How is IIM Ranchi MBA finance?
Since you are curious about finance only, I will try to answer your question based on the Finance domain only. To elaborate let’s consider the following merits and demerits
Merits
- Placements: IIM Ranchi is a new IIM so you cannot get front-end IB roles right off the bat. Yet it offers many roles that can be your stepping stones into the finance world. It does not offer front roles in IB, PE, VC, and bulge bracket equity research. One cannot expect such roles in the near future. But the fact is all these roles are available at the top IIMs only to the cream students. So if your profile is the same, changing the institute won’t matter. Many reputed Investment Banks offer middle office roles like Private credit, Debt capital firms, and Outsourced financial research firms. These roles can kick start your career in finance if not grant you a high-paying job.
- Faculty: The finance faculty is just average here and only those who are really motivated and determined can survive. Some even quit finance in the second year due to the same reason. The teaching quality is diverse and some may find it not at par with their expectations.
- Crowd: Most of the students opt for Finance as one of their majors in the second year. Additionally, a team even won the CFA RC India competition and represented India in the Asia Pacific finals. So the crowd is diverse and of premium quality.
- CFA: The CFA Certification aims at enhancing finance knowledge and placements at large. The class lectures combined with the theoretical knowledge of CFA will make it very easy for you to understand Finance in depth.
Demerits:
- Lack of major front-end role opportunities
- Tools like Bloomerang are not much common in the curriculum
- The relatively new courses in Finance like PE/VC, alternative investments, REITs, SPACs, IPO financing, and M&A are not given enough focus.
- The teaching faculty needs to be improved
All in all I think IIM Ranchi is a decent choice for Finance and in the years to come will have improved a lot.
How is the PGDM marketing program at SPJIMR? Also, can you shed light on the placement scenario as well?
The SPJIMR PGDM Marketing program is similar to top B Schools like IIM ABC. The key highlights of the same program are listed below. Please note these are not generic and are specifically related to the Marketing program.
Curriculum: The curriculum is almost exactly what is taught at elite B Schools. The relevancy of the curriculum is maintained through unique programs like GFT wherein a 3-week immersion at some of the finest universities of the USA takes place. A very interesting program called ‘A day in the life of a Salesman’ is a much talked about program at SPJIMR. In this, you will get to shadow a salesman from a reputed FMCG company so that you understand the techniques of sales and distribution.
Pedagogy: The pedagogy adopted is usually a case-based approach. Mostly Harvard cases are used to strike discussions in the classrooms. Additionally, live projects are conducted by various visiting companies. Such initiatives help formulate an effective pedagogy.
Faculty: The faculty is a great combination of professors with theoretical knowledge and industry experts. All are highly competent in their respective fields.
Batch: The diversity of the batch can be looked up on the official website by checking the profiles of the Marketing batch specifically. Usually, the crowd is diverse and has an overall good profile.
Placements: The placement statistics can be checked on the official website. The figures are inflated but can be used for comparison purposes only. The table below includes the key highlights of SPJIMR placements 2023

What is your review of Xavier Institute of Management (XIMB), Bhubaneswar? Is it worth doing an MBA from this institute? What are its placements like?
My friend was a student at XIMB and all the points mentioned below are based on his experience at XIMB.
- Location: Located at the center of the city, no commute difficulties are posed and you can access all off-campus facilities with ease. But the new campus is a bit far from the city and is bigger. Both campuses have world-class facilities.
- Campus Life: Life at XIMB is rigorous and lively and you will always be occupied with classes, committee elections, quizzes, case study competitions, cultural events, and guest lectures. But this rigor will help you learn time management. Nightlife on campus is exciting as a number of exciting things take place at night
- Friendships: Every good college experience requires a good group of friends without which your survival might become more difficult. This friendship will stay with you throughout the year.
- Hostel: The hostel life is thrilling and you will develop an affinity for your Hostel and your Hostel Block will become your pride and identity.
- Faculty: The faculty reside within the campus and are some of the best in the country.
- Case Study Competitions: You can participate in all the major case study competitions to portray your business problem-solving skills.
- Xpressions: This event is in the limelight of the Institute as it showcases what XIMB actually is. The event welcomes some of the top celebrities and gives an exciting experience.
- Placements: Placements are at level with the top 20 colleges. XIMB maintains a decent placement record over years. Recently, the institute released its 2022 placement report. According to the report, the highest salary, average salary & median salary increased by nearly 34.2%, 15.78% & 17.9% respectively as compared to the previous year. The highest salary offered was INR 32.21 LPA & average salary stood at INR 17.54 LPA. The median salary offered was INR 17.10 LPA.
Life at XIMB will give you an abundance of memories and knowledge about yourself, life and competitions. Make the best of those 2 years and try to be involved in every possible activity as you won’t get to relive these days and get back those days again.

How is DOON B SCHOOL for MBA?
Absolutely not! You should not even consider going at DOON B SCHOOL for MBA and risking your career. There are much better options available to you, such as pursuing a certification course related to your undergraduate degree or actively searching for job openings through job portals and LinkedIn.
It's important to note that students have been placed with extremely low starting salaries, some as low as 10-12k per month, through this institution. The companies that the college boasts of on their website only offer backend profiles such as associates and support, which may not lead to growth in your career.
It's crucial to not be swayed by the college's marketing tactics, including its SAP program, which is nothing more than a big joke. They have cleverly co-branded the college using the word "Doon," which often tricks people into thinking that the college is associated with "The Doon School," a well-known institution. However, the management of this college is very good at "packing" their offerings, while the actual content and quality are almost nonexistent.
It is adviced to take a break and prepare for MBA entrance exams so that you can apply to a reputable business school. Mumbai is an excellent location to consider, as there are many highly-regarded institutions there.
Is IIM-A campus more beautiful than IIM-L or IIM-C?
All the above IIMs, i.e. IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Lucknow, and IIM Calcutta are very beautiful but beauty is a subjective matter and it depends on the person on which campus he/she finds more beautiful, but if you still want a particular answer, then it has to be IIM Ahmedabad.
The campus of IIM Ahmedabad is very beautiful and it is among the most beautiful colleges in our country. The architecture is very good especially the new campus and the old campus is also being renovated.
What adds to the charm of the institute is the feeling that the reputed alumni sat in the same place and contemplated life and beyond from the same place, that you get to hang out.
