Is IMT Ghaziabad a good institute especially for specialising in IT?
IT at IMT has an advantage because its batches are tiny. The disadvantage is that few IT-specific jobs are available because the college is primarily concerned with placing its enormous pool of graduates in marketing and finance.
However, during my period, practically all IT students were placed. The infrastructure is adequate but needs to be more outstanding (there are computer laboratories with SAP and SPSS licenses. Some supplementary courses are offered; one of them was an Analytics certification course). So, if you are planning to pursue IT from IMT, I suggest you to go for it.
Which is a better college between IMT Ghaziabad for an MBA in marketing or Delhi School of Economics for an MBA in International Business?

With 10 years of experience in a professional field, a person rises upto the mid-senior level in his/her career. He/She has gained a lot of experience in the field. But after certain positions, a person without Management exposure will have a stagnant career and growth will be slow.

Will more than 36 months of IT work experience prove to be a roadblock for getting a good marketing profile and B-school placement after an MBA/PGDM at the IMT in Ghaziabad or NMIMS?
This should probably not affect you as most good B-schools have a career-first mindset. On the other hand, a few recruiters might have a different mindset where this could be a drawback.
But, you can also change perceptions during interviews after you have proved your capabilities in screening tests. With your experience, you might have already handled a few projects in your field. This means that you probably are well aware of how basic operations in carried out in industries you worked with. You can definitely talk about this in your interview.
Other than this, you can also talk about improved manners of execution and your point of view when it comes to product development. This should surely work in your favor. Other than this, you can also apply some of the management techniques that you will learn in your 2-year course.
After your MBA you will possibly be expected to give your opinions at the ground level because, at this point, you are on the intellectual side as compared to the executor side. This is where people with more work experience are valued because your previous experience will come in handy.
Just focus on working hard and you will definitely succeed.
