MDI will be a better option for all specializations, except Operations. If you are interested in Operations, IIT Bombay is much better. MDI Gurgaon placements are excellent. Big names such as Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and BCG have visited the campus placements. The 2022 placement drive had an average CTC of INR 26.65 LPA. 

MDI offers the best placement in the finance domain after IIM A, B, C, FMS, and XLRI. JP, HSBC, Nomura, Stanchart, etc. are some of the major recruiters from the finance sector. 

MDI placement records for Marketing are good as well. HUL, Coke, Pepsi, and P&G are some significant recruiters from the marketing sector.

Should I go to doon business school Dehradun from MBA?

BG
Britiyananda Ghosh Posted On : April 15th, 2021
Doon Business School

One of my friends is doing her MBA from Doon Business School. So I know a few things about the course. 

From what I heard about the institute from her, Doon Business School does not offer decent placement to its students. Consider joining the college only if you have confidence that you can get a good placement offer on your own. Don’t be dependent on the college for placements. 

The college will give you opportunities to learn, overcome your shortcomings. It will also offer you a platform to secure better opportunities. 

So, if you are confident that you can make the best of the limited opportunities offered at the institute then only choose to go for Doon Business School.

Is XIMB HRM worth the 17 lakh fee? Will the XUB thing have any impact?

AD
Arka Dutta Posted On : September 8th, 2022
M.B.A. from Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar

There is no such course as XIMB HRM. The HR School of XUB, XAHR, offers the HRM course. Pursuing this degree is certainly worth the money invested. Xavier School of Human Resource Management placements has an average CTC of INR 12.9 LPA. While the highest CTC goes up to INR 22.5 LPA. Many students get salary packages in INR 20 LPA slab. 

The XUB thing hasn’t made any major impacts. The faculty is same, the selection criteria are same, and so is the list of recruiting companies.

What is the actual average salary for NMIMS Mumbai? Is it really worthwhile to do an MBA from NMIMS, considering the huge fees and inflated placement reports?

RM
Rohan Mitra Posted On : January 18th, 2022
studied at SVKM's NMIMS (2019)

One of my friends got into NMIMS through NMAT. According to him, it was not the most sorted choice as their rankings and placement reports are inflated.

  • They show an average package of 16 LPA being offered to 550 students but it is impossible to get that.
  • Usually students receive a 12-13 LPA for core subjects and 9-10 LPA for HR.
  • NMIMS is a popular brand, thus the brand name attracts lots of students in Hyderabad and Bangalore campus. But they are not good enough as generally promoted.
  • IMT, NMIMS, SIBM, XIMB were once one of the top private B-schools . But their standards have degraded recently. Only MDI managed to maintain and move forward.
  • No other B-school increased fees like NMIMS. Its fees are more than XLRI and IIM A, B and C.
  • The building at NMIMS is also not great, according to the fees that they charge.
  • No other college charges its candidates for conducting CDPI or GDPI. Whereas NMIMS students have to pay 1000 rupees.
  • After the release of the results, students have to pay fees of about 9 lakhs in just 1 week.

Spending a huge amount for MBA education is not a great idea. People might consider it an investment, but you have to make an informed decision by also considering the ROI. Therefore, if you are an outstation student consider other colleges than NMIMS.

Why is IIM Lucknow reputed to have the most rigorous MBA programme in India?

Epil Gagrai Posted On : April 2nd, 2024

Not just IIM Lucknow but all the IIMs and the top B-Schools offers a rigorous MBA program. MBA in itself is a very challenging course because it is designed to prepare the students for the corporate world, to handle stress and to manage their time efficiently. 

IIM Lucknow MBA is considered challenging because of it comprehensive curriculum. There are lectures from morning to evening covering all the courses. It is also mandatory for the students to maintain a 80% attendance. The classes are usually interactive and the faculties expect the students to come prepared to the class with the topics that will be covered. 

Then there are rigorous case studies, group project, and presentations, which demands significant time and effort. All the faculty members have a different way of teaching, some can conduct surprise test in every session or some go with presentations and case studies. 

Then there are term exams and the preparation of summer internship, which is also a part of the curriculum. The competitive environment and the networking expectations also makes the course difficult for the students. 

The majority of the time of the students is consumed within the classroom. Most of the free time is also spend in group discussions for projects and presentations. So students usually struggle to find time for themselves, which makes than feel that the course is difficult. But within a few months most of the students adjust to this life and are able to manage time both for studies and leisure work like sports, club activities etc.

What can be my prospects of joining IIM Ahmedabad for an MBA and later going to Harvard for some courses after becoming an IAS officer?

SK
Sonu Kumar Posted On : March 7th, 2023
studied Indian Institutes of Technology & Joint Entrance Examination at New Era Progressive School Korba

It has become a trend for IAS/PCS to pursue an MBA these days. But it’s important to note that there are no reserved seats for civil servants for the PGDM (MBA) program. You have to attempt CAT to join the Post Graduate program.

However, IIM-A offers a number of Professional Development programs suitable for senior government functionaries.

Personally, I will advise you to clarify your career goals. Determine what is more important in your career: Civil Services or an MBA. This is because people usually join the IIMs for careers in entrepreneurship or jobs in the corporate sector.

Should I go to IIFT or IIM?

RM
Rutul Mishra Posted On : May 7th, 2022
studied at Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Delhi

If you aren’t getting IIM A, B, C, L, or I then you should choose IIFT. Your preference order should be IIM BLACKI > IIFT D > New IIMs + Shillong > IIFT Kolkata > Newest IIMs > IIFT Kakinada. 

Note that IIM I has a huge batch size and the competition will be higher for an average profile. In IIM L, you can get placement into top consulting companies and investment banks only if your past academic record is stellar. 

IIFT Delhi placements are pretty good. For 2022, the average CTC offered to the students was INR 21.08 LPA.
