Which is better IPM course in IIM Indore or B.Tech CS in DTU?

SV
Shubhangini Verma Posted On : August 27th, 2021
Studied at Xavier School of Management (2019)

IIM Indore and Delhi Technical University (DTU) are both very good institutes for their respective courses. The better option among the two will be DTU if the student is not interested in either the Management course or a tech course. A close senior of mine got a choice between DTU IT course and IPM course in IIM Indore and he decided to go with It course in DTU because: -

  • Placement in DTU is much better than IIM Indore for the past few years.
  • The IPM course is for 5 years whereas the IT course is for 4 years.
  • Students who want to pursue a master's degree like MS or MBA get a better opportunity and have chances of getting a good job offer.
Categories IPM at IIM Indore B.Tech in CS at DTU
Course Fee 26 lakh 7.81 lakh
Course Duration 5 years 4 years
Highest CTC 25-28 LPA 15-20 LPA
Average CTC 14 LPA 8-10 LPA
Recruiting Companies ICICI Bank, Nestle, Asian Paints, American Express, etc. Capgemini, Wipro, Infosys, IBM, etc.

The IPM course now has been converted into a degree course, But still, students usually prefer the 4-year B.Tech course rather than the 5-year long IPM course. If you want to study management after your class 12, then IPM will be a good option for you.

Which are the top branded institutes/colleges/university in India like IIM Indore IPM for doing dual courses of BBA+MBA after 12th Commerce?

VS
Vihaan Sharma Posted On : January 12th, 2023
IPM from Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (Graduated 2022)

IPM is a five-year integrated management program that combines either a BBA or BMS with an MBA. Students who want to pursue careers in management and leadership after completing their XIIth or higher secondary education can register for these courses. Only students who are certain of their goals and who are interested in management should enroll in this integrated course because, over the course of five years, they will only learn about business management and how to become the ideal manager.
These integrated programs are unique in that they offer dual degree programs as well. A second entrance exam is not required in order to enroll in a graduate program. To enroll in the course, there is only one entrance exam.
The following list includes some of the top IPM colleges in India along with information on how to apply.

  • IIM Indore launched the IPM program in 2011 for young students who wanted to go into management or leadership after finishing their XII classes. The program's learning objectives are broken down into the first three years of the bachelor's program, and the following two years will follow the PG program's curriculum.
  • IIM Rohtak launched the IPM program in 2019 and was successful in quickly filling 150 seats.

IPMAT is the entrance exam for IPM (as opposed to IPMAT for IIMI), and it has a different exam format and scoring system than IIM I. Following WAT and Interviews at designated IIM R locations, the second round is conducted.

  • The oldest existing university is Mumbai University, which is situated in Mumbai, Maharashtra (1857). With 60 seats available for the course, it offers an integrated management program that divides the first three years into a BMS degree and the final two years into an MBA degree.
  • Following the 12th grade, Jindal Global Business School has developed this innovative and distinctive course of an integrated program that includes BBA(Hons)+MBA and lasts for five years. It is a course that equips students with a global outlook through a special approach to learning and communication. 
Choosing a college wisely has become increasingly important, so students should not only pay attention to the college's physical facilities but also to the curriculum it will use for their semesters. This provides students with a clear picture of the courses they will be taking at that specific college. One thing to keep in mind when reviewing the curriculum is that UG courses shouldn't be repeated in PG courses because this would lessen the integrity of the courses and allow students to observe evolution in them.

Has anyone rejected SP Jain for IIM Indore?

SG
Shweta Guddin Posted On : August 31st, 2021
MBA Operations and Supply Chain, S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (2021)

Many people reject IIM Indore/Kozhikode for SPJIMR and vice versa. This is because, at the end of the day, it depends on your goals. Generally, most of the top B-schools have an excellent quality of education and other decisive factors.

As the question is quite subjective, you might be surprised to know that there are more reasons to reject IIM Indore for SP Jain instead. Although IIM Indore would bring you the IIM Tag there's nothing much to vouch for as it's newly established and isn’t at par with top IIMs like Bangalore, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, etc.

