How are the MBAs in HR placements at JBIMS?
My sister completed her MBA from JBIMS last year and says that no one from her batch had taken HR as their specialization. Therefore HR profiles are rarely offered during placements. But once or twice the HR profiles were opened up in the college as 2-3 students were willing to go for it.
But we cannot deny the fact that it will take a tremendous amount of time for college to build a reputation in HR and hence attract top job profiles in the domain.
My personal suggestion would be that if JBIMS decides to start a full-time specialized program in HR, it would greatly benefit the entire MMS program by attracting better profiles during placements, for all the streams in general.

What is the placement package for an MBA in Pondicherry University?
I have a few friends from Pondicherry University, and according to them, for Insurance Management, the average salary package offered is around INR 5 LPA. The placement percentage is 94%.
Here is a brief overview of the current placement statistics of Pondicherry University.
| Highest Salary Package | INR 10.20 LPA |
| Average Salary Package | INR 3-4 LPA |
| Top Recruiting Companies | TCS, Syntel, CTS, Accenture, Infosys, Wipro, HSBC, ICICI |
But for MBA tourism, the package is relatively lower than anticipated. However, the placement percentage touches the 100% mark in contrast to other branches. For other MBA branches, the salary package is considerably low as well, amounting to around INR 5 LPA or INR 6 LPA.
Why are Delhi School of Economics and other better ROI colleges (like JBIMS and many more) for an MBA not as popular as FMS?
I have a friend who completed his MBA from the Delhi School of Economics. This answer is based on his opinions about why colleges with better ROI like DSE and JBIMS fail to compete with FMS. He has listed a few reasons for the lack of popularity of such B-schools:
- Establishment: DSE MBA first began in 1986 whereas FMS was established in 1954. So the course and the institute are the oldest in the FMS case.
- Alumni: Being an older Institute, FMS has a much stronger alumni network that has built a certain level of credibility in the corporate world. This criterion is missing in the case of DSE.
- Courses offered: Until 2015, DSE offered courses like Master of Organization Development and Human Resources and Master of International Business instead of MBA. Firstly these specializations are not at par with Finance and Marketing. Secondly, MBA has more value than MHROD and MHIB.
- Industrial relations: FMS is much more exposed to the industry and has excellent relations with the corporate world owing to a large number of its alumni.
- Faculty: The faculty is almost similar as both DSE and FMS operate under DU. But the shortcomings are compensated for at FMS via the compulsory guest lectures by industry experts.
- Crowd: The extremely high cutoff ensures only the most talented people enter FMS thereby increasing the quality of education and peer learning experience at FMS. This aspect too is pretty weak in the case of DSE.
It is because of these strong factors that B Schools like JBIMS fail to match the level of popularity enjoyed by FMS.
Why are Delhi School of Economics and other better ROI colleges like JBIMS and many more for an MBA not as popular as FMS?
Here are some of the reasons that should be mentioned:
- DSE MBA was founded in 1986, whereas FMS was founded in 1954.
- An older institute has more alumni to leverage for placements and thus more alumni to build credibility in the institute branding.
- Until 2015, DSE offered a "Master" degree in HR/OD and IB, titled Master of Organization Development and Human Resources and Master of International Business. Two things stand out: i) HR/OD and IB are niche areas to enter in comparison to an MBA-Fin and MBA-Marketing. ii) A MHROD/MIB has lower popularity than an MBA.
- FMS has significantly more industry exposure than DSE, owing primarily to alumni/family of alumni/friends of alumni.
- Quality of Faculty: Though both FMS and DSE are run by DU, what DU lacks in academic-focused faculty is more than made up for in FMS, which has regular mandatory industry guest lecturers.
- The higher cut-off in FMS (relative to DSE) year after year ensures (though is not guaranteed) a certain quality benchmark of students coming in, leading to increased competition and peer learning. Something DSE could think about.
How is a PGDM at IMT CDL Ghaziabad? I have more than 8 years of experience.
PGDM from IMT CDL Ghaziabad will not add-up any value to your profile. Having more than eight years of job experience and pursuing PGDM from the centre of distance learning seems a waste of time. It will be only for the namesake without any benefit to your career.
The program is for 2 years, having a fee of Rs. 1.40 Lakh. The specializations include Finance, Marketing, Operations, Business Analytics, and Human Resource. There are 14 credits and four semesters. There are 15 core courses and 16 elective courses.
By looking at your profile, the best suggestion would be to consider the executive program in Sales and Marketing from IIM Calcutta.
The features of the program are discussed below:
- The fee of the course is Rs. 3.20 Lakhs. An additional campus fee of Rs. 32000 for 4 days of campus component.
- The duration of the part-program is 1 year.
- Minimum 24 months of experience is required.
The main advantage of choosing the IIM Calcutta program over other distance programs is that you will get Alumni status from the brand of IIM. The distance programs from other institutes are of no use until and unless it is from ISB/IIMs.

What percentage of the total batch of MBAs at IIM Lucknow go for a foreign semester exchange in their second year?
Typically, 50-60 students from a batch of about 450 at IIM Lucknow go abroad for an exchange term. At IIM Lucknow, it's known as the Student Exchange Program, or simply Stex. IIM L does not have affiliations with many prestigious business schools around the world. It has no affiliations with any schools in North America, with the exception of one or two in Canada. The majority of the schools with which it has collaborations are of average or poor quality in Europe.
So, either you should have a stellar profile, including your GPA in your first year at IIML, to get into a good school for Stex, or you should consider going to Stex for a three-month Europe tour with a complimentary term abroad to bring back some credits after you are done vacationing in Europe. If you're looking for good exchange programs, you should probably look into better B-schools in India like IIM A, B, C, or ISB.
