How is life at SPJIMR compared to the old IIMs?
When compared to the top IIMs, SPJIMR is a rather moderately good B School. Yet the placements and roles offered by the B School are at par with that of IIMs. The major USP of the B School is its profile-based evaluation. This means a certain candidate can make it into SPJIMR even if he was unable to get a high CAT or XAT score of 98-99 percentile provided that his profile is excellent. With the required skills, qualities, and a decent academic record you could get admission and meet not necessarily get a very high CAT score. This gives a wider spectrum for students to showcase their skills other than academics. There are some more key points where SPJIMR fares rather well when compared to IIMs or other B Schools.
Fees: The primary factor that distinguishes SPJIMR from the top B Schools is the moderate fees. SPJIMR PGDM fees for 2 years is ?20.42 Lakhs (Total Fees) while that of top IIMs is above 20 lakhs.
Placements: The entire placement drive is concluded quite fast and is at par with the top IIMs. SPJIMR Completes Final Placements 2023 with 46% Rise in Highest Salary at Rs. 77.8 LPA and 3% Rise in Average Salary at Rs. 33.02 LPA; Accenture, BCG, HUL, Godrej, ITC, KPMG, P&G being the major recruiters.
Batch size: This is an often underestimated aspect when in reality it affects both, placements and the quality of education. SPJIMR batch size is around 300 while that of most IIMs is 350-500. The low batch size results in better bonding between peers and close relations with the faculty.
Location: Located in the Finance capital of India, SPJIMR offers a plethora of advantages. Easy access to CXOs and practitioners gives the learning experience at SPJIMR a practical approach.
Curriculum: The curriculum is unique in the sense that it targets not just the student's IQ but also EQ and creates socially and emotionally aware managers. This unique course curriculum at SPJIMR offers three distinct levels of learning:
- Self-awareness
- Self-management
- Societal awareness
Pedagogy: Apart from the regular courses and teaching methodology employed at other premier B Schools, SPJIMR takes five key initiatives in the ‘Non-Classroom Learning’ area which include ADMAP, DOCC, Abhyudaya, PG Lab, and Science of Spirituality.
All these unique aspects make life at SPJIMR a very good experience compared to old IIMs.
Why are IIMs more popular than ISB Hyderabad among Indian households?
There are many major reasons why ISB Hyderabad is not as popular as IIMs among Indian households. Some of them include
- ISB Hyderabad is a private non-AICTE affiliated institute that functions under a totally different model.
- Owing to its hefty fees(around 30+ Lakhs), it's almost inaccessible to an average Indian.
- The batch size is huge becoming a major obstacle during placements
- The 1-year program fails to provide in-depth exposure and is just a source of Certificates and a brand tag.
- It does not provide International placements to the majority of students who do not belong to the elite class.
All these reasons are strong enough to persuade one against joining ISB Hyderabad and is thus not much popular among Indian households.
The reason why IIMs are popular in contrast to ISB Hyderabad are
- Provided jobs similar in nature to the ones provided by ISB Hyderabad at a much lower fees.
- The 2 year MBA program provides an in-depth exposure to the curriculum in contrast to the 1 year program at ISB Hyderabad
So all this makes IIMs much popular in India despite ISB Hyderabad global rankings.
