While the first year of business school can certainly be challenging, it is also a unique and rewarding experience. Business schools provide a diverse and dynamic learning environment, with opportunities to learn from both experienced faculty and peers from a range of backgrounds and industries.

In addition to gaining knowledge and technical skills, students also have the opportunity to develop important soft skills such as communication, collaboration, and critical thinking.

Ultimately, the first year of business school sets the foundation for a successful and fulfilling career and is an experience that should not be missed.

Can you give a brief description of IIM Sambalpur (pros/cons, campus life, placement, hostel life, faculty, facilities, and anything else that you can add on)?

RD
Ridhhi Dogra Posted On : February 10th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Sambalpur

In the middle of picturesque hilltops in Odisha, IIM Sambalpur is situated. Here, you can wake up to beautiful sunshine and humid weather every morning, which will give you energy. However, this morning brings with it a rush to finish eating breakfast and get to the academic block in time for your classes.

The Academic block is a short walk from the Hostel blocks. Our classrooms are fully equipped with air conditioning, comfortable seating, and modern equipment. We have experienced faculty from a variety of backgrounds, both in-house and visiting institutes such as IIM A, B, C, XLRI, and others.

After classes, your day spins around in all directions. In the evening, you typically attend meetings and enjoyable events from various clubs and committees that are put on by students. If you don't have anything like that, you can go out with your friends to the Hirakud dam, Right dyke, or take a long drive all the way to the main city for fun. You can also participate in those based on your interests, hobbies, or preferences for volunteer work.

Following dinner, some students participate in outdoor sports such as badminton, cricket, football, and so on, or indoor sports such as chess and table tennis, or watch television in the common room. You meet your academic groups, project groups, and so on to do the work, which usually takes most of the nights in the hostel block's discussion areas.

However, these moments of shared work always strengthen batchmates' bonds. Some of the pros and cons are mentioned below:

Pros:

  • IIM Sambalpur is located close to a large number of big industries, providing opportunities for real-life experiential learning for students.
  • The Innovation and Incubation Cell (IIC) of IIM Sambalpur helps in the promotion of startup development and has recently partnered with Flipkart to support small weavers and artisans.
  • As a new IIM, students have the opportunity to witness the development of the institute from its core.
  • IIM Sambalpur has consistently been ranked 2nd amongst the new IIMs and holds a position among the Top 30 in the overall MBA Universe Ranking 2022.
  • The institute follows a Flipped Classroom methodology, which is a unique concept aimed at promoting overall development both inside and outside of the classroom.
  • IIM Sambalpur has the highest gender diversity among all other 3rd generation IIMs.
  • The location of the institute is away from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan areas, providing a peaceful and calm environment amidst the rush of MBA life.
  • The IIM tag and connections to IIM alumni in the IIM community can provide valuable networking opportunities.

Cons:

  • As a 3rd generation IIM, the institute is relatively new and may take some time to fully develop.
  • The institute follows a schedule with working days on Saturday and Sunday, which may not be suitable for all students.
  • Students may be compared to graduates of older and more established IIMs, which may be an unnecessary source of stress.

How is your review of Big Data Analytics from IIM Lucknow?

RT
Rajat Tokas Posted On : January 16th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Lucknow

It is true that IIM Lucknow, like many other premier business schools in India, does not have a specific focus on Big Data Analytics. However, it is important to note that this does not necessarily mean that there is no association between IIM Lucknow and Big Data Analytics.

While it is true that IIMs primarily focuses on providing students with a strong foundation in managerial skills, the reality is that the business world is constantly evolving, and new technologies and trends are emerging all the time. Big Data Analytics is one such trend that has gained significant prominence in recent years, and it is a skill that is becoming increasingly important for managers to possess.

It is also worth noting that while IIMs may not have specific courses or programs dedicated to Big Data Analytics, they do offer IT specialization options. These programs may not specifically cover big data, but they do provide students with a solid foundation in IT and technology, which can be beneficial when it comes to understanding and working with big data.

Furthermore, it is not entirely accurate to say that any business school will teach you that having a solid understanding of Excel is all you need. While Excel is an important tool for data analysis and management, it is not the only tool or skill required for working with big data. In fact, big data analytics typically involves working with large sets of data that are too complex to be handled by Excel and requires specialized software and tools such as Hadoop, Spark, and Python.

In conclusion, while IIM Lucknow and other IIMs may not have a specific focus on big data analytics, this does not mean that they do not provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to work with it. The management skills taught in these institutes along with IT and technology specialization options can be a good foundation to understand and work with it. Additionally, it is a rapidly evolving field and it's important for students to keep updating their skills and knowledge.

I have 2 years of work experience and I have got admission to IBS Hyderabad. Should I join? Is it good?

SL
Saija Luthra Posted On : February 24th, 2023
Studied at IBS Hyderabad

To make an informed decision, you need to analyze your future prospects. Consider where you see yourself two years from now, or, if money is a primary concern for you, estimate how much you will earn in two years.

