Which is better, NMIMS Bangalore or WELINGKAR Mumbai?

RS
Rishi Sharma Posted On : March 2nd, 2023

NMIMS Bangalore is indeed a good choice for management education and is widely considered one of the top B-Schools in India. As you mentioned, the fee at NMIMS is on the higher side, but the quality of education and the reputation of the college are often seen as worth the investment. The faculty at NMIMS is highly experienced and includes many co-teachers at top IIMs, which is a testament to the quality of education at the college.

Placements are also a strong point at NMIMS, with an average of 9 lacs, and opportunities to earn even more for top performers in the batch. This, combined with the brand recognition and prestige of NMIMS, which has produced many successful global CEOs, makes it a highly attractive option for those seeking a management education.

Welingkar is also a good college, but it may not offer the same level of faculty, brand recognition, and placements as NMIMS. However, this does not mean that Welingkar is not a good college; it just may not be as strong in all areas as NMIMS. Ultimately, the best way to determine which college is right for you is to weigh your individual career goals, preferences, and priorities against the strengths and weaknesses of each college.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a top-notch management education with a strong faculty, excellent placements, and a well-respected brand, then NMIMS Bangalore may be the right choice for you. However, it is always important to carefully consider your individual needs and goals and do your own research to determine which college is the best fit for you.

Are there paid seats in Symbiosis institute of Business management (SIBM), Bangalore and NMIMS Bangalore?

GG

The practice of offering paid seats, also known as management quota or director's quota, is prevalent in many institutions, including various Symbiosis campuses. However, it is essential to understand that such seats come at a premium price and do not guarantee admission based on merit. This is where the admission process at SIBM Bengaluru stands apart. The institute takes pride in its merit-based admission process, which is based solely on the candidate's SNAP score.

SNAP, or the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test, is a nationally recognized entrance exam that is mandatory for admission to various management programs offered by Symbiosis Institutes. The test measures a candidate's aptitude for management and is designed to assess the candidate's skills in areas such as quantitative ability, verbal ability, general awareness, and analytical & logical reasoning. SIBM Bengaluru follows the SNAP score cut-off for determining the eligibility of candidates for admission. This means that to secure a seat in SIBM B, you will need to perform well in the SNAP exam and meet the cut-off set by the institute.

NMIMS, or the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, is another reputed management institute in India. However, unlike many other institutions, NMIMS follows a strict merit-based admission process. This means that admission to NMIMS is granted solely on the basis of a candidate's performance in the entrance exam and does not involve any paid seats.

In conclusion, while the practice of offering paid seats is widespread in the education sector, it is important to choose an institute that values merit over money. SIBM Bengaluru and NMIMS are two such institutions that follow a strict merit-based admission process, ensuring that only the most deserving and competent candidates secure a place in their programs.

Which is better, B school in Tapmi or the NMIMS Bangalore?

DC
Durba Chatterjee Posted On : January 5th, 2021
PGDM from T. A. Pai Management Institute (2018)

TAPMI is the obvious choice from the two colleges because of the following reasons.

Reputation:

TAPMI is a well-established college with a good reputation, experienced faculty, rich alumni, and better placements. Whereas NMIMS Bangalore is a relatively new college mentored by the NMIMS brand.

  • TAPMI was ranked 19 and 27 respectively by India Today 2019 and NIRF 2020 for MBA.
  • NMIMS Bangalore was ranked 29 for MBA by India Today 2019.

Placements:

  • Placements too are better in TAPMI for the 2019 batch the highest package offered was 25 LPA, while the average package was 11.05 LPA About 126 recruiters have visited the campus. About 52 Pre-placement offers were made.
  • For the 2019 batch in NMIMS Bangalore, the highest package offered was 21.38 LPA and the average package was 10.5 LPA. A total of 91 companies have visited the campus and about 19 Pre-placement offers were made.

Infrastructure:

TAPMI offers great infrastructure. The finance lab is one of the best in the country. It is powered by 16 Bloomberg terminals and 7 Thomson Reuters terminals. Even many old IIMs do not have these facilities.

TAPMI offers admission through CAT whereas NMIMS Bangalore conducts NMAT for admission, so it is evident that you will be among better peers at TAPMI. Despite the locational disadvantage, TAPMI will be the best choice out of the two.

