Entrance Preview:

CAT (99.71). I had calls from all IIMs - chose IIMA because of the brand and also because Ahmedabad is my hometown. Once the CAT results were announced, IIMA came with its shortlist of candidates for interview. I was interviewed by 2 current professors. It was a 40-minute interview, with one professor playing the good cop and another one playing the bad cop role.

GMAT; Reputation of the institute & professors was the first thing I was looking for. In addition, the Affordability visa international institutes played an important role in my decision. This is where IIMA really scores above other campuses. We have over 50 years of alums in the industry who always are willing to help out younger alums.

How good is the new IIM Ahmedabad business analytics course? Please provide your views on whether one should enroll in it.

Girish Singh
Parth ReddyStudied at IIM Ahmedabad

IIM Ahmedabad ePGD in Advance Business Analytics is a newly launched program by the b-school. The program is a perfect blend of tools and techniques for data visualization and modeling. The duration is for 16 months and ePGD admission is entrance based followed by an interview round.

As for the review, I am not sharing my own, but of a friend who recently completed this course. She considered the program to be very good but a bit on the expensive side. Let's break down the review into common aspects

  • Placements: The placement percentage of this program is approximately 4% with the highest package offered around 85 LPA, the lowest salary package offered being 11 LPA. The top roles offered are relationship manager, business analyst, and area sales manager.
  • Infrastructure: The entire campus is wifi-enables and has all the top-notch faculties one could ask for. Every classroom is fully air-conditioned and has modern teaching aids. You can access databases and journal websites through the online portal of the library. The accommodation facilities are also world-class.
  • Faculty: IIM Ahmedabad has the highest qualified faculty pool that don't limit their teaching to classrooms only but rather engages in dynamic talk to ensure the holistic development of students.

Overall, the IIM Ahmedabad campus is superb and the excellent academic environment made choosing the Analytics program a great choice.

How good is the IIM Ahmedabad PGPX 1-year full-time program?

Abanti
Devansh PathakStudied at IIM Ahmedabad

If your current package is less than 15 LPA, pursuing PGPX 1-year full-time program at IIM Ahmedabad is good. You should look at international colleges if your current package exceeds 15 LPA. You should always do your MBA and find a job outside of India. India is simply the world's back office. It is different if you want to be an IAS officer, but Indian corporate is slavery and junk. Working here for an extended period of time will undoubtedly turn you into a lunatic.

One week of college life is enough to demonstrate the quality of American education. The tasks are out of this world. Americans are among the world's smartest and most innovative people. As a last resort, continue your education in India. Even if you have more than 5 years of work experience, IIM A/ISB will only hire you in one of India's back offices.

Are the IIMs at Ahmedabad Bangalore and Calcutta equally good, especially regarding placements?

Rohini Mishra
Rishabh SinghLives in banglore

Each of these IIMs has developed its unique personality over the years, and each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. 

IIMB intakes people with good and relevant work experience, IIMA seeks a good academic record and a bit of humbleness in a candidate, and IIMC looks for strong analytical skills (it has the highest CAT cutoffs). 

During placements, companies that want experienced professionals prefer IIMB, IIMA is visited by companies because of its strong alumni list, and IIMC is preferred by the Banking Sector because of the perception that its students are more quantitatively oriented. 

The three of them receive almost the same companies during placements. So for a candidate seeking good career opportunities in a certain field, all three IIMs are equally good. It is just that each one has a certain image associated with its brand, and ranks accordingly in the preference lists of recruiters.

How is it like being at FMS Delhi? Would you trade your life with someone studying in top IIMs A B or C?

Gaurav YadavMBA in Marketing, Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi (Graduated 2002)

In comparison to the IIMs, FMS retains the advantages of small batch size and a fee structure that is relatively low. The small batch size simplifies placements significantly. With the exception of a few foreign consultancies, most of the top companies that visit the IIMs also visit FMS. Despite all of the university's bureaucracy, etc., there is a well-established alumni network that still ensures that things work out for the current batches.

Because of the small batch size, people are extremely competitive. This was in stark contrast to what you hear about the IIMs. Even though they have competition but they maintain some semblance of sanity due to the large batch. FMS can be difficult to manage at times, both in obvious behaviours and subtle actions by people you study with.

The culture at FMS is influenced by the culture of Delhi. In comparison, IIMs are unquestionably more cosmopolitan. Unless you have prior exposure, adjusting to a new environment can be difficult for people from very different cultures, such as the South or East. Otherwise, you'll have to learn to adjust the hard way. But it's still worth the effort. The people you meet in both locations are of the highest calibre. It is up to you to make the best of the situation.

Even if given the chance, there's no way one would like to trade places with the IIMs.

What is your review of Life at IIM Ahmedabad?

Parth ReddyStudied at IIM Ahmedabad

IIM Ahmedabad is a top management institution getting into which is a dream of many aspirants. 

My sister went to IIM Ahmedabad for her dual degree. According to her, the institution is incredible for various reasons. Her class was filled with students who were geniuses, having been selected from among 1000 aspirants. Most of the time she had difficulty in following the entire lesson or conversation. At the same time, one is exposed to incredible speed, quality, depth of analysis, and precision of synthesis.

This is why an IIM A graduate gets a huge advantage in anything that they try to pursue.

The architecture is amazing and highly inspiring. My sister loved the activities at IIM A and its vibe. The people are incredible and still most of them are down-to-earth in nature.

The Environment at IIM Ahmedabad is good and there are no restrictions as such. People are broad-minded and one can freely express oneself. The faculty members are friendly with the students. There are different clubs that conduct various activities which enable students to pursue their interests in fields outside of academics.

IIM Ahmedabad also runs the Facebook and Twitter pages of the student community where the latest student activities, achievements, and events, among other aspects of students’ life at IIMA are posted.

Overall, the experience of students at IIM Ahmedabad is very good and the institution truly ensures an all-round development of its students.
