IIM Visakhapatnam: 5 Answered Questions
Should I go for an MBA from IIM Visakhapatnam or try next year?
IIM Visakhapatnam is one of the newest IIMs and lacks credibility to a great extent. The State and Central governments might be trying to make this a good institution but I don’t think it’s capable of offering a plethora of opportunities in terms of placements, exposure, peer learning, or faculty. I will suggest you go for a different IIM if you have any other option up to your sleeve. Even a new IIM that has just been established for a year or two is better. Make sure its infrastructure, placements, and faculty are at par with the IIM standards. It’s too early to claim with surety of IIM Visakhapatnam’s worth. Moreover, if you were able to crack CAT this year, it’s better you try again next year with a bit more determination and target a better B School.
What should I join, SIBM Pune or IIM Visakhapatnam?
Don’t go for IIM Visakhapatnam if you are just attracted by the IIM tag. While it surely is part of the IIM family that does not necessarily mean it has the same standards. Between the two, SIBM Pune gives a slight edge to IIM Visakhapatnam. If you talk about them generally they definitely are good institutions, but they are not the best. IIM Visakhapatnam is not yet recognised at SIBM Pune.
But if your preference is staying in your hometown or other location factors and IIM Visakhapatnam is suitable for you, then go for it. Both are almost similar in terms of worth and academics. At the end of the day it’s not the institution but your own performance that matters.
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.
I had scored 76.5/81.4/75 in 10th, 12th, and graduation respectively with zero work experience. I am a non-engineer. Is there any chance to get IIM Amritsar, Vizag, and Rohtak?
Based on your academic performance, you have the potential to be admitted to the top 30 colleges for MBA programs. It is recommended to focus on preparing for and achieving the best percentile possible in exams such as CAT and other relevant exams. It is unclear who has provided you with the options previously mentioned, but it is important to consider other options that may be more suitable for you.
Some of the options that you have a chance to receive an invitation from and potentially convert into an acceptance include the following:
- Indian Institute of Management - Calcutta (IIM-C)
- New Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs)
- Institute of Management Technology (IMT)
- Management Development Institute (MDI)
- T.A Pai Management Institute (TAPMI)
- International Management Institute (IMI)
- FORE School of Management
- Mudra Institute of Communications (MICA)
- Xavier Institute of Management (XIMB)
- Loyola Institute of Business Administration (LIBA)
- Symbiosis
- Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS)
It is always important to make informed decisions by researching and discussing your options before making a final decision.
What are the certificates and other related things required for applying in the financial aid programme of IIM Visakhapatnam?
The financial aid offered by IIM Visakhapatnam is solely need-based. One needs to produce important documents like bank statements and property papers. The upper limit for family income is INR 6 LPA but one can avail of the loan under special circumstances le medical issues or earlier loans.
You can get more details regarding the same matter once you reach the campus. They give you enough time to gather the documents before sanctioning the loan.
