After scrutinizing the list of colleges you mentioned, I think the most viable option is IIM Bodh Gaya. It is the most suitable among the 3 because it has been growing at a spectacular rate. The 2 major reasons for its rapid growth are
Both these factors differentiate Bodh Gaya from Sambalpur and Sirmaur extremely well.
As a student at IIM Sirmaur, you will have the opportunity to learn from faculty members of IIM Lucknow, which, along with the diverse peer-to-peer learning in your batch, creates a dynamic and stimulating learning environment. The campus has several committees and clubs that ensure that you are active and engaged throughout your time here. Additionally, being part of the initial batches of students at IIM Sirmaur also provides unique freedoms and opportunities for you to be a trailblazer.
The program includes regular guest lectures by industry leaders, which provide valuable insights into the business world. Additionally, there is a one-month international immersion program in association with ICPE and Jožef Stefan Institute, Slovenia. The quality of students at IIM Sirmaur is outstanding, with many students having CAT percentiles as high as 99.5x.
The location of the campus is also a plus, with two airports (Dehradun and Chandigarh airports) located just two and a half hours away, and the beautiful river Yamuna flowing just beside the campus, surrounded by serene mountains, making it a beautiful place to live.
One of the major requirements of IIM Sirmaur is hard work and determination. You need constant motivation to crack CAT and score a high percentile.
Once you have cracked CAT, CAP comes into the picture wherein the WAT-PI round is conducted. You will have to prepare for the interview beforehand as this is not something you can do without confidence. You will have to smartly answer their questions.
After the candidates have undergone all the admission rounds, a merit list is created based on a score calculated from all the rounds including CAT, personal interview and profile of the candidate. Given below is a breakup of the scores for creating the final merit list-:
Fees
|
Program |
Fees |
|
MBA |
INR 13.75 lakh (2 years) |
|
International Immersion Program |
INR 1 lakh (per term) |
Along with the fees, the student is required to pay Rs.1,00,000/- in each term (up to the fourth term) for the International Immersion Programme. In the event that the Immersion program is not conducted, the cost fee charged for the immersion program activity shall be adjusted against the term fee.
Both IIM Sirmaur and GLIM Chennai are good colleges. However, they have lots of differences as well. Let's have a comparison between IIM Sirmaur and GLIM Chennai on various parameters
| Parameters | Winner |
|---|---|
| Brand Value | IIM Sirmaur is a clear winner here. The brand value of an IIM is better than most private MBA colleges in India. |
| Ease of Admission | It is difficult to get into an IIM as compared to GLIM Chennai. The cutoff for GLIM Chennai usually remains lower as compared to IIM Sirmaur (CAP Cutoff). This makes GLIM Chennai a winner here. |
| Return on Investment | Both IIM Sirmaur and GLIM Chennai have an average CTC of close to 14.5 LPA but the fees of GLIM Chennai is around 3.5 lacs more than that of IIM Sirmaur making the ROI of GLIM Chennai relatively bad. IIM Sirmaur is a winner here again. |
| Alumni Strength | GLIM Chennai started in 2004 while IIM Sirmaur started in 2015. The Alumni strength of GLIM Chennai is better, however since the gap between these two colleges is just 11 years, in no time IIM Sirmaur will catch up both in terms of Alumni Strength and quality. |
| Flexibility | GLIM offers more flexibility as it has its 1 year Executive MBA which currently IIM Sirmaur lacks. GLIM can be a better option for aspirants who don't want to invest 2 years on an MBA. |
GLIM can look like a better option considering above points, but the fact that IIM Sirmaur despite starting 11 years late has managed to give better ROI and similar average CTC makes IIM Sirmaur a better option (assuming similar rate of growth continues for IIM Sirmaur)
Temporary Campus: The campus is situated in the Paonta Sahib City as it is just 2.5 Kms away from the nearest bus stand. The nearest Railway stations are Dehradun and Yamuna Nagar Railway stations which are around 45 Kms and 60 Kms respectively. The nearest Airports are the Chandigarh Airport and Dehradun Airport which are 122 km and 77 km away from the campus.
Permanent Campus: The Campus is located in Dhaula Kuan and is 19 kms away from the Paonta Sahib Bus Stand and 26 kms away from the Nahan Bus Stand. The nearest Railway station is Yamuna Nagar Railway Station 59 kms away and the nearest Airports are the Chandigarh Airport and Dehradun Airport which are 102 kms and 94 kms away from the Institute.
My Profile: Fresher, 9/8/8 Academics, Graduation in Computer Application.
There were two panelists and one of them was from a tech background. My interview started with a question about my introduction. Since I was a BCA graduate, my follow up questions were mostly like: Why is python widely used in the companies? Why do companies prefer Python over JAVA and C++? What is a List and a Queue? Basically, if you are a fresher, you should be well versed with the syllabus of your graduation. Later, I belonged to Jalandhar, so the rest of my questions were: Give me one USP of Jalandhar? What is Jalandhar famous for? Few of the most prominent questions asked to me were: Why MBA after BCA? Why not MCA?
So, I suggest all the students should at least prepare their syllabus from the graduation, thoroughly research about their city, state and about their interests, and must be very clear with the goals for pursuing an MBA.
At IIM Sirmaur and for that matter, in most IIMs, a following sample structure of grading is followed: -
| Component | Marks |
|---|---|
| End Term | 25 |
| Mid Term | 15 |
| Group Projects | 30 |
| Assignments/Quizzes | 20 |
| Class Participation | 10 |
| Total | 100 |
Please note that the marking scheme varies from faculty to faculty but the above mentioned components are the most used components used by the faculties to award marks to the students. Sometimes, when more than one faculty member teaches a course, the marking scheme splits into two or three and individual professors will have an individual marking scheme with the respect to the total marks bifurcated between the faculty members.
To be honest, it requires more effort by the student to fail a course than to pass a course. The reason being that a majority part of the grading system is mostly qualitative. This means that if a student completes his assignments, takes part in his group projects and actively participates in a lecture will never fail a subject. The term exams constitute very less and even if a student scores a 0 in his term exams, provided he is an active participant in the rest of the grading schemes, will still not receive even a D. The students suffer mostly because of the lack of enough attendance (which leads to a grade drop) and lack of listening and participation in a course.
IIM Sirmaur like most B-schools follow a relative grading. However, each student is required to score an overall 35 marks out of 100 at the end of the course. The grading system varies from faculty to faculty and is relative to the highest marks scored in the course. If a student is below 35 marks, he is considered a failure and awarded an F in the course. A student securing 2 Fs in a year is required to repeat the year. A student securing D, which is basically the lowest grade offered to a student based on the grading scheme, can have utmost 2 Ds in one year. A 3rd D will mean a repeat year. However, Ds are rarely awarded while Fs are common amongst the students.
