I got a call from IMT Ghaziabad for DCP. Is it good and are there any chances of it getting upgraded? Should I go for GIM?
IMT Ghaziabad DCP program is one of the best and most coveted among its students. My brother is currently a first-year student of the same and has a lot to say about the course through his experience. He joined the program only after in-depth research. What attracted him the most was the location of the program, Dubai, which is the hub of globalization. Some major highlights of the course are
- The curriculum is similar to that of the IMT Ghaziabad PGDM program but the additional international exposure is the cherry on the top.
- The program is taught by an elite faculty base comprising globally recognized professors. The foreign professors mainly hailing from France, the US, Slovenia, UK offer a broader insight into the international management aspects
- Right after the end of the First Term you are allotted Company Projects. You have to work in accordance with Dubai culture and will learn a lot about the field you are entering. You can do more than one such project also as that will broaden your network and knowledge.
- The marketing enthusiasts get to experience the splendid GITEX (Gulf Info Tech Exhibition). It’s an electronics trade show at the Dubai World Trade Centre that is held twice a year. It is a unique opportunity to gain Sales and Marketing experience.
- Recently the DCP students have made the name of the institution through international companies. Some major achievements include - 4 teams of DCP made it to the finals of the Global Management Challenge with 6 other UAE teams and one DCP team was 4th in the region; The DCP team under the mentorship of Dr. Zalzala won the Google Online Marketing Challenge (GOMC) in the Middle East and Africa.
- The internship and placement scenario is a bit confusing because in Dubai internships start in January whereas in India internships begin in August.
- The placements take place in India itself and DCP students are treated at par with the regular students. Despite this many companies offer better offers to DCP students mainly because of their widely gained exposure.
My brother's experience was amazing and he recommends it to anyone who wants to explore outside the box.
What is your review of IPM course at IIM Indore?
Every coin has two sides. Similarly, every college has its pros and cons. My review of the IPM course will list the pros and cons of IIM Indore and its IPM course. Fortunately, the pros overshadow the cons to a large extent
Pros
- Early admission - The eligibility criteria of the IPM program allows students who have passed out of class XII/Higher Secondary or equivalent from schools across India to apply. So even a 12th pass-out gets the opportunity to get into IIM.
- Comprehensive Curriculum - The uniqueness of the curriculum lies in the fact that it teaches many areas and not just management. The course is coveted by many due to its high rigor and worth.
- Brand name - The IIM tag can be attached to an individual's profile right after the 12th without having to do a separate undergraduate course in any other field of study.
- Placements - The placement scenarios are much better than that of engineering and law colleges. Even as a fresher you land a job of around INR 12-15 LPA. Whereas engineering students start their careers with nothing more than 3-7 LPA.
- Division of courses - 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.
In addition, there are humanities, literature, and skill-building courses, along with an option to pursue a foreign language. The IPM also has a group of subjects called ‘bridge courses’. They comprise courses related to information technology, intellectual property rights, or introduction to corporate law.
Cons
- High fee structure - The biggest con of any IIM is its extremely high fees. The IPM is one of the most expensive graduation courses. Its fee is INR 500000 per year for the first 3 years. Approximately the total cost of this program is INR 3500000.
- Limited Scope - The program offers very little future scope. This is because even if you decide to leave after 3 years, you will want to pursue Management itself. But leaving after spending so much on graduation is not easy. Also, people usually leave if they get a call from a better IIM. In that case, why did you even pursue graduation at such a high cost?
- No specialization - The IPM course offers no specialization in Graduation.
Choose wisely after weighing the pros and cons according to your convenience and interests

As a student of IIT Bhubaneswar, I can assure you that our institution is a good choice for Mechanical Engineering. You’ll be provided with good research facilities, labs, and an experienced faculty.
What are the merits and demerits of the integrated 5-year BBA+MBA that is being offered by IIM Indore?
IIM Indore has more merits than demerits.
Merits
- Excellent exposure offered by IIM Indore
- The mixed crowd from across the country will become great learning and developing network opportunities.
- The assistance is provided by the top-notch faculty who are not only experienced but also humble.
- The brand name of IIM is irresistible and can open hundreds of doors of opportunity just at the age of 23.
- Indore is a well-connected and developing city with improved job opportunities and industrial development over the years.
The only disadvantage that IIM Indore has or that of any other IIM is the high fees. But if you compare it with the high package you will be offered once you complete the course the fees are really worth it.
What would be the better option between BITS Pilani (Pilani Campus) Dual degree or IIIT Delhi ECE?
When it comes to ECE, I would always suggest you to choose BITS Pilani. It is the top private college in India for pursuing engineering. It is even better than some of the new IITS, NITS and IIITs. Though IIIT Delhi is also a good choice for pursuing ECE, according to me, BITS Pilani will always be a superior choice.
The course curriculum at BITS Pilani has been designed to impart both theoretical and practical knowledge to the students. The ECE department of BITS Pilani is one of the oldest and most reputed. The faculty is well experienced and helpful. They will guide you through your journey of four years and encourage you to pursue your passions. You will get to design new projects on your own which will give you confidence when you join the workforce. Top companies recruit students from our college and if you are hardworking, you’ll become one of them. All the best!
Should I opt for CA or IPM from IIM?
You cannot make such a binary comparison between IPM and CA.
- IPM:
You will learn topics from a variety of fields in this program, including math, science, economics, sociology, psychology, law, accountancy, and the arts. The PGDM curriculum that follows teaches you the fundamentals of finance, marketing, human resources, operations, information technology, etc., and prepares you to specialize in any subject of your choice. Regardless of your academic performance, you will be able to spend 5 years at an IIM after graduation. This strengthens your character in a way that is impossible in CA, where you must make all of your own preparations. You'll be able to interact with the best minds in the nation all at once thanks to it. Early exposure to cultural differences is crucial for the development of your personality and professionalism. The fact that IPM students receive the same treatment as PGDM students place a great deal of responsibility on them.
- CA:
CA is a professional program that develops your accounting skills and offers competitive pay. However, doing so necessitates independent study, which calls for strong self-discipline. It lacks the social learning component, which must be made up for in another way.
You should choose IPM and pursue CFA, actuarial, or another type of certification intermittently. Many people have chosen to do this, and the outcomes have been very positive; they have been hired by prestigious financial institutions like JPMC, DE Shaw, Nomura, etc.
Is MSU Baroda good for a BBA, or should I go for other options?
Your decision actually depends on the fact if you want to pursue BBA or you want to study at MSU. This is because if your sole interest is in BBA then trust me there are many better colleges for it. But if you are adamant about studying at MSU, then it’s better you search for your own interests.
I will recommend you take the aptitude test which is free in the psychology department. This test will let you decide what to study. Don’t be a part of the herd and pursue what others are pursuing. Rather follow your own interest that you will not regret later.
For a Master’s of Computer Applications (MCA), is NMIMS, Mumbai better or Christ University, Bangalore?
Background does not matter much. It is a subjective question as it depends on many factors and the factors may or may not align with one’s goals and preferences. For MCA Christ has an edge over NMIMS. If you are okay with some strict rules and dress codes then for sure Christ is a better choice.
