Is NMIMS a good college for an MBA?
Yes, NMIMS is considered to be the MBA college in Mumbai city and its MBA program is highly regarded among aspirants. Here are a few pros and cons of the institute that might help you
Pros
- The college is well-known for its state-of-the-art infrastructure. The classrooms have all modern facilities and the library too is well-stocked.
- Its location gives it leverage in establishing healthy industrial relations.
- The parity of the faculty cannot be doubted as they deliver excellent lectures.
- The academics are much more than just bookish language as students are made to solve Case-based studies.
- The food served in the canteen is quite good.
- Students get the chance to participate in lots of competitions and earn well, or get PPI.
Cons :
- NMIMS fees are exorbitantly high. The first-year fee is INR 11.95 Lakhs. You also need to consider the expenses of living in Mumbai.
- Hostel faculties for only limited students
- A few faculties have no interest in teaching.
- The placement stats are inflated and thus misleading.
- The MBA batch of NMIMS has a huge batch of around 600 students affecting the quality of education.
- There is a huge gap between the administration and the students.
- Easy entrance exam affects the quality of the crowd.
So, NMIMS was once a great B School but the increasing batch size has affected its reputation largely. You can go for colleges with a smaller batch size and similar fees to get better job opportunities.
Is it true that XLRI does not consider past academics for admission?
Past Academics are not just mere parameters for admission but they evaluate your consistency in performing well across various academic stages. This signifies your flexibility to adapt and maintain a consistent result. Thus a well-maintained and stable academic record ensures your competency and is given more importance than inconsistency in your academic profile.
Most B-School consider past academic records to ensure the student’s ability to give consistently good results. XLRI too is one such institute, the only difference being that initial shortlisting is not done on that basis. This enables candidates with a valid reason for average past academics to justify their profile. In fact, their justification can even convince the panelists to consider them over other candidates with better past academic records.
The reason I am so confident about this is that my sister told me her batchmates comprised both; students with excellent past academic records and students with below-average academic records. These students managed to seek admission by performing excellently in the post-written process.
So, XLRI does consider past academics but not for initial shortlisting and the overall weightage given to academics is comparatively less than other B schools.

Why is IIT Madras the best IIT?
There is no such thing as a best IIT as each IIT has its unique strengths and weaknesses. Here is how I grade the top engineering colleges in India
- The 5 oldest IITs, IIT Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Madras, and KGP are considered to be in the top layer. Even BITS Pilani and IIIT Hyderabad fall into this category.
- The second level of IITs includes IIT Roorkee, Guwahati, Hyderabad, and IIT BHU.
- The third level comprises IITs like IIT Indore, Gandhinagar, Ropar, Mandi, etc.
In reality, what matters more than the college and its brand name is the efforts you invest in making the most out of the resources offered by the college. Your attitude towards academics and passion for success is the driving fuel and the image of the college just adds to the processes.
What is your review of Amrita University?
Amrita University offers good learning opportunities. It also has a decent placement record. According to the highlights of Amrita University Placements 2021, almost 95% of students got placement offers. The highest CTC offered was 56.95 LPA.
But the coursework is demanding. You are required to do projects each semester. So, you need to keep up with the coursework, otherwise, you can easily fall behind.
Is IIT Guwahati becoming the next IIT Kanpur?
Both IIT Guwahati and IIT Kanpur are well-respected institutions, known for their high-quality education and research. Comparing the two is already justified and saying that one institution is becoming the next of the other is more so. Both institutions have their strengths and areas of expertise. Yet, if I was to choose one I would have always gone for IIT Kanpur.
Some points that favor my preference are as follows:
- The quality of coursework at IIT Kanpur is extremely challenging and will keep you on your toes always. It offers the best quality of education and you will learn much more than other IITs if you are regular to classes and take your academics seriously,
- The usual schedule of a student at IIT Kanpur is not always jammed, unlike the general opinion. The timings of the clubs align with the classes and you can take out time for both if you are good at managing your time well.
- Another challenging aspect of IIT Kanpur is its tough grading system, (10,8,6,4..) under which anything below 10 is 8. Thus you are under tremendous pressure to maintain your CGPA and is enough of a motivating factor.
Overall, even if Guwahati was to be compared to IIT Kanpur, it still has a long way to go until it becomes the next IIT Kanpur.
Can we use last year's GATE score for NITIE Mumbai 3 PGD courses?
Yes, you can use last year’s GATE score for getting admission in 3 PGD courses at NITIE Mumbai. Your GATE score will be valid for the next 3 years. So, you can apply for NITIE, within that period, with the same GATE score. You won’t have to take GATE again within the next 3 years.
Having been rejected by XLRI (BM) and SPJIMR, should I settle for NMIMS Mumbai?
This is a very common dilemma among MBA aspirants who fail to make it into the institute of their choice. They are torn between going to an average B School or retaking CAT.
A smart way to come out of this dilemma is to toss the coin with these choices and the choice that comes to your mind when the coin is in the air is what you want to do. If you keep taking advice from everyone you will be left all the more confused.
A close friend of mine faced a similar Institute and his family advised him to take a drop year as NMIMS was not on his list of preferred institutes. He finally retook CAT and ended up in XLRI!
Ultimately, the right decision for someone may not be the right one for you, and vice versa. So choose wisely!
What is the relevant work ex required for FPM in decison sciences from IIM Bangalore?
Typically, IIM Bangalore requires a minimum of 3 years of work experience for candidates to be eligible for their Fellow Program in Management (FPM) in Decision Sciences. However, it’s important to note that other parameters are also given due consideration such as academic background and achievements, professional experience and achievements.
The relevant work ex required for FPM in decision sciences might be a sort of Statistician or analyst coding in any data analysis language. I know many friends who have worked as data analysts in the past while some did not have any such coding background. That is why I don’t think any relevant work ex is required given that you have an excellent overall profile.
