Just like the new IITs, this is another one of those so-called IIMs that simply has the IIM name displayed on its building. The credibility of these institutes is severely lacking when compared to both their own students (though I certainly hope not the faculty) and the outside world. And justifiably so. Building up one's credibility and esteem requires time and effort over the course of many years. The ancient IITs didn't become household names overnight; rather, it took its students and staff a couple of decades to make their mark on the world stage, which is why they are known today.

When I go to these types of institutes, I hear students bragging about how fantastic their own school is by mentioning some impressive placement packages that a select few students may have received or by claiming victory in some challenging competitions. I say that you should let the rest of the world judge your excellence. Why do you have to pound your own drum?

Go to XLRI or TISS if you are serious about getting an MBA in human resources. They are unrivaled in this particular industry.

Staff Selection Commission (SSC) will land you in a government job. There are different departments in SSC where you can get placed. Whereas, MBA from SIBM Bangalore will weave you to be corporate ready and land you in a private white-collar job.

Choice

• If you want to be at a work-life equilibrium and a fixed-paying job, cracking the SSC exam makes sense. SSC provides you with job security.
• If you want to earn a lucrative package and are ready to have a hectic life with variable work hours, MBA is the best choice. SIBM Bangalore is the second well-known and high-rated campus of Symbiosis International University after SIBM Pune.
• SSC will cost you less, but competition is high due to the “Government job” tag.

If you have already cleared SSC Tier-1 and Tier-2 exams, leaving SSC will not be a wise choice. SSC is a preferable choice over MBA from SIBM Bangalore. The reason is, MBA from SIBM Bangalore does not have much credibility in the industry.
