As per the placement report 2023 (for PGP and IPM), the average package for the placement season was 30.21 LPA. The median package was 27.2 LPA. EY, HUL, Google, Hitachi, etc. visited the campus with placement offers.
As far as satisfaction goes, it is not only about the salary package. IIM Indore is a premier business school that offers top-class education and exposure. I know of people who graduated from IIM Indore and got decent-paying jobs. But their main goal is to earn a good certification and ample exposure in corporate. Their ultimate aim is to work on their startups. They want to build sustainable and successful enterprises.
This is my complete take on the placement stats at IIM Indore. I recommend you prefer a holistic approach while selecting your management college.
As one of my friends who studied at IIM Indore, I might be able to help you answer your question. Go through the following points and see if you get a clear understanding.
After you have acquired the login details, you will have to go to the respective website and fill up the already accessible application form. Then pay the examination fee of about INR 1400 via online monetary methods of payment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The IPM course is a five-year integrated course in management and after completion, you will be awarded an IPM diploma and not a degree. In order to do so, IGNOU was introduced to offer IPM students a degree.
IIM Indore has taken care of students needs who are willing to appear for further competitive examinations such as UPSC and others. Getting a degree will help them to apply for higher education.
In IGNOU, you can choose any subject as your graduation subject and many students even choose B.A or B.Com as their subject. If you wish to opt for 3 years, then you will have to give exams for IGNOU from where you will get your BA or B.Com degree. The students who complete their post-graduation get a PGDM and the students who opt for IPM get an IPM diploma.
