Which college would you go for if interested in MBA in HRM among IMI Delhi, SIBM Bangalore, TAPMI, KJ Somaiya?
KJ Somaiya is the better option among these colleges. It is a well-established college that provides state-of-the-art facilities to its students, one can observe continuous improvement in their personality by studying at KJ Somaiya, and the institute encourages research. The placements are decent here almost all the students are placed with the highest package of 22.5 lac and the average is 12.28 lac.
Which one would be a better option: a job under SSC or MBA from SIBM Bangalore?
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.

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.

Which is the best college in Bangalore for an MBA/PGDM, TAPMI, SIBM-B, or IIM B?
All three institutes you mentioned - TAPMI, SIBM-B, and IIM B are highly reputed for their MBA/PGDM programs in Bangalore. TAPMI and IIM-B are legacy institutions as they were established in 1980 and 1973 respectively while SIBM-B was established in 2008.
Seems like you are looking for Bangalore colleges only, so I assume you have some constraints regarding shifting to any other city than Bangalore. But if not then you can try and go for some other B-schools in the country. It depends on if you have got calls from all three, in that case go for IIM-B, as it is among the top two or three B-schools in India.

Should I join SIBM Bangalore this year or should I wait another year and try for better colleges?
As a fresher, working in the software sector will not fetch you much benefit. The industry is full of politics and Onsite is a dream now.
- If you have an offer from an MNC and are considering trying for better colleges, I would suggest you take up the job and keep preparing for next year simultaneously.
- I am sure you will be able to score more than this year in CAT and SNAP.
- This will increase your chances of getting calls from better colleges than SIBM Bangalore.
