Does IIM Raipur provide a digital marketing course?
The growth of digital technology, particularly the widespread use of computers and smartphones, has led businesses to experiment with new marketing methods, resulting in the emergence of digital marketing. Today, Digital Marketing is just as important, if not more so, than traditional marketing approaches and this gap is likely to widen over time as organizations shift their marketing budgets from traditional to digital channels.
It is crucial for companies to develop and implement an effective digital marketing strategy. One option for gaining the necessary skills and knowledge is through digital marketing training programs. Digital Vidya is one of the most reputable digital marketing training institutes in India and abroad, offering a range of digital marketing courses for a variety of audiences, including beginners, working professionals, and business owners. These programs include an up-to-date curriculum, 100% practical exposure through internships and employment opportunities, and real-world assignments.
Entrepreneurs can benefit from digital marketing by launching their own online business with a modest investment, targeting specific audiences based on time and day of the week, and having complete control over advertising spending, which can lead to a high return on investment. Job seekers can improve their chances of landing their dream job by gaining digital marketing skills and working professionals can improve their marketing skills and earn money online as part-time freelancers. The predicted growth in digital marketing jobs between 2019 and 2022, with an estimated 35+ lakhs available, opens up opportunities for professionals to be placed in top multinational corporations.
IIM Raipur also offers an Executive Certificate Program in Digital Marketing and Social Media Strategy. It is a 5-month certificate program that provides an up-to-date, in-depth understanding of the rapidly evolving field of digital marketing. The course covers the technical and behavioral principles of digital marketing tactics, online customer behavior, and the investigation of issues related to company practices, allowing participants to develop powerful digital marketing strategies. The program is open to graduates or diploma holders (10+2+3) from recognized institutions in any field, and international participants need a graduate or equivalent degree from a recognized university or institution and proficiency in English, both spoken and written.
What is the admission process for IIM Raipur?
In order to secure admission into IIM Raipur, it is crucial for you to perform exceptionally well on the CAT exam and achieve a percentile of 97 or higher. While the CAT 2021 CAP Cutoff was 92 percentile, a score higher than that is recommended to increase your chances of being shortlisted. After successfully passing the CAT exam, you will be required to clear the WAT (Written Admission Test) and PI (Personal Interview) rounds of the Common Admission Process (CAP).
IIM Raipur will then release its own shortlist of candidates based on their CAP round scores, profiles, and percentiles. It is important to note that the percentile requirement may vary depending on factors such as gender and academic stream. The 97 percentile is only a rough estimate and it may fluctuate based on these factors.
Why are IIM Ranchi and Raipur underrated compared to IIM Udaipur even after better placement records?
I think the single most important reason why IIM Raipur and Ranchi are considered below IIM Udaipur is the lack of proper marketing. IIM Udaipur has managed to make its mark through enough marketing and promoting research culture. The IIMRs is also flawed in the sense that they are located in extremely poor economic states. This flaw overshadows all their features and the fact that they have better placement scenarios than IIM Udaipur.
Every IIM has set a certain goal and is gradually climbing the ladder to reach its level of excellence. The same is the case with IIMRs. In just a few years these two will be among the best IIMs in India.
Which is the best college in terms of placement in OPS/consulting/general management among IIM Raipur, Rohtak and Udaipur?
I am aware of the placement scenario at IIM Udaipur only as my sister recently graduated from it.
Operations
The faculty base of this domain specifically is very experienced and includes world class professors like Director Prof. Janat Shah.
Apart from faculty, the club SKEIN conducts national level summits (SCM Summit) by inviting industry experts to enlighten the students.

Which IIM amongst the two should one join, IIM Ranchi and IIM Raipur?
If we talk about the brand value and worth of these two IIMs I don’t think there are many dissimilarities. The difference between the two is some personal level factors like
Campus: IIM Ranchi has no permanent campus and this is one of the major shortcomings of this institute. IIM Raipur on the other hand has a vast 200-acre campus. It is decked with world-class facilities and will give you the feeling of staying at a hotel.
Placements: IIM Raipur has better placements than IIM Ranchi and for many, this is a major deciding factor. The table below compares the placement statistics of the two IIMs.

Which IIM is better if I want to pursue MBA in marketing, IIM RAIPUR or IIM ROHTAK?
Both the IIMs, IIM Rohtak and IIM Raipur give an edge to each other in the sense that they have similar faculty, teaching methodology, rankings, placements, and brand value.
However, IIM Rohtak has a locational advantage being situated in the NCR region. This attracts more corporates and companies for placements. It also has a bigger batch size than IIM Rohtak and a strong alumni base.
Ultimately it’s you who decides the B School that is most suitable for you. Both these IIMs are almost similar but I have to say IIM Rohtak gives a slight edge to IIM Raipur.
What is your opinion about IIM Raipur for a GEM from NITW earning 13 LpA in the IT industry with 22 months work experience?
Let’s make this easy to understand by comparing what you will be earning in 2 years if you continue to work here and the average package you might be offered after completing an MBA of 2 years.
Your current salary is 13 LPA. So in 2 years, you will be earning around 16 LPA. The average salary of IIM Raipur is INR 17.73 LPA. Now if you compare the two you will see there isn’t much difference between the two. In fact, if you go for an MBA you will end up with an extra loan. Paying back the hefty loan is itself a big task. So, in my opinion, you should continue working in the firm.
If you really want to pursue MBA, prepare for CAT next year and aim for an older IIM as it might improve your opportunities. Then again go for CAT again only if you are confident that you will
be able to ace it.
How is the Data Science & ML (IIM Raipur) Program provided by Uptop Institute?
It is important to note that UpTop does not provide job assistance after the completion of the course. This means that if your primary purpose for taking the course is to secure a job, it may not be the best fit for you. UpTop's job assistance is limited and once the course is completed, the organization may not be responsive or helpful when it comes to job opportunities or assistance.
Additionally, while UpTop may promise many things in the course brochure, it is important to note that their contribution to the course is limited. They primarily collect the course fee and do not provide any additional resources or support.
Furthermore, UpTop's customer service may be lacking, as they may become rude or unresponsive when asked for job assistance or about job openings. This can be particularly concerning for those who are looking to change their career or switch jobs, as the course may not be able to fulfill its intended purpose. Therefore, investing 80k in a course that may be of little use in fulfilling career goals may not be a wise decision.
Lastly, their communication and follow-up post-course may be poor, as they may leave the participant's WhatsApp group after the course is completed, delay the delivery of the course certificate, and may not respond to emails or even block you on WhatsApp.
In conclusion, it is suggested to stay away from UpTop as they have a reputation for being unprofessional and primarily focused on making easy money, rather than providing quality education and job assistance.
How useful is it to take executive development in Operations Management in Six Sigma from IIM Raipur?
Six Sigma is a widely recognized and valuable addition to Operations Management, as it can bring a wide range of tangible benefits to an organization. These benefits include reducing cycle times, meeting service level agreements (SLAs), increasing productivity, and improving quality.
When it comes to IIM-Raipur's specific program offering, it is not entirely clear, however, one can expect a high-quality program from the institution. When considering different Six Sigma training providers, it is important to carefully analyze them on various parameters such as the training model, mode, curriculum, accreditation, certification process, and pricing.
When looking for a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt program, you can expect the average pricing to fall within the range of 15-25k. Additionally, you may also want to consider e-Six Sigma, which has won a National Award for its training model and offers a unique and engaging learning experience.
Ultimately, the specific location where you undertake a Six Sigma training program is less important than the knowledge and skills you gain from it, and how you are able to justify that knowledge during an interview or application process.
