Which course among PGP at IIM Indore and PGP-ABM at IIM Lucknow should one choose if he/she has an interest in Marketing and Operations?

The simple answer is that the choice of the course depends more or your overall profile than the course itself. Irresponsible of your specialization your chances at placements will be low if your resume is below average. Moreover, institutes like IIM Indore and IIM Lucknow offer joint placements for both programs. Students can apply to any company irrespective of their specialization. Yet there are many who are able to get into their dream companies while some failed to get a call from a reputed firm. This is because the PGP program just added value to your resume and if that is already poor then even PGP cannot guarantee you a high-paying job. So if you already have a good resume all you need to do is improve your resume in marketing and operations. This can be done through extra-curricular activities and B-school competitions. For this the PGP-ABM program is perfect. But if you have a below-average resume, then go for PGP. Because then extracurricular activities alone will not improve your resume. You need class projects and good academic scores to upgrade it. Unlike PGP-ABM, you won’t miss out on basic electives related to marketing/ops/finance. So nothing is certain about an MBA program. One needs to know what he will be doing after acquiring knowledge to decide which course to take. I will personally suggest you go for IIM Lucknow PGP-ABM if you just want to improve your resume.

Which is better- PGP-FABM from IIM Ahmedabad or PGP from Indore/Kozhikode? Which one should I go for?

No matter whether you study inboth programs. It entirely depends on your interest in the subject. If you are interested in agriculture or in the food sector then think nothing and go for the FABM program but if you are not interested in this field then you can go with the general PGP program at IIM Indore or Kozhikode.

IIM Indore - Review

The course is well structured and enjoyable

The fee is in line with all the top B schools. The cost to study is obviously a bit on the higher side. For general category students there are not much scholarships or benefits you can avail in terms of financial assistance.

faculties, courses, research opportunities

Cost of study is very high, but then so is the return on investment. It is on par with other institutes of its segment. Scholarships are present from the institute, state and central governments, but are somewhat hard to get as roughly only 10 to 15 stydents are selected for the same.

A place that's a dream for many

the fee structure is like around 20 lakhs without SEP (student exchange program) for the 2 years. frankly speaking, I don't know about all the scholarships till now as I am busy with lots of assignments and meetings by the seniors but yeah there is a need cum merit-based scholarships on campus. campus jobs are great like tons of companies visit and offering great roles with very good ctc. there is plenty of opportunities during the summer internship and final placement as well.

The fee structure includes your academic fees, hostel fees, and medical insurance. For the first year, mess charges are also included in the fees. The allocated amount needs to be paid at the start of each term. IIMI offers great packages during internships and for final placements too with an average of 30 LPA.

MBA Life

MBA in top IIMs are expensive. IIM Indore takes around 22 lakh as a fee for 2 years of the PGP program. But you will easily get a loan from any bank for your education in top IIMs. Some non-institute scholarships are also there to help students but very few students get them. The placement committee ensures the placement of the entire batch during a summer internship and final placements. The average placement is around 25LPA.

Grading System

MBA is a course that can be questioned for fees. The course is something that is chosen by the students. The fees for IIMs are justified as the final placements will make it up. The ROI is the most important thing when choosing colleges.
