What is the expected ROI from IIM-Lucknow, other than networking and brand?
Don’t let people mislead you into believing that ROU is just a materialistic element and does not have much value. Once you are out of B-school you just want to have a financially stable life. The fees you have invested are much more than just fees. It is the skills, time, and foregone salaries of 2 years.
The jobs you land out of a B School are based on your past performance, especially during summer placements. In fact, many high-paying jobs in the B-school placement reports are Summer Internship PPOs.
IIM Lucknow is an outstanding institute considering the ROI aspect. Don’t let yourself into the delusion that MBA is for learning and not for money. If that were the case you would be better off doing a Ph.D. rather than a job.

Can you become a professor in IIMs or IITs after FPM from new IIMs, like Rohtak or Raipur?
Becoming a professor from the new IIMs is definitely possible but rare. The FPM program offered at the new IIMs has varied peers some being freshers while some with Masters from foreign universities.
The following things matter when selecting an Assistant Professor in a new IIM
- Your experience
- The quality of your papers
The chances are rare because most of the new IIMs have professors who have done Ph.D. from older IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta. Ph.D. is a program that totally depends on your performance and research. The initial years focus solely on research training and cannot be enough to make you eligible for faculty positions.
So your chances are rare but not null.
What is the benefit of doing executive programme in business management from IIM Calcutta with 5 years work experience as manager accounts in a manufacturing industry?
If you are working in a company with great turnover and managing a leadership role, this programme is of little benefit to you. But if you want to open your own start-up and are willing to learn the know-how of business management and leadership skills this course welcomes you. Some major benefits of the course are:
-
Many companies sponsor for you and are willing to take you back after the course
-
This programme should be undertaken with long term benefits in mind. You should be confident that broadening your horizons will definitely pay you back one day later or sooner.
-
For people who are always willing to learn more and more it’s the perfect course. It’s a tightly packed one year programme
But every coin has two sides. As much as this course is beneficial in the long run it has its own drawbacks. Some drawbacks you should definitely know are:
-
People who have lost their touch in academics will not be able to cope with the tight scheduled course
-
The placement opportunities are rare around 10-20% of the entire batch
-
People who are low on budget tend to take educational loans which are not worth this course.
So this course has its benefits but they are long term and one needs patience to uncover them.
