Which college is better for MBA, IIM Trichy, IIM Udaipur or SIBM Pune?
In the long run, it can be argued that the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) may offer better opportunities for learning and growth compared to the Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM). While an opportunity to learn from any IIM is certainly wonderful, it is worth noting that the IIMs are known for their rigorous academic programs and may push students very hard.
In terms of specific areas of study, IIM Trichy may have a stronger focus on finance compared to IIM Udaipur, but in other specializations, the two institutes may be relatively similar. However, IIM Udaipur may offer more support for entrepreneurs and may provide easier access to international exposure. Ultimately, the decision of which institute to attend should be based on an individual's priorities and goals.
What are the merits of SIBM Pune over NMIMS Mumbai? Is SibM worth it for finance?
Both the colleges give an equal edge to each other in terms of establishment and worth yet if I had to choose one, I would definitely go for SIBM. I have stated a few points favoring and reasoning my choice
- Batch size: The major perk of SIBM over NMIMS is its small batch size in comparison to NMIMS. This facilitates better placements and teacher-student interaction.
- Fees: The fees of SIBM Pune is lower than that of NMIMS because of accommodation and living costs.
- SIBM Pune MBA fees: ? 13,49,000/Yr
- NMIMS MBA fees: ?11.95 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)
- Hostel: SIBM Pune has a hostel facility in contrast to NMIMS which has hostels for limited people that too at a high cost.
- Campus life: SIBM Pune provided you with an experience of campus life which is lacking on the part of NMIMS.
- Placements: Although both the B Schools have a 1% placement percentage, the quality of roles is low at NMIMS due to the huge batch size. The time taken for the batch to get placed is also more in the case of NMIMS.
- COL: The cost of living is less in the case of SIBM Pune whereas a lot is in the case of NMIMS Mumbai.
- Specialization: While NMIMS is mostly known only for its Finance, SIBM excels in both Finance as well as Marketing.
All these points conclude that SIBM Pune is a safer and better option.
Why is the IIM Lucknow Brand value increasing over FMS's, in the opinion of MBA aspirants?
Before I even answer your question let me contradict it. No, the IIM Lucknow brand value is not really increasing over the FMS in any aspect. If anyone really thinks so then he/she is just after the brand name. To clarify my point, I have listed out some strong points in favor of FMS that might change your mind.
- A cost-benefit analysis that includes tangible and intangible asset(s) evaluation will prove the fact that FMS certainly does better. Apart from this the ROI factor cannot be underestimated in the case of FMS.
- Your purpose of pursuing an MBA will very much determine the brand value of a college. If you just want to attach a tag with you for life then IIM it is, but if you are looking beyond that and want to be exposed to a self-discovery journey along with MBA, then FMS is for you.
- The infrastructure is indeed lacking when compared to IIM Lucknow, but this never means that it fails to impart quality education. In fact, FMS has given birth to many top-class management leaders.
- The batch size is very low in comparison to IIM Lucknow. This simply means more opportunities and less competition.
- FMS is a very old institute almost 60+ years of age whereas IIM Lucknow has completed half of this time only.
So we can definitely conclude that FMS is a fairly decent choice and that it’s just a misconception that IIM Lucknow is increasing in brand value. Someone has rightly said
At an IIM you loan your MBA, but at FMS you own it!

Which should I choose Loyola College or MCC Chennai?
You should choose Loyola College. It is considered among the best colleges in Tamil Nadu and offers good academics. The institute has strict rules in place regarding academics and attendance.
Loyola has a well-maintained 99 acres campus in the middle of the city. There are good hangout places near the campus.
Loyola College Chennai placements have been good over the years. During the 2021 placement drive, students received an average CTC of around INR 5.25 LPA.
Which branch should I choose, MNC in IIT BHU, IIT KGP, IIT Guwahati, or IIT Kanpur?
If you have an interest in Computer Science, then MNC in IIT BHU is an excellent choice as the program has more CS courses than Math. There are various other reasons that make this course an excellent choice
- IIT BHU has an environment conducive to coding and research.
- The curriculum is flexible with a wide variety of electives to choose from and explore all fields
- The programming clubs help hone your programming skills to the fullest
- The placement scenario is excellent and recently a student was offered a package of 1.29 crore by Microsoft with the average package being 30 lakhs.
- The usual average package is always above 20 LPA
- Most CS companies offer similar job profiles to MNC students as well. Some of these are Microsoft, Oracle, Samsung, Uber, Intel, Flipkart, Goldman Sachs, etc.
- Being an old IIT, it has an extensive alumni network
- There are great clubs and committees to promote extracurricular activities.
- TECHNEX, one of the oldest techno-management fest of India is organized by IIT BHU and its sports fest Spardha is the largest sports fest of India.
Basically, if you are inclined towards CS, then MNC at IIT BHU is better than both MNC at IIT Kanpur and CSE at newer IITs. MNC at IIT Kanpur is more inclined towards Math whereas the newer IITs lack the necessary infrastructure and opportunities.
Which one should I choose between IIM Jammu and IIM Bodh Gaya?
It’s up to you to decide which college to go to. I can only throw some light on the advantages IIM Jammu has over other newly established IIMs including IIM Bodh Gaya
- It was established in 2016 and initially was affiliated with IIM Lucknow but in 2019 it became an autonomous body.
- It’s located in the center of Jammu in the vicinity of the airport, the railway station, and the bus stand and therefore offers excellent connectivity.
- The students face a tight schedule and are well prepared for corporate life.
- Great emphasis is placed on extracurricular activities.
- The Annual Sports Event “Funathon” is held to showcase the talents of students in sports.
- Guest lectures, HR Conclave, and CEO Summit make it possible for the students to have a one-to-one interaction with Industry experts.
- Various clubs and committees are maintained by the students as well as the faculty.
These points are based on my friends' experience only. If you ask others I am sure you will see mixed responses. This is because both the IIMs are newly established and don’t have much difference.
