Are New IIMs (Trichy, Udaipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Raipur, Kashipur) good for MBA in Finance? If not suggest some B-schools. Really interested in investment banking.
Honestly speaking, a career in investment banking should not be considered by the new IIMs. It’s a too ambitious profile to match the relatively new curriculum of these IIMs. Even if you are in a top B School, you will have to remain among the top students to get placed for a front-end role. One can still get roles in corporate & business finance but getting roles in Investment Banking is rather difficult.
Yet if you are not choosing an older IIM and want to choose a newer one, IIM Trichy is the best among them. The order is
IIM Trichy > IIM Udaipur > IIM Ranchi
There are many B Schools apart from IIMs that offer great Investment Banking roles. These include SPJIMR, JBIMS Mumbai, IIFT, and XLRI.
Which new IIM (Udaipur, Ranchi, Raipur, Rohtak, Trichy and Kashipur) has the potential to join the league of ABC in future? Why?
Comparing the new IIMs with the IIM ABC is rather ridiculous and not justified. Considering factors like infrastructure, faculty, and alumni base, the top IIMs are way ahead of the new ones. Even if the new IIMs tackle the infrastructure and faculty issue they can never match the extraordinarily strong alumni base of the older IIMs. The IIMs A, B, and C have given birth to many geniuses that have contributed largely to Indian society in various fields like arts, literature, sports, etc. They have even made impressions globally.
No matter how fast the new IIMs climb up the ladder and excel, they will never be able to match the alumni base and worth of older IIMs.

What should be the approach to crack the IIM Rohtak interview if you have workex?
Well, IIM Rohtak is the newly established institution for pursuing MBA. The college offers MBA in Management Information System, Organizational Behavior, HRM, Marketing & Strategy, Finance & Accounting, Operation and Economics, Public Policy. It is given 21st rank by NIRF in 2020.
Now coming to your question, I would like to share one of my cousins’ experiences about this, who scored 95.92 percentile in CAT 2019.
- He is 24 years old and he is an automobile engineer from Manipal Institute of Technology.
- His grades have been 90+ so far with 92.71, 90, and 9.13 in 10th, 12th and engineering respectively.
- He got a call from IIM Rohtak being his profile was good and also he was a gold medalist in Academics (5th SEM - Engineering).
- Also, he interned in Amazon in Operations and Fulfillment and in Accenture as a mainframe developer.
He shared with me his experience of how the interview went on for 10 minutes and consisted of 2-4 questions on his Curricula, GK and academics.
- The first question was an extempore on the topic “Women make better managers than men” and the time limit was 1 min for thinking and 2 mins for speaking.
- There were more questions on the qualities of a manager, a couple of questions on my academics, and 2 questions on GK.
- There were also questions on his gap year after work and also on his challenges as a manager he faced handling a team of 200-300 in Amazon.
- He mentioned that it is good to assist your answer with brief examples if any and describing a specific situation that you handled clearly.
- The panelists also checked his certificates and posed a few questions on them.
But, I would kindly suggest you keep your calm. Remember that confidence is key and always stay honest and humble. Start with a greeting and be polite. The first few minutes would be when the first impression will be set and you need to put your best foot forward. Good Luck.

What is better for a PGP IM: MDI or IIM Rohtak?
Some of my friends studied in both these colleges. According to them, MDI Gurgaon is definitely better than IIM Rohtak. Let me give you some reasons to support their statement and why PGP IM will be a good choice.
- ESCP Europe offered MBA degrees to MDI PGP IM students who started their global careers after graduation.
- Most of the students at MDI receive internships.
- About 60% of students got international internship offers and 40% got offers in India.
- Some of the companies include Puma, Nestle, Phillips, Uber, Edelweiss, etc.
- Studying at MDI is like an investment.
- You invest for 2 years, securing yourself for the next 30-35 years.
- MDIs brand name and alumni strength defeat IIM Rohtak anyday.
Thus it is suggested that you go for the MDIs PGP IM course as it will provide enough exposure in your chosen industry. Do not only rely on the IIM tag, check for better faculty, alumni and academics while considering a college.
How many aspirants would be applying for the IPM test of IIM Rohtak (approx)? How tough would it be to get into it?
Back in 2018, 15500 students applied for the IPM exam but this has nothing to do with the difficulty level of the exam.
- If you are slightly advanced on topics related to Maths, such as sequences and series, functions, coordinate geometry and trigonometry, logarithms, probability, P&C, etc, then you will have a major upside.
- In 2019, Indore’s IPM exam was a reasonable mix of various topics with 1 to 2 questions each. This gave every student an equal chance to attempt questions they prepared for.
- Every section has a section-wise cut off and a PI WAT call is usually provided in case you have cleared all three cut-off ranges.
- In a nutshell, 15500 students competing against a limited 120 seats go up to make the entry to IPM programs quite difficult and on the challenging side.
It is suggested that you stay well updated with any information you acquire regarding IIM Rohtak. Hope this helps answer your query, wish you all the best!

While one individual may have had negative experiences, it is important to do your own research and weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

Which certification course is the best for project management, IIM Rohtak or Six Sigma Green Belt from Indian Statistical Institute?
Both the certification courses PMP and SSGB fall under the Operations domain yet are very different in reality.
PMP: This course facilitates handling and delivering projects efficiently and quickly. If you are interested in Project Management, the best option is the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification which is affiliated with Project Management Institute, PMI, USA. It
also provides PDUs.
SSBM: This course facilitates proper optimization of business processes, minimizing waste and time wastage. If you are interested in the Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB), then Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) Kolkata is the best option available. Some even think ISI Pune is good yet I will recommend you to go for Kolkata itself.
How do companies perceive these IIM Rohtak EPGPX courses like?
Even though all IIMs have converted their PGP and EPGP programs into MBA degrees, IIM Rohtak continues to offer Post Graduate Diplomas. Companies do not regard this program as an MBA qualification. It is regarded as a Diploma course from IIM Rohtak, a step down from the two-year EPGP or PGP. Candidates who complete this course are not eligible to pursue a Ph.D., FPM (or even EFPM) from any IIM (including IIM Rohtak).
Fees for a one-year online program are also extremely high. All IIM MBA programs are now GST-free, but IIM Rohtak continues to charge fees that are "inclusive of taxes" even though there aren't any (if the course is truly an EPGP/PGP). Businesses would place a higher value on two-year PGP or EPGP programs, like the one offered by IIM Kozhikode.
