Which B-School is better between IMI Delhi, K J Somaiya and GIM Goa?

SD
Sheena Desai Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
Lives in Goa, India (2022–present)

Of the three B-schools, my favorite would be GIM mainly because of the high ROI it offers. Also, the community you spend time with becomes your family. Spending 2 years in your program makes you closer to your juniors, seniors, faculty, and your own batchmates. There is tremendous harmony between everyone and you develop a sense of community while spending time with them. You don’t necessarily have to socialize to develop networks, the process is rather natural. You know almost everyone on campus and even some visiting alumni by their first name. You don’t have to necessarily be a part of a club or committee and can seek help or information from anyone at any anytime.

The faculty comprises professors with Ph.D. degrees and experience of more than 10 years. There is no compromise on the quality and GIM hires the best faculty.

GIM lays great emphasis on the holistic development of students by encouraging activities like movies, games, treks, outings, and extracurricular activities. This does not mean you can compromise in your academics. You have to equally focus on completing your assignments, projects, and other class readings. Balancing your academics with extracurricular activities is tough initially but once you get adapted to it, it will make your corporate life better in the long run. You will focus more than just your work and spend some time on extracurriculars also.

Goa Institute of Management is a good choice only if you are seeking more than just a degree. If you are seeking a rich learning experience and a community that will stay throughout your life, then this is the best choice for you.

Which is a better option, NMIMS in Bangalore or Goa Institute of Management for PGDM in finance?

SL
Saija Luthra Posted On : March 1st, 2023
Career Counsellor (2001–present)

NMIMS in Bangalore is widely recognized as one of the top business schools in India, with a history of over three decades of successful operation. The reason why companies visit these institutions for placement is due to the reputation and quality of their students. NMIMS is proud to have both of these factors.

When it comes to tuition fees, it is typical for top-tier PGDM colleges to have similar fees. This can be attributed to the quality of education and resources provided by the NMIMS and Goa Institute of Management for PGDM in finance.

Goa Institute of Management is one of the top 40–45 B-schools in India. It has a highly modern and hi-tech campus and a proper B-school environment to study.

If you look into ROI, then it is not considered a good B-school. If you are desperately in need of pursuing an MBA, then you can opt for going to the Goa Institute of Management. If you have patience and can wait for next year, then you can opt for some other Management Institute.

  2. MBA (BE) - Department of Business Economics (DU). The college offers an average CTC of around 8 to 9 lakhs.

How good are XIMB, Tapmi, and GIM?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : May 27th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

In terms of ranking and brand value: XIMB> Tapmi> GIM

XIMB has been achieving stellar growth year after year and is associated with the Xavier group.

Tapmi and GIM are somewhat in a similar league and their placement figures are more or less similar. However, the roles offered in these institutes differ. While Tapmi is known for finance, GIM stands out in marketing. Between these two I would recommend going for Tapmi over GIM because of 2 reasons:

  • Tapmi has a stronger alumni base and there is more discipline inside the campus.
  • The fees of GIM are on the higher side and offer a poor ROI (Return on Investment) compared to Tapmi.

Does GIM,FORE,KJ Somaiya & SIBM-Bangalore provide 100% placement? What is the lowest,highest,and average package offered from these B-Schools in the last few years? Which one will be the best to join?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : September 5th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

GIM, FORE, KJ Somaiya, and SIBM Bangalore offer 100% placement support to the students. It is a bit grim to figure out the lowest packages as they do not provide exact information. In fact, none of the colleges could guarantee a job from their side; instead, they could assure plenty of opportunities. The aptitude, capacity, and performance in the interview play a chief role. 

Let us have a deeper look at SIBM Bangalore-

Many giant recruiters approach the college every year, and most of the applicants get placement in the first half of the academic year. The technological advancement in the classrooms, student-centric learning process, skilled and capable scholars, strong alumni network, and international links make SIBM one of the leading management institutes in Bangalore. 

Based on these facts, you can choose SIBM Bangalore. Whatever decision you make, choose wisely.
