Is it worth choosing IIM Ranchi, Trichy for MBA in terms of placement and future scope?
Yes, you can easily choose IIM Ranchi or Trichy based on their placement statistics because the placement scenarios at both IIMs seem promising despite the lack of infrastructure and campus facilities. In many cases, Trichy and Ranchi have exchanged leads outside the ABC and LIK worlds. All can be overcome if you are taught by the best professors.
Elaborating further, IIM Trichy seems better than Ranchi or Rohtak to me. The reason being the superior teaching methods and its favorable location both for students as well as recruiters. Apart from Trichy, other IIMs are also doing fairly well compared to non-CAT MBA institutes. These are doing well with the help of sponsor IIMs which arrange faculty and placements. These in turn select their own Directors and invest in the infrastructure required in another 3–4 years as Trichy and Ranch have already done.
Shall I leave my job as a deputy manager in SBI with 4 years of experience and CTC higher than 12 LPA for FMS Delhi?
Well, firstly you should change your perspective before making a decision. I don’t think your CTC should let you decide whether you want to pursue MBA or not. Change your focus from CTC to long-term goals and I bet you won’t regret this decision.
Getting an MBA degree from FMS is a privilege in itself. Moreover, you can relive your college life without regrets this time. The top-notch B School will open amazing opportunities and let you gain experiences that you won’t regret ever. But you have to prepare yourself to face classrooms, books, exams, and tight deadlines.
So you should leave your job and go for FMS only if
- You are passionate about your goals and not only high packages
- You are ready to face college life once again
Don’t adopt the sheep mentality and pursue MBA just for high packages. Rather try to learn something from it that will help you in the long run.
I would like to join ISB (Indian School of Business) Hyderabad for a business analytics course. Is it good? Can I get a good job opportunity through this course?
My answer is based on my sister’s comparison therefore is brutally honest and objective. Some people might still be praising the Business Analytics course but trust me it’s their see efforts to increase its market value only.
I personally am here to convince you against the Business Analytics course. My sister was a student in the same program and even after relentless efforts for 1.5 years, the results were nowhere near expectations. In Fact, she suffered throughout the course and her career was affected a lot in the process. The following points strongly support my opinion and might convince you of the same
Poor quality and substandard faculty who keep changing their rules
- The topics are covered very vaguely and no in-depth insight is offered. An entire topic is covered in 5 lectures that are technically just 10 hours.
- The assignments are not evaluated properly and you don’t receive any feedback from the professors that might encourage you to do better
- No placement assistance is offered to students in ISB Hyderabad
- The batch size is ever-increasing and has made ISB Hyderabad a money-marking Institute only.
- You don’t get to choose one area of Analytics that you want to specialize in and have to study irrelevant subjects that might be of no use to you in the future
- Despite the fees and everything, it’s just a Certificate program and not a degree or diploma
- The Certificate of Business Analytics is not approved by the Government of India and has little value officially
If you are really keen to pursue your career in Business Analytics, choose one area in analytics you want to specialize in and pursue that specific area only. For instance, you can choose a Big data or Machine Learning course and go through their concepts and look for jobs and internships in that area specifically. This is a faster and much more focused way rather than joining the CBA program.

Are the job profiles offered at MDI Gurgaon on par with IIMs like LIK, not ABC? How much effort does one have to put into his future to get on par with the IIM graduates if one graduate from there?
IIML is clearly superior to MDI in non-marketing specializations in terms of placement. However, IIM I, K, and MDI are generally equal in terms of placements, except for a few banks that specifically seek out the IIM tag at I&K. If you work equally hard at either campus and all other operational factors are constant, you will likely end up in a similar position whether you choose MDI or I or K. However, as mentioned before, IIML still has the edge and requires more effort if you're in the finance or consulting field.
If you're interested in MDI, it's worth noting that recent placement reports show more and more prestigious finance and consulting companies are visiting the campus. This has helped MDI deliver well-rounded placements. So, if you're willing to put in the work, MDI could be a good option for you.
How is life after completing an MBA from IIM Nagpur?
Once you end your college life, life is not the same anymore. You end up missing every moment spent whether enjoying or studying for your exams. Once you step into the real world you realize it’s now that the real-life issues begin. I have listed some good and bad things you will experience as an IIM pass out
Good things
- Your living standards will have been improved because of the high package you received
- You will have a new circle of friends
- Many aspirants will look to you for inspiration.
Bad things
- As an IIM pass-out, you will have to live up to its name and brand. People will expect you to excel in whatever you do.
- You will be mistaken as arrogant because of your IIM tag
- High tax payments have to be made
- You have to repay the educational loans you have taken and sometimes it takes years to do so
Apart from these situations, you might face serious criticism if you give up your job and initiate entrepreneurship.
Currently, my elder brother is placed at Cognizant as a senior business analyst at 14 Lakh CTC in IIM Kashipur. How much would he be earning in the next 5 years?
The IT industry today is flourishing and is facing a huge shortage. So he will definitely land a great job especially if he is a BBA/BCOM graduate.
Cognizant does not have very fast growth. So depending on his performance, and economic and academic background, he might witness growth between 2% to 10%. If he is an engineer from the IT stream, his growth will be faster.
In my personal opinion, his IT background does not make him suitable for IIM Kashipur or even Lucknow. An IT software engineer with 2 years of experience earns around 18 to 20 lakh.
How is your life after IMT Ghaziabad?
I know a friend who led a stagnant work life before joining IMT Ghaziabad. After completing his MBA from IMT Ghaziabad, he was offered a much higher salary. His profile did improve but then life challenged him with other problems. He worked as a BA in an American firm. After working for 2 years he finally switched to a Big 4 firm.
IMT Ghaziabad is an old Institute and one’s career prospects depend more on their own motivation and determination here. If you are serious about succeeding you can make the best of the 2 years here and get good roles.
I have seen many students able to get placed because they belonged to the lowest level in class and many same students who were mediocre in studies but managed to grab good roles. So luck is another factor that determines your prospects.
Most of the IMT Ghaziabad alumni I Know are doing great in their careers and belong to the topmost level of their organizations. INT Ghaziabad has impacted the lives of many and its alumni are a living example of the same.
Should I join Accenture or IIM Raipur?
Your question basically means whether you should gain experience or pursue MBA from IIM Raipur. In my opinion, joining IIM Raipur is the right choice because
- You have cleared CAT and got selected. This might never happen in the future again due to the unpredictable nature of CAT. So don’t lose this opportunity.
- Joining Raipur right now is almost similar to going for a better B school 2 years later as Raipur might be flourishing till then.
- Even if you work and join IIM Raipur later, your disinterest in the job might be reflected in your interview thus becoming a negative impact on the panelists.
The fear of joining a new IIM is common as one is investing huge amounts of money. But you need to remember that every new IIM becomes an old IIM one day.
