Ques. How are the placements for the XIMB UMG course?
● Top Answer By Debottam Mukherjee on 22 Apr 21
Ans.The only suggestion considering this question is that it is better not to join these courses. It is due to the current horrible situation in the real estate business market. Thereby, there are minimal chances to get a job as a city planner or infrastructural manager. Besides, the offered salaries are also below that average scale; thus, the ROI is extremely zero. The student will be frustrated later by facing these issues consecutively. However, there are also some similar courses in XUB, NICMAR, RICS SBE, and SCMHRD. None of these is good. If you are interested in this type of career option, you can go for NICMAR, as it is an old institute. This institute also offers an average salary of about 6 LPA. Besides, it is required to study well, prepare for CAT, and get at least 90%. This is the ultimate option and allows you to choose a top-level institute among 30-40 colleges. Otherwise, it will be just wasting of hard-earned money.Read more
Ques. Which course should I choose between IIML ABM, SPJAIN IM and IIM Shillong PGP?
● Top Answer By Himank Agarwal on 16 Jan 23
Ans.No matter which B School you choose, PGP is always a better choice than ABM. But there might be a specific reason why you got an ABM offer rather than a PGP. But at IIM Lucknow, students of both programs are offered equal opportunities. These include final placements. summer placements and subsequent PPOs. The major drawback of ABM is that you are deprived of the PGP electives and can cover ABM electives only. These electives cover strategy marketing and operations. Talking about your offer from SP JAIN for IM, let me tell you that in this regard, IIM Shillong is a much better choice. Its campus in Dubai is a testament to its worth.Read more
