus life.
TAPMI too is a leading B School and from what I heard from a friend, most of its pass outs are working in high positions in reputed firms. Overall,
- Placement-wise, GIM>TAPMI
- Campus life-wise, TAPMI>GIM
Ultimately, the choice between TAPMI and GIM will depend on the individual's specific interests and career goals. Both institutions offer high-quality education,
