Which college is better suited for a 3-year work experience engineer between NMIMS Mumbai and IIM Trichy/Udaipur?

AR

Firstly let me clarify something. The 3-year work experience is not a suitable deciding factor for choosing a college. You should decide on a college on the basis of these parameters

  • Placements 
  • Brand value
  • Batch-size
  • Alumni Network 
  • Location
  • ROI

Now I will further compare the pros and cons of NMIMS and newer IIMs

Pros

NMIMS

  1. Has a better location than Trichy or Udaipur 
  2. Has a stronger alumni base
  3. Is good for a career in Finance

New IIMs

  1. The IIM tag in itself is a major advantage 
  2. The new IIMs are growing at a good speed
  3. The Batch-size is smaller than NMIMS

Cons

NMIMS

  1. High fees
  2. Large batch-size
  3. Deteriorating brand value
  4. Average placement opportunities 

New IIMs 

  1. Weak alumni network 
  2. A slight location disadvantage when compared to NMIMS

Now it’s your job to analyze which pros are more important for you to avail and which cons can be a major hindrance in your career.

How do the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, and XIMB measure up to the established ones of XLRI, TISS, MDI and SCMHRD?

AA
Apoorv Ashutosh Posted On : January 11th, 2023
Former PhD Candidate at Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (2017–2020)

The simple answer to your question is no, the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, or XIMB are not at par with the established ones XLRI, TISS, MDI, and SCMHRD. The established programs especially that of XLRI are the epitome of HR programs. They cannot be compared to the new ones at any given level or parameter.

  • Faculty: The professors of XLRI are renowned throughout the industry for their competency. They specialize in almost every domain one can think of be it Law, Competency Modeling, Compensation, or Performance Management.
  • Peers: It’s the cream students who get the opportunity to get into a prestigious college like XLRI. You can see tough competition between the finest students at college. Every individual has a valuable opinion and stands to contradict others. Their thinking pattern is broad and given a case study, they look at all angles from accounting to finance to laws while proposing the solution. The situation at TISS is also quite similar.

Now one can say that the curriculum can be replicated and learned faculty can be sought to match the quality of the HR program at these institutes. But the truth is faculty and curriculum are the main but not the only factors that determine an institute's worth. Its own culture, ethics, and background have a lot to do with the programs it offers.

So one cannot match XLRIs programs no matter how much they try.

If you have to join one: NMIMS MUMBAI or IIM ROHTAK, which one would you join and why?

PO
Pancham Oza Posted On : January 10th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (Graduated 2022)

Given the two chances, I will definitely join IIM Rohtak over NMIMS anytime. The reasons for my choice are

Campus: The newly made campus of IIM Rohtak stretches over 150 acres and is loaded with top-notch facilities. Although some might consider its location at a disadvantage to NMIMS, in reality, it is just an hour's drive away from Delhi.

Placements: IIM Rohtak has an upper hand in placement opportunities as well.

Particulars 

IIM Rohtak 

NMIMS

Average CTC

INR 16.06 LPA

INR 23.07 LPA

Highest CTC

INR 32.00 LPA

INR 57.65 LPA

Total Recruiters 

80+

40+

Pedagogy: You can never compare the pedagogy of an IIM with any other B School. It’s very rigorous and the curriculum does not focus on academics, but also on exposure. This exposure is brought by events like TEDx and Marathon where students learn how to manage. Guest faculties from other IIMs, institutes like MDI, and senior management from top firms visit the campus for industry exposure. 

Fees: IIM Rohtak- ?9.9 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)NMIMS- ?11.95 Lakhs (1st Year Fees). Despite being an IIM, Rohtaks fees are lesser than NMIMS.

Peer Learning: The peers are some of the most talented people you will ever come across. They have gotten into IIM with a percentile of more than 99.5. Moreover, there is a healthy blend of freshers and experienced students to promote effective peer learning. Most activities are conducted group-wise and each group comprises students from different backgrounds.

I hope these reasons might have cleared all the remaining doubts you had.

Considering that my profile is: 10th- 89.2 12th- 74.2 Grad. (Engg)- 8.5 PG- 8.0, which one is better: the NMIMS Mumbai, the IIM Rohtak, the IIM Raipur, the IIM Ranchi, the IIM Trichy, the IIM Udaipur

The aspects of judging a college’s worth depend on the following factors

  • legacy
  • alumni experience 
  • perception among peers
  • quality of students
  • faculty
  • institute culture
  • events and activities
  • pedagogy 
  • Summer and final placement opportunities

NMIMS renders you short-term advantages but IIMs offer many long term advantages. Even the faculty is better at IIMs than at NMIMS. But being a new institute, it lacks an alumni base. Any far-sighted person can definitely say that your IIM tag will help you in the long run.

Now based on your list, the order is

IIM Udaipur>IIM Ranchi>IIM Trichy>IIM Rohtak> IIM Raipur>IIM Kashipur

Will it be an absolutely horrible decision to choose IIM Kashipur over NMIMS Mumbai just for the IIM tag?

SB
Shoumik Bose Posted On : January 5th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Sri City (IIITS)

Rather than judging your decision, I will list down some merits of both colleges and leave the rest for you to choose from.

Reasons why one should choose IIM Kashipur over NMIMS:

  • Smaller Batch-size: IIM Kashipur has a relatively smaller batch size than NMIMS. This means the placement opportunities will be better and attention given to each student will be more.
  • Lower fees: Mumbai fees are around 21 lakhs for two years. Also, it does not include the accommodation and food expenses that a person will have in the two years. The minimum expenses in a city like Mumbai will stand at 20000. The total fee is much higher than IIM Kashipur ( INR 1730000).
  • Specializes in Operations: The leading domain of IIM Kashipur is operations whereas NMIMS has limited scope for the same.

Reasons why one should join NMIMS:

  • Better opportunities in terms of companies, packages, and roles than any other new IIM 
  • Better location than the new IIMs
  • Strong alumni base

So if you are confident that you can remain among the top 200 go for NMIMS, else IIM Kashipur it is.

Which course is the best? IIM Indore's IPM, BFIA / BMS at SSCBS, DU; BSc Fin. at NMIMS or BBA at Christ?

AS
Anusha Soni Posted On : January 4th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Indore (Graduated 2021)

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.
