Is it worth joining IIM Nagpur for a person who already has work experience of 3.5 years and earns an 8.3 LPA?

When considering the question of which MBA program to attend, it is important to recognize that there is no definitive answer and that the decision will vary depending on the individual. There is a multitude of factors to consider before making this decision, and understanding how these factors weighed into another individuals decision-making process can be helpful in making ones own decision. For those considering IIM Nagpur, the first factor to consider is likely to be the cost of tuition. It is not uncommon for MBA programs to come with a significant price tag, and this can be a significant factor in determining which program to attend. IIM Nagpur has a fee structure of INR 13.75 lakhs, which is significantly lower than many other options on the market. This can make a big difference for those who are taking out an educational loan, as it can free up funds for other opportunities or risks. Another important factor to consider when looking at MBA programs is the brand value of the institution. IIMs are widely recognized as the best business schools in India, and the reputation of an IIM can open doors in the job market and throughout ones career. It is crucial to weigh in the long-term benefits that come with being associated with an IIM. Batch diversity in experience is another important consideration, especially for those who are looking to leverage peer learning as one of the most important aspects of an MBA program. IIM Nagpur has a diverse set of students with rich experience from a variety of industries, which can open up opportunities to learn about different domains and industries that one might not have been aware of before. Lastly, the curriculum, faculty, and culture of the school are important factors when selecting an MBA program. IIM Nagpur has a vast curriculum that is designed to closely align with the business world. Faculty are well experienced and knowledgeable in their subjects and make sure the students understand the concepts in a better way. Additionally, there is a great extent of flexibility in the electives that the students want to study. With this, students can spend the first year trying to figure out their interests and then choose electives accordingly in the second year.

Placements: The institute enjoys 100% placement opportunities and is visited by many top firms like Landmark Group, ITC, Pidilite, EY, Amazon, Cognizant, and Goldman Sachs. Particulars IIM Nagpur Placements Number of Students 250 Number of Recruiters Participated 73 Number of New Recruiters 43 Highest CTC INR 55.22 LPA Average CTC INR 23.10 LPA Median CTC INR 22.28 LPA Major Sectors IT and Analytics Faculties: The faculty is top-notch, comprising Ph.D. holders and professors with impeccable industry experience.

Such good exposure opens your mind to the possibilities and opportunities that exist in reality. You end up making bonds for the rest of your life. Opportunities: IIM Nagpur offers a plethora of opportunities to its students. The Field Immersion Programme (FIP) is one of the major highlights. Live projects are also conducted within India and abroad. The International Immersion Programme (IIP) which allows students to travel to five foreign locations. IIM Nagpur in itself is an entity thought to be newly established. It’s not justified to compare it with the older IIMs.

Is it worth joining IIM Nagpur for 10 Lakhs, considering that IIM Ahmedabad will be mentoring it initially?

If you don’t have a better option and can’t wait for a year more, it’s best to go for IIM Nagpur. Although it’s not among the top IIMs, it will not disappoint you. The main reasons for the same are: Firstly, IIM Nagpur is mentored by IIM Ahmedabad. So you will get the chance to be taught by IIMA faculty in the same methodology. IIM Nagpur is located in a well-connected city so has all the basic facilities like connectivity, a local support system, local industry, and safety. The placements at IIM Nagpur are also good considering the students have been trained by IIMA faculty. If you are tight on budget then pursuing MBA from IIM Nagpur is not a bad choice.

What is the concept of the wait list going on in IIM? How many wait lists did IIM Nagpur release?

The waitlist movement at IIM Nagpur is a pretty simple process. Let’s understand the entire process through steps. Firstly the waitlist students are divided into 3 groups namely Waitlist 1, Waitlist 2 and Waitlist 3. The above categories are made on the basis of the composite score in descending order Whenever a student does not accept the order or withdraws admission, his seat is offered to the person with the highest composite score in Waitlist 1 category. This process continues till the entire Waitlist 1 group has been offered a seat. The other two Waitlist groups are also exhausted in similar ways only if there are vacancies. The ones who had laid Waitlist money get the amount refunded in case they are not offered a seat.

Is it good to join IIM Nagpur for a person with 3 years of experience earning around 8.5 PA?

It depends on the individuals career aspirations and the options they have at their disposal. Many people left some of the big names with packages more than what has been stated, to come to IIM Nagpur. If one is looking from a short-term perspective, they may not gain much monetarily as IIM Nagpur is one of the newer IIMs. However, this does not mean that after completing a PGP, they will end up earning the same salary as their current one. It simply means not to expect the same coveted profiles of consultants that IIM ABC manages to secure for its students. The placement for the first batch of students has begun and it seems to be going well and is expected to improve in the future. When it comes to the most important aspect, learning, and experience, studying at one of the IIMs ensures access to some of the best people as peers, with experience in different domains and industries. The opportunity to learn from the best faculty in the country, all of whom come from IIM A, is something that cannot be measured in monetary terms. The academic rigor and the knowledge gained here will differentiate one from others in the long run. The two 15-day Field Immersion Programs after the first and second terms are unique to IIM Nagpur, where students will get hands-on experience in solving problems of both government and non-government organizations, which will prove beneficial in the challenging corporate world. The program was proposed by IIM-A alumni when the program structure for IIM Nagpur was being drafted. Finally, it is important to remember that there are many elements included in an MBA program and CTC is only one of them. One should not let their current or near-term CTC determine what they will gain from a PGPM from IIM Nagpur.

