Which college is better for a part time MBA: JBIMS or NMIMS?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : June 20th, 2023
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

The way I look at and assess a part-time MBA is different from how I look at and assess a full-time one.

So, I’ll probably look at a few things

  1. Faculty and course structure: NMIMS aggressively markets for their course and sells it better to you. JBIMS, on the other hand, doesn’t. I have had students who have done their part-time but that’s long ago. So, I’m not going to say anything about the course. A thorough research would help. If there is no great difference then I would look at these factors
  2.  Location: As a working professional and a parent, this matters to me. Taking up a course doesn’t change things for me. In fact, I tend to work harder to keep my family happier, somewhere knowing that I’m taking my time away from them. So traveling to the college should be convenient and more important should be the commute back.
  3.  Fees: This is also a factor worth considering. I usually think of what I will learn and many other factors. However, this factor will be important since the course will be self-sponsored and affordability will be paramount.
  4.  Course flexibility: This is also something I will consider. I’m sure the course would take into consideration the work schedules and hectic work life of their students, but as an entrepreneur, I will also consider the flexibility offered for attendance and submissions.

The primary focus should be to enjoy the learning experience and knowing your goals and how it is transacted is very important and must not be compromised.

Which is better for a PGDM, IMT G or TAPMI?

VS
Vikrant Sinha Posted On : April 27th, 2023
MBA finance & marketing, IMT Ghaziabad

IMT Ghaziabad is in a different league as of now. Though TAPMI is improving, It's still behind IMT G. In this scenario, the institute matters, not your specialization.

In my limited experience working in the sector and with recruiters, IMT has a better reputation than TAPMI. In many organizations, IMT is a better B-school than TAPMI. It's about image. As your career progresses, that is more significant than campus placements.

IMT is relaxed and requires self-motivation. You have every chance-use it. IMT has a great faculty, so you should be fine.

Particulars

TAPMI Manipal

IMT Ghaziabad

Highest Package

INR 22.3 LPA

INR 65.6 LPA

Average Package

INR 15.7 LPA

INR 17.35 LPA

Fees

INR 15.50 LPA 

INR 19.53 LPA

Undoubtedly, IMT G is a better option than TAPMI.

How academically intense is the MBA at IIM Bangalore?

SM
Sharda Mishra Posted On : December 30th, 2022
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (Graduated 2017)

The first year is extremely challenging because you will be studying subjects that you have never studied before. Accounting would be required for an engineering graduate, and statistics would be required for a commerce graduate. This, along with other activities, constant submissions, and class tests, makes the first year academically demanding.

In the second year, students have the option of selecting their own subjects, so they can take courses that are less rigorous academically than others. There is an exchange term in the second year as well, and for students who choose to participate in an exchange program, this is the least academically demanding term of the entire program.

How good is KJ Somaiya PGDM Communications? And how good are the placements?

NM
Nikita Mehta Posted On : December 26th, 2022
Studied PGDM in International Business at K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research (SIMSR) (Graduated 2020)

Although all the courses offered at KJ Somaiya are equally good, its Marketing discipline is the most coveted one. Also there is no partiality during placement of students of various disciplines. Every student is allowed to sit for PPT and then for final interviews after selection.KJ Somaiya conducts a transparent and unbiased placement drive. Students from Finance, Marketing, Operations and HR get segregated during the initial selection process.

A number of companies visit the campus for placements. The placement committee makes sure that every year new companies also line up in addition to the many companies that visit every year. So I don’t think placements should be a concern for anyone getting into KJ Somaiya.

Which one is better between IIM Lucknow PGP sustainability Management and IIM Shillong PGP and why?

AG
Anmol Gupta Posted On : January 16th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (Graduated 2019)

IIM Lucknow is one of the older IIMs and therefore has a stronger alumni base. IIMs mostly specialize in Core Management and Investment Banking. So before you consider taking Sustainable Management look up at the figures and campus records.

Sustainable Management is only beneficial if at the end of the program you have formed professional colleagues or have come up with a business idea.

Currently, Sustainable Development lacks the demand and credibility enjoyed by other domains. So it’s a risky choice and should be considered only if you are serious about it or don’t have any other options.

  • The International Business stream in PGDM at FORE has an outstanding syllabus, in which they teach quite a number of subjects different from the conventional core subjects.
  • The placement process of both FORE and LBSIM is almost the same.
  • Most companies allow only those students in their placement drives that have at least one of the specializations mentioned in their required profile. For example, a marketing company will allow only those students who have marketing as one of their specializations.
  • For students of the 2018-20 batch in FORE, the first specialization will be International Business. You have the liberty to choose any one of marketing, finance, strategy, IT, etc as your other specializations.
