Which B school should I choose between VGSoM IIT KGP and IIM Nagpur?

PS
Pranay Singh Posted On : February 4th, 2023
MBA in General Management, VGSOM, IIT Kharagpur (Graduated 2021)

When considering graduate business programs, it is important to weigh the various factors that may influence your decision. IIT Kharagpur's Vinod Gupta School of Management (VGSoM) has a long legacy and robust alumni network, spanning over 25 years. In contrast, IIM Nagpur, a newer institution, has graduated only three batches so far. VGSoM also boasts a spacious campus of 2100 acres, while IIM Nagpur does not have its own campus.

While the fees for both programs are roughly the same, the average package at VGSoM is significantly higher at INR 19.36 LPA compared to INR 13.21 LPA at IIM Nagpur. However, IIM Nagpur does offer a unique opportunity for students to spend one trimester at IIM Ahmedabad and receive mentorship from the institution's faculty. Additionally, for some individuals, the IIM tag may hold additional prestige.

It's worth noting that the IIM tag is highly respected for older IIMs and certain regional campuses such as IIM Trichy, IIM Udaipur, and IIM Ranchi. However, for baby IIMs like IIM Nagpur, the tag may not hold as much weight when compared to an esteemed institution like VGSoM which holds the IIT tag and offers an MBA program that is semester based, while IIM Nagpur offers a trimester-based postgraduate program.

Which would be the best choice among IIFT Kolkata, IIM Trichy and other new IIMs for someone with strong interests to pursue a career in finance?

WV
Wilfred Vivek Posted On : January 13th, 2023
PGP in Management from Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam (2020)

IIM Trichy is an ideal choice for pursuing a career in Finance. Many reputed banks visit the campus for recruitment like Citi, ICICI Bank, and YES Bank. This year the Finance sector accounted for 15%of the total placements. The highest CTC stood at INR 20 LPA whereas the average CTC stood at INR 17.67 LPA.

The IIFT program of Kolkata may have an upper hand due to its location but it’s not at par with IIM Trichy. If you are interested in the program I suggest you go for the New Delhi one.

The new IIMs are somewhat similar to Trichy but they won’t help you kickstart a career directly in finance. You might have to take baby steps to enter the Finance sector. So it’s best if you choose IIM Trichy only.

What is the difference between IIM Calcutta, Lucknow, and FMS Delhi?

KK
Kunal Kishore Posted On : December 12th, 2022
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (Graduated 2018)

Firstly the question is pretty vague as you haven’t mentioned the parameters for comparison between IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, and FMS Delhi. Yet I have included some factual comparisons between the three.

  1. FMS is the oldest as it was established in 1954, IIM Calcutta in 1961, and IIM Lucknow in 1984.

  2. FMS and IIM Calcutta offer only one MBA program (2 years) whereas IIM Lucknow offers 3 PGP, PGP-ABM, and PGP-SM.

  3. The order for the batch size of the three colleges is IIML>IIMC>FMS Delhi.

  4. Both the IIMs i.e. IIM Calcutta and IIM Lucknow are autonomous institutions where FMS Delhi is a department of the University of Delhi.

  5. Fees for IIM Calcutta: INR 2700000, IIM Lucknow: INR 19.25 Lakhs, FMS Delhi: 1.92 Lakhs

  6. The specialty of IIM Calcutta is finance, FMS Delhi is Marketing and IIM Lucknow is operations. 

All this comparison is based on actual facts and not my personal opinion.

Which university should I go to for a master’s in Analytics, University of Cincinnati or McGill?

PP
Parth Patel Posted On : February 3rd, 2021
Studied MS in Business Analytics at the University of Cincinnati

The engineering and IT schools at the University of Cincinnati work alongside each other on many aspects including analytics too. The IT school has a reputation for having the fastest growth in the entire university. P&G, GE, Cincinnati Bell, Great American Insurance, Western-Southern Life, Kroger, Macy’s, are some of the companies with which the school partnered which means great placement opportunities. The Co-op program offered by the college is also the best you can get in the country.

McGill University is ranked at 51st place in Best Global Universities by US News meanwhile the University of Cincinnati is ranked at 143rd place in National universities in the US. If you wish to choose the college depending on academics, then both the schools share a good reputation in that aspect. 

Here’s a quick comparison for you to consider their pros and cons:

Content University of Cincinnati McGill University
Program MS (Business Analytics) MBA (Business Analytics)
Duration 2 Years 2 Years
Tuition Fees USD14,949/Year USD33,375/Year
Exam Scores (Average) IELTS-7.5 TOEFL-100 GMAT-737 IELTS-7 TOEFL-105 GMAT-660

However, with all its academic excellence the University of Cincinnati is not so well known outside of Ohio. So, after finishing your master's, if your goal is to look for work opportunities outside of the US, you may as well wish to pursue your education at an institute that is known around places.

Meanwhile pursuing your Master's degree at McGill University offers better future academics, as well as better employment opportunities. McGill has global recognition and it was ranked at 42nd place in World University Rankings in 2020 by Times Higher Education. The institute is well-reputed around the world which will surely ensure better job prospects for you when you finish your studies.

A few of my friends graduated from IIM Ahmedabad and Athena School of Management. From whatever I have heard from them, I can say that the answer is no. IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore & IIM Calcutta are considered the Trinity of India's Best Business Schools for around 50 years.

Athena School of Management is a much younger Business School with a lot of innovation and inspiration. It is ranked as India's Best Emerging Business School with multiple internships. The faculty is from across the world with global exposure.

But the Athena School of Management is not better than the IIM Ahmedabad. IIM Ahmedabad is the gold standard for B-schools in India. The institute is ranked Top 1 in the NIRF ranking (2020).

Total fees 23 Lakhs 13.5 Lakhs
Placement percent 100% 80%