Is it worth doing a 1-year course from TSW - IIM Nagpur General Management? I have around 8 years of work experience in different domains and now in SAP.

It is important to recognize that while an executive education or a distance learning course may not provide the same level of knowledge as a full-time MBA program, they do have the power to add the prestigious brand value of IIMs to ones name. This brand value can prove to be highly beneficial in the later stages of ones career, particularly in middle and senior management roles. Therefore, when considering such a course, it is crucial to choose the course and institute wisely. For example, a course offered by IIM Ahmedabad will carry more brand value than one offered by IIM Nagpur, and a specialized strategy course will likely have a greater impact than a general management course. As an individual who is an SAP professional, one might soon find themselves moving into project management and then on to program management. It is important to note that clients are often drawn to well-known and reputable names, and having an IIM tag next to ones name can add immense value when pitching to clients or responding to RFPs and RFQs.

Is it worth joining IIM Vizag leaving behind the offer from IIM Nagpur?

As a student of the institution, it is important to recognize that comparing institutes can be problematic, as each institution has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. However, when considering institutes within the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) system, it is worth noting that the IIM in Visakhapatnam (IIM Vizag) has a reputation for offering strong academic programming and decent placement opportunities. This is something that sets it apart from some of the other IIMs and is something that students may want to take into consideration when deciding which institution to attend.

How is IIM Nagpur for a fresher?

If you are a fresher and not sure about joining IIM Nagpur, you can consider the following factors Options: A very important aspect while choosing a college is the list of options you are choosing from. You might have a different plethora of options than others. Research the placements, faculty, and infrastructure of these colleges and then decide. Academic background: IIM Nagpur offers excellent exposure and placements to students who are Software oriented or with a Finance backfiring. But, if in case, you have an interest in core backgrounds, then your chances are low as recruiters prefer experienced professionals for such roles Personal Interest: If you are included in developing technical skills rather than managerial skills then IIM Nagpur is definitely a good option. Roles offered: Freshers, as well as experienced students, are offered roles in Product Management, Business Analysis, Consulting etc. IIM Nagpur has an excellent alumni base and teaching methodology for these roles specifically. I think IIM Nagpur does not discriminate much between freshers and experienced people. So don’t worry and give your luck a try.

Is it very difficult to get admission in IIM Nagpur?

Your question is quite vague given that the admission criteria are directly linked to your profile. The chances of one’s admission are proportional to your grades and experiences and therefore cannot be generalized. Let me elaborate for you. In the entrance exam, every candidate has their own strengths and weaknesses. One might be good in the Quantum section but as at General Knowledge and vice Versa. While many get good scores in the entrance exam, they fail to muster the courage to speak in the interview which lowers their chances of admission despite a good CAT percentile. Still, if I rate the level of difficulty to get admission at the top IIM A B and C as 10/10 then I will rate IIM Nagpur as 6. This is because I know a friend who scored 92 percentile with decent past academics and work experience of around a year and yet got into IIM Nagpur.

What Students Say?

Excellent course curriculum with a rich mixture of the latest business case studies and in-class activities.
Many good recruiters come on campus to hire students for the summer internship program, such as Microsoft, ICICI Bank, Bank of America, and many more.
Placements are amazing; we have completed 100% recruitment for the final placements. According to last years report, the highest package was 20 lac per annum, with an average of 12.25 lac per annum.
The fee structure varies each year, but IIM N is still one of the best ROI institutes in the country.
Campus life at IIM N is great. We have sports tournaments conducted on the campus, which are very enjoyable.
Each student gets his or her own room, which is fully furnished with a wardrobe, bed, study table, etc.
I applied to all the colleges through CAT and received calls from 12 IIMs, including IIM Indore as my top choice.

Dislike

I received an admission offer, and the time given to pay the fees was quite short as it was the last round of results. I was informed in advance that the acceptance fee was 72000.

During CAT Form filling, I selected IIM Nagpur as one of the colleges. After the CAT results got declared, I got a mail from IIM N to submit an application based on the criteria for cut-offs. The application form is available on the college website. The date for submission was April 15. College asked for two references. No application was charged. After filling out the application, I received a mail for the PI process which was scheduled on May 8. There was no GD process. A comprehensive score was calculated. The final selection was carried out based on the Final Score which comprised of the CAT score, Comprehensive Score, and other criteria such as Work Experience, Diversity Score, UG Marks, and Boards Marks.

Eligibility of the course can be done only through CAT which is handled by the IIMs. Once my CAT scores came out, I applied to the college through CAT on the college's website. Once I cleared the cut-offs specified by the college, I received a mail to fill out the SOP and application. All the information regarding the admission process is described on the college website itself. I availed reservation under the OBC quota. I got my admission offer in the first list itself in May. The admission process is straightforward and easy to follow. Speeding up the process can be done to improve the whole experience.
