Should I join Accenture or IIM Raipur?

AS
Animesh Shah Posted On : January 20th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Raipur (2021)

Your question basically means whether you should gain experience or pursue MBA from IIM Raipur. In my opinion, joining IIM Raipur is the right choice because

  1. You have cleared CAT and got selected. This might never happen in the future again due to the unpredictable nature of CAT. So don’t lose this opportunity.
  2. Joining Raipur right now is almost similar to going for a better B school 2 years later as Raipur might be flourishing till then.
  3. Even if you work and join IIM Raipur later, your disinterest in the job might be reflected in your interview thus becoming a negative impact on the panelists.

The fear of joining a new IIM is common as one is investing huge amounts of money. But you need to remember that every new IIM becomes an old IIM one day.

Which one of the two would be a better choice, IIM Raipur or IIM Kashipur?

IIM Delhi would have been a reality if capital cities were the only places that could draw high-caliber placements. Since many of the participants in this thread appear to be unaware of the paradox that geography affects employment opportunities. 

Slow placements and offer retraction have been a source of complaint for many IIMs. In addition, numerous IIMs, including Raipur, according to the papers, have been asked to submit their reports for review by the MHRD due to unsatisfactory data. But Kashipur is not at all a part of these worrying developments. IIM Kashipur was given the all-clear despite not encountering either of the issues.

If you compare the reports, which basically show people don't give a hoot about geography if they have the quality to be obtained, it still has one of the highest numbers of companies visiting the campus. In contrast, IIM Kashipur's numbers have consistently outperformed those of comparable institutions, and one can also see that the roles available are comprehensive and varied.

So, if you want a quality education and a quality job that will be a uniform outcome of quality education, go somewhere that is off-limits to the rest of the world.

Which IIM should I prefer, Ranchi/ Rohtak/ Raipur/ Udaipur? And why?

AS
Arshdeep Sehra Posted On : January 25th, 2023
Research Analyst at Pattern Drive Private Limited (2019–present)

Out of the IIMs like IIM Rohtak, IIM Raipur, and IIM Udaipur, IIM Ranchi may be the best choice for several reasons. Firstly, despite being an IIM, IIM Ranchi is relatively new and is still working towards building a reputation for itself. On the other hand, IIM Ranchi is an established institution that has been around for longer and can be trusted for its campus, faculty, and placements. 

Additionally, as a newer institute, IIM Ranchi may be more focused on making a mark and establishing itself as a top business school, which could potentially lead to a more dedicated and driven faculty and student body. Overall, while all the IIMs are highly regarded institutes, IIM Ranchi may offer a unique and potentially more rewarding experience due to its status as a newer institute.

What makes IIM Raipur special?

IG
Isha Gollen Posted On : February 6th, 2023
PGDM from Indian Institute of Management Raipur (Graduated 2015)

When it comes to evaluating the uniqueness of IIM Raipur, it's important to consider that the institute is relatively young, having been established around 22 years ago. You have the opportunity to witness the growth and development of the institute from its early stages. While IIM Raipur may not yet be considered a peerless institution, it has still managed to create a niche for itself among the IIMs.

One of the strengths of the institute is its per-capita spending on study materials, which is not limited, unlike older IIMs. Additionally, IIM Raipur is open to experimentation, which is a result of it being a startup compared to other, more established institutions.

Another aspect that works in favor of IIM Raipur is the student community. Despite past and ongoing constraints, the students have been continuously working to improve the institute and increase its visibility. This is evident in the outreach to aspirants during the post-CAT admission process, and the establishment of niche clubs like HRidhaan, OPEP, and CEC. Furthermore, the events organized by the institute such as HR Summit, GSMC, ICHL, and Leadership Summit, are of high visibility and good quality.

In conclusion, while IIM Raipur may not yet be considered a special institute, it is different in a positive sense and has the potential to become special in the near future.

Can you become a professor in IIMs or IITs after FPM from new IIMs, like Rohtak or Raipur?

BR
Biplab Roy Posted On : January 21st, 2023
MBA Strategy and Operations, Indian Institute of Management Raipur

Becoming a professor from the new IIMs is definitely possible but rare. The FPM program offered at the new IIMs has varied peers some being freshers while some with Masters from foreign universities.

The following things matter when selecting an Assistant Professor in a new IIM

  • Your experience 
  • The quality of your papers

The chances are rare because most of the new IIMs have professors who have done Ph.D. from older IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta. Ph.D. is a program that totally depends on your performance and research. The initial years focus solely on research training and cannot be enough to make you eligible for faculty positions.

So your chances are rare but not null.

Which would be a better choice, IIM Raipur or IIM Trichy?

PM

I think firstly you need to change your mindset. Rather than pondering on which college is better, ponder on which college is better for you. Analyzing your situation this way will enable you to make a wiser decision. This is because only you truly know what you want from your MBA degree, and that is the sole basis for deciding your choice of college.

Now identifying your own interests and preferences might be a tricky task. I have some tips that might help you know your forte.

  • Use the research tools of today’s world and study different colleges
  • Try to find what you want to achieve after completing your MBA
  • If you have decided on a certain domain, go through the alumni profiles of that specific domain. Check the same for various B Schools analyzing which B School has the maximum percentage of alumni in that domain.
  • Study the culture of various B Schools you are choosing from
  • Look for location advantages and accessibility 

Checking all these aspects might help you come up with a healthy decision. Don’t be hasty to choose a B School as this decision will affect your career.
