Is the IPM course at IIM Indore better than doing engineering, followed by management in top IIMs?
If you are willing to pursue MBA after the completion of your engineering then IPM is the good option for you as you can complete your IPM in five years while engineering and MBA together will be for the entire six years. If you go for IPM, you will have one year of job experience after six years.
In the IPM program, you will get to learn relevant courses in the undergraduate (first three years), while the things you will learn in engineering, will not be of much use in an MBA.
IPM gives you a chance of doing an MBA from an IIM. If you want you can also attempt CAT to get into another IIM, after 3 years of the course.
If you are determined to do an MBA after gaining some experience, then IPM gives that option too. After two years of the IPM program, you will have the chance to work for two years. After that, you can come back and pursue your MBA from IIM Indore.

Why does IPM by IIM Indore have a very high fee structure?
IIMs are a set of highly prestigious management colleges in India. They are the best in the country as per various rankings like QS (global) and NIRF (national).
Their academics is top notch, and their curriculum covers all the important aspects of management studies. Also, the placements of IIM Indore are top notch. To ensure the smooth running of their administration, the IIMs tend to charge hefty amounts for their courses.
On top of all this, upon clearing the IPMAT, one is spared from giving CAT. Plus, for the next 5 years, one gets to study management from some of the most qualified teachers, under the IIM Indore brand name.
These can be some of the reasons why the IPM course at IIM Indore has such a high fee.
What questions can be expected in an IIM Indore IPM interview?
The questions in an IIM Indore IPM interview are mostly about academics. They are focused on your personal introduction. That is, your hobbies and interests are well taken into account and questions will be asked right on that to check the depth of your 'desired field'.
They inquire about your favorite subjects and pose questions about them. They want to know why you want to take the course, what your future plans are, your strengths and weaknesses, and your knowledge of current events. They also assess your general knowledge and mental alertness. Though the questions are simple, you will be bombarded with them in order to put you under pressure.
If they believe you are well-versed in your subjects, they will dig deeper and only leave you if you are exhausted. If you succeed in all of this, you will undoubtedly find yourself inside the circular column of IIM Indore. The IPM interview is one-of-a-kind, personifying the course itself. It is both difficult and simple at the same time.
How good is SCMS Noida's BBA programme? Is it comparable with SCMS Pune?
For BBA, SCMS Noida is the best college. But like B.Com, after BBA you won’t be eligible for a job.
SCMS Noida is not comparable with SCMS Pune as it is an old institution and has a different level of reputation. Along with that, the students of SCMS Pune have a better peer group than SCMS Noida which affects the environment of SCMS Pune. As there are good students in SCMS Pune, it develops a healthy competition on campus.
SCMS Noida does have a locational advantage as it gives you exposure to Delhi NCR industrial zone.
If you are considering BBA, you can also keep Christ University as an alternative.
Is NM BMS better or NMIMS BBA?
NM College BMS is a better option compared to NMIMS BBA. The course fee is nominal. The total course fee for the 3-year long course is around INR 84,000. While NMIMS BBA total fees are around INR 9.30 lakhs. NM College placements are good. The median CTC offered was INR 4 LPA during the recent placement drive. The ROI is definitely better compared to NMIMS BBA.
Which college is better for BMS, Hinduja or KJ Somaiya College of Arts and Commerce?
I have a few friends from KJ Somaiya College of Arts and Commerce, so I can give you some insight into their BMS course.
KJ Somiya is not a good option if you really want to pursue BMS for knowledge and not just for the sake of a degree. The teaching experience for BMS at KJ Somiya will not be satisfactory.
If you prefer knowledge over a degree, then you should go to some other better colleges such as MCC in Mulund. But, if you just want a degree in BMS then you can opt for KJ Somaiya. KJ Somaiya has a huge campus. This is advantageous if you want to bunk lectures and have fun sometimes.
Is IPM IIM Rohtak worth it?
IIM Rohtak is a very newly established IIM that has yet to make its place in the IIM family. Because of its recent establishment people deem it not worthy of the IIM tag. But in reality, it’s gradually picking up pace and by the time its first batch will graduate (2024), it will have climbed the ladder higher.
People think the IPM program offered by IIM Rohtak is a backdoor for people who want to escape the CAT exam. In reality, most of the students plan to give CAT or GMAT or both at the end of their third year.
Even if one compares Rohtak and Indore, we can clearly see that Rohtak is way ahead of Indore. The first batch placements of Rohtak are better than Indore.
Some consider the lack of connectivity and cost also a reason why Rohtak is not worth it. But let me shed some light on this matter. Rohtak is just 70 km away from Delhi. The International airport is just an hour or two 's drive from the campus. So the connectivity issue is resolved here. As far as the cost is considered, one should not underestimate the 5 years he will be spending at an IIM campus with top-notch facilities and the most learned faculty and brilliant peers. All the investment is worth it. The final decision is yours to make but does remember that IIM Rohtak will have climbed the ladder in just a few years.