However, here are some reasons why SP Jain stands as a better choice.

  • You can choose a specialization. Whether it is consulting or GenMan.
  • Your specialization phase is about 3-4 months in the second year.
  • SPJIMR has all the required subjects for modern industry needs. They also have a rural immersion, international immersion with partner schools in the US.
  • You can participate in a course where you can be a part of the committee. Also an opportunity to mentor an underprivileged child. 
  • All these activities instill skills of being a well-rounded manager in you.
  • You can also learn interesting and innovative subjects like Design Thinking.
  • SP Jain boasts a smaller batch size than IIM which means you get to interact more closely with your mentors.

Overall, MBA at SPJIMR is quite an experience. Yes IIM Indore must also have advantages like brand tag or alumni base, but you can enjoy better subject structure, schedule, smaller batch size, better placements, etc. at SP Jain. In the end, it’s totally an individual preference.

What has more value, an IPM from IIM Indore or a BBA from some reputed college and then an MBA from some top IIM?

FS
Farah Shah Posted On : January 12th, 2023
Studies Integrated Programme in Management, IIM Indore (Expected 2024)

First, keep in mind that you're looking for a program that will help you develop your entire personality while also giving you access to cutting-edge amenities and facilities and an assured MBA from one of the best B schools in the nation. The IPM course offered by IIM Indore is ideal for you if this is what you're looking for.

If, however, you are solely interested in a BBA program and are confident that you can enter IIM ABC after BBA despite the competition from roughly 2 lakh engineers, then go for it.

However, if you choose to do so, you also have the choice to leave the IPM after receiving your undergraduate degree and enroll in a better business school to complete your MBA. Therefore, if you must choose between the two, it is advised that you go with the first because it will give you better exposure, a more competitive environment, better amenities, and a rare opportunity to graduate from an IIM that is among the top 5 in the nation.

Both IIM Indore Mumbai Campus and MDI Gurgaon are very good institutes for Management Studies. Both institutes are on a par with each other on an academic level however there is a slight difference when it comes to job opportunities and such. Another factor is the alumni network. IIM has a better alumni network than MDI.

Which college is better, IIM Indore (Mumbai campus) or Welingkar?

RP
Riya Padnekar Posted On : August 28th, 2021
MBA at IIM Ahmedabad (2022)

I have friends from both IIM Indore (Mumbai campus) and Welingkar, and here are some facts about the institutes based on the conversations I had with them. 

  • Brand Name: When particularly considering the brand value of either institute, IIM Indore (the Navi Mumbai campus) is several steps ahead of Welingkar.
  • Rankings: IIM Indore has rankings and can be considered better, as compared to Welingkar.
  • Infrastructure-wise: The infrastructure of Welingkar is comparably better than IIM Indore as of now. However, the infrastructure of an institute should not alone be the deciding point of whether or not it is worthy. 
  • Quality of Students: The quality of students is comparatively better at IIM Indore, which clearly translates to students performing reasonably better in competitive exams like CAT and other relevant ones. 
  • Placements: The only downside, of IIM Indore (Navi Mumbai campus), is its placements. Since students from this campus compete against IIM Indore students during the final placement session, their chances of being recruited get slightly deducted. Provided the circumstances, Welingkar can be possibly seen as a better option. According to the recent highlights the average CTC offered at IIM Indore (Mumbai) campus is around 12 LPA, while the average CTC for Welingkar is around 8 LPA. 
  • Locational Advantage: In terms of the location, Welingkar is ahead since it is located in the Matunga/Dadar area. It is in close proximity to the business hub of the city
  • Fee Structure: Considering the program fees, the immediate ROI of Welingkar will be supposedly higher than what it is in IIM Indore (Navi Mumbai campus). Welingkar costs almost 10 - 11 Lacs, while IIM Indore (Navi Mumbai campus) will comparably cost around 16 - 17 Lacs. 

Even though both institutes are doing their best on the field, IIM Indore will comparably reap better benefits in the long run.
