IIIT Allahabad is not much known for its MBA program among students and recruiters. As IIIT Allahabad is an engineering institute, it is well known for its engineering programs.
If faculty and quality of education are kept aside, then pursuing an MBA degree from IIIT is not a good option. It might not help you in making a bright career option.

From the above table we can infer the following points
An additional feature of FORE that sets it further apart from IBS Hyderabad is its International Immersion Program. This program offers the kind of exposure you cannot even get at a reputed B School like IBS. You get exposed to the Global corporate world and the best part is that its fees are included in the course fees. So considering all the points mentioned above I conclude that FORE is a far better choice than IBS Hyderabad for MBA.
I know someone who graduated from PIBM in 2020. Here’s what she had to say.
Whatever the situation is, be sure that PIBM Pune will provide enough opportunities in terms of academics and placements.
One of my friends was pursuing the One Year Management Program in the US. So, I can give you the scenario of doing management from the US.
Pursuing a one-year program from the US is not a good option, no matter which university you are choosing.
Therefore, before getting into any B school first become clear what you want. If you want to work in the US, then go for a full-time MBA program from the top 20 colleges only.
Choose IIT Madras for an MBA if you want lower fees and a smaller batch size. However, if you want to be a part of a community that is rich in experience, with a rigorous curriculum and a reputable college, choose IIM Kashipur.
After a few years, people will notice the amount of effort you put in to establish yourself in a competitive corporate environment, better in an IIM than an IIT Madras. You will be sorry that you did not attend an IIM when you had the opportunity. IIMs have a stellar reputation in the MBA field, and there is a reason for this.
You must always choose IIM Kashipur over IIT Madras.
Joining an IIM solely to get placed at a high-paying job is not the right perspective. A working professional should pursue an MBA to enhance his skills and acquire extra knowledge. You should be looking for the following in an MBA
Only if you value these aspects can IIM Trichy benefit you in any way. But if you focus just on ROI, it’s high time you target IIM A B and C only.
Honestly speaking, a career in investment banking should not be considered by the new IIMs. It’s a too ambitious profile to match the relatively new curriculum of these IIMs. Even if you are in a top B School, you will have to remain among the top students to get placed for a front-end role. One can still get roles in corporate & business finance but getting roles in Investment Banking is rather difficult.
Yet if you are not choosing an older IIM and want to choose a newer one, IIM Trichy is the best among them. The order is
IIM Trichy > IIM Udaipur > IIM Ranchi
There are many B Schools apart from IIMs that offer great Investment Banking roles. These include SPJIMR, JBIMS Mumbai, IIFT, and XLRI.
Getting into top B-schools depends on your profile and academic grades as it plays a major role in the marking system in PI. The scores mentioned in the question are good enough and you have a good chance of getting into IIMs, XLRI, FMS, and IIFT.
Moreover, if you are aiming for the top B-schools of the country stop restraining yourself with the thought of what's the minimum percentile. Aim for the full score and try to maximize as much as possible.
Try not to follow the cycle of multiple attempts and increasing a little percentile over the past one just to get in a B-school of your choice. Just Give it one shot but make it your best.
Going by the academics you mentioned, I'd say there's nothing that you can do about it now so stop worrying and focus on your preps. Just give you the best in your attempt and make sure you convert the calls which will eventually land you up in one of the finest top B-schools.
One of my friends studies at Jain University. According to him, Finance and Marketing are the best. The college is very well known for both specializations. Placements records and current market trends are also currently on these two specializations so go with it.
Categories | MBA at Jain University |
Course Fee | 9.7 lakh |
Highest CTC | 21-25 LPA |
Average CTC | 12 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Nestle, Tanishq, Asian Paints, CitiBank, etc. |
Moreover, I would like to say that all the fields are good at Jain University. It all depends on your interest and choice of field in which you want to build your career path.
Specializations such as Finance, Marketing, and Human Resource are equally good options. If you are determined to pursue your career in any of the fields you will definitely land in a good place.
