When deciding on the merit of MBA colleges based on how much money you'll earn in your first year after completion, it's important to consider the long-term impact on your life. Many people have found success after completing MBA programs from institutions that may not be considered as prestigious as others. It's important to become responsible for your own life and make the choice that is best for you.
It's worth noting that the average salary of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB) for an MBA has gone up by 15.77% in Placement 2022 to Rs.17.54 LPA, up from Rs.15.15 LPA last year. Additionally, the median salary has gone up by 18% to Rs.17.10 LPA, up from Rs.14.50 LPA last year. This indicates that the MBA programs offered by the institution have a good track record of providing students with valuable skills and knowledge that are in high demand by top recruiters such as Accenture, Deloitte, Cognizant, EY, ICICI Bank, KPMG, Nestle, Titan, and Kotak Mahindra, among others.
Ultimately, it's up to you to make the decision that will have the biggest impact on your future. Consider the long-term implications of your choices and take responsibility for your own life. Choose a program that will provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to achieve your goals, regardless of the institution's perceived prestige.
Yes, it is natural that when you are applying for a course in Wildlife, you are bound to encompass aspects of Wildlife as well, which would be a crucial part of the course. This includes Ecosystem Management, Wildlife Conservation, Forestry, and Environment.
The most interesting fact here is that once you complete your course on Wildlife from IIFM, Bhopal you would manage to grab a golden opportunity for yourself to work with reputed wildlife organizations like World Wildlife Fund (WWF), MP Tiger Foundation, MP Forest Department, and many others like that.
If you are just as passionate about forests and wildlife, you should definitely go for IIFM Bhopal. Perhaps try to connect with alumni for better clarification on your queries as they would have better to explain along with on-ground knowledge.
Both IIT Kanpur and IIT Roorkee are premier academic institutions in India. Pursuing an MBA from either carries a positive brand image in the industry. Both institutions are well-recognized for their well-structured academic program, highly qualified and experienced faculty members, and excellent research facilities. However, the choice depends on you and your personal preference.
The following answer is based on my brother’s experience at NMIMS and may vary from person to person depending on their own personal expenses and standard of living. The table below shows the NMIMS MBA fee structure.
Particulars |
Data |
Total Fees |
INR 23.90 Lakhs |
Hostel fees (Non-Refundable) |
INR 2,25,000- 3,00,000 |
Hostel fees (Refundable) |
INR 10,000 |
From the above data the approximate cost is 26-27 Lakhs. The additional expenses like hanging out, fares, and miscellaneous activities can amount to 1 Lakh.
Now let’s consider you staying in a flat and not a hostel. The MBA fees remain the same. But the living expenses are considerably cut down. My friend lives in a flat with 5 people and shared her average expenses.
The total expenses including tuition fees amount to 30-33 Lakhs. I think it’s better to go to a hostel than to a flat.
For these B-School, your preference order should be IIM A > IIM C (Finance) or IIM B (if specialization isn’t a factor) > FMS > MDI. NMIMS isn’t in the same league as the others.
IIM brand value has its advantages. You can benefit a lot, if you are pursuing your MBA from IIM A, B, and C. But the IIMs charge high fees. IIM A MBA fees are INR 23 Lakhs. While FMS has negligible course fees and offers high ROI. FMS Delhi placements are comparable to IIM A, B, and C.
So, the choice comes down to brand value vs. ROI. If you want good placements and a high return on investment, choose FMS.
Life gets quite boring after pursuing MBA from the Department of Management Sciences, Pune. One of my friends studied at the Department of Management Sciences, Pune, and I will state some facts about how graduating from PUMBA looks like.
After graduating from PUMBA you will miss all those days of fun that you have spent there. Late-night birthday parties, gossip with friends, you will surely gonna miss all those.
Therefore, if you are thinking of joining the PUMBA, then go ahead with it. Life in college, as well as life after that, will be good.
An MTech from IIT Bombay and an MBA from IIM Bangalore are two very different options. While one focuses on technological aspects the other focuses on managerial aspects. So before even dwelling on the worth of the courses individually you should self-analyze your inclinations and choose one path you are sure about.
Jot down your short and long-term goals. What exactly are you willing to do in your life apart from earning money? Are you more inclined to the corporate world or are the technical elements that attract you more? Having clarity of goals and understanding of what you want from your life is the primary determining factor for choosing your college as well as course.
Objectively, both courses offer a plethora of job prospects and you will gain a lot by choosing any of the two. But making a wise decision here is most important. Choosing an MBA just because it has good career prospects despite having an interest in technology is deluding yourself. You cannot attain success unless you are sincerely passionate about the field you are pursuing.
It is not a brainer that an MBA from FMS Delhi is a much better choice than IIT Delhi. IIT Delhi's MBA program is not even close to that if FMS and both are poles apart. If you want your MBA degree to be valuable enough to shape your career drastically, FMS is the one for you.
Here are a few pointers as to why I am so strongly in favor of FMS Delhi:
Ranking: One of the most valued ranking systems, IIRF ranks DMS IITD MBA 14 out of 44 colleges in India while FMS is ranked 5 out of 44 colleges in India in 2023.
Fees: IIT Delhi offers MBA at around INR 10.4 Lakhs (for 2 years) while FMS has very low fees of around INR 96,000 per year. This is almost 1/4th of the fees of the MBA program offered at IIT Delhi despite being way ahead in terms of brand value.
Placements: Being one of the premier B-schools in the country, it offers excellent placements that almost par with the top IIMs and its placements are nowhere comparable to IIT Delhi’s placements.

ROI: One does not even need to think twice before saying that FMS Delhi offers a much higher return on investment than IIT Delhi with much lower fees and placement opportunities notches higher.
Many times people forgo offers from top IIMs just for FMS because of no financial burden.
It may seem inappropriate to reveal the recruiter's name, but the company was a bulge bracket investment bank and is a regular recruiter at FMS Delhi.
It only hires from the country's Top 3 Business Schools for its coveted front-end Investment Banking position. The company only hires through the summer placement process from three Indian business schools whose Finance curriculum, practical exposure, and candidate quality meet the company's high expectations, which include a salary of INR 66 LPA.
The company typically hires candidates with Outstanding academic records from Old IITs/BITs/CAs/Top Commerce Colleges and conducts interviews that can be very challenging, especially when focusing on the candidate's business and financial intellect. Interns who can manage an 80-100 hour work week during their summer internship while consistently delivering high-quality analysis, ideas, and presentations are offered a Pre-Placement offer for their coveted Front End Investment Banking role. During the two-month summer internship, the company pays a stipend of Rs 2 lakh per month.
