Which is the better option, NMIMS, SIBM, or IMI Delhi?

AS
Amrit Sehegal Posted On : March 15th, 2023
Studied at IMI Delhi

When selecting between IMI, NMIMS, and Symbiosis for your MBA, keep in mind that all three institutes are located in great urban centers with easy access to corporate offices and opportunities. If you're interested in Corporate Finance or Financial Markets profiles, IMI and NMIMS should be great options for you. However, Symbiosis has traditionally held an edge in Marketing and HR due to its diverse gender profile and mobility.

All three institutes are considered niche colleges that provide a decent MBA in Delhi or Bombay, with good opportunities for summer internships and frequent visits from recruiters. While ranking them can be difficult, NMIMS has fallen behind in recent years and is now lagging behind in terms of job opportunities in Finance or other fields in Bombay.

When it comes to Finance jobs, IMI stands out with better CTC offers, but remember that other factors, such as the exposure you receive, the profile you are offered, and your own performance during your studies, will also play a significant role in your future career success. Therefore, be sure to research each institute thoroughly and choose the one that best aligns with your goals and interests.

How can I earn a summer internship opportunity in reputed companies? I am an undergraduate student from NMIMS Mumbai.

AG
Asutose Ghose Posted On : May 19th, 2023
studied BBA (Finance), NMIMS, 2016

The best chance for an undergraduate student to secure a summer internship opportunity in a reputed company is to focus on those companies that visit the college campus for hiring interns.

Reputed companies usually prefer hiring interns from colleges through campus placements rather than running an off-campus recruitment drive. Therefore, if a particular company does not visit your college for internships, the chances of securing an internship with that company are almost null.

Students should focus on applying for internships with companies that visit their college. This can increase their chances of securing a summer internship opportunity with reputed companies. However, this does not mean that students should limit their options to only those companies that visit their college. They can also explore other opportunities by networking, applying through online job portals, or seeking recommendations from alumni or industry professionals.
