Among the above two institutes, PGDM in International Business at FORE is definitely a better option, considering the placement statistics of recent years. The points below give a brief overview of the key highlights of the FORE School of Management, along with its major advantages over LBSIM.
Therefore, the FORE School of Business offers an excellent PGDM International Business program, which has decent placement and ample opportunities for students.
Yes, FORE School of Management usually reopens registration after CAT results are declared. In fact, many tier 2 B-Schools do the same after CAT results are announced to extend another chance to the students aspiring to pursue MBA.
However, keep in mind that the decision of reopening the application process lies entirely with the institute.
FMS, MDI, and TAPMI are very good and reputed colleges and a student needs to be very good in academics to get admission to any of these colleges.
Hence, with these scores, your chances of getting admission in FMS, MDI, or TAPMI are very good and so you must prepare for your interview round very well so that you can finally get admission to your desired college.
Preparation is key to succeed in GDPI, WAT, and Extempore. So, here are a few suggestions that might help:
If you are a Delhi resident and don't want to go to Manipal, then you can opt for FORE, as both the institute are almost similar. TAPMI offers slightly better placements, but you can always get good placements from FORE if you work hard.
Both institute has similar fee structure as well, and you would spend a little extra in hostels and mess if you opt for TAPMI you can save if you stay at your home in Delhi.
GLIM, GIM, FORE, and LIBA offer general MBAs. So, you can your preferred specialization during your second year. This will give you a lot of freedom in terms of choosing your industry and job profile. All of these are good options. FORE has a great industry interface. Located in Delhi/NCR, it also enjoys a locational advantage.
Your preference order for these four B-School should be - FORE=GIM>GLIM>LIBA.
NIBM is a sectoral B-School, so choose it only if you are interested in joining the banking sector. Though IIFM isn’t a sectoral B-School, it is only known for its finance specialization. It is also rated below FORE, GIM, GLIM, and LIBA.
When it comes to PGDM, IMT is preferable to both colleges. DCP, however, might not be the best option because of its expensive price and unpredictable placements. In terms of the caliber of placements and courses, I believe FORE and TAPMI are pretty comparable. Compared to FORE, TAPMI has a locational disadvantage but has a lesser fee compared to FORE so TAPMI offers a better ROI.
