Can someone give an honest review about MBA from Welingkar, Mumbai, and PUMBA? Keeping in mind that I have a below-average profile until now and had a year drop in my graduation.

SS
Sanjana Shah Posted On : June 24th, 2021
PGDM from Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research (2017)

Having friends in both the institutes, I might be able to help you with the question. Welingkar, Mumbai, and PUMBA are two opposite colleges, and comparing them is the same as comparing the North and South directions.

  • Welingkar has a cut-off of 99 for MMS and in the course of PGDM, the cutoff is above 70 percentile which should be scored in CET.
  • If scored above 70 percentile, a person would be called for GD and PI.
  • On the other hand, PUMBA in CET has a quite good cut-off ranging from about 94-95 percentile.
  • The campus is quite good also as it offers the whole Pune University Campus to sit and have fun in.
  • Along with the cut-off and campus, It's also better in terms of ROI.

How good is NL Dalmia for MBA in finance? My other options are SIES (MMS) & Welingkar (PGDM). Any help will be appreciated?

AR
Akash Roychowdhury Posted On : June 8th, 2021
MBA from SIBM Pune

Before joining any college it's better to perform some research on it. The foremost thing is you need to know all the placement details from alumni or the students who are currently studying in that college. Don’t choose a college based only on their advertisement.

Dalmia NL, SIES (MMS), and Welingker(PGDM) all these colleges are well-reputed institutions in Mumbai for management studies. I have friends pursuing their studies at these colleges. Based on what I heard, I will say N L Dalmia is the best college among these three. It has better placement records, ranking, and reputation.

  • For Finance specialization, N L Dalmia has a limited student intake, i.e. 60 seats.
  • Additionally, the institute has Mumbai's first Bloomberg Finance Lab.
  • It has a placement average of 100%. The average package for placement in the finance stream is around 6.5 lacs, while the highest package offered is above 13 lacs.

So, N L Dalmia is definitely a better choice. But before making a decision, do your own research first.

Studies PGDPM at NITIE Mumbai 2023

These courses were first inaugurated in the year 2014, and ever since then, students undeniably acquired satisfactory placement offers.

Is it benificial to do MBA from Indian Maritime University (IMU)?

SD
Shivani Dasgupta Posted On : December 28th, 2021
studied at Indian Maritime University

MBA in Shipping and Port Management is a niche field of study. But this course is in high demand. If you are interested in the field, it doesn’t really matter that it is a specialized field. A graduate in Shipping and Port Management with decent skills makes almost double/triple of their equivalent MBA graduates. The reason for it is the less number of good Maritime professionals. 

IMU offers decent MBA courses. The Kolkata campus has a good faculty base. However, you shouldn’t entirely depend on the on-campus placement drive for employment. If you have the required skills, you can easily get placement opportunities.

What are the pros and cons of doing an MBA from FMS Delhi University?

S
Sagardeep Posted On : January 10th, 2023
Studied at Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi

There's no point in going over the usual benefits like placements, good professors, university infrastructure and fees, and so on. However, it is critical to consider some genuine and neutral arguments in favor of IIMs (at least in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta).

  • When making decisions, many B-school aspirants mention ROI. The wealth maximization theory provides the NPV method, which is superior to the rate of return theory. Your future cash flows are indeed influenced by your B-school, and the difference is usually large enough to outweigh the outflow in year zero.
  • An important question to ask yourself is, "Are you doing an MBA to save money or to add value?" If the latter is your answer, you should be prepared to pay a reasonable price for it.
  • There's a reason people like the IIM label. It still carries some clout in the market. In terms of B-school brand value, an IIM has a faster growth rate. As a result, there is a chance that FMS will lose to IIM IKS in the next 10-15 years.
  • Having a subsidized university education comes with its own set of costs. Placements are completely student-led. There is no credit system, which makes student exchange difficult. For FMS, the semester system is the norm, which has its own drawbacks.
