How do I decide among IIT Madras and IIM Nagpur for an MBA?
If you ask me, I would suggest you choose IIT Madras to pursue an MBA as compared to IIM Nagpur for an MBA.
- IIT Madras is a prestigious institute with a rich culture.
- It has been consistently named as one of the top institutes in India for pursuing an MBA.
- In 2023, it was ranked 17th in the NIRF ranking.
- The institute has well-designed curriculums that are focused on meeting the industry requirements.
- The management department has praise-worthy placement records with the majority of students grabbing dream placement offers.
- The highest placement as recorded this year is INR 21.89 LPA and INR 16.93 LPA is the average LPA.
- The top recruiters visit this institute during the placement season. Some of them are Dell, Accenture, P&G, Standard Chartered, etc.
After a B.Tech from an IIT, should one go for an MBA from IIT Bombay / Delhi or from newer IIMs like Kozhikode or Ranchi?
The answer to your question is objectively based solely on your inclinations. IITs might offer a better ROI than IIMs. But had I been in your place I would have gone for the newer IIMs like Kozhikode or IIM Ranchi which is one of the fastest-growing IIMs. The reasons for taking this decision would have been
- Better opportunities in finance, marketing, and consulting domains.
- Better placement opportunities
- Better industry exposure
- The prestige of being a part of the IIM alumni network
- The IIM tag
All these points make IIM a more tempting choice. Yet if you are tight on budget and just want to go for the Operations domain IIT will do fine for you.
Is it worth for IIM Ranchi MBA graduate with 3 year of previous work-ex in IT to join mu sigma as apprentice leader trainee?
No, I certainly will not suggest that you go for MU Sigma as an apprentice leader trainee. There are many better options like joining a structured, organized company with a decent work ambiance. These aspects are missing in MU Sigma which has a weird business model. The business model is based on the concept ‘Throw them in water, they will learn to swim”. That is if they are made to face hardships they will end up learning the skill to survive. In reality, this has caused relentless suffering to the professionals, the managers, and most importantly the clients. Everybody is clueless and no proper targets are allotted. So I am completely against you joining MU Sigma.
How is the NMIMS Mumbai? What can be the cost of 2 years for an MBA, including accommodation? Is it worth the money? Which companies come for placement?
You have asked multiple questions at the same time and I'm here to clear all your doubts. Starting with the first part is how NMIMS is, well it is better than the newer IIMs and institutes like IMT, SIBM, SCMHRD, and IMI. In case you have calls from these, straight away go for NMIMS only. You can pursue an MBA with any specialization here. You should reconsider your decision however if you have calls from MDI, NITIE, IIFT Delhi, IIT Bombay, and JBIMS and you are willing to study something apart from Marketing.
However, NMIMS is not comparable to the older IIMs and FMS.
Cost of MBA (2 years )
The yearly NMIMS MBA fees are INR 11.95 Lakhs Fees. The additional costs are around 2.4 Lakhs every year. So the total cost of an MBA for 2 years is around INR 28.7 lakhs.
Worth
It’s impossible to evaluate correctly if a certain B School is worth the money. Some end up with high packages while some with low packages. Also, ROU is a broad term and cannot be determined by just the package you receive. Most of the time I have seen the lives of people with low packages change after their first job. So the initial package is just a stepping stone and not a deciding factor.
Placements
Some major companies that visit the campus for placements are Aditya Birla Capital, EY, Capgemini, Cognizant, ICICI Bank, etc.
I have been selected by Globsyn Business School for their MBA program. Please advise is it worth taking admission there?
Which is the best option among these; an MBA at Christ, development studies at TISS, an MBA at ICFAI Hyderabad, or rural management at XIMB?
I am a second year MBA student at Christ University Bangalore. I can only tell you about my university.
In all honesty, the campus life of Christ is pretty hectic. The senior students conduct personality development programs for freshers, right after they join the university. After this, the committee selection process starts.
The students have to strike a balance between fest/event management, placements, internships on the one hand, and huge academic load on the other. But with time, they learn to manage everything well.
For MBA students, Christ is known to provide top placements in the Marketing sector. The students receive plenty of placement opportunities in sales, and few opportunities in core marketing, media & advertising, and digital marketing as well.
Christ has a good reputation and a strong alumni network for those who wish to work in the Sales and Marketing sector after their MBA.
How much academically intense is the MBA curriculum at IBS Hyderabad?
The MBA curriculum at IBS Hyderabad is heavily focused on case studies. The academic department designs these case studies to help students improve their decision-making and interpretation skills. The case studies are distributed to students every week, and they are considered to be an interactive and comprehensive learning tool, combining both objective and subjective data to give a thorough understanding of the concepts.
You will find that your day is filled with back-to-back lectures, presentations, case study discussions, guest lectures by prominent speakers, and other skill development activities. In your first semester, you will have 8-9 subjects and lectures from 9:30 AM to 6 PM, which may make you feel that you have little time to relax.
Ultimately, it is up to you to make the most of the academic curriculum and resources provided to you.
What should i choose? XLRI or Ms in MIS from University of south florida?
It is a highly subjective question and largely dependent on what you want to do. Having said that, here I am concentrating on XLRI because it is a top MBA college in India, whereas USF is not in the creamy layer for MIS schools in the United States. If you are interested in a particular job role and believe that USF will provide you with a better opportunity where you can still apply.
You should always pursue something that you are passionate about; MBA or MS degrees from prestigious universities are both excellent choices.
If you want to go into management and learn how all business processes are integrated, an MBA from XLRI is a good choice. If you want to hone your computer or IT skills, then MS is a better choice.
What are the MBA fees in NITIE Mumbai?
I have a few friends who graduated recently from NITIE, so I think I can give you some information regarding the fee structure of the institute.
- There are two modes of entry in NITIE, i.e. GATE (PGDIE/MM/PM) and CAT (PGDIM/ISM).
- The Fee structure is different for GATE and CAT qualifying applicants.
- GATE qualifying candidates are charged around INR 12.5 LPA for the MBA program while CAT qualifying applicants are charged nearly INR 14.5 LPA.
Although the fees I have mentioned are solely meant for Tuition Fees, this doesn't include mess fees which you need to pay separately.
