How would you compare KJ Somaiya's PGDM with NIRMA's MBA in terms of placement and opportunities? Which one will be better?

BG
Banika Gaira Posted On : December 26th, 2022
PGDM in International Business (college major) & Marketing, K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research (SIMSR) (Graduated 2020)

Comparing the 2 B Schools that are KJ Somaiya and NIRMA, I would say both are equal in terms of placements, opportunities and exposure. The only factor you need to consider here is location. NIRMA is a good choice if your hometown is nearby. But if you want to enjoy your college life, explore and make memories, KJ Somaiya is the best. Located in Vidyavihar, a student-dominated area in Mumbai, it has an amazing campus with top-notch facilities.

Placements 

The table below draws a clear comparison between both the B Schools.

Which is a better option for marketing, TAPMI PGDM or FORE PGDM?

MR
Mihir Roy Posted On : August 5th, 2021
Studied at Jadavpur University (2019)

Both TAPMI and FORE are very reputed institutions and are very good choices to pursue PGDM. As some of my friends studied in the above-mentioned colleges, I can provide some facts that might be useful for you while making a decision.

  • FORE is situated in Delhi which is an added advantage as this is the capital city and has better facilities and easy access to all parts of the country.
  • This also attracts a lot more companies to visit the campus for interviews.
  • The total seats available in TAPMI is 455 and in FORE it is 420 (180 for PGDM, 120 for IB, 60 for FM, 60 for BDA). So, the competition will be less in FORE and the students will get more opportunities.
  • Also FORE doesn't have any restrictions on placements, so any student from any stream can sit for all campus interviews.
  • FORE has better connections in the corporate industry and has a better alumni network which is another advantage over TAPMI.
Categories PGDM at TAPMI PGDM at FORE
Course Fee 15.1 lakhs 15.98 lakhs
Highest CTC 18-20 LPA 25 LPA
Average CTC 11-12 LPA 16 LPA
Recruiting Companies KPMG, Asian Paints, Mercedes, Adobe, etc. American Express, HSBC, Barclays, Mindtree, etc.

Hence, both the colleges are very good options to pursue PGDM, but FORE has some added advantages over TAPMI like better location and alumni which can be very beneficial for you.

Which course is better: a 2-year PGDM in distance learning at NMIMS or a PGDM in distance learning executive at IMT Ghaziabad?

AH
Atul Harwani Posted On : April 12th, 2021
PGDM from Tolani Institute of Management Studies (2018)

You should definitely think of applying to NMIMS for PGDM in distance learning as compared to IMT Ghaziabad. There are various reasons for the same. In my opinion, you should look at the brand of the college, personal growth, quality, and expenses like fees that you may incur when it comes to choosing between the two. 

Let me elaborate on these and a few other points below.

  • Brand Value: The distance learning PGDM program at NMIMS has always been recognized as a brand. It is always better to study from a brand institute as compared to a non-brand one. You might have to shell out a little more money, but it will ultimately help you in the future.
  • Professional Growth and Industrial connections: If you are particularly looking to boost your professional resume or would like to grow in your company, doing an MBA definitely does make sense. However, in my opinion, you should not just do a PGDM from any college. If you are looking for professional growth, you can bank upon NMIMS with your eyes closed.
  • Affordable: The program is quite affordable. If you are an ambitious student, you will be able to get the most out of this program without shelling out too much money.
  • Quality and Personal Growth: In order to have good prospects after your degree, you need to have the correct knowledge. You might get into an average college thinking you are getting the correct education when in reality, that might not be the case. If your concepts are not clear, it will further hamper your actions in the future and could affect your personal growth.
  • Exposure: If you plan to move abroad post the degree, it is necessary to earn the degree from a recognized institute. If you choose NMIMS PGDM, you will have worldwide recognition.

Thus, NMIMS is much better as compared to IMT Ghaziabad and my strong recommendation would be for this college.

How is the PGPBA course (for business analytics) from Great lakes, Gurgaon? Is doing a course or certification helpful for career profile change?

BB
Barkha Basu Posted On : July 6th, 2021
lived in Great Lakes Institute of Management

Analytics is the science of extracting insights from sets of raw data using statistics and Business Analytics used by committed organizations to the data-fueled decision-making process.

You will explore data to find new patterns and relationships between different variables with the help of statistical excavation and structuring by quantitative analysis. Then you will predict the results by predictive modeling and predictive analytics.

PGPBA is a course for executives hence it is scheduled on weekends. It doesn't offer any placement assistance either. But if you're truly inclined, it'll be more like an added skill on your resume. Your excellence with this degree will depend on your work experience and your chosen domain in analytics.

The Business Analytics program is much better than the executive course and if you go for a full-time one, then it'll be even better for your career prospects. Also, Great Lakes does have a good national reputation and the faculty and the syllabus would be the same at all the centers.

This one year Pune PGPBA is a full-time course and part of SCMHRD. You will get a lot of hands-on experience on various processes linked with Marketing, Operations, Risk, Human Resources, Finance, Digital Marketing, and Hadoop.

Which is better, IMI Delhi BF&S or Great Lakes Chennai PGDM, considering I have no particular inclination towards finance but IMI is the bigger brand?

NC
Nikhil Chaturvedi Posted On : March 16th, 2023
Studied MBA-Rural Management (MBA-RM) at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar

 If you have the option of dropping a year and preparing for CAT, XAT, or other entrance exams, it may be worth considering. You can use the extra time to study and improve your scores, which could lead to better opportunities in the future.

However, if you have decided to pursue an MBA this year, there are several factors to consider before choosing between IMI and GLIM. You should look at the return on investment (ROI), fees, faculty, location, and placement records of both institutions to determine which one is a better fit for you.

It is important to note that neither the Business Forensic & Fraud Management (BF&S) program at IMI nor the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) program at GLIM are the flagship programs of their respective institutions. You may want to research the other programs offered by each school to see if they align with your career goals.

Personally, I would recommend GLIM over IMI. However, you should make your decision based on your own research and preferences, taking into account factors such as the curriculum, faculty, industry connections, and career prospects. It is important to choose a program that aligns with your career aspirations and provides the best value for your investment in terms of education, skills, and networking opportunities.
