Is it good to join PGPM FLEX program offered by Great Lakes Chennai for a person who is 2 year experienced in financial institution?
The Great Lakes PGPM program claims to help you in switching jobs or functions by enhancing your knowledge base and managerial skills. But the truth is far from this. I know a friend who is an IT engineer with 8 years of work experience who completed the PGPM flex program to switch from the tech stream to the management stream but failed to do so. The result might be different for you though. So the subjectivity can best be clarified through the following pros and cons
Pros:-
- PGPM Flex has a diverse curriculum comprising a wide range of subjects taught by professionals who are experts in their respective fields.
- You will get a taste of the regular courses because of their similar pedagogy and curriculum.
- Your peer pool will be a mixed bag from all over the country so the learning experience is unique.
Cons:-
- The degree is invaluable in most organizations.
- Does not affect your future prospects to a great extent.
- The degree is not recognized by WES.
Overall, the degree adds little value to your profile though the effect may vary from person to person.

One of my friends got accepted at NM (Mumbai), Manipal, and several such prestigious universities among others. Finally, he chose IMT Ghaziabad as it is a really good college.
- It is among the top B-schools with an extremely cooperative and prestigious faculty.

- The infrastructure is decent there and the learning environment developed around the campus is highly encouraging.
- The seniors offer great assistance when it comes to assignments, provided you seek their help before.
- From the academic aspect, the competition is high but if you study well, you will find your way to the top.

Which is the best for an MBA out of Fore School of Management, Delhi and IBS, Hyderabad?
FORE School of Management is definitely the better choice than IBS Hyderabad. It is better in almost all aspects when compared to IBS Hyderabad. The table below has drawn a slight comparison on the basis of some basic factors

- The batch-size of FORE is much less than that of IBS Hyderabad thereby increasing the quality of education and placement opportunities
- The average CTC of FORE Management is also higher than that of IBS Hyderabad
- The fees is almost similar of both the schools and when compared to the average package, FORE has a better ROI than IBS Hyderabad
- IBS Hyderabad has better rankings than FORE, but this stems from the fact that it is the oldest B school.
An additional feature of FORE that sets it further apart from IBS Hyderabad is its International Immersion Program. This program offers the kind of exposure you cannot even get at a reputed B School like IBS. You get exposed to the Global corporate world and the best part is that its fees are included in the course fees. So considering all the points mentioned above I conclude that FORE is a far better choice than IBS Hyderabad for MBA.

Whatever the situation is, be sure that PIBM Pune will provide enough opportunities in terms of academics and placements.
What kind of placements do lawyers get after an MBA from ISB Hyderabad?
My friend is both an LLB and a company secretary. She graduated from ISB Hyderabad a few years ago and was offered a plethora of opportunities in both legal and non-legal positions. She claims the placement scenario to be beneficial. She was interviewed by 4-5 recruiters and received offers from 2 of them. She had also applied to a boutique I-Bank in Singapore and was offered a decent position there. All these clearly state the versatile opportunities a lawyer can get after doing an MBA from ISB Hyderabad.
My friend finally opted for a management consulting firm on campus. Her work revolved around the legal and financial structuring of infrastructure projects. Soon after she left the job and became a CEO of a hospital. She finally settled with her own private Legal Practice and today she helps people and companies with their legal problems. The conclusion from her career journey is that a lawyer has many opportunities post-MBA. All he needs to do is make the best out of each.
How would you compare KJ Somaiya's PGDM with NIRMA's MBA in terms of placement and opportunities? Which one will be better?
Comparing the 2 B Schools that are KJ Somaiya and NIRMA, I would say both are equal in terms of placements, opportunities and exposure. The only factor you need to consider here is location. NIRMA is a good choice if your hometown is nearby. But if you want to enjoy your college life, explore and make memories, KJ Somaiya is the best. Located in Vidyavihar, a student-dominated area in Mumbai, it has an amazing campus with top-notch facilities.

What is better choice doing MS in Management from USA or doing MBA from top B schools like JBIMS, FMS, ISB, XLRI, SP JAIN (IIMs excluded for a while)?
One of my friends was pursuing the One Year Management Program in the US. So, I can give you the scenario of doing management from the US.
Pursuing a one-year program from the US is not a good option, no matter which university you are choosing.
- As they lack in providing internship opportunities. International students also find it hard to get job opportunities because of their visa sponsorships.
- Before enrolling into any B-school first get clear what you want from the course and university.
- Above mentioned, JBIMS, FMS, ISB, XLRI, and SP JAIN, all are good and give you a good job opportunity.
- While MBA programs from ISB, FMS, XLRI are economical, SP Jain Mumbai and Jamnalal Bajaj Mumbai are also good.
Therefore, before getting into any B school first become clear what you want. If you want to work in the US, then go for a full-time MBA program from the top 20 colleges only.
Which one should I choose, IIM Kashipur or IIT Madras for an MBA?
Choose IIT Madras for an MBA if you want lower fees and a smaller batch size. However, if you want to be a part of a community that is rich in experience, with a rigorous curriculum and a reputable college, choose IIM Kashipur.
After a few years, people will notice the amount of effort you put in to establish yourself in a competitive corporate environment, better in an IIM than an IIT Madras. You will be sorry that you did not attend an IIM when you had the opportunity. IIMs have a stellar reputation in the MBA field, and there is a reason for this.
You must always choose IIM Kashipur over IIT Madras.
