Structured and disciplined study is best for SNAP 2024. Preparation tips:

- Join an MBA entrance test coaching institute if you can't prepare on your own. To prepare for the exam, they offer structured assistance, study material, and practise examinations.

Which is best for MBA HR: SIBM Pune or NMIMS Mumbai or SCMHRD?
The colleges that you have mentioned are quite old and reputed, leaving behind a history of a great placement record and a bright future.
Human Resources has become a promising field in today’s time. A good HR assures that the aspects of the business they work for proves to be fulfilled along with allowing the employees their own space wherein they give importance to the clients.
Based on certain parameters, allow me to compare all the three institutes so that it gets convenient to choose the B-School of your choice.
| Categories | SIBM Pune | NMIMS Mumbai | SCMHRD |
| Course Fee | 17.26 lakh | 6.04 lakh | 11.94 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 35 LPA | 16 LPA | 18-21 LPA |
| Average CTC | 18 LPA | 8 LPA | 10 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Crisil, HSBC, etc. | Berger, ITC, etc. | Mindtree, ICICI Bank, etc. |
My suggestion would be to consider NMAT and even SNAP so that you get a better view to choose from. Some promising prospects are indeed offered by NMIMS and SIBM-P, but I believe you should go for that particular institute which is reputed for its HR department.

Should I join NMIMS Mumbai (MBA core) or wait for another year
Waiting for another year and dropping NMIMS is only justifiable if you are certain to get into the top 5 like IIM ABC and FMS. Otherwise forgoing this opportunity might not be a wise decision mainly because
- Your work experience of 22 months is the right time to do an MBA
- CAT is extremely certain. You might have been able to make it into NMIMS, but there is no guarantee you will be able to clear CAT next year again
- NMIMS has a 100% placement percentage so you will definitely end up with a good package
- The brand name is more than enough to add to your CV
Moreover, if you are willing to enter the Marketing sector, it’s still not late as FMCG don’t prefer candidates with much work experience. But if you are interested in Strategic Management, you can wait for a year and target the top 5 B Schools.
So the end note is, forgo the offer if you are certain you can make it into the top 5 else grab this opportunity.

How good is PGDM- Full time at IMT Ghaziabad with almost 4 years work ex?
IMT Ghaziabad placement and admission process both lay great emphasis on Work Experience. So your work experience of 4 years will define work in your favor not only during the GE-PI rounds but during placements also.
One way to determine if your admission will be worth leaving your job is to calculate your ROI (Fees vs Avg CTC *2 with 2 yrs of loss in pay based on your existing CTC).
If you are confident enough you target other better B Schools also for wider prospects.
