Does ISB have a brand value better than that of XLRI, FMS, or IIM L?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : May 31st, 2023

I think I am the right person to answer this question as I have worked with graduates from the aforementioned top B Schools in India and my brother was a student at ISB. With the combined experience and knowledge I have, I dare to comment that ISB is an overhyped B school in India. What makes it stand is its amazing infrastructure, founding members, and the whole Western-style education. However, if you look at its academic style, I don’t find it very appealing. It fails to prepare students well and does not meet the standards of the 4 IIMs (ABCL) and XLRI.

Placements-wise one can comment that ISB is a notch better than XLRI and FMS but it is on the same level as IIM Lucknow. 

Ultimately, the brand value of a business school is a matter of personal opinion and is subjective.

How was your interview experience at IIM Lucknow?

SM
Siddant Mishra Posted On : April 28th, 2022
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (2022)

Due to the Covid19 situation, IIM Lucknow is taking interviews online. The interview takes around 15-20 minutes and there will be two panelists. 

Interview starts with an introduction. They will ask you about your academic background, any job experience that you have, etc. To prepare for the interview go through your profile thoroughly. There will be questions based on your profile. 

There will be general questions like ‘Why MBA?’, “Why IIM Lucknow?’, “What other calls do you have?’, ‘Any particular specializations you are interested in?’, etc. You can expect questions from current affairs as well.

What is the percentile that will ensure a call from IIM Calcutta, Lucknow, Bangalore, and Ahmadabad having 83% in 10th, 83% in 12th and a 6.9 CPGA in graduation, till now having no work experience?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : May 31st, 2023

First of all, bear in mind that there is never a 100% certainty of getting a call from a specific interest as there are many factors that determine it. 

Considering your profile that lacks work experience and has witnessed a decline in the graduation marks, I don’t consider anything below 99.9 to fetch you a call from institutes like IIM Calcutta, Lucknow, Bangalore, and Ahmedabad. All these institutes only accept the best profiles and high scores. So unless you score a perfect 100, it will be difficult to get admission here.

Which is better, IIM Lucknow or SJMSOM (IIT B)? I am from an ECE background with 3 years of IT experience.

TM
Taara Malhotra Posted On : January 16th, 2023
PGP from Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (Graduated 2019)

SJMSOM at IIT B was founded in 1995, making it a relatively newer institution. But for a couple of years now, it has been making headlines because of some really outstanding profiles that were provided. Its core competencies are operations and supply chain management. There is no doubt that IIT B is the best choice if you want to work as a product manager. IIT B also has a beautiful campus with excellent facilities.

Additionally, it would give you the opportunity to take part in MOOD-I, the most significant cultural festival in all of Asia, which is held at IIT Bombay. With the well-known tech fests, there is another opportunity for you to participate. Furthermore, there are benefits to living in Mumbai. For guest lectures, the majority of the industry experts live nearby and are easily reachable. 

IIM Lucknow was founded in 1984, so it has 11 batches more alumni than IIT B, resulting in approximately 3300 more alumni (considering 300 students per batch on average). It is also the fourth oldest IIM, following A, B, and C. You will gain a lot more industry experience, which will assist you in deciding what you truly want to do. In addition, IIM L offers better opportunities in Sales & Marketing, Consultancy, and BFSI than SJMSOM. Furthermore, you will be networking with a large number of students from all over the country and forming lifelong friendships. Furthermore, the IIM tag for a managerial position has an advantage over the IIT tag, which is still developing.

It would be fine if you went to IIM L, SJMSOM, or any other B school a few years later. When you switch from the first company you get after your placements, the new recruiters will be more interested in your work than in the college you attended. And the impact of your college's name gradually fades. What remains are the lessons you've learned and the memories you've made over the last two years.

Which is better, FMS or IIM Lucknow?

S
Sagardeep Posted On : January 16th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (Graduated 2021)

When discussing a business school, the most common topics of conversation are diversity, peer learning, case competitions, learning culture, and placements.

Both FMS and IIM Lucknow have very different admissions criteria. Lucknow promotes academic diversity and places a high value on interview scores, whereas FMS places a greater emphasis on percentile.

Typically, classes in business schools last until five o'clock. If you stay on campus, you have the option of sleeping until 8 p.m. and then attending a club/committee event at 9 p.m. When you have in-house fields, you can relieve stress by playing football or cricket at night. You have the chance to run your own business at IIML thanks to their student-run enterprises on campus.

When it comes to faculty, case competitions, and academic curriculum, both brands are massive, and there are numerous opportunities. Additionally, since ROI is the topic of most discussion, FMS succeeds in this area if cost is a genuine concern.
