Which college should I prefer for an MBA between IIT KGP VGSOM NMIMS Mumbai IIM Ranchi SP Jain marketing SIBM Pune and IIT Delhi DMS?

AD
Adiksha Das Posted On : March 13th, 2023
Studied at Department of Management Studies, IIT Delhi

 When choosing your desired colleges, it is recommended to consider the following options in the given order:

  1. SP Jain - Despite the high fee, the maximum salary package offered was INR 52.16 LPA, while the average salary package stood at INR 32.06 LPA during 2022 placements, and the job roles offered are on par with top-tier institutions like FMS or IIM ABC. Missing out on this opportunity would not be wise.
  2. IIM Ranchi/IIT Delhi - If you are an engineer, it is recommended to go for IIT Delhi as the MBA course structure is heavily inclined towards statistics and technology. On the other hand, if you are interested in pursuing a career in HR, IIM Ranchi is the best option due to its reputation for providing excellent HR placements and the prestigious IIM tag.
  3. SIBM Pune - Although not on par with the previously mentioned B Schools, this college is one of the biggest brands you can opt for. The average salary for the 2021-22 batch was INR 23.06 LPA and the job roles offered were on par with the new IIMs. Additionally, you will benefit from a robust alumni network due to the college's age.
  4. NMIMS - While this college is located in Mumbai and might be a good option for students from that area, the high fee can be a concern. However, it is known for its Finance specialization. 
  5. IIT KGP - As this college only accepts engineers, the batch will not be diverse, and neither will the job roles offered. Given the other options provided, this college may not be the best choice for you.

It is important to consider each option carefully and choose the one that best fits your needs and career goals. Take your time, do your research, and make an informed decision.

Which B school should I choose between VGSoM IIT KGP and IIM Nagpur?

PS
Pranay Singh Posted On : February 4th, 2023
MBA in General Management, VGSOM, IIT Kharagpur (Graduated 2021)

When considering graduate business programs, it is important to weigh the various factors that may influence your decision. IIT Kharagpur's Vinod Gupta School of Management (VGSoM) has a long legacy and robust alumni network, spanning over 25 years. In contrast, IIM Nagpur, a newer institution, has graduated only three batches so far. VGSoM also boasts a spacious campus of 2100 acres, while IIM Nagpur does not have its own campus.

While the fees for both programs are roughly the same, the average package at VGSoM is significantly higher at INR 19.36 LPA compared to INR 13.21 LPA at IIM Nagpur. However, IIM Nagpur does offer a unique opportunity for students to spend one trimester at IIM Ahmedabad and receive mentorship from the institution's faculty. Additionally, for some individuals, the IIM tag may hold additional prestige.

It's worth noting that the IIM tag is highly respected for older IIMs and certain regional campuses such as IIM Trichy, IIM Udaipur, and IIM Ranchi. However, for baby IIMs like IIM Nagpur, the tag may not hold as much weight when compared to an esteemed institution like VGSoM which holds the IIT tag and offers an MBA program that is semester based, while IIM Nagpur offers a trimester-based postgraduate program.

Which MBA college should I prefer (background is from B.tech hons (CS) and have 15 months work experience), IIT KGP or IIM Trichy?

JD
Jaideep Kumar Dutta Posted On : January 13th, 2023
FPM Accounting and Finance & Corporate Governance, Indian Institute of Management Ranchi (2019)

The best way to answer your query is to mention the core highlights of MBA from both institutes.

IIT

  • The MBA course here is more of technical nature as the program is one of the many departments of a huge Technical institute
  • The peers are very talented and genius 
  • The small batch size increases the opportunities for placements 

IIM Trichy

  • The MBA experience here is much more diverse and challenging. You will find peers from diverse backgrounds.
  • The pedagogy here is top notch as they specialize in this area
  • IIM Trichy has a better academic rigor and their style of Management education is too good
  • IIMs offer better food and infrastructural facilities 

I will sum up my answer with 2 points. If you are looking for job prospects outside India, IITs are a good choice. But within India, IIMs are a better option as their style of Management surpasses that of IITs.

Which is better - metallurgy at IIT Kharagpur or electrical engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar?

PR
Priti Roy Posted On : July 9th, 2021
Studied at Jadavpur University (2019)

The answer to this question is determined by what you are passionate about. A large number of students choose to go for electrical engineering. This branch guarantees a lot of lucrative placements. You can also hone your skills while working.

My friend graduated from IIT Bhubaneswar and he thinks it is a great institute for pursuing electrical engineering. The only thing missing in new IITs is exposure and strength.

IIT Kharagpur is an old IIT and things are very organized there as the old ones are more often than not. You will have more industrial connections and you can hone your skills in coding. You can enhance your knowledge of artificial intelligence and IoT among topics that are trending.

Most Indian students do not have much passion to work in companies based on core metallurgy. If you are concerned about your placements then the circuit branches like CSE, ECE, EE, EEE are better than the rest of the branches.

Electrical engineering involves a lot of mathematics along with physics so it is difficult. Metallurgy, on the other hand, includes physics, chemistry. Despite being a relatively easier course, if you happen to lose interest, completing the program can really become a chore. Both courses take a lot of effort to complete so choose wisely.
