Indian business institutions IIFT and SCMHRD provide MBA programs in international commerce and management. Pros and drawbacks of each school:

Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT)

Pros:

  • IIFT is well-regarded for its focus on international trade and business. The institute's alumni network helps place students in top companies with decent salaries. International trade and business are likewise well-represented.
  • For students who prefer to study elsewhere, IIFT's MBA program is solely available in Delhi. Many applicants compete for a few IIFT places.
  • Symbiosis Centre for Management and Human Resource Development (SCMHRD): Pros: SCMHRD has a good placement record for its MBA in Human Resource Management program. Diverse pupils from various backgrounds attend the institute.

Cons

  • SCMHRD is in Pune, which may not suit those who desire to study elsewhere. The institute also emphasizes HR, which may not fit students interested in other management fields.
  • The placement percentage fluctuates every year and depends on economic conditions, batch size, and employing industries. Both institutes have good placement records, and students usually get job offers from well-known businesses in many areas.

When choosing a business school, investigate and analyze your personal and professional aspirations. Visit the campus and talk to students and alumni to learn about the school's culture and opportunities.

Which is better, NMIMS HR or SCMHRD-MBA in Business Analytics?

BT
Bhaskar Trivedi Posted On : April 23rd, 2021
MBA from SVKM's NMIMS, graduated in 2019

Someone I know who is an alumnus of SCMHRD has said that finding out which college is better will bear little to no fruits. 

You can get in touch with the professionals from both programs and try to understand what you will have to do in order to make a name for yourself. An internal analysis is involved after which it is gauged what field would be the most suitable for you.

NMIMS is popular for producing marketing professionals. Finance is also popular in the institute. Analytics is not the flagship course of SCMHRD. They are very different courses and your temperament and aptitude are also contributing factors.

Which one is better, XIMB or SCMHRD?

SS
Sushant Saraf Posted On : April 23rd, 2021
MBA in Marketing, Symbiosis Centre for Management and Human Resource Development

One of my seniors used to be a student of SCMHRD and he gave an analytical comparison between the two institutions.

Name of the institute

Fees

Average Placements

Size of the batch

SCMHRD

15,45,000 INR

Marketing: 14.70 LPA

HR: 15.3 LPA

240 (180 core+ 40 IM + 20 BA)

XIMB

18,70,000 INR

13-18 LPA

Above 400

In terms of location, SCMHRD is one step ahead of XIMB because the former is closer to Mumbai, the financial capital of India.

In spite of both institutes having an equally strong alumni network but as HR is the strong point of SCMHRD, it edges out XIMB in this regard as well. Marketing is also very strong in SCMHRD.

So, my senior recommended SCMHRD. Consulting is the forte of XIMB. However, both colleges are unique in their own ways.

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’s the scope of an MBA in Infrastructure Development and Management from SCMHRD?

BH
Bharath Harish Posted On : May 19th, 2023
studied at Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune (2019)

The intake for the batch for this program in SCMHRD is only 60. The program of Infrastructure Development and Management is offered by very few institutes in India, and this program by SCMHRD is at the top of the list. SCMHRD is already a well-established brand in the higher education segment. Due to the privatization of the infrastructure and development market, the demand for management in the field has increased, and with that, the demand for working professionals from the management field also increased. So, I recommend you to pursue this program. The major batch intake is from an engineering background, with almost half of the batch as freshers. The average CTC offered for this program is 16.11 lac per annum, while the highest salary offered is 27 lac per annum.

  • Industry-renowned brand
  • Excellent campus facilities
  • Strong corporate connection with large alumni network
  • Many specialisations.

Cons:

  • Stressful student competition
  • Industry-standard curriculum may not be updated.

 SCMHRD 

Pros:

  • High-paying placements

  • International university exchanges

CAT is a challenging exam that takes substantial preparation and devotion to get 98 percentile or higher. Need to appear for 10-12 mocks before the exam to know the weak areas and work on that.
