IIMs in India provide excellent education and consistently grow and adapt to challenges, even during economic downturns. During the MBA placements season at IIM Ranchi in 2022, the highest and average packages offered were INR 42 LPA and INR 16.62 LPA, respectively. IIM Trichy also had a successful placements season in 2022, with the highest package offered to be INR 34 LPA, an increase of 13% compared to the previous year. One unique aspect of IIM Trichy is that it offers a course on International Business Practice, which allows students to work on live projects for companies based in Singapore and other locations. 

Both IIM Ranchi and IIM Trichy are good choices for students interested in sales and marketing careers. Ultimately, the decision of which institute to attend will depend on your personal priorities and preferences.

Which college to choose from IIM Raipur or SCMHRD for Marketing? Please help.

S
Sagardeep Posted On : February 6th, 2023
Studied at IIM Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India

When considering whether to attend IIM Raipur or another institute, it is important to consider a variety of factors. Both IIM Raipur and SCMHRD offer good placement opportunities for Marketing, however, the faculty and the curriculum may differ. It is recommended to attend lectures and evaluate which institute's faculty aligns more with your learning style and goals.

IIM Raipur has a strong reputation in the field of marketing and has won several marketing-related business school competitions over the years, making it a good choice for students interested in this domain.

From a long-term perspective, having an IIM tag on your resume can be beneficial. It makes you a part of a larger alumni pool and can open up many opportunities in the future. Many premium job portals have a criterion of "IIMs/ISB/XLRI/MDI only" for certain job openings, which could be a factor to consider when looking for post-MBA job opportunities.

It is important to keep in mind that the choice ultimately depends on the individual student's priorities and preferences. The information provided is only a guide to help in the decision-making process.

What are the prospects of pursuing an MBA in Marketing from IIMs, JBIMS, XLRI, MICA, or SIBM, with poor academics, and how can one compensate for the same?

PK
Pranav Khera Posted On : February 21st, 2023
Guest Faculty at JBIMS for training students for GDPI for placements

Your poor academic record can be a major hindrance, especially in summer placements because the companies know you haven’t done anything major yet in the B School. So I will suggest you some tips that might help you compensate for your low 12th class marks and get you a good internship offer

  • Enroll in an online course as this might be a major topic of discussion in the interview. It should preferably be an advanced version of your current course or a unique course.
  • Get involved in volunteer work at NGOs. This will not only prove to be beneficial during your interview but also will help you become a part of social service committees on campus.
  • Master a new language preferably French, Mandarin or Spanish as this may increase your chances of getting International placement or foreign exchange.
  • Look for internships that offer practical knowledge for a short period of time.

As far as the Final Placements are concerned, you will have to improve your profile to attract the best recruiters. Some tips to improve your general profile are

  • Rather than focusing on your past academics, focus on the new phase of your life and give your best
  • Go for courses that offer live projects as recruiters highly prefer such exposure. Sometimes even the on-campus committees offer such live projects. Many times the winners of such projects get amazing PPOs or cash prizes.
  • Joining a good on-campus committee is beneficial not only in maintaining a good campus life but also improving your overall profile. You get amazing exposure by interacting with industry professionals in the corporate world during events and conferences.
  • If you are skilled at writing, do the same for business magazines or websites.

All this will help you make the most out of your MBA experience and also improve your profile enough to attract the best placement offers. The only key is to work hard relentlessly.

It depends on which NMIMS you’re talking about. If you’re talking about NMIMS Mumbai. Then I would choose NMIMS. 

Location:  Between NMIMS & SCMHRD, Mumbai is one the best location to do an MBA as a large and good pool of companies will come to the campus.

Is MBA in marketing good in FMS Delhi?

SJ
Sidhharth Jain Posted On : May 30th, 2023
Studied at FMS

MBA in Marketing is one of the greatest options available at FMS. Faculty members such as Prof Harsh Verma will provide you with the marketing expertise you seek. He teaches a wide range of subjects. 

