Which would be better: a PGD course at the IIM Ahmedabad or a master's in management at London Business School?
One of my friends was in a similar situation a few years back. After taking to the faculties of LBS, he decided to join the IIM Ahmedabad PGD course. Here are the reasons why.
- Masters in Management is a new course and doesn’t have much industry recognition. So, there aren’t many placement opportunities.
- Be it academics or placements, MiM students stay in the shadow of MBA students. It is not a good option if you have an ambitious career plan.
- MiM at LBS costs a lot and there aren’t many scholarship options available. Many MiM students choose to do an MBA later, which just doubles the cost.
- US has a vis permit issue for the non-Europeans, which makes it difficult to secure a job after graduation. Many students come back to India after completing their degrees.
When it comes to management education, IIM A is the best there is. Even a diploma for IIM A will have more value in India compared to a MiM from LBS.
Which one is better: a PGDM-BKFS at TAPMI or a PGDM at Great Lakes Institute of Management?
If you're interested in TAPMI's BFSI-oriented course, it would be a good idea to speak with seniors of that particular program for more information. However, if you're considering TAPMI's PGDM program in general, it is a pretty good option.
Great Lakes Chennai's PGDM program is relatively new, but it's already picking up momentum. The average salary package for its second batch was around 8.75 lakhs, and companies like Coke, Airtel, Lava, Snapdeal, Amazon, HDFC, Axis, Kotak, and many others recruited from the program.
It's important to note that placements are just one aspect to consider when selecting a program. Great Lakes Chennai also boasts some of the best faculty and infrastructure in India, making it a great choice for those seeking a high-quality education.
Overall, it's important to research and considers all aspects of a program when deciding where to pursue your MBA, including the course offerings, faculty, infrastructure, and placement opportunities.

Can someone share their interview experience of MBA from DMS, IIT Delhi?
My friend was an Economics fresher and appeared for an MBA interview at DMS, IIT Delhi. The answer is courtesy of his experience with the panelists.
The entire procedure comprised of WAT, Documents Verification, ECA document verification, and PI
Everything was done systematically and in an organized manner. The WAT was a 30-minute process and she was made to write on Outsourcing. After the ECA, she was escorted to the interview room where she found 2 female panelists.
They asked for her brief introduction, something that is more than just her name and educational background. On hearing about her passion for writing she asked what kind of writing she was into.
Owing to her interest in hockey, they asked her some related questions like
- what improvements does the Indian Hockey team need
- Who was her role model from the team and why
- Why she did not pursue a hockey career
- Did she choose the game because of it being the national game ( which it is not thus being a trick)
Next she was asked about her School life, age, and past academics. She walked if she had any prior working experience. Being an economics student they asked her
- What is elasticity and asked her to draw a graph
- They asked her what would happen if the demand for a water bottle would be increased
Lastly they asked her about her weakness after which she was asked to leave. The overall interview was a good experience mainly because the panelists, one of which was an alumnus, were friendly and lightened the tension.
Which is better, NMIMS or IIT Mumbai for an MBA?
No doubt all the institutes you mentioned are excellent in their respective standards and fields. But the primary element that should be stressed before choosing a college is what kind of MBA you are looking for. You should determine the specialization you are willing to go for, the kind of curriculum and crowd you are expecting, and various other factors.
You need to keep in mind that an MBA degree will pose just as a stepping stone to success and cannot guarantee your success. The ultimate determining factor is the level of knowledge you gain and how you perform throughout.
All the Institutes you mentioned are top-notch and are globally recognized knowledge hubs. You cannot make a choice just on the basis of your preference. You will have to work tremendously hard to make it into these esteemed institutes.
Which is better: PGDM or MBA from NMIMS?
MBA and PGDM are more or less similar. The latter is considered to be a diploma and the former a degree. The Mumbai campus of NMIMS provides an MBA degree and a PGDM degree.
If you pursue an MBA you will be studying more of the theoretical aspects of management. An MBA institute will be following a fixed curriculum as it will be based on the university guidelines.
If you are pursuing a PGDM course you will be gaining knowledge regarding building soft skills and the programme is more industry-oriented. An autonomous institute does not have to follow university standards, so it is free to change its curriculum according to industry standards and change in the business environment. The course will prepare you for a senior level position in a company.
It is suggested that if you are willing to do business management, be it MBA or PGDM, consider only the Mumbai campus, as it has better placements and opportunities than Hyderabad or Bangalore.
What will be the course and hostel fee at BIMM for the PGDM course? Is it worth taking admission at BIMM Pune?
BIMM Pune fees for PGDM are as follows.
| Type of Fees | Amount (in INR) |
| Course fees | 1st year - 4.80 Lakhs 2nd year - 4.10 Lakhs |
| Hostel fees | 67.50k |
The hostel accommodation is good. Students are offered all basic amenities. The fees charged also include breakfasts.
It’s worth taking admission at BIMM. The institute ranks among the best management institutes in the region. The recent BIIM placements have witnessed an average CTC of INR 5.4 LPA. Many reputed companies take part in the placement drive.
Is a BITS Pilani MBA good or bad?
The campus won’t play a major role in your future. It is based on the talent and skills of the student in the core subject. You should strive hard for a better future.
BITS Pilani is not good at placement when compared with other leading institutes in India like IITs and IIMs, but BITS is better than the third-grade institutes. So it is better to focus on your improvement in the subject rather than the college.
What is the future scope after completion of quantity survey & contract management from NICMAR Hyderabad?
Quantity Surveying and Contract Management (QSCM) is an excellent course offered by NICMAR Hyderabad. You will be able to study almost all of the important subjects included in the ACM curriculum. Contract management, arbitration and conciliation, rate analysis, and valuations are all considerations.
Project management software like Primavera P6, MSP, Candy CCS, are also included in the Qscm and Acm curricula.
I've been in touch with alumni from the QSCM batch, and they're doing well in the industry. The majority of them work in Gulf countries for some of the best construction firms and Project Management Consultancies, while the rest work as Managers in domestic companies.
