Can I do only a BBA from IIM Indore and then join IIM Ahmedabad for an MBA?
IIM Ahmedabad or any other IIM does not consider the type of college the candidate belonged to as eligibility criteria. So rest your worries and apply for MBA in your dream college even if your undergrad BBA college was a less reputed one. Regarding your undergraduate college, the only criteria are the minimum marks for appearing for the CAT exam i.e. 50%. All you need to do is get an excellent CAT score.
To get admission to any IIM, you need to focus on things like CAT score, 10th, 12th, Bachelor grade. The school and colleges from where you acquired your education do not matter at all. What matters is that your academic profile should reflect your excellent scores and involvement in extracurricular activities
So, appear for CAT, aim a 98.5+ percentile, and get admission to IIM Ahmedabad. What’s stopping you?

Should I prepare from RS Aggarwal's Quantitative Aptitude book for IPM at IIM Indore/Rohtak?
Preparing from RS Agarwal will not be of much use. Because the questions in IPM or BMS exams are of a slightly higher level and involve more than just conceptual usage, but also a little bit of trickery. These are usually practical questions rather than theoretical ones.
These types of questions are not found in the books of RS Agarwal or RD Sharma. Rather, they can be found in books designed specifically for IPM or CAT preparation. You do not need to go for RS Aggarwal or RD Sharma, but rather for books that are specifically designed for the IPM or CAT entrance exams.
Why is IMS Noida not preferred for a BBA although it holds a very good rank in India today?
In today’s age and time, the worth and reputation of a college are determined by its popularity in the digital world. People tend to conduct an online search before choosing their college. Now there are many private institutes that provide inflated or misleading data mainly for advertisement purposes. Such institutes are considered high in ranking due to fake figures. The same is the case with IMS. To look good on the internet many private institutes pay a lot of money to magazines or websites and even go to the extent of writing fake reviews
I am not saying my claim is true for all the private institutes. There are also many who have genuine reviews and good reputations because of the quality of education, management, and infrastructure. Mainly the Government institutes provide the most honest reviews as there is no money involved.
My brother is an IMS Noida pass out and from his experience, I came to know the truth that IMS is just an ordinary college which whose last concern is maintaining the quality of education. It's more like a money-making machine. The following points further support my claim
- The infrastructure is average not at par with the leading institutes
- The pedagogy is extremely poor and the faculty just provides monotonous lectures and dictates notes
- There are no cultural events or activities within campus
- The administration is average and needs a lot of improvement
What I mean is that rankings and reviews should be the only determining factor while choosing an institute. The best way is to contact alumni and clear your doubts.
Is the BBA program better at IP University or NMIMS University?
NMIMS BBA is better. The curriculum and the faculty base are top-notch. Infrastructure is way better than IP University. You will get good exposure and opportunities to form a great resume. Other than placements, NMIMS also offers support and resources to entrepreneurs. BBA has a placement rate of around 100%. The average CTC for the branch is INR 5-6 LPA. TCS, Genpact, Tresvista are the top recruiters for BBA.
Which coaching is better IMS or TIME for IPM IIM Indore?
I will seriously not recommend you to go for TIME. The first choice is PRATHAM if not then IMS.
The IIM paper is always tough and covers maximum mathematical questions. They are both difficult as well as time consuming.
Questions are never repeated in this paper. But if the study material and faculty is the same, what is actually different? The approach towards the exam and your attitude towards it.
Having a healthy approach is the key to crack this paper. You should not aim to excel, rather try to attain scores better than others.
Which one is better for a BBA: Amity University, Chandigarh, or LPU? How does the campus life vary in both?
As a former student at LPU, I would suggest you choose LPU for a BBA. LPU has a high ranking, and it is a good private university in India. It is ranked 32nd among Management colleges in India by NIRF 2023.
Additionally, there are several options to pursue specialised BBA programs with industry collaborations and international credit transfer at LPU.
The best features of campus life at LPU are:
- Entrepreneurial setting: LPU has incubation centres, capacity-building programs, mentoring facilities, etc. to encourage the students to build their own startups. The LPU website showcases hundreds of such startups by the university’s alumni.
- Part-time Jobs: At LPU you’ll be allowed to work part-time jobs alongside your studies which is a unique feature unlike any college in India.
- Career Enhance Programs: LPU undertakes several initiatives for enhancing the soft skills of students which will ultimately help in their career growth, along with language lab, personal counselling etc.
Thus, I would suggest you choose Lovely Professional University for a BBA.
How is alliance university, Bangalore for BBA?
As per my sister’s experience at the college, I would say Alliance University is the best university in India for BBA. You will learn a lot in the span of three years and will not have any dearth of knowledge. The course will prepare you for a future in business management and it is recommended that you pay attention to the practical details of it. The faculty is quite well educated and supportive.
The only drawback is the location of the campus which is in Anekal – a village area. However, from what my sister has noticed, the place is developing quite a lot. The environment around it is good and it would make up for this disadvantage.
Fee-wise, you will probably have to budget for around INR 2 lakhs for the first year. Since it is a private college, high fees are expected. The course will help you gain analytical skills, help you with decision making, technical, interpersonal as well as technological skills.
The course is so well structured that you might not end up needing an MBA degree unless you are looking for that additional certificate. Although there are better universities like Christ, Acharya, MS Ramaiah Institute of Management but Alliance University is not a bad option. While Christ University is a well-known college, a few of my friends who went there completely changed their personalities and developed an ego and attitude.
If you are considering taking admission at Alliance University, I would say go for it.
