Both IMT Ghaziabad and GIM Goa are highly reputable institutes for post-graduation in marketing. Both institutes have a strong track record of producing high-quality graduates who are well-equipped to excel in the marketing field. However, when considering which program to pursue, there are several factors to take into account such as the quality of students passing out of these colleges, placement opportunities and profiles that interest you, and your academic scores.

It is recommended to research and speak with students from both institutes, as well as professionals in the field, to gain a better understanding of the curriculum, faculty, and alumni network of each institute. Additionally, if you have poor academic scores, it might be a good idea to consider a program with fewer students, to increase your chances of success. Furthermore, if you have more work experience, it would be a good idea to look into IMT Ghaziabad as it offers various opportunities for students with more experience.

IMT Ghaziabad is considered to be a tier above GIM Goa in terms of ranking, brand perception, placements, and opportunities. It is ranked in the same tier as the new IIMs, SIBM, NMIMS, XIMB, SCMHRD, and MICA. Additionally, IMT Ghaziabad is known for having a strong focus on marketing as its forte. On the other hand, GIM Goa falls in the category of institutes such as KJ, Fore, BIM, etc. It is important to do your research well and make an informed decision based on your career aspirations and goals.

I am a general category non engineer fresher who scored 89.5 percentile in the CAT. Can I get a call from GIM? Also which college is better between TAPMI and FORE in terms of placements and ROI?

TA

To get admission in GIM Goa, I think 89.5 percentile and general non-engineer is a decent profile. People start to get admissions into baby IIMs from 93-94 percentile, so it seems easy at this profile all you need to do is excel in the interview and group discussion (if GIM organizes one). 

Between TAPMI and FORE, you can go for TAPMI, as it offers good placements and a good lifestyle, FORE is also a good option if you are a Delhi or nearby resident I would suggest opting for FORE, as the ROI for both the institutes are almost identical. Still, apart from ROI, TAPMI excels in other parameters.

Which college would be best between management colleges like TAPMI Manipal, GOA Institute of Management, Great Lakes Chennai, and FORE Institute Delhi?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : April 18th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Based on location, reputation, and potential for job placement, the first college on the list, "Great Lakes," is the best, but it is only for people with work experience and not for freshers. 

"FORE," located in Delhi, is the second best college and its institutional location makes industry exposure easy. 

"Goa Institute," is not as good as the first two but still has good characteristics. 

Last on the list is "TAPMI," which lacks a strong alumni base, and its graduates may have less networking and job chances than graduates from other universities with larger alumni networks.

Which is the best college between SIMSREE, IBS Hyderabad, GIM and SIBM Bangalore?

YD
Yaseer Das Posted On : March 6th, 2023
MBA in Marketing, ICFAI Business School, Hyderabad (Graduated 2018)

It is recommended that you keep SIMSREE and GIM at the top of your list of colleges to consider. Both of these colleges have a strong reputation and are well known for providing quality education in the field of management.

While IBS Hyderabad may also be worth considering, it is important to keep in mind that each college has its own strengths and weaknesses. It may be more suitable for some students based on their individual needs and goals, while it may not be the best fit for others.

On the other hand, SIBM Bangalore should not be included in your list of colleges to compare. There may be various reasons why this college is not as highly ranked as the other colleges mentioned, and it may not provide the same level of education and resources as the other colleges.

In conclusion, it is important to carefully consider all factors and make an informed decision based on your individual needs and goals. Take the time to research each college and weigh the pros and cons to determine the best fit for you.
