Which one will be better, getting a BBA at IIM Indore or at Symbiosis?
Indian Institute of Management, Indore offers an Integrated Program in Management (IPM).
This is not just a general BBA program. It is an integrated program as the name already suggests. It has a very well-organized course curriculum. The level of exposure you will be getting at IIM Indore is much better than you can find at any other institute. Speaking of Symbiosis, it does not offer as much versatility and exposure as compared to IIM Indore, there will be huge differences in their course curriculum and teaching style.
The IPM program at IIM Indore has a 3-year BBA program and a 2-year MBA program. The first three years of the IPM program are being taught separately. The faculties are very knowledgeable and supportive. The remaining two years are merged with the flagship Post-graduation program.
So, IPM from IIM Indore is definitely better than a BBA from Symbiosis.
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.

Is it better to study B.Com from an average DU college like Shyam Lal, or Sri Aurobindo (Evening), or study for a BBA in IB from Amity University?
It’s better to prefer DU regular colleges given the choice. Course-wise, choosing B.Com over BBA is better, unless you are particularly interested in doing BBA. Here are some of the reasons why you should choose DU for your degree.
- Other colleges charge reasonably higher tuition fees compared to DU, especially for courses like BBA.
- If you are taking admission to a regular DU college try to engage in different activities. Join societies, clubs, etc. It will help you in the long run.
- In DU colleges, you will get enough time to do internships for work experiences. This will definitely look better on your CV.
- If you are a graduate from DU, then you will get certain advantages over Non-DU candidates, in job interviews.
- If you want to study CA, CS, etc. along with your degree, then it is better to do a B.Com. Since the B.Com syllabus will have more subjects related to CA, CS, CWA, etc. You can also easily prepare for other competitive exams, without your college timing being an issue.
Considering all these factors, doing B.Com from a regular DU college will be better than doing BBA from Amity University.
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.
