Which course should I choose between IIML ABM, SPJAIN IM and IIM Shillong PGP?

No matter which B School you choose, PGP is always a better choice than ABM. But there might be a specific reason why you got an ABM offer rather than a PGP. But at IIM Lucknow, students of both programs are offered equal opportunities. These include final placements. summer placements and subsequent PPOs. The major drawback of ABM is that you are deprived of the PGP electives and can cover ABM electives only. These electives cover strategy marketing and operations. Talking about your offer from SP JAIN for IM, let me tell you that in this regard, IIM Shillong is a much better choice. Its campus in Dubai is a testament to its worth.

After you join the program and apply for the scholarship , a seperate committee will look after this and the interested participants will be required to present their case . Governement of India scholarships are also available to those who fulfill the necessary criteria.

The Campus in Clouds

Fee hikes vary from batch to batch but remain relatively gradual based on terms. We make the payment before the commencement of each term on the institute portal. While I haven't availed scholarship and financial assistance, I secured a job via campus placements in Collegedunia itself, under the Business Development vertical.
