What kind of roles do Google, and Facebook hire from management institutes like IIM Ahmedabad IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta?
Google pays a visit to the campus and offers two positions. It's either Product Management (PM) or Marketing. However, both positions may not be available every year.

How many D and F grades can one have to graduate from IIM Bangalore? What are the requirements to pass the first year?
IIM Bangalore follows a rigorous academic program, and students are expected to maintain high academic standards throughout their course. However, the institute does not have a fixed limit on the number of D and F grades a student can have to graduate.

Which program is better and has comparatively more market value and acceptance: IIM Ahmedabad AGMP, IIM Bangalore EGMP, or IIM Calcutta EPBM? All 3 are blended part-time certificate programs.
IIM Ahmedabad - AGMP and IIM Bangalore - EGMP are both excellent programs, better than IIM Calcutta - EPBM. Both classes are held twice a week. Classes were held online during the pandemic. If you are currently employed, both programs will help you advance in your current position.
The one-year AGMP program at IIM Ahmedabad is specifically designed to provide working professionals with general management skills in a global business environment. Jaro Education's classes are delivered using the synchronous Learning Technology platform.
The EGMP at IIM Bangalore brings together participants with a wide range of backgrounds, skills, and experiences, allowing for peer learning. The curriculum is overseen by the IIMB's distinguished faculty. Participants actively participate in case studies and discussions, role-playing, games, and so on.
IIM Calcutta - EPBM prepares participants to adapt to today's fast-paced technological and organizational challenges, while also evolving and adapting themselves. Once a week, the sessions are delivered via an online platform (Sunday from 3:30 - 6:30 PM). There are two 5-day campus visits.

What is the difference if I choose FMS (Delhi), JBIMS (Mumbai) or SJSOM-IIT Bombay over IIM-B, SPJIMR and other such institutes that charge hefty for MBA courses?
Choosing a B-school can be a tricky decision especially when it comes to ROI. I understand that ROI is one of the most important factors when it comes to MBA courses since funding your education with loans come with its own set of challenges. But the institutes that you have mentioned above certainly surpass the challenges since they belong to the tier 1 category.
You might come across articles and blogs stating that FMS or JBIMS do not provide a typical MBA environment but for me, that discussion does not even make sense. What is an MBA environment after all? You spent 2 years of your life at the campus and wish to land a good job. FMS, JBIMS, and IIT Bombay all three have good market reputations, they home the best candidates and charge minimal fees. So, if ROI is even a little bit of a concern for you, go for these colleges without any second thought or regret.
I am kind of an introvert. Is my life going to be tough at IIM Bangalore?
- Group Projects: Group projects are required in 90% of IIMB courses and account for a significant portion of the grade. This would be carried over into your professional career. The course will gradually acquaint you with collaborative methods and prepare you for the future. And group projects are about more than just work. It's thrilling.
- Clubs and Societies: You will be a part of groups that plan events and put on successful festivals. Even if you are not a member of a club, you can gain experience by volunteering at events.
- Case Study: Most of the subjects here are taught using a case study method, which requires you to discuss in groups to get multiple people's perspectives on each case. Believe me, case studies work best in groups, and the interactions can teach you a lot about different points of view.

My son got IIM, but he wants to achieve Allahabad or Bangalore so he want to prepare another more year. Is it a correct decision?
It is not a wise decision to waste another year preparing for IIM Allahabad or Bangalore because the profiles of students in the top 10 colleges in India are very similar. It is better to have a strong profile and work one's way up to the top management roles in the industry.
It is more important to focus on your profile and career growth rather than the college's brand value. It is not worth risking another year to secure admission to a particular college, especially when there is no guarantee of success.
You can get into a top 30 college and do decently, but I know of people from non-IIM colleges who are in top management roles in investment banking and top tech companies. Your success is not solely determined by the college's brand value.
You should not waste time and energy chasing a college's brand value and it is essential to focus on building a good profile and working towards one's career goals. An example is Indra Nooyi, who came from XLRI, which emphasizes that success is not determined by the college's brand value.
