Is it worth doing an MBA from SIBM Pune, SCMHRD Pune or NMIMS Mumbai after 2 years of job experience in IT?

SB
Soutrik Bose Posted On : May 17th, 2021
MBA Marketing, Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune

Yes, it’s worth it. In some cases, it is even essential to do an MBA after having 2 years of work experience in IT. 

  • There are different kinds of people in IT sectors, some who like the technicalities of IT and some don't like that. People who like the technicalities of IT will settle in just a couple of years by learning to code brilliantly and achieve their goals. 
  • Other people are just the opposite; they are always left feeling that they are missing something. MBA adds value to your resume and helps you to change your career. 

I know a few people from SIBM Pane, so I can tell you about the MBA program offered by them. 

  • My friends at the institute have peers who come with work experience in the IT sector and are going to be working in big FMCG brands in the summers. 
  • SIBM Pune had an average CTC of around 20.14 LPA. The average internship stipend offered in the summer internship for 2018-20 was around 1.66 lacs for just two months and above 55% of students got offers for 1.5 lacs around. The highest stipend offered was 3 lacs. 

Also, MBA can be a much-needed break for many with corporate careers. It’s a fun experience, you will get to learn a lot through many corporate interactions.

Please give an honest review for the NMIMS Mumbai campus for the BTech program?

AS
Anubhuti Shekhar Posted On : March 9th, 2023
Graduate candidate at Thunderbird School of Global Management

If you attend this college, you'll find that it caters to an expensive, cushy, rich crowd. However, whether or not you actually learn anything will be up to you, as the classes can be quite lax. You'll need to maintain 805 attendance, which is compulsory.

On the bright side, the teachers are good and there are decent placement opportunities, especially when compared to other colleges. There are also various opportunities available, but keep in mind that money talks here, so be prepared to fend for yourself. The course itself is okay, much like most engineering colleges, but the labs and equipment are good and the infrastructure is solid.

Overall, if you choose to attend this college, you'll find that it's like any good engineering college with a higher fee. Just remember to stay focused and take advantage of the resources available to you. With hard work and dedication, you can succeed and thrive in this environment.

What are the chances in getting into NMIMS if you are waitlisted?

HS
Harish Shah Posted On : March 13th, 2023
MSc Finance in Finance, SVKM's NMIMS (Graduated 2019)

If you are considering admission to a program, it may be worth keeping in mind that waiting for a few days does not typically come at a high cost unless you have a specific reason why you need to have a definite result immediately. It is possible that some people who were granted admission may not end up accepting the offer for various reasons, such as receiving acceptance to another program or encountering unforeseen circumstances. This may open up opportunities for individuals who are on a waitlist or have not yet received a final decision.

If you are in a position where you can wait, it may be beneficial to do so. Waiting can provide additional time to evaluate your options and make a more informed decision. It may also give you the chance to explore other opportunities or to improve your credentials before making a commitment.

Here are complete details regarding NMIMS cutoff

Ultimately, it's important to make a decision that is best for you and aligns with your goals and aspirations. If waiting is a viable option, it may be worthwhile to exercise patience and see how the situation unfolds.

For MBA in HR, should one choose NMIMS Mumbai or XIMB?

SS
Samriddhi Sarkar Posted On : May 28th, 2021
MBA from SVKM's NMIMS (2019)

Having friends in both institutions, I suggest you to go NMIMS Mumbai. XIMB HR has recently switched their name from XIMB to XaHR. This cost them a lot in terms of placements. All of the companies, instead of reaching out to XIMB are showing up at NMIMS Mumbai boosting their demand day by day. 

If I were to compare both the colleges based on certain parameters, I would say:

  • Batch: The batch size at NMIMS is 60 which are admitted on grounds of strict merit. On the other hand, XIMB takes in candidates on reservation grounds. 
  • Location: If you have decided to reach Mumbai for your MBA, no doubt that it is indeed the best place. NMIMS provides better corporate interface and project opportunities. 

Placements -

Recruiting Companies

Nestle, Berger, HSBC, American Express, etc.

Some of my friends who were on the wait-list of XIMB decided to switch to NMIMS eventually. And some of them withdrew their names from the wait-list just to reach other colleges (these were in the lower-tier) but not XIMB. Even the students who are already studying at XIMB advise others to not reach there.

How prestigious is JBIMS as a college when we look at all of the India rankings? It doesn’t have very good ranks when I Google the best MBA colleges in India. Is NMIMS better than JBIMS?

YV
Yashluv Virwani Posted On : February 28th, 2023
Post Graduation in Master of Business Administration Degrees & Marketing, Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (Graduated 2018)

JBIMS' overall ranking on Google is impacted by its infrastructure, as the current building is a 1965 construction. However, the construction of a new state-of-the-art facility at Kalina is underway, which will improve JBIMS' ranking in terms of infrastructure.

In terms of return on investment, JBIMS stands out as you pay only 2 lakhs for the entire course and receive an average placement package of 18 LPA. This is a better return than many other top B-Schools, including some IIMs.

JBIMS boasts a strong alumni network, industry-expert faculty, and an ideal location, which are all factors that contribute to its success.

When comparing JBIMS to NMIMS, it can be said that JBIMS is a better choice, with a lower fee structure, a better return on investment, a strong alumni network, and a more experienced faculty. Additionally, JBIMS has a smaller batch size of 120 students, which makes it easier for the college to place its students in top companies.

Akriti Gupta Posted On : May 2nd, 2023
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Both Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (JBIMS) and NMIMS School of Business Management (SBM) are well-known and reputable business schools in India.

JBIMS is located in Mumbai and is affiliated with the University of Mumbai. It has a strong alumni network and is well-known for its finance and marketing programs. NMIMS, on the other hand, is a private university located in Mumbai and has campuses in other cities as well. It is known for its management programs and has been consistently ranked among the top B-schools in India.

How is NMIMS currently? What is the placement package?

SD
Sritama Dutta Posted On : January 25th, 2022
MBA Marketing, SVKM's NMIMS (2020)

NMIMS Mumbai is one of the most reputed B-Schools in the country. It is well-established and has a significant industry reputation. It has a vast alumni base, great faculties, and excellent placement statistics. As it is located in Mumbai, students get great industry exposure. 

It is mostly known for its Marketing, Finance, IT, and Operations specializations. Companies also offer general management roles in the placement drive. But due to the vast batch size, only a handful of people can get such opportunities. In terms of ROI, it is a bit expensive compared to the other B-Schools in the same league. The living cost of Mumbai plays a huge role in that.
