My friend in Patna got selected easily for NIT Parna because of the Home State quota. Later in the 3rd - 4th round she got IIIT Jabalpur and not IIIT Lucknow. She went to IIIT Jabalpur after JoSAA rounds but kept her hopes high for the CSAB rounds. Finally, in the Spot round, she got IIIT Lucknow and she could not have been happier. To date, she never regrets choosing it over NIT Patna.

Should I spend 2 lakhs on a certification course from IIM Lucknow and Wiley in Product Management? However, I would want to change my job role from Business Development to Product. Is this a good way?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : January 16th, 2023
Founder, NextBigWhat

You should not spend 2 lakhs on a product management certification course from IIM Lucknow and Wiley. There are several reasons for this:

  • A certification course only provides you with a certificate, not actual skills.
  • Product managers are never hired based on their certifications. That is something that no company ever does.
  • Theoretical skills are frequently taught in most B schools. Companies today have little time and patience for such talent unless you want to start as a fresher.
  • Consider the product management certificate to be an add-on rather than a core feature. This is the most important mental shift to make to get things started right.

If you want to move into product management, you should take the following steps:

  • Learn the fundamentals.
  • Begin observing your surroundings.
  • Begin to wonder why some things work and others don't.
  • Begin writing. Writing clarifies things. A product manager's most important skill is writing.
  • Next, analyze a product (any of your favorites) to understand the user experience and product decisions (for example, why did WhatsApp launch the basic group admin feature after so many years, why did hike shut down despite massive funding/userbase, and so on).

Recognize that product management is a skill, and that there is a HIGH demand for skilled professionals. Where you begin (as a newcomer vs. an experienced professional) is determined by your ability to learn.

What should I take among IIT Delhi textile, IIT Kharagpur biotechnology, and IIT Guwahati engineering physics?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : April 10th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

The choice of college and branch totally depends on your inclination and career prospects. Yet, a few pointers you might consider 

For MBA/ non-core jobs/Startups: IIT Delhi Textile is the best choice if you are looking for any 3 of these options. Its excellent location provides enough exposure to give you access to unimaginable opportunities. Many events hosted by industry experts, CEOs of big companies, and successful entrepreneurs will give a better insight into the startup culture. Moreover, students preparing for competing exams can easily access coaching centers nearby.

Research in Biotechnology: If you are interested in research in general or Biotechnology specifically, then the Biotechnology at KGP is an excellent choice. It is one of the most demanding fields in terms of research and general growth. With a good CGPA, you can find a research internship or you can apply for MS or Ph.D. Even job opportunities are plentiful. 

Campus: IIT Delhi is better because of its small size and location

Lastly, Engineering Physics from IIT Guwahati should be considered only if you are genuinely passionate about Physics and want to pursue a research career in the same. The curriculum comprises high-tech mathematical concepts and is a good option to pursue a career in economics and computer science.

Can I do only a BBA from IIM Indore and then join IIM Ahmedabad for an MBA?

AA
Aarti Ahuja Posted On : August 18th, 2023
Lives in Ahmedabad

IIM Ahmedabad or any other IIM does not consider the type of college the candidate belonged to as eligibility criteria. So rest your worries and apply for MBA in your dream college even if your undergrad BBA college was a less reputed one. Regarding your undergraduate college, the only criteria are the minimum marks for appearing for the CAT exam i.e. 50%. All you need to do is get an excellent CAT score.

To get admission to any IIM, you need to focus on things like CAT score, 10th, 12th, Bachelor grade. The school and colleges from where you acquired your education do not matter at all. What matters is that your academic profile should reflect your excellent scores and involvement in extracurricular activities 

So, appear for CAT, aim a 98.5+ percentile, and get admission to IIM Ahmedabad. What’s stopping you?
