Which college is better for a PGDM in Marketing, IMS Ghaziabad or NDIM Tughlakhabad?
To achieve a strong professional profile, it is recommended that you aim for a MAT score of 97 or above, or take the MAT exam again for the best results. Additionally, having a valid license for a two-wheeler may be beneficial for a sales profile, but it's best to confirm this with the placement officer.
In the event that you cannot reach the desired MAT tier, building a LinkedIn profile and connecting with alumni who have worked in sales profiles may provide insight into job stability and average take-home salary. Keep in mind that the success of a few students, even if they are featured in promotional posters, may not accurately reflect the experiences of the entire student body.
It's also important to consider placement quality, stability, and job sustainability when evaluating institutions. For instance, with a high student intake, NDIM may not necessarily guarantee quality placements. Checking LinkedIn for reviews from alumni may offer a more accurate perspective.
Lastly, be mindful when considering IMS G as there have been reports of dissatisfaction with placements among current and former students. It may be wise to consult LinkedIn for reviews and make an informed decision, as the investment in your education is significant.
I've a profile based call from SPJIMR for marketing. I'm a fresher and belong to biology stream. I do, however, have very strong acads and extra-curriculars. Is there a chance of conversion?
It would have helped if you had mentioned your CAT percentile but if you have got a profile-based call the ball is technically in your court, your good academic profile and extracurricular background would certainly give you enough topics to discuss in your GDPI process. And keep in mind that today most of the B-Schools are diversifying their students profiles which again gives you an edge because of your biology background.
SPJIMR usually has a cutoff of around 85 percentile in CAT for profile-based shortlisting and you gotta outperform others in the further rounds if your percentile is anywhere between 85-90.
What would you choose between IMT Ghaziabad and IIM Visakhapatnam if you are interested in marketing and have an experience of 2+ years?
If you are interested in marketing with 2+ years of work experience then, IMT Ghaziabad should be your choice. IMT Ghaziabad’s pedagogy has 6 terms, of which 3 terms focused on courses applicable to all students. Once the student enters Term IV after the internship they are offered specialization courses.The exposure to electives helps students gain knowledge and understanding of the marketing domain.
Placements in the marketing domain are the best at IMT Ghaziabad. I have provided a comparative view of the placement statistics of the previous year and this year which shows an increase of 13.4% to last year’s average CTC.

Which is better NMIMS Bangalore or Great Lakes Gurgaon PGPM, for someone who wants to switch from IT to marketing?
NMIMS Bangalore is better than Great Lakes Gurgaon PGPM, and Great Lakes’s Manipal campus is only better.
The other campuses at Great Lakes are still in the growing stage, so I would suggest you not to choose them. Instead, you can opt for NMIMS, the faculties there are experienced, and they have industry exposure as well, plus you have a location advantage. Many companies have their offices in Bangalore, so it would be easy for you to grab a placement there. NMIMS also has a great student culture from various clubs and committees you can groom yourself.

What courses should I do before pursuing an MBA at IIM Sambalpur if I have an interest in finance and marketing?
It is completely normal to have an interest in both finance and marketing, as they are both important and widely applicable areas of business. To explore your interest in finance, there are many short, introductory courses available on platforms like Udemy that can be completed at a relatively low cost, such as for no more than INR 500. Additionally, you can read basic finance books from any commerce background to gain a solid foundation in the subject. Similarly, for marketing, there are many courses available on platforms like Udemy, as well as other sites. However, it is worth considering that pursuing an MBA program with a fresh mind and an open outlook for many possibilities may be beneficial for gaining a comprehensive understanding of marketing.
In addition to gaining specialized knowledge in finance and marketing, it is also important to have a good understanding of MS Excel and Powerpoint. These skills are widely used in the business world and will be beneficial for any professional in any vertical or specialization.
TAPMI or KJ SOMAIYA, which college has better placements for marketing profile?
Both TAPMI and KJ SOMAIYA are at par when comparing marketing curriculum and faculty, but overall TAPMI is slightly better when comparing the highest, median and mean packages and placements.
Below is a table showing the fees, highest salary package, and average salary package;

INR 22.50 LPA |
INR 12.28 LPA |
This is overall data though. TAPMI has better RoI between the two, but the decision is ultimately yours which will depend on your goals, preferences, and any constraints you have.
Which IIM is better if I want to pursue MBA in marketing, IIM RAIPUR or IIM ROHTAK?
Both the IIMs, IIM Rohtak and IIM Raipur give an edge to each other in the sense that they have similar faculty, teaching methodology, rankings, placements, and brand value.
However, IIM Rohtak has a locational advantage being situated in the NCR region. This attracts more corporates and companies for placements. It also has a bigger batch size than IIM Rohtak and a strong alumni base.
Ultimately it’s you who decides the B School that is most suitable for you. Both these IIMs are almost similar but I have to say IIM Rohtak gives a slight edge to IIM Raipur.
Which is relatively better for marketing, TAPMI or BIM Trichy?
If you want certain features like high-quality infrastructure, a diverse student body, or a wonderful location, BIM may not be the best choice.
However, BIM is a good choice if you want to learn management in its purest form, study with famous professors, have a high return on investment, experience southern Indian culture, enjoy a variety of extracurricular events & an active nightlife, and have great job opportunities, including at McKinsey, Asian Paints, and E&Y. BIM as a business school is great, but it may not suit everyone.
