RS

MBA in Business Management, Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (Graduated 2019)

When preparing for an interview at XIMB, it is important to focus on a few key things to help you perform your best. Firstly, it is important to thoroughly revise your undergraduate subjects as this can make up a significant portion of the interview. Ensure that you have a good grasp of the technical aspects of your course and can discuss it confidently.

In addition, it is important to have a good understanding of general knowledge, including current affairs. You don't need to know everything, but having a basic understanding of what is happening in the world can be useful. Furthermore, having an opinion about current events can be even more important than your knowledge of them.

Some XIMB interviews may also include philosophical questions, so it is helpful to have a philosophical bent of mind and be able to think critically about abstract concepts. This can help you to demonstrate your ability to think deeply and creatively.

During the interview, it is important to present yourself confidently, even if you don't know the answer to a question. Smile and be positive, as this can help you to build a good rapport with the interviewer. Remember that it's not just about what you know, but also how you present yourself and how well you can convince the interviewer of your suitability for the program.

In general, when preparing for any business school interview, it's important to have a good understanding of your domain knowledge and to keep up-to-date with daily news, particularly as it relates to business. Be prepared to discuss your work projects and know yourself well, as this will help you to answer questions confidently and authentically.

B.Tech. Chemical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (2018)

One of my friends had been a student of NIT Trichy, pursuing B.Tech. Let me share what I gathered from him and some reviews online.

  • The excellence of the courses may vary in each semester, but according to my friend, there are a few courses that are never out of standard.
  • Based on their learning opportunities, infrastructure available, extra-curricular/technical club opportunities, and internships and placements, these are some of the undergraduate courses that are considered best.
  • The courses include - 
    • Computer Science and Engineering, 
    • Electronics and Communication Engineering, 
    • Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and 
    • Electronics Engineering is considered better.
  • Keep in mind that you should always take the courses that are interesting to you.
  • Thus, if these courses don’t intrigue you, you can go for other courses as they will be better for you if you are interested in them.
     

Many students have gotten to know about their field of interest while studying in college. Hence, give some time to figure it out and then make a decision, as this will shape your career further.

Should I join IIM Bangalore given that I am already earning 20 lpa (base) at Amazon?

PS
Prabu Siva Posted On : December 19th, 2022
PGP from Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (Graduated 2021)

No, I don’t think you should join IIM Bangalore and pursue MBA given that you are already receiving INR 20 LPA (base).

If your base is INR 20 LPA then the package should be around INR 25 LPA. An MBA from IIM Bangalore will also get you placed with a similar package maybe around INR 30 LPA. This does not make much difference considering the high fees you will have to pay. In Fact you will be leaving out the market risk, performance, opportunity costs and the increment that you will probably get in the next two years.

So an MBA from IIM Bangalore does not seem a good option since you are already working at an esteemed organization with an above average salary.

While applying to the US for an MS, are NITs (Surathkal, Trichy, Warangal) considered the same level as the new IITs?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 14th, 2023

Top NITs like Surathkal, Trichy, and Warangal are considered close to if not at par with old IITs and definitely better than some new IITs.

Unless you are from the top IITs, admission to foreign universities for an MS does not depend on the college you are from. Many students from top IITs go to foreign universities every year. For non-IITians what matters is the project, internships, UG research quality, and extracurriculars. In fact, the sole reason IITians make it to top foreign universities is their strong determination and grasp of these aspects. Yes, the IIT alumni network does help you in the research internship but ultimately it’s your efforts that matter.

So even if you are not an IITian, keep working hard and you are likely to get admission to top foreign universities.

How good are the placements of IIIT Allahabad for an M.Tech? (Not a B.Tech)

PK
Poulami Kar Posted On : March 16th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2019)

Yes, any M.Tech person who is looking for placement is going to find one. Any person with an M.Tech background is pretty easily placed in brilliant companies like Goldman Sachs, Qualcomm, 1mg, Flipkart, Amazon, Daily Hunt, Razorpay, Swiggy, Phillips, etc. In case you are curious even in the least bit about your CTC, you need not worry as the highest CTC went up to 34 LPA. This was grabbed by people with an M.Tech background. 

Categories

IIIT Allahabad

Course Fee

1.04 lakh

Placement Percentage

96%

Highest CTC

43 LPA

Average CTC

20 LPA

Also, you will have better chances if you have great coding skills and knowledge concerning all your technical subjects. This can help you get placed pretty easily in any of these brilliant companies mentioned above. 

Having said that, you should also keep in mind that there are companies that reject people with an M.Tech background. NITs or IITs too, do not always accept people with an M.Tech background. 

Nevertheless, you would come across heaps of opportunities where you can showcase your skills and impress the panel.

Which is better TAPMI or GIM Goa?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : April 14th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Both TAPMI and GIM are well-respected institutions in India that offer management education. Both institutions have their own unique strengths and areas of focus.GIM is known for its focus on sustainability and corporate social responsibility, as well as its international focus with a strong emphasis on international business.

Both institutes give a sharp edge to each other in terms of rankings, placements, and infrastructure. My cousin was in a similar situation and eventually went for GIM owing to its smaller batch size. Although both institutes offer similar opportunities and exposure, I can guarantee that GIM will give you a much better campus life.

TAPMI too is a leading B School and from what I heard from a friend, most of its pass outs are working in high positions in reputed firms. Overall, 

  • Placement-wise, GIM>TAPMI 
  • Campus life-wise, TAPMI>GIM 

Ultimately, the choice between TAPMI and GIM will depend on the individual's specific interests and career goals. Both institutions offer high-quality education,

What is the policy for giving Grace Marks in Savitribai Phule Pune University for engineering students?

Sapna Malik updated Posted On : August 18th, 2023

One of my friends was a student in SPPU so I asked him about the policy for giving grace marks there. He mentioned a few scenarios where his batchmates received grace marks

  • One of them received grace marks in an exam in which he actually scored 36. This course was from the 3rd semester. So he probably got grace marks because he had cleared all the subjects in the previous semesters.
  • In the third year, he again secured 39 marks in DME and because he already has received grace marks before, he failed in the subjects. So once you get grace marks, it’s impossible to get it again.
  • Another batchmate got a backlog when he was in the last semester of Engineering. He had got an offer from a good university for MS and therefore requested the university to give him grace marks although he had some backlogs in his 2nd and 3rd years the university granted him grace marks and he was awarded the degree.

So, to avail of grace marks at SPPU, one needs to have a good academic record. Usually, the limit of maximum marks is less than 10.
