Is it worth to do tourism and hospitality management course from IIM Sirmaur for the sake of IIM tag?
One very important aspect that people forget while choosing colleges is the leader under which the college performs. Without effective leadership, any new IIM will become a worthless B School. One such example is IIM Trichy. IIM Trichy prospered under the leadership of Director Sri Prafulla Agnihotri who made Trichy what it is today. He constructed it from scratch. Through his relentless efforts, he was able to attract top professors and build a sound faculty base. He managed to provide the best through the temporary campus itself.
The same person Director Sri Prafulla Agnihotri is now leading IIM Sirmaur so I can say with conviction that if not immediately, then gradually Sirmaur’s brand name will improve magnificently in the years to come. So surely it is worth joining IIM Sirmaur and do the Tourism and Hospitality course.
Are colleges like LBSIM/FORE better than? IIM Nagpur, Sambalpur, Sirmaur, and Jammu?
Top B Schools like LBSIM/FORE are incomparable to the new IIMs. They have been established for decades and the new IIMs cannot be included in them at least in the near future. Although some might say that some new IIMs are under the mentorship of old IIMs like Lucknow, they haven’t made the mark yet. Whereas the already leading B Schools LMSIM and FORE are on the verge of making it to the top. Even the IIM tag is of little value here.
Let me explain this through an example. You go to buy an electronic device and purchase a branded device. Yet the model is a very old one. It is of little value despite being branded. Same is the case here. The new IIMs do give you the IIM tag but it is of little worth.
Which is better IIM Sambalpur or IIM Sirmaur?
IIM Sirmaur will be better. It has a better location compared to IIM Sambalpur. The placement record of the institute is also better. Dring IIM Sirmaur placements 2022, students received a median CTC of INR 12.23 LPA. While the average CTC for the top 25% of students was INR 17.16 LPA.
IIM Sirmaur has a good start-up culture. It is an exciting time to be a part of the institute. You will get the opportunity to start clubs and committees and play important roles in organizing debut flagship events.
IIM Sirmaur PGP has an International Immersion Programme. It was introduced to make leaders who can understand and adapt to the latest requirements of industry from around the world. This program will be a differentiator in the CV.
What are the prospects of doing an MBA in tourism and hospitality from IIM Sirmaur? How would it compare with core MBA courses from other private AA and A grade MBA institutes?
Both the courses give an edge to each other and cannot be compared. MBA T and HM are specialized courses that should be taken only if you are inclined toward the field. It helps you to establish a career and knowledge of the Tourism and Hospitality industry.
The 2-year MBA flagship course has been standing for more than 2 years and therefore its curriculum cannot be compared to that of these recently launched courses. Some perks of these courses are
- Become a part of the legacy.
- Learn how to build everything from scratch by founding or becoming part of clubs and committees.
- International Job opportunities
- Himachal is famous for its tourism because of its beautiful landscapes. The tourism sector of Himachal Pradesh contributes 7% to the state GDP.
- You can contribute to promoting Tourism, increasing its capacities to serve foreigners while remaining settled in your hometown.
So this course is very beneficial for people who have a keen interest in tourism.
Should IIMs opened in 2015 (Jammu Sirmaur Vizag Nagpur) be preferred over IMT Ghaziabad?
No, I don't think the new IIMs should be preferred over a well-established institute like IMT Ghaziabad. I have seen many instances wherein people forgo offers from new IIMs to join IMT Ghaziabad.
The IIM brand has failed to convince students to join the new IIMs for a diploma. A cursory glance at the low placement figures last year at some of the relatively newer IIMs (Raipur, Rohtak, Ranchi, Kashipur, and Udaipur) when compared to their older counterparts, too, tells its own story.
Another important issue for management aspirants is that even if they are okay with the lack of infrastructure, full-time faculty members, and alumni, they cannot ignore the delayed start to the sessions at the new IIMs. While faculty members think that this time gap in starting operations can be bridged easily, students feel that they might lose out on their summer internships.
What would be a better choice: IIM Sambalpur, IIM SIRMAUR, or IMI Delhi?
When considering the three business schools in question, IIM Sambalpur, IIM Sirmaur, and IMI Delhi are in the same league, with IMI Delhi having a slight edge over the other two in terms of placements. This is due to the fact that it is older than the newer IIMs and has been in the B-Schools scene for a longer period of time. However, it is important to note that the newer IIMs have had a meteoric rise because of their IIM designation.
All three of these business schools are good in their respective positions, but if you have a slight preference for Human Resources, IMI Delhi may be the better choice for you due to the HR profiles offered to students and the school's reputation for its HRM program. Additionally, while the location of IMI may be more favorable, if you are looking to study and make the most of your next two years in a more secluded setting away from the hustle and bustle of a metro area, IIM Sirmaur or Sambalpur may be more fitting.
Ultimately, it is important to reach out to students and alumni of these respective business schools to gain a clearer understanding and make a decision that aligns with your own preferences and goals. It is important to remember that ultimately, the decision should be based on what will allow you to perform at your best.
