Does an industrial engineer have any advantage when applying for an MBA at NITIE?

SP
Sreeja Prasad Posted On : August 13th, 2021
PGDIM from NITIE (2019)

NITIE Mumbai is the brand name for engineers targeting management courses in India. The institute offers various industrial management courses for students.

I have a friend studying PGDIM in NITIE Mumbai, and as per his insights, you do not get any advantage of being an Industrial Engineer in NITIE Mumbai, if you are focusing on PGDIM or PGDISEM. As it offers you an Industrial Management degree, having an Industrial Engineering does add anything to your profile. However, you may get an edge over other students if targeting M. Tech through the GATE exam.

Overall, in MBA from NITIE, an industrial engineer is on the same platform as other candidates.

Which one would be a better option: a job under SSC or MBA from SIBM Bangalore?

RM
Rahul Mahajan Posted On : June 14th, 2021
Studied at Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Bengaluru (2020)

Staff Selection Commission (SSC) will land you in a government job. There are different departments in SSC where you can get placed. Whereas, MBA from SIBM Bangalore will weave you to be corporate ready and land you in a private white-collar job.

Choice

  • If you want to be at a work-life equilibrium and a fixed-paying job, cracking the SSC exam makes sense. SSC provides you with job security.
  • If you want to earn a lucrative package and are ready to have a hectic life with variable work hours, MBA is the best choice. SIBM Bangalore is the second well-known and high-rated campus of Symbiosis International University after SIBM Pune.
  • SSC will cost you less, but competition is high due to the “Government job” tag.

Career

Fee

MBA from SIBM Bangalore

INR 16.20 Lakhs

SSC

The application fee is less than INR 1000. Reserved candidates get exemption in this fee.

The coaching fee will cost under INR 1 Lakh.

If you have already cleared SSC Tier-1 and Tier-2 exams, leaving SSC will not be a wise choice. SSC is a preferable choice over MBA from SIBM Bangalore. The reason is, MBA from SIBM Bangalore does not have much credibility in the industry.

Is joining new IIMs (Ranchi, Trichy, Udaipur) worth it? How will be the career growth after an MBA from new ones?

AB
Arvind Balakrishnan Posted On : January 13th, 2023
99.22 CAT'16, PGPM at MDI Gurgaon

The career growth offered by the new IIMs is difficult to analyze as they haven’t been established for long. One cannot infer their worth easily as its alumni are yet to establish themselves in the corporate world. It will take a few more years to determine the growth of CEO alums career-wise.

If you are concerned about the general job prospects, try going through the placement reports of these IIMs. You will get a general idea of the packages and roles offered.

To know if the new IIMs are worth going for, you need to check what you are expecting from these B Schools. If you are looking for basic learning and a small push to kickstart your career, the new IIMs will benefit you. But if you are on the lookout for high ROI, the new IIMs may or may not satisfy your expectations.

JIMS (Jagan Institute of Management Studies)has good visiting faculties from SRCC, LSR and other DU reputed colleges. The syllabus pedagogy is up to date with industry standards but suffers from lack of industry exposure. The institute also brings in sales roles in reputed firms like YES Bank, Standard Chartered, 99 acres etc.

IILM Lodhi Road offers a full-fledged MBA degree recognized by UGC instead of a diploma. The curriculum followed is inspired by reputed institutes around the world like Stanford, Wharton etc. Excellent in campus hostel facilities and a mentorship program for new joiners into the institute. It is popular for its offering in marketing roles and faculties in the marketing and sales domain.

IMS Ghaziabad consists of Atal Incubation centre to encourage entrepreneurship and business-minded individuals to start their own firms. There are smart classrooms, and the campus is WiFi enabled. The faculties are highly qualified and knowledgeable.
