Which is better, a PGDM in banking and financial services at IMI, Delhi or a PGDM general in LBSIM, Delhi?
I can speak with certainty that PGDM at LBSIM is a far better option than PGDM in Financial services at IMI Delhi. My brother is a recent pass out from LBSIM and the following highlight of the institute are based on his personal experiences
- The IIRF ranks LBSIM 25th among private colleges
- It has a spectacular ROI in terms of placements and fees
- LBSIM is famous for its student culture
- You can get an insight into various angles of the industry you will be dealing with in the future
- You can avail an abundance of opportunities through live projects and get to have a detailed experience in your specialization.
- The institute prioritizes a practical approach over theoretical knowledge through academic activities outside the classroom
- Various academic and non-academic clubs make the environment a friendly one
- The institute boasts of a 100% placement record
- It has an elaborate alumni network that is spread across top companies like Big Four’s, Arcesium, Marsh & Mclennan, Asian Paints, Crisil
- LBSIM collaborates with various international universities for its student exchange program. Some of them include Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Northern Illinois University, USA, European Higher School of Economics and Management, Bulgaria etc.
- A unique feature of the B School is its Bloomberg Terminal which is restricted to the top B Schools like IIM B, IIM C, and FMS only.
All these points clearly state that LBSIM is a very good choice for a PGDM program.
Why is IMI Delhi not good for somebody with an experience of 2.5 years? I have got a PGDM offer from IMI Delhi and I was looking for honest opinions about the college.
I cannot agree with the claim that IMI Delhi is not good for someone who has an experience of more than two years. My friend told me that her batch in 2020 had an average work experience of 32 months.
Joining an elite B School is not enough. Once you have successfully joined the desired B School, you need to make constant efforts to remain at the top. Just getting admission is not enough. You need to work relentlessly and meet the standards of the institute.
Even if someone has an experience of more than 2 years, he cannot cut down his efforts to remain at the top. He needs to maintain his sincerity toward academics because there is tough competition. Giving your best is the key once you have been admitted to a good B School. Keep aside secondary factors like work experience and pay academics.

Is it true that MBA marketing freshers are offered sales jobs? Even if they are from JBIMS or SIMSREE?
This is true for almost all the B Schools. Many B Schools offer sales jobs to MBA Marketing freshers even if they are from JBIMS or SIMSREE. There are some logical reasons behind this are as follows:
- You need to know the basics to understand the higher level of knowledge
- Eventually, you will be responsible for managing large teams. So with a sales job, you are familiarized with handling teams that do core sales.
- The exposure connects you with various people in the hierarchy
- Your ultimate role in life will be a salesperson as you will be seeking your idea to go Manager or a business idea to your CEO, so it’s better to enter early in the field and grasp the basics.
The requirement of experience depends solely on the company you are applying to. But I will personally suggest you be flexible and open to all profiles rather than targeting a single one.
Which college is good for an MBA with 44 months of experience, K. J. Somaiya or IMT Ghaziabad?

Which is best among NITIE Mumbai, SIBM Pune, and IIM Rohtak for MBA?
In terms of placement, NITIE is the best followed by SIBM Pune, and finally IIM Rohtak. In terms of brand value, IIM Rohtak comes first, followed by NITIE and then SIBM.
Depending on whether you want the IIM tag, you should attend NITIE, SIBM Pune, or IIM Rohtak for Operations. NITIE has a firm grasp on operations and is well-known for it. Furthermore, the Mumbai location is advantageous. If you want to pursue a career in marketing, SIBM Pune should be your first choice.
IIM Rohtak will be considered after these two colleges because it is a relatively new brand that, like the other IIMs, will take time to establish itself.
Is part time MBA from NMIMS worth after 4 years of experience in software industry?
A part-time MBA does not hold as much value as a full-time MBA does. One of my friends with an Executive MBA degree said it can only be a helping hand to support growth in your existing company or similar roles. It cannot provide much exposure. It will help you grow in the company you are already in.
For instance, if you similarly want to be promoted to a TL role or Mid-level managerial role in the same field, a part-time MBA can provide an edge, given the competitiveness, and can partly also assist in job role changes in the same organization.
However, in the case of a complete career shift, a part-time MBA can be a demanding approach. You will have to evidently prove your best side in the competition.
It is suggested that you take into account your long-term goals, before arriving at any conclusion. That translates, a part-time MBA can probably provide a short-term career uplift, while simultaneously an executive or full-time MBA program can most definitely boost your future career exposure and lift you to better profiles with ease.
How is Bangalore university for mba?
The MBA program offered by Bangalore University is average at best. The academics are decent. But the university doesn’t ensure 100% placement and hence a good return on investment. Bangalore University placements have an average package of around INR 5 LPA.
There are many better MBA colleges available in Hyderabad, such as NMIMS, Ashoka School of Business, IMT, etc. Hyderabad colleges also offer better placement opportunities due to the locational advantages.
