Why is the IIM Lucknow Brand value increasing over FMS's, in the opinion of MBA aspirants?
Before I even answer your question let me contradict it. No, the IIM Lucknow brand value is not really increasing over the FMS in any aspect. If anyone really thinks so then he/she is just after the brand name. To clarify my point, I have listed out some strong points in favor of FMS that might change your mind.
- A cost-benefit analysis that includes tangible and intangible asset(s) evaluation will prove the fact that FMS certainly does better. Apart from this the ROI factor cannot be underestimated in the case of FMS.
- Your purpose of pursuing an MBA will very much determine the brand value of a college. If you just want to attach a tag with you for life then IIM it is, but if you are looking beyond that and want to be exposed to a self-discovery journey along with MBA, then FMS is for you.
- The infrastructure is indeed lacking when compared to IIM Lucknow, but this never means that it fails to impart quality education. In fact, FMS has given birth to many top-class management leaders.
- The batch size is very low in comparison to IIM Lucknow. This simply means more opportunities and less competition.
- FMS is a very old institute almost 60+ years of age whereas IIM Lucknow has completed half of this time only.
So we can definitely conclude that FMS is a fairly decent choice and that it’s just a misconception that IIM Lucknow is increasing in brand value. Someone has rightly said
At an IIM you loan your MBA, but at FMS you own it!
Is Jaipur National University good for MBA?
For MBA, Jaipur National University will not be a good option, as it is a NAAC B grade institute.
Faculty:
The faculty of this university is not very interactive with the students. They have good knowledge about their subjects. However, they are not aware of the latest development and technologies.
Infrastructure:
- The infrastructure of this college is outdated. The computers available in the computer labs are very slow and most of them are not in working condition.
- The chairs in the lab are also very poor and are not comfortable for the students to sit and attend classes.
- The food served at the hostels is not good. Also, the management doesn't even respond to the complaints of students.
Placements:
- The placements are good enough as the university has tie-ups with some popular companies in both technical and non-technical fields.
- Students receive job offers for the roles of software/website developer, database administrator, and outbound calling processes.
- Companies such as SAP, Capgemini, QMS India, Infosys visit the campus for interviews but the number of students recruited by these companies is very less.
- In the recent placement drive, the highest CTC offered at Jaipur National University was 12 LPA.
It will be better to avoid this university for MBA and look for some other better colleges such as Suresh Gyan Vihar University in Jaipur.
How will you rate NMIMS, SIBM, SCHRMD, XIMB, SJSOM, NITIE, TISS, SIMSREE for an MBA in finance, HR, and consulting on terms of faculty and placements?
Since you have asked this, I have mentioned separately which college stands where. It is what I gathered after researching about them and reading some reviews online.
In terms of overall ranking and brand value -
- TISS HR Program and NITIEs Operation will be a better choice among others.
- TISS-HR or NITIE- Operations>SJMSOM>SIBM or NMIMS>SCMHRD or XIMB>SIMSREE.
The functional preference would be -
- For HR: TISS>SCMHRD>SIBM>XIMB>NMIMS
- For Finance: NITIE>NMIMS>SJMSOM>SIBM>XIMB>SCMHRD>SIMSREE
- For Consulting: NITIE>SJMSOM>NMIMS>SIBM>XIMB>SCMHRD>SIMSREE
- For Operations: NITIE>SJMSOM
The QS World Rankings offers an accurate and up-to-date ranking of institutions across the world. The website takes a lot of aspects into account. It would be a good idea to consult the website before drawing conclusions. There are other websites too such as Global Education Report and International Education Research Report.
The world academic community recognizes the authority and credentials held by these and similar websites. In addition to that, the more certificate letters you have in your CV the more positively it will affect you.
Which is better for brand management: MICA or NMIMS Mumbai?
It would be recommended that you talk to the faculty, alumni, etc. of each of the schools and make an informed choice instead of thinking that either is 'bad'. Don't be naive and ask generic things like 'does a MICAn MBA have any disadvantages'. Remember, there are truly no absolutes and every institute can have its pros and cons depending on what you want out of it.
Assuming that you want to do Brand Management specifically, MICA is a great choice and potentially better than NMIMS given that it's a full-fledged specialization, something that MICA is known and reputed for, and you'll get good placements in that field. Additionally, MICA is known for its industry partnerships, collaborations, and real-world experiential learning opportunities, all of which can help you gain practical skills and industry exposure.
However, keep in mind that MICA is a niche school that focuses primarily on communications and marketing, so if you're looking for a more general MBA program that covers all aspects of business, NMIMS might be a better choice for you. NMIMS has a strong brand and reputation in the industry and offers a well-rounded MBA program that covers all the major functional areas of business.
