Should I join Accenture or IIM Raipur?
Your question basically means whether you should gain experience or pursue MBA from IIM Raipur. In my opinion, joining IIM Raipur is the right choice because
- You have cleared CAT and got selected. This might never happen in the future again due to the unpredictable nature of CAT. So don’t lose this opportunity.
- Joining Raipur right now is almost similar to going for a better B school 2 years later as Raipur might be flourishing till then.
- Even if you work and join IIM Raipur later, your disinterest in the job might be reflected in your interview thus becoming a negative impact on the panelists.
The fear of joining a new IIM is common as one is investing huge amounts of money. But you need to remember that every new IIM becomes an old IIM one day.
Which should I choose from NSS, NCC or NSO in NIT Jalandhar, and why?
My brother is an NITJ alumni and he strongly recommends joining NCC in NIT Jalandhar. Some points that support his recommendation are:
-
Reserved qouta in various exams like SSC-CGL
-
Excellent exposure
-
No compulsory attendance at athletic fest
-
Disciplined life that leads to self improvement
-
A touch of life of Armed Forces
Apart from NCC, NSS is also a good option. But don’t go for NSO at all. There are hardly any benefits to avail of.
Is IIM Ahmedabad really worth doing? If I somehow clear the entrance exams, then will I get satisfied with the placement/package that they will provide me?
When considering pursuing an MBA from top-ranked institutions like IIM Ahmedabad, it's important to keep in mind that not everyone who attends will be satisfied with the outcome. While a degree from a prestigious institution can provide financial rewards and recognition, it's important to consider personal goals and priorities before committing to a rigorous curriculum. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
- Personal goals: It's important to have a clear understanding of your goals before pursuing an MBA. For some, it may be about salary or credibility, while for others, it may be about personal growth or career advancement.
- Direction: Pursuing an MBA from a top-ranked institution can provide direction and guidance on your career path. However, it's important to note that the direction you take ultimately depends on you as an individual.
- Satisfaction: Not everyone who graduates from top-ranked institutions is satisfied with their careers. While they may have achieved financial success and credibility, they may still feel unfulfilled and dissatisfied with the daily grind of a stressful job and dirty politics.
- Individuality: Everyone has their own unique path in life, and it's important to recognize that what works for one person may not work for another. Some graduates may be content with a modest salary and a fulfilling career, while others may prioritize financial success over everything else.
- Work-life balance: Pursuing an MBA can be demanding and stressful, and it's important to find a healthy work-life balance to prevent burnout and health issues.
Pursuing an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad or any top-ranked institution can provide financial rewards and recognition, but it's important to consider personal goals, direction, satisfaction, individuality, and work-life balance before committing to a rigorous curriculum. Ultimately, the key to a fulfilling career is finding a balance between professional growth, personal aspirations, and overall well-being.
Can I get into CMC Ludhiana with 513 marks in the All India open category in the 2nd counselling?
Yes, you might get into CMC Ludhiana with 513 marks in the All India Open Category in the 2nd counseling. CMC Ludhiana NEET Cutoff 2022 for this category was 16113 . Based on the NEET marks vs. rank, the rough estimate of marks required for this rank is 608-610 . Given that you have scored 513 marks, I feel there are still chances for you to make it to this college. However, this is just a prediction and does not guarantee your admission.
Should residents of Ahmedabad skip IIM Ahmedabad, to avoid constant disturbance from family members, and try for IIM Calcutta or IIM Bangalore instead?
I wouldn’t say that as a student of IIM Ahmedabad and also a resident of Ahmedabad, visits from your family members will be a problem. This is because the maximum duration of your day will be spent in classes, studying for exams or assignments. You will not even have the time to be disturbed by your family members. It’s not that big of a factor that might change your decision to go to IIM Calcutta or Bangalore rather than IIM Ahmedabad. Moreover chances are that you might face some health issues and it's to your advantage as an Ahmedabad resident that your family members will tend to you so that you can recover quickly.
How is PEC Chandigarh at present? Should I go for it over NIT Jalandhar?
Situation at PEC Chandigarh is pretty good currently. The new director has brought about a prominent change in the earlier stagnant situation at PEC. He has broadened the approach with an exhaustive curriculum and better infrastructure.
The next best change he has brought about is amazing placement opportunities. If you are from a branch like CS Or Mechanical, you will definitely land a core job. Highest package this year was INR 42 LPA.
Lots of sports facilities are improving. Other facilities include new centres like Siemens Centre of excellence(only 3 more in India) and solar tech park
Voyagers scheme where students get funded by college to explore rural India is surely another game changing feature of the college.
Extracurricular activities are also valued here and there are a lot of clubs to pursue your hobby.
The quality of faculty is also increasing gradually.
All these changes prove that you should definitely go for PEC over NIT Jalandhar.
Is it better to join NMP at MDI Gurgaon or continue with your double figures salary package?
MDI EMBA is definitely a good choice if you want to pursue EMBA for
- Acquiring knowledge
- To start your own business
- If you are joining the course on a sabbatical
But if you are here just for placement within India, then go for ISB only.
It’s sad to admit that even today Indian Corporates haven’t understood the importance of EMBA as most companies prefer MBA graduates only. They specifically enquire if their MBA program was a 2-year program or a regular MBA.
But ISB’s 1-year executive Management Course along with ISB brand name has been deemed equal in importance by the Indian Corporates to a full-time 2 year MBA. This is despite the fact that many students of the regular MBA program have 3-5 years of experience which is not uncommon even amongst many of the 2-year MBA programme students. EMBA from any other Institute is considered as candidates with a lot of experience which is not true in all the cases.
Is it valuable doing MA after Bsc from IGNOU?
No, it’s not valuable for someone to go for an MA after graduating from science. Unless you have a specific target or reason behind pursuing PG in arts it’s not recommended at all.
The course you are opting for should have a direct connection with the industry you are planning to enter. Focus on your goal and pursue the program related to that specific field.
People with no specific goals regarding the industry or profession are much more likely to come across such questions. Redefine and recognise your goals and then if it still suits you best, go for PG in arts.
What is the counselling process at IET Lucknow College?
The counseling procedure at IET Lucknow College is straightforward. You only need to bring all the required documents and the fee receipt. Then they'll take you to a room where you'll get a token and wait for your turn. When it is your turn, you will be taken to a computer room. The staff member will fill in all of your details and preferences. Then you will be given a receipt for that as well, which you must present at the relevant college. That's how the counseling process is.
Which should I select among IIM Bodhgaya, IIM Sirmaur, and IIM Sambalpur? I have an experience of 4 years in power distribution operation as an electrical engineer, but I left the job last year.
After scrutinizing the list of colleges you mentioned, I think the most viable option is IIM Bodh Gaya. It is the most suitable among the 3 because it has been growing at a spectacular rate. The 2 major reasons for its rapid growth are
- Location: IIM Bodh Gaya enjoys a location advantage due to being situated at a Buddhist tourist spot. The historic pilgrimage site is well connected with an airport just 7 km away. Six connectivity brings in better and more faculty and also top companies for recruitment that don’t visit Sirmaur and Sambalpur due to poor connectivity.
- Mentorship: This is another factor that sets IIM Bodh Gaya apart from other baby items. Once under the mentorship of the top IIM, IIM Calcutta, IIM Bodh Gaya still has a similar pedagogy and curriculum.
Both these factors differentiate Bodh Gaya from Sambalpur and Sirmaur extremely well.