The average package offered by IBS Hyderabad is 6 lakhs. However, if you have a couple of years of experience and are in the top 10th percentile of your batch, there is a good chance you could earn 7-8 lakhs. In this case, enrolling in IBS Hyderabad would be a viable option if you don't see yourself earning a similar salary within two years.

Furthermore, you should evaluate your ability to gain admission to a better business school such as an IIM. If you have the potential to do so, it would be a wise decision to invest your efforts into pursuing this opportunity. However, if you really believe that you are not in that league, enrolling in IBS Hyderabad would still be a viable option, as discussed in the second paragraph.

Is mechanical and electronics in NIT Jalandhar as good as CS in the same college?

S
Sagardeep Posted On : December 19th, 2022
Studied at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar ( NITJ )

Mechanical in NIT Jalandhar: 

4-5 senior faculty members are excellent. Every ad-hock is very poor and useful in any way. Undergraduate research opportunities are limited, but you can participate in mechanical teams and learn a lot at international-level competitions and race events, or you can start your own. Self-knowledge is the only source of knowledge. If you want, you can get the most out of your knowledge and experience by leaving here. In terms of numbers, placement is excellent. For a long time, the campus has been dominated by PSUs and automobile companies. This includes excellent companies involved in the core design, the power sector, and the energy sector. They don't go there very often, but the overall placement is excellent.

CSE: Students have good grades and get good jobs as a result of the market boom. Some students are very good learners who work hard for their studies and knowledge, but this type of student is between the ages of 8 and 10. The remaining 80 people dance, sing, and participate in other activities.

ECE: Faculty members are friendly and helpful. Students are exceptional. Placements are good, and some students study the entire CSE curriculum to get the job. If you want to come here, you must choose with your mind, consider all aspects, and think wisely.

How is MSU Baroda for an MSc in Microbiology?

RB
Rahul Bisht Posted On : December 31st, 2022
M.Sc in Microbiology, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda (Graduated 1966)

Microbiology is a science that is used in many fields; therefore, it is essential to be a lifelong learner with an open mind in order to accept all points of view, analyze them, and then reach an intelligent conclusion, which must also be understood as dynamic. This perspective on life as a dynamic situation in which one grows and dies every second is an important life lesson. MSU's heart is its faculty. They are highly qualified, knowledgeable, and helpful. Some faculty members are fantastic, while others are not. Presentations and interactive sessions are also available. They have significant industrial exposure but are highly valued in the research field.

The course curriculum is designed in such a way that all B.Sc students in life sciences (zoology, botany, and chemistry) can pursue the Master's course. It covers the majority of the topics required for a master's degree, beginning with general microbiology and progressing to immunology and bioinformatics.

How good is the Executive Program In Financial Risk Investment Management EPFRIM at IIM Calcutta?

RA
Ridhima Airi Posted On : December 19th, 2022
Management Consultant | Footballer | Quizzer | IIT-Delhi Alumnus

Any course offered by an institute like IIM Calcutta is guaranteed to be of the highest quality and have significant industry relevance. Instead of this course, it is recommended that you take the CAT and then enroll in the flagship PGDM program at IIM Calcutta. That would be entirely consistent with your desire to work in investment banking. 

The recent financial crisis was largely caused by managers' inability to fully comprehend and manage the operational risks of the new generation of derivatives. Future finance managers, it is believed, must be fully equipped with the mathematical and conceptual theories, as well as best practices, that go into the creation and management of such innovative products.
The IIMC faculty combines academic excellence with top management industry experience. IIMC also hires international faculty from top business schools. The IIMC certification and alumni network help participants advance in their careers. The program is only for working professionals, and there will be no campus placement after this course.

AJ
Arshit Jain Posted On : January 11th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Jammu (Graduated 2019)

You should pursue an MBA at IIM Jammu. Your decision in this case should be influenced by the IIM's strong reputation for quality and the respect you receive from those around you. The following are the reasons behind the same:

  • Money is always a motivator for candidates to pursue their dreams, allowing them to dream bigger. In both institutes, the package is nearly identical. It can vary, but if you are an intelligent candidate in both institutes, you can safely assume more than the 10LPA package.
  • If not for a better package, it could be for learning business models, getting structured thought processes, starting your own business, or making the right business connections.
  • IIM Jammu has strong ties with all HR professionals in the industry. It holds a variety of events at the institute on a regular basis. Students may participate in community activities. 
  • It has also partnered with Entrepreneurship cells and top business people in J&K to connect you with the right people. You have a fantastic library, a fantastic curriculum, and, of course, a fantastic environment in which to feel happy and positively imbibe what you are taught and experienced into your brain and heart.

Without a doubt, IIM Jammu is a perfect platform for one to enjoy and live in a very peaceful and aesthetic place, with nice people around you, while maintaining professionalism.
