Which course should I choose between IIML ABM, SPJAIN IM and IIM Shillong PGP?

Which is the better option, JBIMS or IIM Lucknow?
Considering the ROI and fees, JBIMS is a better option than IIM Lucknow. Also, it is affiliated with Mumbai University so has a brand name also. But in reality, these factors are short-term and cannot be considered if you are investing in your career.
Overall, IIM Lucknow has an upper hand in almost all aspects. Be it placements, faculty, or brand name. Had I been in your place I would have chosen IIM Lucknow mainly because
- Strong alumni base spread throughout India and even globally
- It is a residential campus. The hostel facility is top notch and living and interacting with your batchmates is a great experience.
Both these aspects are lacking in the case of JBIMS because it is standalone and has a very weak alumni network. It also lacks accommodation facilities.
Overall both colleges have roughly the same worth and choosing one over the other is just a matter of preference.
Which one is better between IIM Lucknow PGP sustainability Management and IIM Shillong PGP and why?
IIM Lucknow is one of the older IIMs and therefore has a stronger alumni base. IIMs mostly specialize in Core Management and Investment Banking. So before you consider taking Sustainable Management look up at the figures and campus records.
Sustainable Management is only beneficial if at the end of the program you have formed professional colleagues or have come up with a business idea.
Currently, Sustainable Development lacks the demand and credibility enjoyed by other domains. So it’s a risky choice and should be considered only if you are serious about it or don’t have any other options.
Which is better IIM Lucknow or IIM Calcutta for marketing? How much do marketing companies care about academics? Does Workex care about academics? What is the package difference?
Despite everything, IIM Calcutta is a much better business school overall than IIM Lucknow, regardless of the field. However, if you do not receive an offer from Calcutta, you may consider Lucknow. Some companies may not shortlist you because there will be candidates with far superior academic credentials. However, this is not a sufficient reason to avoid attending an IIM. You will have numerous opportunities to enhance your CV within the b-school through academic performance, winning b-school competitions (which often leads to a direct PPI), participating in PORs and other extracurricular activities, live projects, and so on.
Regardless of your prior academic performance, you will almost certainly be better off with an MBA from IIM Calcutta or Lucknow than without one, assuming you don't waste the two years in b-school doing nothing.
Which is the best among IIM Lucknow, Kozhikode, FMS and MDI (mainly in terms of placement and learning)? Commerce background with good academic background and 3 years experience.
Having read some reviews online about IIM Lucknow, IIM Kozhikode, FMS, and MDI, here are some things I got to know which might be useful to you.
- IIM Lucknow and IIM Kozhikode both are older brands. They have a proper recruiter base, alumni network, campus life, infrastructure, and better placements.
- FMS also offers low-cost and decent placement facilities, but students of FMS claim to have no campus life and any eventful experience.
- MDI is considered to be decent. Thankfully they have a better and more happening campus life, unlike FMS. Bain Capability Network recruits at MDI while Bain & Co. go to the other mentioned colleges.
So the order of preference would be IIM Lucknow > IIM Kozhikode > FMS > MDI. This is as per the major rankings including Times B-School categorization. So select the one that matches most of your interests.
Which one to choose: IIM L PGP-SM course or NITIE PGDIM?
For an SCM background, PGDIM from NITIE will be a better option.
NITIE PGDIM focuses on core management and operations, while IIM Lucknow PGP-SM focuses on sustainability management.
For students from an SCM background, learning core management is of greater value. You will learn marketing, HR, and finance in depth.
Sustainability Management focuses on micro and macroeconomics to sustain the business environment. Sustainability Management is becoming increasingly important in management studies.It is becoming popular in the field of management. But the PGP-SM course will not cover core management.
