Should I join NMIMS Mumbai (MBA core) or wait for another year
Waiting for another year and dropping NMIMS is only justifiable if you are certain to get into the top 5 like IIM ABC and FMS. Otherwise forgoing this opportunity might not be a wise decision mainly because
- Your work experience of 22 months is the right time to do an MBA
- CAT is extremely certain. You might have been able to make it into NMIMS, but there is no guarantee you will be able to clear CAT next year again
- NMIMS has a 100% placement percentage so you will definitely end up with a good package
- The brand name is more than enough to add to your CV
Moreover, if you are willing to enter the Marketing sector, it’s still not late as FMCG don’t prefer candidates with much work experience. But if you are interested in Strategic Management, you can wait for a year and target the top 5 B Schools.
So the end note is, forgo the offer if you are certain you can make it into the top 5 else grab this opportunity.

Which is better between symbiosis and ICFAI for distance learning MBA?
Symbiosis offers a PGDBA degree and ICFAI offers an MBA degree after two years of correspondence course.
The fee structure of both the institutes is the same so you should opt for ICFAI as the degree of MBA is more valuable than PGDBA. When it comes to job opportunities, the people with MBA degrees are given priority by the MNC’s. So, from the job point of view, pursuing MBA from ICFAI is more beneficial.
ICFAI gives placement to the one opting for distance learning so you need not worry about the placements in ICFAI. Also, it is unique as it provides certificates after every semester.
- 1st Semester- Business Basics Certificate
- 2nd Semester- Diploma Certificate
- 3rd Semester- Post Graduation Certificate
- 4th Semester- MBA degree
So, between Symbiosis and ICFAI, ICFAI is definitely the better choice.
Which college should I choose between IIT Roorkee and IIM Sirmaur for MBA?
I don’t even need to ponder over this question for a long time. The answer is very simple. You should choose IIT Roorkee over IIM Sirmaur for MBA. The reason being its new establishment. People don’t care if you are an IIM student unless you belong to the older ones. The new IIMs are yet to make a mark in the industry especially the likes of IIM Jammu and Sirmaur.
IIT Roorkee on the other hand is very good at placements and peer learning. Given the current situation of both institutes, IIT Roorkee is definitely the better option. The IIM tag offered by Sirmaur lacks credibility and even if it will be beneficial, it will be after some years and not right away.
Is it wise to go for an MBA in IIT Delhi, leaving PGDIM from NITIE? I am interested in marketing management.
No, it is not wise to go for an MBA in IIT Delhi, leaving PGDIM from NITIE. While both institutes offer management programs, here are some reasons why you should consider NITIE instead of IIT Delhi:
- Degree in General Management: NITIE offers a degree in general management, which means that you'll get a well-rounded education and exposure to different areas of management. While the institute has a major focus on supply chain management and operations, they also offer electives in finance and marketing.
- Premier B School: NITIE ranks as one of the premier B schools in India and has a reputation for producing successful managers and leaders across different sectors. This can give you an advantage in the long run when it comes to career growth and opportunities.
- Alumni Base: NITIE has a huge alumni base across different industries and sectors, including consulting, marketing, and supply chain management/operations. This can provide you with valuable connections and networking opportunities, which can help you advance your career.
- Location: NITIE is located in Mumbai, which is the financial capital of India. This means that you'll have access to a wide range of job opportunities and industries, especially in the marketing field.
On the other hand, IIT Delhi School of Management primarily focuses on engineering, and its alumni base in the corporate sector may not be as strong as NITIE's. In conclusion, while IIT Delhi may be a good option for certain management programs, NITIE's reputation, alumni base, and location make it a better choice for marketing management.

Should I get into an MBA at Sydenham or try for an MSc. in Finance at JBIMS?
Anyone but you can decide what’s best for you. Only you can make an informed decision based on your expectations and ability to take risks. However, I will recommend you opt MSc in Finance if you are sure about your career in the Finance sector and are ready for Finance roles. In case you are not very sure, try contacting some seniors from the institute or doing some research on LinkedIn. If even after researching your gut is not very sure about Finance then opt for a core MBA only.
By taking MBA, you can test your inclinations throughout the first year and find out if Finance is really your cup of tea rather than joining an MSc and regretting it later. A slight comparison between the 2 courses is given below
Brand: Brand-wise MBA/PGDM of Sydenham is a much older and bigger name in comparison to the MSc Finance of JBIMS.
Scope: The MSc in Finance at JBIMS has a much greater scope than MBA from Sydenham.
At JBIMS, both MMS and MSc Finance offer similar opportunities. Although many students exclusively target MSc. In finance, there tends to be an obvious preference for MMS. So in the near future either MSc Finance could be a separate course from MMS or even be discontinued. Not much can be said about this. So the only factor you should consider while deciding is your own inclinations.
