Ques. Which is best option, the executive program in sales and marketing at IIM Calcutta or the postgraduate certification in business management at XLRI, Jamshedpur?

● Top Answer By Shubham Bhoyar on 29 Nov 22

Ans. Only the full-time PGP courses of IIM Calcutta or XLRI are valuable. All other degrees/certificates are the only means of earning money by the institutes. They have no real value in real life or the corporate world. They won’t be very useful if you want to learn. They add no value to your CV You will not be considered alumni of the institute So these certificate courses/ part-time programs/ Executive programs carry no real value at all. Most people are misled to believe that they might add value to their CV. Read more

Ques. How good is PGPBM course (provided by IIM Trichy) at Chennai Center?

● Top Answer By Azhar Jafri on 12 Jan 23

Ans. The worth of a certain program depends on what you want to achieve after completing it. In case you want to just ameliorate your knowledge and skills, this course is indeed the finest option. But if you are pursuing it to receive a high-paying package, then your approach is wrong. Yes, it will open doors for better job prospects but you cannot directly grab a high-paying job right off the bat. Some major highlights of this course are as follows The faculty is highly knowledgeable and usually comprises doctorates from top B Schools within India and even globally. The course is rigorous as each subject is taught for 25 hours and requires preparation for 20-25 hours. The pedagogy is premium and involves a blend of case studies, theories encompassing fundamental frameworks, and the latest trends. A regular evaluation ensures complete involvement of the individual You will get the chance to study with a mixed crowd comprising marketing professionals, chartered accountants, plant heads, and entrepreneurs. The crowd diversity in turn enables top-notch peer learning and exposure through experience sharing. Once you complete this program, you will excel in your current job or the interview for your next job. Since the program is approved by banks, you can easily get 100% educational loans. In accordance with the latest IIM Law, you will be granted an MBA Degree and not just a PGDBM Certificate. Before I end my answer I will ask you to keep 2 points in mind. Firstly, this program is extremely demanding and you should not take it just as a side hustle. It needs complete involvement and determination on your part. Secondly, no placement opportunities are offered upon completion of this program so you shouldn’t rely on the placement committee.Read more
