Should I take admission in IIM Kashipur MBA analytics if offered, given that this will be their first batch for MBA analytics?
My friend is a 2020 graduate of the institute who has witnessed the laying of the foundation of the MBA Analytics program. She benefited a lot from this course. According to her
Reasons to join the course
- If you are interested in the Analytics domain then you should definitely go for it.
- You might be uncertain about the course’s worth because it’s relatively new. But its affiliation with IIM is what adds value to it apart from its excellent placement opportunities.
- If you are afraid that you will not be able to change domains in the future then you can relax. Its curriculum includes core MBA subjects from finance, marketing, operations, analytics, and HR along with fundamental concepts of analytics, in the first year.
Reason to not join the course
- You are not interested in the Analytics domain.
So apart from your disinterest in the subject, nothing is stopping you from pursuing MBA in Analytics.
After doing a PGP in ACM from NICMAR, which job will I be getting, and how will be life after that?
After you pass out from NICMAR, that name has a lot of significance. The organization you join values it plainly, and they have strong standards (these standards were established by former students who are currently in key management positions).
NICMAR students mostly get placed in Planning/Contracts/Business development/ Tendering kind of profiles.
The early years would involve a lot of work and long hours. Once you adapt, learn, and establish yourself, you'll soon succeed in your roles and be able to compete in decision-making with top management.
This is a fundamental concept for whatever company you work for following NICMAR. Simply put, NICMAR is a way to add quality and relevance to your hard work so that you might succeed at a faster rate. It is not a shortcut to a better life or job.
Which is better to do MBA - SRCC GBO or DTU DSM?
An MBA from SRCC GBO is better than DTU DSM. My friend was a student of S.R.C.C. G.B.O and shared a few pros and cons of the program she experienced throughout her program.
Pros:
- You get to associate yourself with the well-established SRCC brand name. The top companies safe well aware of this brand and flock here for placements.
- SRCC has excellent infrastructural facilities some of which include a PA system, a projector, and centralized air-conditioning.
- SRCC has a massive sports complex that was made for the commonwealth games. It has top-notch facilities like athletes’ changing rooms, a gymnasium, and much more.
- GBO has a highly qualified and learned faculty pool. The majority of the professors are alumni of top institutes like IIMs and FMS.
- Baking affiliated with Delhi University, SRCC shared many core professors with the FMS.
- The placement scenario is great and some top recruiters include EY, Dell, HCL, Novartis, Baxter, DCM, etc. Some companies visiting FMS allow SRCC students to sit for placements.
Cons:
- GBO is not an MBA but a Post Graduate Diploma in G.B.O.
- SRCC is famous for its UG courses so the P.G.D.G.B.O. Program is yet to receive recognition.
The only thing I can comment on about DTU DSM is that the crowd quality is poor because of low cutoffs. Placements-wise too, DTU DSM takes the lead while SRCC takes the backseat.
Which MBA college is better, Indira Pune or MIT Pune?
Compared to Indira, MIT Pune is a better MBA college. It is known for its good placements. MIT Pune placements 2022 had witnessed an average CTC of INR 5.92 LPA, for MBA. The highest CTC offered this year was INR 30 LPA.
MIT has a great management faculty. The campus culture, locality, and student crowd are decent.
Can I do a second MBA from ISB after around 2 years of work experience and my first MBA from a Tier II institute?
There is literally nothing that is stopping you from doing a double MBA. Many students are not satisfied with the brand value or outcome of their first MBA degree and might opt for a double MBA from a better B School with clearer goals.
But if you are doing so, make sure you have a credible story up your sleeve to explain why you need a second MBA.
- They might ask what you learned from your former MBA
- Why you need a second MBA
- Are you doing the second MBA merely for the ISB tag
Prepare such questions well and ponder on the real reason why you are found for another MBA. Rather than a hasty decision, you can also wait for a few years and see if a second MBA is really necessary.
Should I join PGP ACM NICMAR Pune as a fresher?
The highest package of NICMAR Pune is 24 LPA, and the average package stands at 9LPA, so if you are a fresher with an excellent academic record, you could definitely think about going to NICMAR since they have an excellent scholarship policy for the students with more than 95% throughout their school and undergraduate degree.
There are good brands like L&T, Axis Bank, JMC Projects (India), and Zetwerk who regularly visit the campus, but being a fresher the CV shortlisting for all the big brands would be slightly tricky unless you have a great resume. So, start working on your resume if you want to spend 13 lac of your money for an average package of 8-9LPA

What is the cutoff required in the CAT exam for the admission of a one-year PGPBL program (PGPM) at IIM Kozhikode?
IIM Kozhikode has a holistic approach to select candidates for its various management courses. PGPBL at IIM Kozhikode is a new course in the 1 year MBA category, due to this reason it is not as rigid towards the minimum CAT/GRE/GMAT requirement for student selection. But you are expected to put effort into your application at the same time.
This program has a very detailed application. With decent scores and in-depth application you can expect to crack the first stage of the admission process. But the program is attracting positive attention, so you can expect a rigid percentile requirement in the coming years.
I would recommend you apply for PGPBL at IIM Kozhikode and experience the rich selection process first-hand.
