What is your experience of doing MBA at LIBA Loyola College in Chennai?
One of my cousins graduated from Loyola. His experience at Loyola Institute of Business Administration (LIBA) is quite good. First of all, I will have to answer based on my current interactions with the faculty and some of the students.
- My friend has been fairly active concerning the alumni meetings and has met most of the professors and quite a few students.
- There is one marked difference between the time my friend studied there and now, that is the significant improvement in the facilities.
- There is a proper hostel, the entire campus is wi-fi enabled and the auditorium and other facilities are pretty much as good as it gets.
- The classes are like any other college.
- There is a mix of full-time and guest faculty; they also do not follow any particular schedule when it comes to guest speakers.
- Try not to compare it to an IIM. Though the standards are definitely above average and better.
- There is still a vibe of a laid-back environment here when comparing them to a B school like XLRI.
| Categories | MBA at LIBA |
| Course Fee | 1.68 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 10-12 PA |

SSIM is one of the premier B-schools in Hyderabad, which has over 30+ years of legacy and 5000+ alumni. Currently, I am in my 2nd year of the PGDM TPS program.

SSIM Curriculum includes managerial competency development courses such as Experiential Learning, Book review sessions, Social projects, and Company Review Sessions to name a few. In our Experiential Learning Project during Term 1 we visited a manufacturing company. This was my first exposure to a corporate which helped me to understand how corporates function, get acquainted with the corporate culture, allocation and optimum utilization of resources, and most importantly corporates’ expectations of management graduates.
SSIM will nurture and groom students for long-term professional careers along with the vision of making socially responsible business leaders. Wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

What are the chances of getting a job in Dubai post an MBA from SPJIMR Mumbai? What is the kind of profiles students from SPJIMR get (in Dubai)?
Your skill set is the most important factor that determines your employability in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. This skill set is something that you can develop over time with experience.
Keep in mind that there are very few opportunities for freshers from SPJIMR post an MBA, although IIM-K is a separate case. If you are a Keralite or a Malayali, the UAE may be another option to consider.
Recruiters in the GCC region will always prefer someone who knows Arabic, French, or other foreign languages. This is something that you can work on and improve over time.
After a few years of solid work experience, your chances of getting a job in the GCC region are higher. However, keep in mind that recruiters have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to hiring, especially for jobs that require cheap labor from Asian countries.
In the Middle East, your experience matters a lot, as well as your ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment. You need to be able to adapt quickly and work efficiently to succeed.
It's important to note that Western nationalities also have an edge in the Gulf job market. If a company has the option to choose between a Marketing person with similar skill sets, an average-looking Indian guy, and a Western-style icon with a model-like personality, they will most likely choose the latter. This is because most jobs in the Gulf require excellent communication skills, a little bit of relevant experience, and a Driving License.
