Which is better, XLRI GM (GMP) or SPJIMR PGPM in terms of placements and exposure?

TS
Trisha Somwanshi Posted On : March 16th, 2023
Studied at SPJIMR

If you are considering pursuing a One-year MBA in India, it is essential to set your expectations correctly. Doing so will ease your decision-making process.

When comparing SPJIMR and XLRI, both schools have good credentials and carry equally eminent faculty. However, there are some differences that become apparent when we dig deeper.

  • SPJIMR has a location advantage compared to XLRI. Since the one-year program has a much faster pace, SPJIMR's presence in the financial capital of the country gives it unparalleled access to a larger industrial connection.
  • SPJIMR is the only B-school in the country that creates specialization cohorts in the batch right from the beginning. In contrast, XLRI GMP is more of a general management program. Therefore, if you prefer more precise and focused learning, SPJIMR PGPM might be the better option.
  • SPJIMR is known for its diversity policy, which is reflected not only in its batch profile but also in the faculty profile. The PGPM batch carries a healthy mix of professionals from all walks of life.
  • In terms of fees, the PGPM one-year all-inclusive fee is just shy of 20 Lakhs, whereas that of XL GMP is around 25k. 
  • The PGPM program at SPJIMR has one of the most dedicated Placement Support teams in the country. If placements are a significant concern for you, this might be a deciding factor.


 

In summary, when deciding between SPJIMR and XLRI, it is crucial to consider factors such as location advantage, specialization cohorts, diversity policy, fees, and placement support.

What do I have to do to get a call from SP Jain or XIMB?

MJ
Manu Jha Posted On : March 13th, 2023
PGDRM, PRM38 from Institute of Rural Management, Anand

My answer will be strictly pertaining to SP Jain as my sister is a student there and I have quite a lot of information about the admission criteria there. SP Jain has unique criteria wherein almost 70% of the parameters are uncontrollable. Some of them include 

  • Past Academic Record
  • Nature of work experience and employee brand value 
  • Extracurricular background 
  • Diversity of profile

These are some factors that are hardly in one’s control. So one should not be disappointed if she/he lacks in these aspects. Well, it is now that the factors that are controllable come into the picture. You can work on these factors and compensate for the flaws in your profile 

  • Prepare for CAT/XAT/GMAT to the best of your ability.
  • Filling out the application form with a genuine portrayal of your personality and candidature in the fields where you are asked about your versatility, leadership quality etc.

If the stars align, you will surely get a call. From what I have heard, every PGDM batch has students with both exception profiles as well as normal profiles. So what you need to focus on is finding a unique trait of yourself and working on it relentlessly.

Which is a better option, IIM Shillong or S P Jain Mumbai?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : March 15th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Both IIM Shillong and S P Jain Mumbai are highly regarded management institutes in India. IIM Shillong is a government-owned institution and one of the top-ranked management institutes in the country. It offers a two-year Post Graduate Program in Management (PGPM) that provides students with a solid foundation in management education.

S P Jain Mumbai, on the other hand, is a private institution that offers various management programs, including a two-year full-time PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) program, which is equivalent to an MBA degree. It has been consistently ranked among the top business schools in India and has a strong global reputation.

When deciding between IIM Shillong and S P Jain Mumbai, you should consider factors such as program structure, curriculum, faculty, campus facilities, location, and placement records. You may also want to research the alumni network of both institutions and the industry partnerships they have to gain insights into the career opportunities they offer.

However, it will be suggested to enroll in SP Jain Mumbai, rather than IIM Shillong.

Which college is better for an MBA in Marketing - JBIMS, SP JAIN or MDI Gurgaon in all various aspects and I have converted all three?

SC
Sathwik Chandra Posted On : February 21st, 2023
MBA in Master of Business Administration Degrees, Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi (Graduated 2017)

My personal preference is MDI Gurgaon among all the colleges you have mentioned. This institute excels in many aspects when compared to other B Schools. 

Placements: Placements at MDI Gurgaon are much better than JBIMS and SP Jain. The table below has proven the same through statistics.

Particulars 

SP Jain

JBIMS

MDI Gurgaon 

Number of Recruiters

Highest CTC

INR 53.16 LPA

INR 26.65 LPA

Top Recruiters 

Accenture, Aditya Birla Capital, Amazon, American Express

Microsoft, Google, HCL, Adobe

Faculty: Without any doubt, MDI Gurgaon has the best faculty in the whole of India. It comprises the most learned personalities in the industry. It has around 80 nationally and internationally acclaimed faculty.

Corporate talks: Owing to its location in a metro city, MDI has a lot of corporate talks that are way ahead of normal guest lectures and add to the overall experience of the students. You may even find MD/CXO level folks from Deloitte/ColPal visiting and giving Corporate talks.

Clubs: MDI runs its own Mutual Fund Unnati where students get to learn the tactics of investing in stocks. Illumina is a rural marketing research concept where students get to learn consumer behavior first hand.

Exchange Program: The highlight of MDI Gurgaon is its exchange program is the best in the country. MDI has partnered with several foreign countries and students have to choose from them. MDI’s PGPIM program gives you a dual degree with 1 year in MDI and 1 year with ESCP Europe among various other options. Students completed their internships in European countries and secured International Job offers and settled abroad after this program.

All these major factors are more than enough to convince you against joining other B Schools if you have converted MDI Gurgaon. I have seen many students forgoing offers even from IIM Kozhikode and IIM Indore just for MDI Gurgaon.

What is the difference between score-based and profile-based calls in SPJIMR?

TS
Trisha Somwanshi Posted On : March 17th, 2023
Studied at SPJIMR

To ensure that you understand the application process and the criteria for final selection, here are the differentiating factors between score-based and profile-based calls in SPJIMR you need to know:

  • The initial application form is the same for everyone, and it includes academic achievements, work experience relevance, and versatility. If your profile stands out from the rest of the applicant pool, SPJIMR will give you an interview call even before the CAT/XAT result is out.
  • If you receive a profile-based call, you must meet a minimum overall percentile of 85% and above 70% percentile in sectionals in CAT/XAT to keep the call valid. If you do not meet these criteria, the call stands canceled.
  • Once you receive a profile-based call, you have the option to choose early interviews at the SP campus itself, where only profile call-getters are called. Otherwise, you can also choose to come later with the score-based call-getters.
  • For score-based call-getters, the process of getting a call is slightly different than the above. Once CAT/XAT results are out, SPJIMR shortlists candidates based on their percentile (cutoff hovers around 96-97) and profile and then give out the score-based calls which are essentially profile-cum-score based calls.
  • The remaining part of the process remains the same for both profile-based and score-based call-getters, which involves conducting the interview and getting selected.
  • The final conversion depends on a combined result of academics, work experience relevance, achievements, versatility, CAT/XAT/GMAT score, psychometric test, WAT, GI 1, GI 2, and positioning in the applicant pool. This criterion remains the same, irrespective of whether you were a profile-based convert or a score-based convert. 

Overall, SPJIMR follows a rigorous and fair selection process that evaluates all aspects of your profile and potential to succeed in their program. Therefore, it is important to understand the criteria and prepare accordingly to increase your chances of getting admitted.
