What should I choose between an MBA from IIM Amritsar and central excise inspector or other inspector jobs from SSC CGL?
Looking at the 2 options provided by you, I can say IIM Amritsar is definitely a better choice. I have seen many people regret going for CGL.
Excise Inspector is the worst post of CGL and many of them retire as superintendents themselves. The transfer is banned in CBIC so no matter which remote area you have been posted to, you have to stay there for 15-20 years until you become Assistant Commissioner which is rare.
You can change your life in two ways
- Crack UPSC
- Or leave the post and prepare for CAT
You can become a CEO through the second option. I have many acquaintances who left the CGL and went for CAT and today are entrepreneurs or CEOs. Surely the job at CGL provides security but the job itself is not worth it.
How are SIOM and SIBM B as compared to tier 4 and tier 5 IIMs like Ranchi, Raipur, Udaipur, Nagpur, Amritsar, etc.?
IIM Trichy, Ranchi, Raipur, Udaipur, Kashipur, and Rohtak are way ahead of SIOM and SIBM-B. The average package at these new IIMs is greater than INR 11 LPA whereas the lowest packages at these institutes are around INR 6.5-7.5 LPA. You will be astonished to know that the lowest package at these IIMs is almost equal to the average package at SIOM and SIBM-B.
Moreover, IIMs is in itself a brand and therefore promises better growth. This is the reason that these new IIMs despite their early establishment are at par with SIBM-Pune and SCMHRD.
Which college is better, IIM Amritsar or BIM Trichy?
Don’t think twice before choosing IIM. You should not underestimate its brand name despite it being a new IIM. The more you invest in your education the higher ROI you will get. No matter how the institution is, your own efforts count more than anything. Genius minds grab opportunities even from a small college. And here we are talking about an IIM. Work hard, enjoy your MBA and see yourself flying in the next few years.

What is the cutoff for IIM Amritsar (general) and other baby IIMs (estimated percentile required for conversion, not just calls)?
It is possible to achieve a high percentile in the CAT exam, such as 99+, and still not receive an invitation from any Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). This is because a high percentile alone is not always sufficient for guaranteed acceptance.
It is important to note that IIMs take into consideration a candidate's overall academic performance since the 10th standard and not just their CAT percentile. Additionally, candidates must also clear the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. Furthermore, candidates from an engineering background may have a slight disadvantage in terms of points.
Some IIMs also place a significant emphasis on work experience.
| Category | Quantitative Aptitude(Percentile) | Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning(Percentile) | Verbal & Reading Comprehension(Percentile) | Total(Overall Percentile) |
| Section-1 | Section-2 | Section-3 | ||
| General | 80 | 75 | 75 | 85 |
| EWS | 80 | 75 | 75 | 85 |
| Non-Creamy Other Backward Classes (NC-OBC) | 65 | 60 | 60 | 75 |
| Scheduled Castes (SC) | 55 | 50 | 50 | 55 |
| Scheduled Tribes (ST) | 35 | 35 | 35 | 40 |
| Persons with Disabilities (PwD) | 35 | 35 | 35 | 40 |
It is highly recommended to visit the official websites of the IIMs you are interested in for detailed information on the selection criteria and to keep yourself updated. You can also connect with current students via LinkedIn to gather more information. It's important to note that selection criteria can slightly change every year.
Which one should be preferred between Great Lakes, Chennai PGPM, and IIM Amritsar?
When considering which postgraduate management program to pursue, there are several factors to consider. One such factor is the duration of the program. Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai (GL) offers a One-year PGPM program, while the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Amritsar has a 2-year PGPM program. If you are looking to re-enter the job market sooner, Great Lakes may be a better option for you.
Another factor to consider is the alumni base of the institution. Great Lakes has a larger alumni base than IIM Amritsar, which may provide more networking opportunities. Additionally, Great Lakes offers a unique Karma-Yoga program where students learn leadership skills while giving back to society by helping the surrounding villages.
It's worth noting that IIM Amritsar is a relatively new institution, established only around 7 years ago. While it has the coveted IIM tag, it may not have the same level of prestige or reputation as older IIMs. However, if the IIM tag is important to you, and you are willing to work harder than your peers and give your best in those 2 years, IIM Amritsar may be a good option for you.
Ultimately, the decision of which program to attend will depend on your personal priorities and what you want to gain from the program. It's important to do your own research and weigh the pros and cons of each institution before making a final decision.

Which is better, IIM Amritsar or the Department of Business economics, Delhi University?
Considering the various factors that define a college’s worth, I personally think IIM Amritsar is better than the Department of Business Economics. I have arrived at this conclusion due to the following reasons
- The IIM tag no doubt is the major USP of any IIM.
- The placement scenario is much better than that of the Department of Business Economics mainly due to the IIM tag
- Both curriculum and faculty are better at IIM and thus there is more accountability than DBE.
- The high fees you invest in in reality help you to be more sincere towards your program. You don’t take it lightly when lakhs of rupees have been spent. This is enough of a motivating factor.
Which one should I join, XIMB BM or IIM Amritsar?
If you have to choose between XIMB and IIM Amritsar I will always suggest you go for IIM Amritsar. Apart from the IIM tag, its relentless growth is a major deciding factor. The ROI at XIMB is very less in comparison to IIM. The points below will help you understand my point.
- The fee of IIM Amritsar is INR 12 Lakhs whereas that of XIMB is INR 20 Lakhs.
- The Average package is almost similar to the 2 colleges ( IIM Amritsar- INR 14.63 LPA and XIMB- INR 15.42 LPA). So when compared to the fees XIMB has a lower ROI than IIM Amritsar.
- IIM Amritsar has witnessed fast-paced growth in recent years.
- It is the only and best MBA college in the whole of Punjab
- The batch size is smaller than that of XIMB and it’s an extra benefit when it comes to placement opportunities.
So IIM Amritsar is the best option among the 3 colleges.
Did RBI visit IIM Amritsar for recruitment as per the recent placement report? If yes, what profile did they offer?
IIM Amritsar has made its name in the IIM family due to the following
- Corporate Competitions’ Presence
- Student Achievements
- Placement Records
All these achievements have made it among the fastest-growing IIMs. So I don’t understand why people keep questioning and judging an Institute of National Importance.
Now coming to your question, yes RBI did visit the IIM Amritsar campus for recruitment last year for Summer Internships but the exact role and package were not revealed to the public. Try to get in touch with some batchmates to get this info.