Ultimately, it's up to you to decide which school is the best fit for your personal and professional goals. Do your research, talk to people in the industry, and consider your own strengths and weaknesses before making a decision. Remember, the school you choose is just one piece of the puzzle - your own hard work, dedication, and determination are what will ultimately lead you to success in your career.
Should I go for an MBA in IIM Indore or wait 1 year for better opportunities?
IIM Indore has a lot to offer: following strict deadlines, taking on more responsibility when planning events, working closely with various batch mates on different group projects, having intense discussions in class, competitive placement seasons, fierce competition to win corporate competitions, mesmerizing sunsets (and sunrise, oftentimes getting to see both), and a wide range of opinions.
Exams, case study competitions, live projects, and events will be fun times for you to learn with and from friends. You'll come out of your shell over the next two years. You'll develop a positive outlook on your skills and your career goals as well as the ability to accept challenges as brand-new opportunities. It all depends on how much work you put in on a personal level.
Which is better: an MBA from NMIMS Mumbai or a job through SSC CGL?
Comparing the two, an MBA from NMIMS and a job through SSC CGL are highly illogical. The prospects and magnitude of both career inclinations are totally different. Let’s conduct a general comparison on the basis of some common aspects
- An MBA from NMIMS needs a lot of investment while a job through SSC CGL does not. Considering the probability of getting a good job after my MBA, I think going with SSC CGL is a safer option.
- Your social status will be much better in the case of SSC CGL. You might face some drawbacks in your work life but in your social circle, you will be considered a man of great importance. Your family will be benefiting from your social status through good education. The salary is average, not less given the better social status you will be enjoying in contrast to working as an MBA professional in the corporate world.
- Analyze your social and personal responsibilities as an MBA professional as well as CGL. You might get a picture of what you are aiming for. Choosing an MBA is not worth it unless it's a firm top 5 IIM or you are looking for a career abroad.
So MBA will guarantee you a lot but money which does matter to an extent but not when compared to the reputation you will gain as an SSC officer. MBA requires a lot more than you think. It may groom you but not ensure a better social structure like CGL.
I have an offer from KPMG in their Strategy Consulting division. Also another option from XIMB to pursue MBA right after grad. What should I do?
If you are considering taking a job offer from KPMG, it would be wise to do so right away. KPMG is a reputable company and gaining experience there can be beneficial for your future career goals. One option after working with KPMG for 2-3 years would be to pursue an MBA. However, it's important to consider if you have the time and patience to prepare for entrance exams for top-tier B-Schools in India, such as the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) or XLRI. If you feel confident in your ability to do so, it may be more beneficial to gain more work experience before going for an MBA.
On the other hand, if you think that you would not be able to focus on preparing for entrance exams while working, an MBA from Xavier Institute of Management Bhubaneswar (XIMB) may be a more suitable option. Ultimately, it's important to consider your own goals and priorities when making a decision.
Which B-school will be the best for a person with 3.5 years of work among IIM B, IIM C, FMS, and NITIE?
IIM Bangalore assigns maximum weightage to work experience. A total of 8 points are added to the total percentile of the candidate in the case of students with more than 3 years of work experience.
The placement scenario at IIM Bangalore is also pretty good when compared with the other institutions mentioned. The top recruiters that visit the campus for recruitment purposes include Amazon, Accenture, American Express, and Bharti Airtel. The average salary offered to the candidates of the institute is INR 26.18 Lakhs per annum as per the placement reports of the year 2020.
IIM Calcutta does not consider the work experience for the selection procedure. FMS also does not give weightage to the work experience of the candidates but it is always beneficial to have certain years of work experience for the selection process. For NITIE, the students are judged based on their academic records, Group discussion, and Personal interview rounds. The work experience in the relevant field would however provide the candidate with an edge over the other ones though it is not mentioned anywhere by the institute.
So, a candidate with around 3.5 years of work experience would be the best fit for IIM Bangalore. IIM Lucknow can be the next suitable option for you as the institution offers 10 points to candidates with work experience.
Which one is the better option, a BBA from DU or from IIM Rohtak?
Many people consider DU as a better option especially if it’s any of the top 3-4 colleges. Yet I chose IIM Rohtak. Now I am going to list down reasons why one should choose DU or IIM Rohtak separately
Why one should go for DU
- You end up saving more than 10 lakhs which is a big amount
- The BBA course here is fairly new and promising
- The location advantage one avail while studying DU is far better than Rohtak.
- If one is sure that they can clear CAT
Why one should go for IIM Rohtak
- If you are a non-math student and have zero interest in commerce
- If you want to give one more chance CAT, you can give it after 3 years.
- The additional 10 lakhs rupees becomes more like insurance for your seat reserved in IIM Rohtak. This will save you from taking a year drop and an additional year to work.
Now on the basis of the above points, you can make a decision that suits you the best.
