Is it worth pursuing an MBA from IIM Trichy? I am a business consultant making 6LPA now, so worried about the financial results from Tier 2 IIM.
Joining an IIM solely to get placed at a high-paying job is not the right perspective. A working professional should pursue an MBA to enhance his skills and acquire extra knowledge. You should be looking for the following in an MBA
- The new skills you will acquire
- Understanding of the new tactics of Businesses
- Learning the art of discipline and other work ethics
- Bonding with people from diverse cultures and hierarchies.
- Conducting case studies and broadening your problem solving skills.
Only if you value these aspects can IIM Trichy benefit you in any way. But if you focus just on ROI, it’s high time you target IIM A B and C only.
Are New IIMs (Trichy, Udaipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Raipur, Kashipur) good for MBA in Finance? If not suggest some B-schools. Really interested in investment banking.
Honestly speaking, a career in investment banking should not be considered by the new IIMs. It’s a too ambitious profile to match the relatively new curriculum of these IIMs. Even if you are in a top B School, you will have to remain among the top students to get placed for a front-end role. One can still get roles in corporate & business finance but getting roles in Investment Banking is rather difficult.
Yet if you are not choosing an older IIM and want to choose a newer one, IIM Trichy is the best among them. The order is
IIM Trichy > IIM Udaipur > IIM Ranchi
There are many B Schools apart from IIMs that offer great Investment Banking roles. These include SPJIMR, JBIMS Mumbai, IIFT, and XLRI.
What are my chances of getting into IIMs, XLRI, FMS, IIFT with 92% in 10th, 74% in 12th, and a CGPA of 8.2? What percentile should I aim for?
Getting into top B-schools depends on your profile and academic grades as it plays a major role in the marking system in PI. The scores mentioned in the question are good enough and you have a good chance of getting into IIMs, XLRI, FMS, and IIFT.
Moreover, if you are aiming for the top B-schools of the country stop restraining yourself with the thought of what's the minimum percentile. Aim for the full score and try to maximize as much as possible.
Try not to follow the cycle of multiple attempts and increasing a little percentile over the past one just to get in a B-school of your choice. Just Give it one shot but make it your best.
Going by the academics you mentioned, I'd say there's nothing that you can do about it now so stop worrying and focus on your preps. Just give you the best in your attempt and make sure you convert the calls which will eventually land you up in one of the finest top B-schools.
Is the ISB in Hyderabad any good for an MBA, or is any university in the USA better?
ISB is not limited to Hyderabad only but has a second campus at Mohali too. Anyways comparing an Indian school with a US school is outright illogical and unjustified. ISB Hyderabad’s ranking speaks of its own worth as it stands in the 27th position in FT Rankings. The Financial Times rankings are one of the highly esteemed rankings and only a few top Indian B Schools have been able to make it there.
Comparison of ISB Hyderabad with the US B Schools cannot be done vaguely and proper parameters should be defined. Going through the FT Rankings might clarify your doubts regarding other B Schools and which one to choose.
ISB Hyderabad is a world-class Indian B School in the sense that it offers the following unique facilities
- The duration of the MBA program is 1 year in contrast to the 2 years duration of the MBA program at other B Schools.
- The institute offers a Global MBA degree in India
- The visiting faculty is top-notch, consisting of big names from foreign universities like Wharton, Harvard, LBS, and Kellogg.
- The placement scenario at ISB Hyderabad is excellent
- The peer group has students from diverse backgrounds
- The institute offers an enriching research culture to research enthusiasts
All these make ISB Hyderabad one of the most coveted B Schools in India.
I have been shortlisted for DCP program in IMT G and MBA BM in XIMB? Which one would be better among the two?
I would say that you should definitely choose XIMB.
It's their primary program, and it will be much better than IMT G's DCP program. Just because of cost. The DCP program has fees that are over 22 lakhs and an average package of around 9 lakhs per annum. In contrast, the XIMB BM program has an average package of 13 lakhs per annum and fees of 15.40 lakhs for two years. Also, keep in mind that the DCP program is still new, so there won't be much support from the business.
I would have considered IMT G if it was a full-time program. If you can move up to IMT Ghaziabad and want to get an MBA with a focus on marketing and entrepreneurship courses, you should choose IMT Ghaziabad. But the DCP course fee isn't worth it for the same opportunity unless you want to work abroad, especially in Dubai.

Is it worth doing a dual MBA from ISB, Hyderabad?
I am assuming that by dual MBA you are referring to the PGP program offered at ISB Hyderabad that allows you to specialize in 2 majors. You can either choose one concentration area and one industry course or both concentration areas.
This program is definitely worth it as it provides a lot in a limited time. But I am not exactly aware of what you are expecting from this program so I cannot say with certainty whether this course will be worth it for you or not. What I am certain is that ISB Hyderabad has
- Excellently knowledgeable faculty
- Diverse peer groups
- Strong alumni network
So you need to understand your own goals and inclinations to determine the institute's worth.
Since nearly 75 percent of the IIM Ahmedabad graduates end up having unsuccessful careers, does it make more sense to give the GRE-TOEFL and go abroad for an MS?
Firstly your opinion regarding IIM Ahmedabad is false. IIM Ahmedabad is one of the best B Schools with its alumni working at big firms. Your claim that 75% of IIM Ahmedabad graduates end up having unsuccessful careers is wronged.
Maybe your definition of success is a bit retarded. Success does not necessarily mean becoming a CEO, CTO, or CFO. Success depends on how much your hard work and efforts are paying you back. IIM Ahmedabad excels in this aspect as the placements provided by this B School are top-notch.
It’s the massive impact caused by IIM Ahmedabad’s alumni that big firms keep visiting the campus again and again. They know the surety of the talent and offer big packages. Apart from these, MNCs worldwide are now hiring from this B School. The brand IIMA is recognized across the world.
Now if you are confused between MS and MBA I think you should analyze your own interests. If you are tech-savvy and prefer technological work over management then even choosing MS can make you successful.
