Which college is better for a PGDM in Marketing, IMS Ghaziabad or NDIM Tughlakhabad?

To achieve a strong professional profile, it is recommended that you aim for a MAT score of 97 or above, or take the MAT exam again for the best results. Additionally, having a valid license for a two-wheeler may be beneficial for a sales profile, but it's best to confirm this with the placement officer.

In the event that you cannot reach the desired MAT tier, building a LinkedIn profile and connecting with alumni who have worked in sales profiles may provide insight into job stability and average take-home salary. Keep in mind that the success of a few students, even if they are featured in promotional posters, may not accurately reflect the experiences of the entire student body.

It's also important to consider placement quality, stability, and job sustainability when evaluating institutions. For instance, with a high student intake, NDIM may not necessarily guarantee quality placements. Checking LinkedIn for reviews from alumni may offer a more accurate perspective.

Lastly, be mindful when considering IMS G as there have been reports of dissatisfaction with placements among current and former students. It may be wise to consult LinkedIn for reviews and make an informed decision, as the investment in your education is significant.

PGPM Marketing and Business Strategy & Human Resource Management, Xavier School of Management (2019)

Both are among the top 10 B-schools in the country and each of them excels in certain areas. Picking out a simple winner among them is not really a great idea to identify their true potentials. But still, let us try to compare between the two on some aspects –

    • Best known programs – IIM Ahmedabad is known for its general management and marketing courses in particular. XLRI is best known for its human resource program and is considered to be the best program in the country.
    • Teaching methodology – IIM Ahmedabad is more practical and case study focused while XLRI follows more conceptual and theory-based teaching.
  • Job Roles - IIM Ahmedabad will build competencies around consulting strategy while XLRI is apt for management-related roles.

Which college is worth joining, SPM PDPU or IMT Nagpur?

Aparna Das Posted On : June 15th, 2023

If it’s to choose between SPM PDPU and IMT Nagpur, then IMT Nagpur should be an easy pick if you want to pursue a general MBA. If you just want to go to SPM PDPU for a better ROI and do not have any interest in petroleum management, you might be making a big mistake. 

If you have a petroleum engineering background, you could take a chance and get into SPM PDPU. The college has a decent placement and better ROI than IMT Nagpur but the only concern is that it is a very niche course and although we do have big brands and a pool of industry dedicated to this field I would suggest thinking it over and going for SPM PDPU only if you are sure you do not want to switch to any other domain any soon. 

Take a look at the table below for your reference:

IIFT Delhi is one of the premium institutes in India which offers excellent education to its students. 

When we talk about the Masters in Economics, IIFT Delhi started this course in the year 2018 which is very recent.

NMIMS, Mumbai or NIRMA Institute, Ahmedabad, which one of the two is better for perusing graduation course in commerce?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : May 6th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

 In terms of both recognition and ranking NMIMS is a far more reputable institution than Nirma University. The tuition as well as the many other costs are significantly greater than those of Nirma University. 

It is important to consider the exposure and influence that a university has on an individual. The majority of NMIMS students come from outside the campus area and are from upper middle class and higher middle class backgrounds. NMIMS will offer more diversity as students come from all over India.

You should give Loyola or TAPMI the highest priority among these options. In the event that the Mumbai campus is chosen, Welingkar will be your second priority. In the event that Hyderabad is the winner, IBS will finish in third place. In any other case, it will be quite expensive to keep it.

Which College is better IIM Trichy or Raipur or Ranchi?

TC
Tanuj Chandra Posted On : February 6th, 2023
BSc (Hons) Agriculture from Bihar Agricultural University (Graduated 2020)

When it comes to deciding which of the second-generation IIMs is the best among IIM Trichy, IIM Raipur, IIM Ranchi, it is important to note that all three institutions were established around the same time. As a result, it is too early to make an accurate determination of which is superior.

In terms of placement opportunities and the types of profiles offered, the three IIMs are quite similar. However, it's important to note that each IIM has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, and what may be the best fit for one student may not be the best fit for another.

Therefore, before deciding on a business school, it's crucial to set your own criteria and consider what factors are most important to you in terms of the curriculum, campus culture, location, and career opportunities. Additionally, it's recommended to research and visit each campus, and talk with current students, alumni, and faculty, to get a better idea of which IIM aligns better with your goals.

Can a person graduating from IIMs like LIK and even the new IIMs like Ranchi and Trichy ever catch up to the graduates from ABC and get a similar package?

HN
Hardik Nagar Posted On : January 20th, 2023
Senior Consultant at Oracle (company)

There are three categories in which the answer can be seen:

  • Students who have graduated from IIM LIK can catch up to IIM ABC relatively easily or may end up at the same level by the end of their postgraduate program. IIM Trichy will eventually catch up with IIM LIK, though it may take around 5 years. IIM Ranchi, on the other hand, will take longer to reach the same level.
  • IIM LIK catching up with IIM ABC may take 3-8 years. With the presence of good FMCG/Consulting/Financial Services Companies, a jump or two could bring them to the same level. IIM Trichy and Ranchi will take a very long time to catch up with IIM ABC in this category.
  • The top 10% of students from IIM LIK and IIM ABC evolved as toppers after at least 18 months of hard work. There will be a significant difference between anyone in this category, regardless of whether they are from IIM ABC or LIK. While there may be a difference in starting packages due to the reputation of the institute, it will be made up for in subsequent years. It is not clear how long it will take for students from IIM Trichy or Ranchi to reach this level.
