I have got admission from IIM Lucknow and I am expecting to convert from FMS Delhi. I am aware of the ROI and average salaries. Which one should I choose? What are campus life and job offers like?

SG
Samarth Gaur Posted On : January 9th, 2023
Studied at IIM Lucknow

You should definitely attend IIM Lucknow rather than FMS Delhi. IIM is a brand, a distinguishing mark that will stay with you for the rest of your life. You never give up the IIM tag for FMS, no matter how much it costs.

The FMS campus has a dingy canteen the size of a bungalow, women dressed in glittery clothing roaming around, and plenty of heat and dust. There are also no hostels. You must take a PG if you go there. Food will be provided by the PG and nearby vendors.

In terms of finances, IIML fees are not comparable to Harvard fees. If you have given money to coaching institutes, you can certainly afford IIML. You may need to take out a loan, but you can certainly afford it.

Anyway, back to culture and way of life. In comparison to FMS, IIMs are king-size. Acres of land, well-kept cultivated greenery, a clean campus, and tasty mess food. Any IIM mess is better than most engineering colleges' mess, and Lucknow's Mess is delicious. The sports complex includes a large swimming pool, Jacuzzi, steam bath, large courts, and other amenities. Every two months, there will be massive student festivals where you can interact with students from other IIMs. You'll get a free membership to a nearby club where you can wine and dine. The student exchange program with Europe at IIM Lucknow is fantastic. You have the opportunity to study alongside international students and make friends from all over the world.

During the IIM Lucknow summer placements for the 2022-24 batch, 570 job offers were made and over 185 recruiters visited the campus. Aside from that, the highest and average stipends offered during summer placements at IIM Lucknow for the 2022-24 batch were INR 3.5 lakh per month and INR 1.41 lakh per month, respectively.

Is it advisable to go for new IIM like IIM Jammu and do MBA? It is being mentored by IIM Lucknow so will placement be also mentored by them?

TG
Tanmay Ghosh Posted On : February 12th, 2024

IIM Lucknow does mentor IIM Jammu. But this mentorship extends only to the faculty, curriculum, and pedagogy of IIM Jammu. Most of the faculty of IIM Jammu and IIM Lucknow are the same. Also, the pedagogy and curriculum of both these colleges is the same. But IIM Lucknow does not look after the placements of IIM Jammu in any way.

It isn't correct to assume that the students of new IIMs aren’t as good as those of the old ones. The students of IIM Jammu have won several competitions. They are strong competitors for IIM A and B students. 

Apart from this, IIM Jammu has a Student Exchange Program. It allows deserving students to complete a trimester at a European college. The placements of Jammu are on par with other baby IIMs. But you won’t get the same placements as the older IIMs. Finally, IIM Jammu carries the prestigious ‘IIM’ tag, which holds a lot of value in the industry.

The choice is completely yours, but I would personally recommend IIM Jammu for an MBA.
