Is NITIE Mumbai a better option than an M.Tech from IITs?
You didn’t mention your branch, which makes it difficult to draw a conclusive comparison. NITIE is known for its Industrial Engineering course.
If you are talking about Industrial Engineering is definitely the better option as compared to IITs. It offers great placement opportunities for Industrial Engineering students. The average CTC offered at the institute is around 20 LPA. In 2021, the highest CTC offered was 44 LPA. Such salary packages are unheard of for M.Tech courses at IITs.
If you are talking about branches other than Industrial Engineering then you should first figure out which branch interests you more, before choosing an institute.
Is there a form to be filled out before the IIM Indore IPM interview?
I have a few friends from IIM Indore and they received a form to be filled out before the IIM Indore IPM interview. It had some basic questions such as "Why do you want to join IPM?". The questions are very general and it is just there to gauge the opinions and interest of the candidate.
The interviewers usually read the answers and primarily ask the questions based on the answer written by the candidate on the form, thus it is important to fill it carefully. The interviewers just want to know your thoughts and writing skills in general.

Will my 10th and 12 marks affect in getting admission to a top business school? (XLRI, TISS)
Yes, some of the top B-schools consider 10th and 12th marks for their admissions. The weightage given to them is low in most of the top B-schools.
You still have a shot at securing a seat in these colleges. You will be eligible for Group Discussion and Personal Interview, but the final selection will be taken on the basis of your overall capabilities and scores. Along with your academic scores, your XAT score will also be taken into consideration.
However, the admission procedure of XLRI and TISS is not based solely on the XAT score. The following shows that each component has a certain weightage in the overall evaluation of a candidate.

What are the kinds of case studies students study in NMIMS Mumbai? Do they get to study and provide solutions for any current industry problems?
When it comes to the case studies discussed in NMIMS classes, most of them are Harvard case studies. These case studies are generally a decade old or more, but they still hold value in terms of the knowledge they provide. As a student, you will be able to learn a lot from these case studies and they will help you gain a clear understanding of academic concepts. These case studies are also designed very well and are thought-provoking, forcing you to think differently from the routine approach.
However, there are some cons to using Harvard case studies. For one, the assumed market situations are not similar to India. This can make it difficult for Indian students to understand the context since they have not grown up in an environment like the USA where some things are taken for granted. Additionally, the competition scenario in India is very different for different kinds of businesses in the current age. Finally, there is a limited practical correlation to any existing company or case in India.
When it comes to current industry problems, the markets for which cases are written matter a lot. While professors may think they are imparting highly valued knowledge by discussing Harvard case studies, these might hardly be of any use if you are looking to compete in the Indian market scenario.
Ultimately, it all boils down to how inquisitive you are. For each case you study, you can imagine an Indian parallel. You can correlate a case based on the fall of Kodak to say, Moti soap in India or correlate a case on Southwest Airlines to the case of Kingfisher in India. It all depends on you. If you have an inquisitive mind, the professors will be more than interested to share their points of view with you and the rest of the class.
How is the Executive Advanced General Management Programme (1 year) at IIM Lucknow? What are the opportunities?
Rather than inquiring about the worth of a course, one should analyze whether the course is suitable for them or not. Your preference should be a priority not the worth of the course.
That being said, Executive MBA programs are suitable for
- professionals with considerable experience (+10 years) , who are also managing a large team
- people in the consulting industry
If you don’t belong to any of these 2 categories, then the course is of no real value for you. This is because this program is far sighted and focuses on managerial elements like Organization and Strategies. Unless you are a consultant or a top manager this knowledge will be of little use. So go for it once you belong to one of the two categories only.
Which particular book should I buy to practice only maths for IIM Indore IPM?
Maths is comparatively tougher than the other two in the IPM aptitude test. So it is important that you prepare for it very thoroughly. The following are some books that are recommended.
Arun Sharma for CAT is an excellent book for practicing math skills. Just remember to quit when it becomes too much, otherwise, you'll end up squandering your time on just one subject.
Do not attempt any of the higher-level questions in it. But remember this book does not serve as a bible or anything and you’ll have to work very hard to crack this particular exam.
Besides, there is another book named “Word Power Made Easy” which is an excellent English textbook that is also enjoyable to read.
