Questions Asked On IIM Raipur, Raipur

Is it worth it to go into 6 new IIMs (Ranchi, Rohtak, Raipur, Udaipur, Trichy & Kashipur) rather than going for an MS?

PS
Puneet Srivastava Posted On : January 5th, 2023
Selected in IIM-IPM'17

Before choosing a college, try to make sure what you are really interested in. If it is MS then don’t go for any IIM. This is because you can pursue an MBA later in life if MS did not work for you. But you will not get the chance to choose Ms after your MBA. Also since it’s your area of interest, chances are you might find your talents and may want to work on them.

Now if you are sure about the course but confused about the IIMs, I will give you my honest opinion. The new IIMs are enjoying fame and glory owing to the achievements of their predecessors alone. They haven’t done much to attain the level of older IIMs. These new IIMs are poorly organized. The faculty is below average, the infrastructure is substandard and the teaching is pathetic. Yet they are here to claim the coveted IIM tag.

So if you are someone for whom the tag of IIM and its high placement matters only, you can surely go for a new IIM. But if you value education over institutions then base your decision on research.

It's difficult to say which one is better IIM Ranchi, IIM Trichy, and IIM Raipur for a fresher without work experience, as it depends on your personal preferences and career goals. 

Here are some factors to consider when making your decision:

  1. Batch Profiles: Whenever you join a new place, especially an IIM, it takes time to keep up with the pace of the professors. You will need students who will guide you in the same. Both Trichy and Ranchi are excellent in this aspect having diverse student backgrounds.
  2. Faculty: Another great way to evaluate an institute is to research the internal and visiting faculty as information sharing is an indispensable part of IIM culture. IIM Ranchi is said to have the best faculty from the best B-schools like IIM B, C, L and I. IIM Ranchi also has industry experts who’ve worked there for over 30 years and reached a CXO designation across respected corporate conduct classes for its students. These classes are full-fledged 30 hour credit courses. Basically, IIM Ranchi exposes you to the brilliant minds of the country. 
  3. Placements: Since you will end up with a big loan to pay off by the end, it’s very important to look up the placement reports of the concerned institutes. Usually, IIM Ranchi ranks the best in terms of placements.

How good is IIM Raipur?

JS
Jhilmil Sinha Posted On : February 13th, 2023
IIM Raipur

When it comes to educational quality, it is important to note that professors' quality may be unsatisfactory due to politics and a high turnover rate. Furthermore, student evaluations at the end of a course are not taken into account by the school. Cheating is also common in quizzes, making whether you study or not irrelevant and allowing lower-performing students to score higher grades.

In terms of living conditions, the hostels provide separate rooms with attached bathrooms, but the college is located quite far from the city. The nearest sector is five kilometers away, and transportation costs can be prohibitively expensive. The food at the mess is of poor quality, and there are no other dining options. Furthermore, students are not permitted to keep electric kettles in their rooms, and fines for breaking this rule can be severe.

IIM Raipur has a strong record of placement, with 100% of students placed. In the 2022 placement drive, the highest CTC offered was INR 42.15 LPA, with an average CTC of INR 17.73 LPA and a median CTC of INR 16.95 LPA. The institute has also had a successful summer internship program, with the highest stipend being INR 3.5 Lakhs and an average stipend of INR 1.20 Lakhs. In the Times Annual B School Ranking Survey 2021, IIM Raipur was ranked second in India.

Considering that my profile is: 10th- 89.2 12th- 74.2 Grad. (Engg)- 8.5 PG- 8.0, which one is better: the NMIMS Mumbai, the IIM Rohtak, the IIM Raipur, the IIM Ranchi, the IIM Trichy, the IIM Udaipur

AS
Aditya Shekhar Posted On : January 5th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (Graduated 2023)

The aspects of judging a college’s worth depend on the following factors

  • legacy
  • alumni experience 
  • perception among peers
  • quality of students
  • faculty
  • institute culture
  • events and activities
  • pedagogy 
  • Summer and final placement opportunities

NMIMS renders you short-term advantages but IIMs offer many long term advantages. Even the faculty is better at IIMs than at NMIMS. But being a new institute, it lacks an alumni base. Any far-sighted person can definitely say that your IIM tag will help you in the long run.

Now based on your list, the order is

IIM Udaipur>IIM Ranchi>IIM Trichy>IIM Rohtak> IIM Raipur>IIM Kashipur

I have done my master's from IIM Raipur. How can I apply for jobs in other countries, maybe New Zealand/Canada?

