How is the Post Graduate Program In Management (ePGPx) with IIM Rohtak?
- The minimum number of years in business school is ten. ISB Hyderabad is an exception because they have only focused on the PGPX format of the program since its inception.
- A very strong alum base thus supports placements because placements in these programs are typically lateral in nature.
- A very strong faculty base with international or very rich corporate exposure to support the program.
- A rich and varied corporate immersion program to aid in the successful integration of the program's participants and sponsors (SP JAIN does well here).
- Then, to top it all off, a robust infrastructure.
What's your take on the withdrawal of IIM Rohtak from CAP?
I think it is a good tactical decision for IIM Rohtak to improve its worth and image among the second-generation IIMs.
Despite being younger than IIM Shillong it is considered among the second-generation IIMs because it has been a part of CAP. If you look at the current situation, IIM Shillong functions from a temporary campus and yet has its own WAT-PI process. On the other hand, IIM Rohtak has its own permanent campus but lacks its own WAT-PI process. Now its withdrawal from CAP will enable it to stand out from the second-generation IIMs.
From the student's perspective, this strategy has increased their chances of getting selected as now if they fail to perform well in CAP, they can rely on Rohtak's own WAT-PI process and vice-versa.
How is the IPM of IIM Rohtak? Do you find it on par with IPM IIM Indore?
Comparing IIM Indore’s program to IIM Rohtak, there is a simple conclusion- IIM Indore is better than IIM Rohtak in almost every aspect.
Similarly, IIM Indore's IPM course is better in every case scenario. This is because of
- Older campus
- Better faculty
- Better connectivity with the industry
- Better global image
- The credibility of the course is far better
- Better Alumni network
- Better competition
- Stronger brand name
- Better location
- Better placements
These are some parameters on which IIM Indore has an upper hand over IIM Rohtak. Also IIM Rohtak overall has lost its rankings over the past few years due to various controversies. So it’s best you don’t risk your career and go for IIM Indore instead.
What should I choose, IIM Rohtak IPM or IIT?
Firstly both the institutes IIM Rohtak and IIT offer 2 courses in 2 different fields namely Management and Engineering. So the first thing you need to do is find your interest and then choose the college. In case you are interested in both, I will suggest you go for IIT because
- The first and foremost reason for joining IIT is that you can still pursue MBA after engineering but not the other way around.
- The program is relatively new and lacks credibility.
- The fees is extremely high
- The recent controversies at IIM Rohtak regarding IPMAT have ruined its reputation as an IIM.
- There are many B Schools both IIM and Non-IIM that are better than Rohtak. So I will suggest you go for them.
- It’s the PGP course of IIM that enjoys the most credibility owing to its strong alumni base. The IPM program lacks in this aspect a lot.
IIM Rohtak has very few graduates in the market because of its new establishment. Because of this, it lacks in many aspects so I won’t suggest you risk your career by choosing it.
Is there any state quota in IIM Rohtak?
- Schedule Caste: 15%
- Schedule Tribe: 7.5%
- OBC from the non-creamy layer: 27%
- 4% are differently abled.
Is it worthwhile doing an FPM course at the IIM in Rohtak
The answer to this question is subjective as it depends solely on your career inclinations, your purpose of pursuing FPM, and what you plan to do after it. It is best suitable
- If you want to pursue research in management
- If you want to enter academics and pursue a career in teaching/research faculty
For the above two cases, the FPM course is the best option. Despite being a new course, it is taught by the best faculty and through excellent pedagogy. This course equals a Ph.D. and can open doors to teaching at IIMs. The job is decent with high pay. All you need to do is invest your time and effort in the course.
The only drawback of this course is that there are no placement opportunities for FPM students.
Which one should I choose between Thapar COE and IIM Rohtak IPM?
One of my friends was selected for the 2018–22 batch of Mechanical engineering. However, she was not very inclined towards joining it. Mainly because she was not very passionate about Engineering.
I will suggest you join TIET only if you are an avid fan of Engineering and are considering it seriously as a career option. But I personally feel that IIM is a better option if you aren’t sure about Engineering. The IIM tag offers enough credibility to make it a worthwhile course.
My friend's marks were not very good so she could not understand how she had made it into TIET. This altered her decision to pursue engineering. She further told me that the curriculum and campus life at IIM Rohtak were not as substandard as it is rumored to be. So it’s high time you conduct thorough research because this decision is the turning point of your life.
Will the new upcoming IIMs like (Rohtak, Ranchi, Trichy) overtake the SPJIMR in a few years?
Except for IIM Rohtak, the new upcoming IIMs like Trichy and Ranchi face tough competition with SP Jain. They are almost in the same league based on certain parameters and are bound to overtake SP Jain in the future. Let’s discuss some of these parameters
- Students profile: IIM Trichy takes in students with a slightly higher CAT score than SP Jain thereby the quality of the batch is better.
- Faculty: The faculty of IIM Trichy is comparable with SP Jain in many areas.
- Placements: Although the placements at SP Jain are better than these new IIMs, they have been stagnant for the past few years. Moreover, the placements at IIM Trichy and Ranchi are getting better every year.
- Growth potential: SP Jain has a decent growth potential but not more than the new IIMs. Their potential looks more promising.
- Alumni base: SP Jain has an upper hand in this aspect due to its early establishment.
- Location: SP Jain is at a better location than the new IIMs and they might suffer because of this. Yet some consider the city of Trichy not too far away from Mumbai and the disadvantage does not seem that huge.
All in all, there are high chances of the new IIMs taking over SP Jain anytime in the near future.
Should I join IIM Rohtak IPM?
The IPM program of IIM Rohtak is not at par with the PGP program and therefore I will suggest that you should go for it only if you have no better options. The reasons why I am against this program so much are
- It is one of the most expensive Undergraduate courses in India and the final placements are not worth the huge fees.
- The course is relatively new so they are still experimenting with the curriculum and pedagogy decreasing its credibility.
- Despite stretching over 200 Acres, the IIM Rohtak’s campus is partially not completed.
- The ROI is extremely low
- There is no mess facility adding to the already extravagant fees of the institute.
- The faculty is below average. To compensate for this they hold guest lectures.
Considering all the above points, I will recommend you to take up an Undergraduate course from any college and then go for an MBA from a top B School. By doing IPM you merely will be wasting 5 years and over 30 Lakhs.
What do I choose: IIM Rohtak or IIM Trichy?
You should apply to IIM Trichy. They are more accurate, the staff there is excellent, and you take the two-year program well-prepared for a career that moves at a remarkable rate. Your case will also benefit greatly from your increased ability to handle work-related tasks.
IIM Trichy's faculty is among the best in India. They have extensive experience and are experts in their respective fields. A lot of emphasis is placed on practical knowledge. Education is conducted using case studies, group projects, and oral presentations. Industry exposure is greatly enhanced by the guest lectures of subject-matter experts. Overall, a very good faculty group.
The highest and average packages offered during the 2022 placement drive, according to the final IIM Trichy placement report, were INR 34 LPA and INR 17.01 LPA, respectively.
