Did RBI visit IIM Amritsar for recruitment as per the recent placement report? If yes, what profile did they offer?
IIM Amritsar has made its name in the IIM family due to the following
- Corporate Competitions’ Presence
- Student Achievements
- Placement Records
All these achievements have made it among the fastest-growing IIMs. So I don’t understand why people keep questioning and judging an Institute of National Importance.
Now coming to your question, yes RBI did visit the IIM Amritsar campus for recruitment last year for Summer Internships but the exact role and package were not revealed to the public. Try to get in touch with some batchmates to get this info.

Apart from these specialty roles are also offered by big firms like Apple and Fung group. Many start-ups offer good packages in Operation and General Management roles. But IIM Calcutta is nowhere behind in this aspect. Both offer equally good roles.
What is a better choice, take a job at Infosys as a fresher or pursue an MBA at IIM Nagpur?
I cannot answer your question directly but I can direct you to answer it yourself. Choosing something related to your career requires constant analysis of your own interests.
Now let’s look at the 2 options you have. Taking a job at Infosys as a fresher or pursuing an MBA from IIM Nagpur. One choice may be right for someone and wrong for the other person. So it’s up to you to decide.
You should join Infosys only if you are interested in solving technical problems. You will be trained at the training facility at Mysore and made to inculcate impeccable technical skills. You will be dealing with the technological aspects of the company. like working on features of a product, and solving/reporting bugs for a product. Your future job prospects include becoming a Technical Analyst, Tech lead, or other tech-savvy roles. You need to have a serious interest in this area if you choose this option.
You should pursue an MBA from Nagpur or any other IIM only if you are interested in solving business problems. Here you will be taught by world-class faculty for 2 years who will teach you the various dimensions of business management. You will have to participate in case studies, quizzes, classroom participation, presentations, group assignments, club activities, etc. During the second year, you can focus on one or two of your favorite domains. MBA will open doors for big placement offers.
So what matters, in the end, is what you want to do in life and what you are passionate about.
Can an MCA student from Kalinga University (private university) in Raipur, Chhattisgarh get a job in MNC like L&T Infotech, TCS, Wipro, and many more?
Yes, you can easily get jobs in MNCs like L&T, TCS, Infotech, Wipro, etc. Getting into the IT sector is not that hard. Also, the companies that you mentioned don’t have any such university criteria. These companies recruit thousands of fresh graduates each year.
They usually conduct huge off-campus drives. Keep track of such drives. Apply when the registration is open. Be prepared with basic aptitude and programming and you should get the job you want.
I recently applied to IIM Visakhapatnam for a visiting faculty position. What should I expect next?
If you have applied for a visiting faculty position at IIM Visakhapatnam you should wait for an interview call from them. If you are qualified enough and talented then they will definitely approach you for a faculty position. IIMs have the pressure to maintain the IIM standards so they are always on the hunt for the best professors. So if you are confident of your worth, apply to other IIMs also. I am sure one of the many IIMs will identify your talent and offer you a suitable position.
Is joining new IIMs (Ranchi, Trichy, Udaipur) worth it? How will be the career growth after an MBA from new ones?
The career growth offered by the new IIMs is difficult to analyze as they haven’t been established for long. One cannot infer their worth easily as its alumni are yet to establish themselves in the corporate world. It will take a few more years to determine the growth of CEO alums career-wise.
If you are concerned about the general job prospects, try going through the placement reports of these IIMs. You will get a general idea of the packages and roles offered.
To know if the new IIMs are worth going for, you need to check what you are expecting from these B Schools. If you are looking for basic learning and a small push to kickstart your career, the new IIMs will benefit you. But if you are on the lookout for high ROI, the new IIMs may or may not satisfy your expectations.

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.