Dr. Ajay Pandit was also present during our term and was a jewel of a person. Prof Harsh Verma is a personal favorite of students because he does not teach in a typical way. He stimulates your mental process and makes you think. This improves your analytical capacity to approach a topic conceptually. I enjoyed learning about Brand Management, Consumer Behaviour, and Service Marketing with him.

Is the SCMHRD good for marketing too, or just HR?

PM
Piyush Malawat Posted On : June 15th, 2023
Studied at Symbiosis Centre for Management and Human Resource Development

I believe SCMHRD is an amazing college for all managerial fields.

The HR stream is the most popular because it began with an emphasis on Personnel Management and Industrial Relations, drawing on the experiences of seasoned managers in and around Mumbai, Pune, and Nashik.

SCMHRD has been working to improve its resources and infrastructure since its beginnings. Placements have also improved. The faculty and the institution's reach have likewise grown steadily during the last decade.

As a result, admission to SCMHRD will be ideal for an MBA (Marketing) candidate. If you have the opportunity, please join.

Is IBS a good college for an MBA in marketing? Which is the best campus: Hyderabad, Mumbai, or Pune?

JT
Jayant Thakur Posted On : February 24th, 2023
Studied at ICFAI Business School, Mumbai

Among the campuses of IBS, Hyderabad is considered the best, followed by Mumbai and Pune. It is assumed that the syllabus and course content are similar across the three campuses. Hyderabad is considered to be the best in terms of facilities and resources, while Mumbai is also a strong option, with good professors, case studies, presentations, and a well-equipped campus.

While IBS Hyderabad has a strong placement record, most of the offered positions are in sales. There are also opportunities in advertising, retailing, and other fields, but they are less prevalent. The pay packages offered by the college are decent. After gaining some experience through campus placements, you can explore job opportunities outside the college.

It is important to note that none of the IBS campuses are AICTE approved, but they are affiliated with ICFAI University in Dehradun. As an alternative, you can opt for a distance MBA program by paying an additional fee.

Which college should I join, IMT Ghaziabad (marketing) or IIM Sirmaur? I have work experience of 3 years in the IT industry.

SS
Sweta Singh Posted On : January 19th, 2023
PGDM from Indian Institute of Management Sirmaur (Graduated 2019)

The new IIMs like IIM Sirmaur and Jammu prefer experienced work professionals over freshers. This is so that the B School can boast its profile in front of corporates during placements. Other than the IIM tag it has nothing to offer and is not in the league of well-established companies. IMT Ghaziabad specializes in Marketing and IIM Sirmaur is nowhere comparable in this aspect. I’m fact IMT Ghaziabad is better than IIM Sirmaur in all these aspects

  • brand
  • crowd
  • faculty exposure
  • corporate connect
  • roles offered
  • alums
  • location

Your IT background will also fetch you a good role if you join IMT Ghaziabad only.

Which course among PGP at IIM Indore and PGP-ABM at IIM Lucknow should one choose if he/she has an interest in Marketing and Operations?

AD
Amit Datta Posted On : January 9th, 2023
PGP from Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (Graduated 2021)

The simple answer is that the choice of the course depends more or your overall profile than the course itself. Irresponsible of your specialization your chances at placements will be low if your resume is below average. Moreover, institutes like IIM Indore and IIM Lucknow offer joint placements for both programs. 

Students can apply to any company irrespective of their specialization. Yet there are many who are able to get into their dream companies while some failed to get a call from a reputed firm. This is because the PGP program just added value to your resume and if that is already poor then even PGP cannot guarantee you a high-paying job.

So if you already have a good resume all you need to do is improve your resume in marketing and operations. This can be done through extra-curricular activities and B-school competitions. For this the PGP-ABM program is perfect.

But if you have a below-average resume, then go for PGP. Because then extracurricular activities alone will not improve your resume. You need class projects and good academic scores to upgrade it. Unlike PGP-ABM, you won’t miss out on basic electives related to marketing/ops/finance.

So nothing is certain about an MBA program. One needs to know what he will be doing after acquiring knowledge to decide which course to take. I will personally suggest you go for IIM Lucknow PGP-ABM if you just want to improve your resume.