Which one is better for MBA/PGDM Finance, NMIMS Bangalore or GIM, Goa?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : June 6th, 2023
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Both the universities, GIM and NMIMS are reputed in the field of Management education. But since you don't have NMIMS Mumbai as an option, you might give it a second thought.

When it comes to NMIMS Bangalore, GIM is a much older player in the field of PGDM. Even if we see the rankings, GIM is considered in the top 20 to 30 including IIM in the list. They have experienced faculty, very decent placement records, and a very strong alumni base.

So I would suggest not running after an umbrella institute under the NMIMS brand name and rather going for GIM.

How is the BSc Economics program at NMIMS Bangalore? I’m on the waitlist for the Mumbai campus so I want to know if I should consider Bangalore or wait for the list for Mumbai to come out.

AM
Anita Malhotra Posted On : May 23rd, 2023
Student at NMIMS Bangalore

NMIMS Bangalore BSc Economics program has unique course content and innovative pedagogy. It helps in developing an individual to seamlessly integrate into an organization or to be an entrepreneur. The linkages of different quantitative methods have led NMIMS to set up a School of Economics.

Mumbai is the financial capital of India and taking a shot at the admission waitlist will be worth waiting because if you get into the Mumbai campus, the level of exposure you will get will not be at par with any other city in India. If your waiting list number is beyond the acceptable limit then you should consider the Bangalore campus as well.

Is it advisable to leave an IT job and join NMIMS Bangalore? Why?

AD
Anuraag Das Posted On : April 27th, 2023
Studied at MBA from NMIMS (2020)

I tend to advocate changing careers to boost your compensation.

However, there are a few instances in which an MBA may be useful:

  • You have completed the technical job and found that you do not enjoy it and cannot see yourself doing it for the next ten years.
  • You have done technical work and determined that you are average or below average in comparison to the rest of the population. This is tough to evaluate critically on your own. Consider criticism from co-workers and seniors, as well as reflection.
  •  When comparing higher education alternatives, you can't see yourself doing an MS or M.Tech. You are interested in technology and business administration.
  • You want to explore non-technical fields of work, even if it means earning less than your peers who work in the IT profession.

Your primary goal appears to be to improve your financial situation, I would advise you to pursue a job as a full-stack developer.

If you still want to change careers and make decent money, try attending an MBA program that is significantly higher ranked than NMIMS Bangalore.

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : April 17th, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

It is very tough to choose one out of the two as NMIMS Bangalore is getting better year after year. BIMTECH last year saw the highest and average package offered as INR 23.43 and 11.25 LPA while for NMIMS Bangalore it was INR 19.70 and 14 LPA. BIMTECH offers PGDM courses in different streams and average fees is around 12 Lakhs and of NMIMS it is 11.95 Lakhs. So, NMIMS is better than BIMTECH in case of ROI. But for other things like faculty, alumni community etc, BIMTECH is better, so choose wisely and depending upon your convenience.

SIBM Pune (I&E) vs NMIMS Bangalore. Which is a better option?

SN
Sanskar Nigam Posted On : March 2nd, 2023
Analyst at DebriN Synergy (company) (2015–present)

Both NMIMS Bangalore and SIBM Pune are good management institutes with strong placement records. However, SIBM Pune may have certain advantages over NMIMS Bangalore. For example, SIBM Pune offers a unique MBA program that combines innovation and entrepreneurship, which is not offered by many other institutions in India. Additionally, the placement statistics for SIBM Pune show that students tend to receive higher averages and the highest salaries than students at NMIMS Bangalore.

Another advantage of SIBM Pune is its alumni network, which can provide valuable resources and connections for students as they start their careers. Additionally, SIBM Pune accepts the SNAP test for admission, while NMIMS Bangalore accepts the NMAT.

Of course, these are generalizations and individual experiences may vary. It is important to do your own research and weigh your individual goals and priorities when choosing between these two institutes. Factors such as location, campus culture, course offerings, and your own academic background and test scores can also impact your decision.

In conclusion, both NMIMS Bangalore and SIBM Pune are strong institutes for management education, and the best choice for you will depend on your individual needs and goals.
