Is it worth spending money for a BBA at NMIMS, Mumbai?
My sister has recently completed her BBA with a specialization in Finance from NMIMS and she told me about the actual placement scenario of the college. She agrees with the fact that NMIMS is a top B School with an excellent curriculum and faculty. You will be offered amazing opportunities in the form of working in a big MNC or becoming an entrepreneur.
However, the situation of placements is not what it seems from the reports. Although my sister was able to get placed she witnessed many of her batch mates unplaced or placed with a very minimal package. Many companies visit the campus owing to the great brand value but the major problem that arises is the huge batch size. The competition is tough as the intake is very high. This year the total intake is BBA 600; BCOM 180. Henceforth very low packages are offered that are not even close to those mentioned in the placement reports.
In my sister's batch apart from 3 students, every student got a package of less than 3 LPA. Deloitte hired less than 17 students. While the placement scenario was really poor, the knowledge that she gained in those 3 years did help her pass CFA level-1 the next year. So it’s you who can decide if the money you spend is worth it or not by determining what you really want from your BBA.

Which one is the better option, a BBA from DU or from IIM Rohtak?
Many people consider DU as a better option especially if it’s any of the top 3-4 colleges. Yet I chose IIM Rohtak. Now I am going to list down reasons why one should choose DU or IIM Rohtak separately
Why one should go for DU
- You end up saving more than 10 lakhs which is a big amount
- The BBA course here is fairly new and promising
- The location advantage one avail while studying DU is far better than Rohtak.
- If one is sure that they can clear CAT
Why one should go for IIM Rohtak
- If you are a non-math student and have zero interest in commerce
- If you want to give one more chance CAT, you can give it after 3 years.
- The additional 10 lakhs rupees becomes more like insurance for your seat reserved in IIM Rohtak. This will save you from taking a year drop and an additional year to work.
Now on the basis of the above points, you can make a decision that suits you the best.
How do I crack IPM IIM Indore test in 3 days?
My colleague wrote the IPMAT back in 2013. It was one of the safe options for her, as she was preparing for law. The exam was to be held within 2 days of a major law exam. You can easily prepare for the exam in 2-3 days.
You can go through the sample papers and previous years’ papers to understand the pattern. Management exams are all about functioning with common sense and the IPM entrance exam tests just that. You can prepare with ease simply by revising what you've prepared in the last 6 months.
Have any BBA or BMS grads made it to IIM Ahmedabad?
I’ve had the opportunity to visit IIM Kozhikode, IIM Bangalore and IIM Ahmedabad for various competitions. While at these institutes, I interacted with many students. Some of them were from Economics background, and one had even completed her graduation in Philosophy.
Students from all these backgrounds, including BBS/BMS enjoy the diversity factor. This gives them an upper hand in the selection process over Engineers. But to enjoy this benefit, one must have a good CAT score, and a good academic record.
Prepare well for your CAT, and make sure you have a good academic record. If you fulfill these criteria, you’ll get into IIM Ahmedabad, regardless of your educational background.
Also, make sure to prepare well for the quant section of CAT. This is where the engineering students outdo the candidates from other academic backgrounds.

Which college is better to study BBA in business? Amity or NMIMS?
In my opinion, NMIMS Mumbai is a much better option than Amity. NMIMS offers a number of specialized BBA courses and the placement scenario is much better at NMIMS than Amity.
Mumbai is called the Mecca for Finance. It has a better and larger number of MNCs and firms that offer excellent exposure in contrast to Amity where the opportunities will be somewhat limited.
On the basis of the Management program, NMIMS even has better rankings than Amity.

Which course is the best? IIM Indore's IPM, BFIA / BMS at SSCBS, DU; BSc Fin. at NMIMS or BBA at Christ?
In my opinion, the best course among these is IPM. Some might even think I am a little biased towards this course but in reality once you learn the advantages of this program you will change your mind.
The Programme consists of 15 terms spread over a period of 5 years, with each year having 3 terms of 3 months. The subjects of the initial 3 years focus on the foundation and the last 2 years have core subjects that focus on Management.
- The programme is designed by renowned experts.
- IIM-I tag
- Amazing infrastructure
- Excellent faculty
- Extensive network of alumnis
- Peers from diverse backgrounds (The last 2 years are along with PGP students )
- Great placement opportunities
- Wide range of co-curricular activities
Cons :
- Programme is new so recruiters and big companies don’t trust it much
- It experiences bias when compared to the old PGP model.
- In case one doesn't like the programme, you can not change the stream again.
- IPM offers very limited scope
- No specialization
- Freshers are not much preferred in comparison to experienced placements.
- High fees
Still if you are not convinced that IPM is the best alone the courses you mentioned, the order for the other courses is
SSCBS> NMIMS> Christ
The only advantage the other courses have over IPM is that their model is tried and tested and open to lesser risks. Hence the scope is not that much limited.
How good is IPM at IIM Indore in terms of ROI (return of investment)?
My brother is a student of IIM Indore and according to him, the IPM program offered by the institute is not that good. Also, no other IIM offers IPM, which does say something about the course.
Compared to the course fees, the average package offered to the students is less. So the ROI for the IPM program is not that great. Here is a brief outline of the IPM program.
| Course Fee | 20 lakhs |
| Average CTC | 17 LPA |
| Major recruiters | Deloitte, BCG, Amazon, Cipla, etc. |
Also, you will not receive any proper undergraduate degree instead you get only an IGNOU degree which holds no value.