KS
Keshav Singh Posted On : February 9th, 2023

When it comes to obtaining work visas in different countries, it is important to understand that most countries do not provide direct entry to international students. This is because it is a source of income for the country, so they require international students to complete their education and then apply for a work visa. However, some countries, such as those with a skill gap in their industries, are inviting high-skill migrants with more than 3 years of work experience to fill that gap.

When it comes to New Zealand, it does not provide any kind of work visa, you must have to take a course and then apply for the work visa. It is an important aspect to keep in mind while planning to work in New Zealand.

Canada, on the other hand, is providing express entry to skilled migrants if they want to settle in Canada. This is a great opportunity for those who have the skills and qualifications that Canada is looking for. If you are interested in working in Canada, it is a good idea to research the express entry program and see if you qualify.

Which one should I choose: IIM Rohtak or IIM Raipur?

MJ
Manan Jain Posted On : February 16th, 2023
Head, Department of Business Management (1998–present)

All the new IIMs are currently in a similar position with one giving an edge to another in some or the other way. So you can join any. But if I was to choose one of the two i.eIIM Rohtak and IIM Raipur, I would have chosen IIM Rohtak. Some points that favor my choice are

  • The major reason why many choose Rohtak is because of the locational advantage it offers. Owing to regional industry coordination and NCR location it's better than other new IIMs
  • Among the new IIMs, it is the oldest. So the batch size is bigger and so is the alumni network.
  • Almost all the new IIMs function from a temporary campus and don’t have their own new campus. Meanwhile, IIM Rohtak is functioning from the MDU campus which is better than most campuses and has world-class facilities.
  • The institute specializes in Marketing and is a good choice for Marketing enthusiasts. Many good firms offer marketing roles.

Most of the people who are in a dilemma of choosing between these two IIMs already have offers from these. If you ask the alumni of both institutes which one is better, in 99% of cases they will claim that their institute is better. So it’s better to do individual research and make a choice based on your own inclinations and prospects.

Studied at the Indian Institute of Management Raipur (Graduated 2021)

Making a decision to join an MBA college is a significant investment in money, time, and effort. It can be a source of confusion, dilemma, and anxiety for MBA aspirants. The question of whether an MBA college is worth joining is subjective, as the returns on investment will vary for different individuals. For some, only the top-ranked colleges like IIM Ahmadabad, Bangalore, or Calcutta will be considered. In contrast, for others, a more pragmatic approach may be taken to weigh the pros and cons of different options.

IIM Raipur, in its 12th year of inception, has been making tremendous strides in its growth journey and is worth joining for several reasons.

The average package has also been rising, with students being offered roles in analytics, wealth management, and other fields. Additionally, IIM Raipur is a non-profit government institution with affordable fees, compared to many private institutions.
  • Second, the IIM brand is a significant asset, as it is widely recognized as a symbol of excellence in the industry. It instills a sense of confidence in students and opens up opportunities for them in the corporate world. 
  • Third, the new campus of IIM Raipur has state-of-the-art infrastructure with modern design and modern classrooms, sports complexes, and hostels with single occupancy and attached bathrooms.

What percentile is required for IIM Raipur?

IG
Ishaan Gupta Posted On : February 6th, 2023
Former Executive Member Business Event Equinox at Indian Institute of Management Raipur

The table below presents the minimum performance required for candidates to be considered for the PI & WAT selection process at IIM Raipur. However, it is important to note that meeting the cut-off percentile in CAT is a necessary but not sufficient condition for being shortlisted.

It should also be noted that the actual cut-off percentiles for the 2023-25 batch at IIM Raipur may be higher. The number of candidates to be called for the PI & WAT for each category will be determined by the institute, and as a result, the cut-off percentiles may also fluctuate.
 

Category IIM Raipur cut off for Section-1 VARC IIM Raipur cut off for Section-2 DILR IIM Raipur cut off for Section-3 Quant IIM Raipur cut-off - Overall CAT 2022 Percentile
General 70 70 70 92
EWS 40 40 40 70
NC-OBC 45 45 45 74
SC 35 35 35 54
ST 25 25 32.5 40
DAP 25 25 32.5 40



The table above presents the minimum percentile required for candidates to be considered for the selection process at IIM Raipur. However, it is important to note that in addition to the CAT score, other factors such as academic performance in 10th, and 12th and graduation, diversity, work experience, and achievements are also taken into consideration when determining final selection.

It is important to aim for a higher percentile than the minimum stated above, as scoring 90 percentile (in the general category) may not guarantee selection, depending on the candidate's profile. The selection process at IIM Raipur is a multi-faceted and holistic one, taking into account not only the CAT score but also the performance in WAT-PI, academic percentages, diversity, work experience, and achievements to determine the final selection.
