Yes, IIM Jammu is safe for students. There are various reasons for making IIM Jammu a safe campus for learning:
So it can be concluded that IIM Jammu is a safe campus. The institution has implemented several measures to ensure the safety and security of its students, faculty, and staff. Students can focus on their studies and extracurricular activities without worrying about their safety.
There are plenty of non-IIM business schools. The new IIMs are a better choice than most of them, simply because of the ‘IIM’ tag. ISB, JBIMS, XLRI, FMS, S.P.Jain and MDI are some of the handful of top business schools that are non IIMs. They stand above new IIMs.
As for the baby IIMs like IIM Jammu, consider them only if you can't get into a more renowned business school. These are very newly built IIMs. But by joining them, you can become a part of their progress journey. This is a great learning experience in itself. Plus, the baby IIMs are also mentored by the old and highly reputed IIMs.
If you feel that you have a very rich profile or your CAT scores can improve, sit for CAT again the following year.
Yes, the IPM program of IIM Jammu and Bodh Gaya is definitely worth it. The points below will further justify its worth
So joining the IPM program at IIM Bodh Gaya is worth it and will reap you benefits after some years.
You should choose IIM Bodhgaya between these two. Since IIM Calcutta is the mentor institute, you will be taught by the faculties of IIM C. The placements of IIM Bodhgaya are also managed by IIM Calcutta, so you can expect good placement offers. The batch of 2022 students received an average CTC of INR 12.36 LPA.
IIM Jammu has stopped its Student Immersion Program. The same has been replaced with its Student Exchange Program. IIM Jammu has ties with 7 foreign colleges from Europe (including Greece), and talks are in place with 2 other colleges.
Under this program, select students from IIM Jammu get a chance to spend a trimester at one of these foreign colleges. For the same duration, some students from that particular college are called to the IIM Jammu campus. IIM Jammu selects its students for the exchange program based on merit.
The exchange program is a great learning experience which offers plenty of exposure to students from both sides.
Unlike the general misconception, Jammu is as safe as any other city in India. Only Kashmir is inflicted by riots and has a conflict environment. My sister had no doubts when she made the decision to pursue MBA from IIM Jammu. In fact, even our parents did not worry about her relentlessly.
As a part, a little concern on their part is justified. But if the riots and conflicts are the reason your parents can rest assured as Jammu is a very safe city.
Moreover, IITs and IIMs are institutes of great national importance. Hence strict regulations are imposed to maintain safety within the campus.
The ideal number of years of work experience for an Indian business school's standard 2-year MBA program is between 2-3. However, in the United States, the ideal work experience for the MBA program is 5 years or more. Also, in India, if you can get into top schools, your higher work experience can be compensated. With this work experience, IIM Jammu will never be a good fit.
If you drop this year and try again next year, your work experience will be around 5 years, and the funnel will need to be even narrower for the 2-year program. Another option is to attend a foreign business school, but this will be expensive.
In light of the fact that an MBA is more of an investment than an academic achievement, you are advised to proceed with caution. Furthermore, the program moves at a breakneck pace. Make a thoughtful decision by taking some time to think things through.
I see that you have got accepted into IIM Jammu but still are willing to switch to a better IIM.
Regarding the fees, lessening you will have to refer to the prospectus. I think there is a certain date beyond which there might be a fixed deduction.
But this process of deduction and refund will take place at IIM Jammu itself and does not concern the new IIM you will be joining.
So whichever institute you are joining next, the admission process and fees deposition will begin afresh.
