Is IMS Noida good for an MBA?
IMS Noida is a decent option for pursuing an MBA. It offers good salary packages to students. Each year around 95 percent of students get placed. The recent highlights of IMS Noida placement show the average CTC to be INR 3 LPA. Infosys, Amazon, etc. are some of the major recruiters to take part in the placement drive.
The institute follows an industry-relevant course curriculum. The faculties are well-experienced and supportive.
How is the campus life of MBA colleges (for eg. JBIMS, NMIMS, NITIE) in Mumbai as compared to other cities?
Out of all the colleges, only NITIE offers a fully-fledged campus life.
- NMIMS has a ten-floor building in a posh area of Mumbai. The institute also has a small hostel for their students in Mukesh Patel but it is not good. Though the girl’s hostel is decent. Overall, you won’t be able to enjoy the flavors of campus life like in IIMs or other colleges such as SIBM.
- JBIMS just has a small building that is not well developed and looks like an old government college building in the posh area of Mumbai, i.e. Church gate Nariman point. JBIMS offers hostel facilities to their students in the hostels of University of Mumbai. But these hostel accommodations are only given to students from outside of Mumbai.
- NITIE has a well-developed campus in the Powai area. The campus is surrounded by Vidya Vihar and Powai lake from the west side and the IIT B campus from the east side.
If you wish to study in Mumbai then you will definitely miss campus life except at SJSOM and NITIE.
Is it worth doing MBA program in CMS NALSAR?
One of my friends graduated from CMS Nalsar University and here is her insight on the MBA program. According to her, here are some of the reasons why you should consider CMS NALSAR for your MBA.
- You will have good exposure. There is a mandate of 2 live projects and 1 internship.
- There is a lot of focus on the implementation of practical knowledge. For example, it has an MoU with T-Hub. This will give you a chance to intern at start-ups and get a sneak peek into the start-up world.
- As a student of CMS NALSAR, you will get to learn the techniques of investor pitching and branding. CMS completely changes your persona.
- If you are looking primarily at placements with fancy salaries or established firms, you will be a little disappointed. The institute still needs a little time to mature. According to the recent placement highlights the highest and average CTC offered to the MBA students at CMS were 10 LPA and 5 LPA respectively. Overall, if you are self-motivated and not affected by the white noise, you can make the most of your time there.
Doing an MBA from a Law school can be daunting, as it is a road less taken. But my friend swears it was the best decision she has made so far.
Which one is better for pursuing an MBA: IBS Hyderabad or IIM Sambalpur?
First of all, it’s wrong to compare IIM Sambalpur with a below-average institution like IBS Hyderabad. IIM Sambalpur might be a new IIM but it is still among the tier 3 colleges whereas IBS Hyderabad is nowhere near.
My friend is currently pursuing an MBA from IIM Sambalpur and has listed the following pros and cons of the institute
Pros
- Under the mentorship of IIM Indore, IIM Sambalpur is slowly making its mark in the IIM family. It welcomes visiting faculties from IIM Indore which also shares the research work and other material with Sambalpur
- IIM Sambalpur might soon become an educational center as it hosts one of the oldest engineering colleges of the state which is on its way to becoming an IIEST, a very reputed government medical college and a couple of other well-known government universities.
- The airstrip near the city might soon become an airport in the near future thereby enhancing connectivity.
- Although it functions from a leased campus, the infrastructure is top notch
Cons
- It does not have its own campus and functions from leased premises
- The campus is situated 20 km away from the city and the nearest railway station in a lowly private engineering college.
- The placement is nowhere near the IIM standards
- Weak alumni base due to recent establishment
- The faculties are mediocrely experienced
- The lack of connectivity is a major reason for poor placements. The nearest functional airport is in Bhubaneswar, 350 km away.
All in all IIM Sambalpur is a decent choice if you are passionate about the IIM tag only and have limited options. Some years down the line it might improve in brand value as well. So go for it if it’s the tag you are after but go for ISB if you want a better teaching experience.
Is it true that MBA marketing freshers are offered sales jobs? Even if they are from JBIMS or SIMSREE?
This is true for almost all the B Schools. Many B Schools offer sales jobs to MBA Marketing freshers even if they are from JBIMS or SIMSREE. There are some logical reasons behind this are as follows:
- You need to know the basics to understand the higher level of knowledge
- Eventually, you will be responsible for managing large teams. So with a sales job, you are familiarized with handling teams that do core sales.
- The exposure connects you with various people in the hierarchy
- Your ultimate role in life will be a salesperson as you will be seeking your idea to go Manager or a business idea to your CEO, so it’s better to enter early in the field and grasp the basics.
The requirement of experience depends solely on the company you are applying to. But I will personally suggest you be flexible and open to all profiles rather than targeting a single one.
Which college is good for an MBA with 44 months of experience, K. J. Somaiya or IMT Ghaziabad?
KJ Somaiya is definitely a better option of the two. My cousin is a KJ Somaiya alumni and he claims the college to be one of the best in the country
- KJ. Somaiya has a location advantage over IMT Ghaziabad
- It boasts of a splendid infrastructure world-class amenities
- You can expect a high ROI from this college
- It has seen an improvement in its rankings and now its NIRF ranking is 71st
- The placement scenario has changed for the better. The placement percentage this year was 93%, the highest CTC stood at Rs.22.50 LPA and the average salary stood at Rs.12.23 LPA
Judging from these points one can easily say that KJ Somaiya is a better option than IMT Ghaziabad. Also if you have an excellent resume and a strong profile you can also go for IIMs or other top B Schools.

Which is best among NITIE Mumbai, SIBM Pune, and IIM Rohtak for MBA?
In terms of placement, NITIE is the best followed by SIBM Pune, and finally IIM Rohtak. In terms of brand value, IIM Rohtak comes first, followed by NITIE and then SIBM.
Depending on whether you want the IIM tag, you should attend NITIE, SIBM Pune, or IIM Rohtak for Operations. NITIE has a firm grasp on operations and is well-known for it. Furthermore, the Mumbai location is advantageous. If you want to pursue a career in marketing, SIBM Pune should be your first choice.
IIM Rohtak will be considered after these two colleges because it is a relatively new brand that, like the other IIMs, will take time to establish itself.
Is part time MBA from NMIMS worth after 4 years of experience in software industry?
A part-time MBA does not hold as much value as a full-time MBA does. One of my friends with an Executive MBA degree said it can only be a helping hand to support growth in your existing company or similar roles. It cannot provide much exposure. It will help you grow in the company you are already in.
For instance, if you similarly want to be promoted to a TL role or Mid-level managerial role in the same field, a part-time MBA can provide an edge, given the competitiveness, and can partly also assist in job role changes in the same organization.
However, in the case of a complete career shift, a part-time MBA can be a demanding approach. You will have to evidently prove your best side in the competition.
It is suggested that you take into account your long-term goals, before arriving at any conclusion. That translates, a part-time MBA can probably provide a short-term career uplift, while simultaneously an executive or full-time MBA program can most definitely boost your future career exposure and lift you to better profiles with ease.
How is Bangalore university for mba?
The MBA program offered by Bangalore University is average at best. The academics are decent. But the university doesn’t ensure 100% placement and hence a good return on investment. Bangalore University placements have an average package of around INR 5 LPA.
There are many better MBA colleges available in Hyderabad, such as NMIMS, Ashoka School of Business, IMT, etc. Hyderabad colleges also offer better placement opportunities due to the locational advantages.
