KJ
Kiran Jatolia Posted On : December 26th, 2022
B. Tech in Electronics Engineering (courses), Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (Graduated 2017)

Although all the B Schools you mentioned are very good, the one I would personally recommend is FORE. Some points that favor my recommendation are

  • Location-based crowd: All the other colleges you mentioned have students mainly from Mumbai. But FORE located in New Delhi, the heart of the country has students from all over India.
  • Placement: Here’s a tabular comparison of the average and highest CTC of the colleges. 

College

Highest package

GIM

INR 12.1 LPA

INR 30.2 LPA

FORE

INR 14.04 LPA

INR 41 LPA

KJ Somaiya

INR 10.98 LPA

INR 26.50 LPA

SIBM Bangalore 

INR 10.60 LPA

INR 32 LPA

  • Fees:

SIBM: INR 3.53 L - 16.62 L(for 2-3 years)

The FORE School of Management has increased its batch strength to 300. Is it worth joining this college? What are your views regarding placements and ROI?

RG
Rishabh Guha Posted On : July 22nd, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2019)

One of my cousins is from the 2016-18 batch and during her batch, the strength was around 190 to 200. At present, it can be 200 to 300 easily.

When it comes to placements, I can confidently state that the figures on the FORE website are right. Placement in FORE is dominated by marketing, IT, and consulting positions. It outperforms IMI as far as ROI is concerned.

Check a brief insight on placements in the table below:

Top recruiters

Asian Paints, Nestle, Hindustan, Bacardi, TATA Motors, Hero, Whirlpool, HDFC, etc

Placement rate

97%

Average salary package

10.6 LPA

Highest salary package

30 LPA

In the end, it is up to you to decide whether or not you should join FORE. I would not recommend you to quit your job and study hard for the CAT if you want to get into tier 1 or 2 institutions. Give yourself some time to think properly about what you want or where you want to go and then decide something.

Which is better for finance, Lal Bahadur Shastri or Fore School of Management? Is it worth it to take admission in LBSIM?

SC
Shivangi Chaudhary Posted On : July 22nd, 2021
Studying B.Com from Zakir Hussain College, Delhi University (2019).

If you look at FORE’s prior placement statistics, you'll notice that even before they started this new PGDM in Financial Management, they were a good pick for the financial sector, finance businesses, and overall BFSI.

  • Until a few years ago, LBSIM was an excellent venue for PGDM Finance. However, some of the best faculty members have left LBSIM.
  • When compared to other institutes in its category, LBSIM offers cutting-edge infrastructure and possibly the best finance faculty.
  • It offers a tough curriculum, and recruiters come in with core finance profiles; on top of that, LBSIM has a higher return on investment.
  • FORE is a good school as well, but why pay more for similar opportunities.
Particulars LBSIM FORE
Fees 11.67 lakh 15.98 lakh
Top recruiters Asian Paints, Nestle, Hindustan, Bacardi, TATA Motors, Hero, Whirlpool, HDFC, etc Microsoft, Capgemini, Razorpay, HCL Technologies, LT Foods, Blackstone and Hindware, etc
Placement rate 97% 100%
Average salary package 10.6 LPA 9.2 LPA
Highest salary package 30 LPA 32 LPA

Just remember that it’s all about your career opportunities so think wisely and then make any decision.

  • Followed by a written test, requiring the applicants to write an essay.
  • The last round of the process consists of an interview and extempore.
  • Then the student is qualified based on the performances in all the rounds.

Some similarities/dissimilarities are tabulated below:
