Which MBA college should I prefer (background is from B.tech hons (CS) and have 15 months work experience), IIT KGP or IIM Trichy?

JD
Jaideep Kumar Dutta Posted On : January 13th, 2023
FPM Accounting and Finance & Corporate Governance, Indian Institute of Management Ranchi (2019)

The best way to answer your query is to mention the core highlights of MBA from both institutes.

IIT

  • The MBA course here is more of technical nature as the program is one of the many departments of a huge Technical institute
  • The peers are very talented and genius 
  • The small batch size increases the opportunities for placements 

IIM Trichy

  • The MBA experience here is much more diverse and challenging. You will find peers from diverse backgrounds.
  • The pedagogy here is top notch as they specialize in this area
  • IIM Trichy has a better academic rigor and their style of Management education is too good
  • IIMs offer better food and infrastructural facilities 

I will sum up my answer with 2 points. If you are looking for job prospects outside India, IITs are a good choice. But within India, IIMs are a better option as their style of Management surpasses that of IITs.

Aditya Sinha Posted On : August 31st, 2022
Studied at Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University

A distance MBA from Periyar University isn’t valid. WES approved the degrees that are recognized by UGC/AICTE. Recently UGC has declared Open and distance learning education from Periyar University to be invalid. So, MBA degrees pursued in distance mode from the university aren’t approved nationally. As a result, these degrees aren’t approved by WES Canada.

Can a fresher with no work experience apply to TAPMI for its MBA course?

HP
Hardik Pandya Posted On : March 9th, 2023
PGDM from T. A. Pai Management Institute (Graduated 2003)

When it comes to MBA admissions, work experience can be an advantage, but it's not always a requirement. Having work experience can demonstrate to admissions committees that you have practical skills and knowledge that can be valuable in an MBA program. However, it's important to note that work experience is just one factor that is considered in the admissions process, and it's not a guarantee of admission.

Similarly, having work experience may give you an edge in the placement process, but it's not a guarantee of a job offer. While companies may value work experience, they also look for a range of other qualities and skills in potential employees. Therefore, just because someone has work experience, it doesn't necessarily mean that they'll be guaranteed admission or a job offer.

Ultimately, admissions committees and recruiters are looking for well-rounded candidates who possess a variety of skills, experiences, and qualities. While work experience can be valuable, it's not the only factor that is considered. When applying to MBA programs or job opportunities, it's important to present yourself as a strong and unique candidate, highlighting all of the experiences and skills that make you a strong fit for the program or position.

What courses should I do before pursuing an MBA at IIM Sambalpur if I have an interest in finance and marketing?

SJ
Sidhharth Jain Posted On : February 13th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (Graduated 2020)

It is completely normal to have an interest in both finance and marketing, as they are both important and widely applicable areas of business. To explore your interest in finance, there are many short, introductory courses available on platforms like Udemy that can be completed at a relatively low cost, such as for no more than INR 500. Additionally, you can read basic finance books from any commerce background to gain a solid foundation in the subject. Similarly, for marketing, there are many courses available on platforms like Udemy, as well as other sites. However, it is worth considering that pursuing an MBA program with a fresh mind and an open outlook for many possibilities may be beneficial for gaining a comprehensive understanding of marketing.

In addition to gaining specialized knowledge in finance and marketing, it is also important to have a good understanding of MS Excel and Powerpoint. These skills are widely used in the business world and will be beneficial for any professional in any vertical or specialization.

Are my 10th and 12th important in applying for the CAT and pursue an MBA from IIM Bangalore?

SS
Shreya Shankar Posted On : November 22nd, 2022
B.E. from Maharashtra Institute of Technology (Graduated 2018)

Academics are extremely significant at IIM Bangalore. If your academics are in the 70-85 range, even if you scored 100% on the CAT, your chances of getting a call from IIM Bangalore are less than 1% because it considers and gives very heavy weightage for both the 10th and 12th marks.

Score good marks in your Secondary and senior secondary exams. Prepare thoroughly and meticulously so that you can ace the CAT; this will increase your chances of admission to a good IIM.

Which MBA is better, IMT Ghaziabad (dual country course) or an MBA from BITSOM Mumbai?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : June 19th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Too close to call. Both are good choices to consider. On the other hand, if I have to take a call, I will most likely use BITSOM. Based on the below-mentioned reasons;

  1. Has a clear and compelling vision. aspires to be one of the best schools there is. Has aspirations on a worldwide scale.
  2. Has recruited highly qualified faculty and teams
  3. Very strongly supported
  4. Being open to making investments.

Therefore, it's possible that both will be tied in the short term, but I have a feeling that in the long run, BITSOM will pull ahead. The MBA, on the other hand, is strictly a long-term investment.

What would be better to do an MBA from SIOM Nashik or prepare for the SSC?

AS
Amit Sinha Posted On : September 13th, 2022
PGDM in Finance (college major) & Analytics, T. A. Pai Management Institute

There’s no clear winner in this comparison. If you want a career in the corporate world, doing an MBA from SIOM Nashik is better. SIOM placements are good and it offers decent exposure to the industry. The 2022 campus placements of the institute had witnessed an average CTC of INR 12.38 LPA. The highest CTC offered was INR 24.13 LPA.  

If you want a more stable and traditional Govt. job then SSC is the better option. The salary is decent.
