Should I go for MDI Gurgaon, if I am already earning 7lpa keeping in mind the fees, and are the placements good enough to cover my opportunity cost for the 2 years?
If you are already earning a salary as high as INR 71 LPA, I don’t think an MBA from MDI Gurgaon will do you any good. If you have decided on going for an MBA nevertheless, target the top B Schools like IIM A, IIM B, IIM C, XLRI, FMS, or IIM L. Choosing MDI for MBA is recommended only if you have offers from average B Schools like new IIMs, SPJIMR, NITIE, etc.
So first you need to get maximum calls from the top B Schools only then can you make a wise and informed decision.
Is it advisable to settle on JBIMS, if one only aimed for IIM's?
Comparing JBIMS with IIMs is highly unjustified as IIMs are way ahead of JBIMS or FMS even if we consider the ROI. They are unique in many aspects such as
- IIM ABC and ISB is the only B-schools that offer Investment banking profiles in placement. Even if we look at other profiles, it’s easy to infer that they are much superior in terms of quality than the ones offered at JBIMS.
- Being a pass out of IIMs or ISB, you have an upper hand in the higher spectrum of one’s career, i.e, leadership roles.
- JBIMS or FMS lack the general ambiance and culture of a typical B School due to a lack of residential and campus facilities.
- The peer quality of IIMS and ISB are much better than JBIMS whose gender ratio, diversity, and competitive exam are very one-dimensional.
- The only significant aspect of JBIMS is the ROI which when negated makes JBIMS as mediocre as SP Jain and MDI.
- The placement statistics of JBIMS are much similar to that of new IIMs or average B Schools like MDI, and SP Jain. They are in no way in comparison to the top IIMs even with batch sizes as small as 120.
So one should choose JBIMS or FMS over IIM only if one wants to spend low fees, take no loans, or pursue MBA in Mumbai or Delhi.
Which branch and college did you get in the CSAB round 1 of counseling in 2019, and at what rank?
One of my friends got MNIT Jaipur Computer Science in the CSAB round 1 of counseling. He had filled in the following four choices-
- MNIT Jaipur -CS
- IIIT Allahabad- IT
- SVNIT Surat - CS
- VNIT Nagpur- CS
He knew that if he failed to make it into any of these, he would have to join BITS leaving everything. He however had hoped to get into MNIT Jaipur as it had a vacancy for OS GEN EWS Quota. The Round 7 EWS cutoff was 572 and his rank was 596. Luckily, he was able to make it after a long wait of two days.
What happens in KIIT counselling?
This is a pressing question for most freshers. Most of the new students remain curious about the KIIT counseling.
First of all, you will have to report to the venue on the stated date and time. You will be seated at a particular place with the other candidates and over there, verification of all the candidates will be done. Candidates will be called in groups to the Convention Centre, Campus-6 auditorium, based on ranks.
Once there, you will be given a form in which you will fill in the necessary details including the branch that you wish to opt for (Choice 1, 2, and so on). There will be a speech after which you and the other candidates will be called in the front, on the basis of ranks or according to some serial number. In the front, there are counters.
In these counters, you need to submit the required documents like statement of marks, TC, Migration, Photographs, DD, etc. After this step, you will be given a receipt of the amount that you have deposited, a provisional admission letter, and some other documents.
With this, your admission process into KIIT will be completed. KIIT also provides buses for a campus tour.
What should be the order of colleges for choice filling in MP DTE counselling among SGSITS, IET-DAVV, JEC, and MITS?
Well, it completely depends on you and what type of college you want to take admission to. However, consideration is always for the college’s placement process, branch, reputation, and location.
Every one of you must have different desires regarding your aspirations for educational institutes. It mainly includes good placement opportunities and location. Thereby, it is important that you must choose the institutes which will cover all your preferences. You can fill this in admission counseling.
One of my friends has filled up for MPDTE counseling the previous year in the following way:
- SGSITS Indore
- MITS Gwalior (In this institute, my friend got selected, and that is also in the 1st counseling)
- IET DAVV Indore
- JEC Jabalpur
In the following, a brief overview of these mentioned institutes are given:

You should decide as per your subject choices because some of the branches are good enough then its reputation and ranks in some colleges.
Besides, it can be mentioned that you must choose the city first over college. The reason behind is that all of these are the Government institutes, so, at the end the degree matter, because you need to study on your own.
Indore must be your first preference as it has huge exposure than the other cities. The maximum number of placements will be happening in this city during your final year. Everybody wants to be recruited by the companies at the end of their course, which is less in the case of JEC and MITS.
Should I join IIM Indore's one-year MBA course (EPGP) or continue working, given the bad placement scenario for the course? Or should I try for better colleges in India?
The placement opportunities for an Executive MBA at IIM Indore or In fact any other IIM are very limited. They depend on the batch itself and may be good or bad depending on the current batch profile and expectations. Moreover, people don’t pursue EMBA to get placed in a high salary package. They already have a job with a high package. What they are looking for is an enhancement of their managerial skills and the IIM tag.
So I will not recommend you leave your high-paying job and pursue EMBA especially if you are looking for a better CTC. Not even other B Schools will get you a high package right off the bat. But if you are still adamant about pursuing the program you may take a study leave I suggest.
An MBA helps you in the long run and not instantly. You should be willing to take the risk for maximum results.
Can I open a counseling center after doing a Master's in clinical psychology from IGNOU?
Psychology requires much more than just degrees and professional qualifications. Understanding human behavior, underlying psychology, age-related development, and distortions are important, as is understanding the behavior of those around you. Psychologists both influence and are influenced by their patients. A thorough understanding is required for effective therapy planning and implementation.
You can try as an Inclusion Facilitator at a regular school with a reputation for excellence. You will get to assist children with autism, and witness the significant transformation of their social behavior, academics, eating habits, and play behavior. You can try it if you have experience caring for children.
MA degrees are required for school psychologists.
Because special educators and shadow teachers are mostly hired by parents, their qualifications and other requirements are not stringent. Nonetheless, knowledge, skills, and experience are critical for making good therapeutic progress.

Which IIM should I prefer out of IIM Udaipur, IIM Trichy, and IIM Ranchi?
I think that Udaipur is one of the most underrated IIMs. To elaborate on this point let me enlighten you with some amazing facts about it
- IIM Udaipur is the youngest B-school in the world to rank in the top 100 FT(Financial Times) Masters in Management ranking globally.
- It ranks better than IIM Indore

It is due to its high-quality research that many excellent permanent faculty has become a part of IIM Udaipur. This does not make it the best IIM but still, it is heading toward becoming the best.

Is an MSW from IGNOU University beneficial or not?
No. If you want proper exposure you should opt for MSW from a regular college. Only bookish knowledge is not enough for MSW. This is because when you work on some real business you fail to connect the dots and apply the knowledge practically.
Proper practical exposure teaches you a lot more than just books. It prepares you for the worst-case scenario. The trick is to gain knowledge in the best possible way to gain the maximum benefits.
