What are the disadvantages of getting a PGPM degree of 2 years from IBS Mumbai?
IBS Mumbai, a top Indian business school, provides a two-year PGPM (Post Graduate Programme in Management). Before enrolling in the program, analyze its pros and cons. Some drawbacks:
- Cost: IBS Mumbai's PGPM program is more expensive than others in India. Tuition, living expenses, and other expenditures may make the program unaffordable for some.
- Competition: Admission to IBS Mumbai's PGPM program is difficult. The Institute receives many applications, and the selection process is tough, so not everyone can get in.
- IBS Mumbai's PGPM program is general management, hence students may not be able to specialize. Consider a program that specializes in your career goal or interest.
- Location: IBS Mumbai is in Mumbai, which might benefit or hurt students. Mumbai's traffic and pollution can make living there expensive.
- Crowded Classrooms: The PGPM program at IBS Mumbai has huge class sizes, making it hard for students to gain individual attention from professors. Students who need extra support may find this difficult.
While IBS Mumbai's PGPM program has many benefits, including a strong faculty, industry connections, and good placement opportunities, it's important to consider the drawbacks before enrolling.
How much academically intense is the MBA curriculum at IBS Hyderabad?
The MBA curriculum at IBS Hyderabad is heavily focused on case studies. The academic department designs these case studies to help students improve their decision-making and interpretation skills. The case studies are distributed to students every week, and they are considered to be an interactive and comprehensive learning tool, combining both objective and subjective data to give a thorough understanding of the concepts.
You will find that your day is filled with back-to-back lectures, presentations, case study discussions, guest lectures by prominent speakers, and other skill development activities. In your first semester, you will have 8-9 subjects and lectures from 9:30 AM to 6 PM, which may make you feel that you have little time to relax.
Ultimately, it is up to you to make the most of the academic curriculum and resources provided to you.
What should i choose? XLRI or Ms in MIS from University of south florida?
It is a highly subjective question and largely dependent on what you want to do. Having said that, here I am concentrating on XLRI because it is a top MBA college in India, whereas USF is not in the creamy layer for MIS schools in the United States. If you are interested in a particular job role and believe that USF will provide you with a better opportunity where you can still apply.
You should always pursue something that you are passionate about; MBA or MS degrees from prestigious universities are both excellent choices.
If you want to go into management and learn how all business processes are integrated, an MBA from XLRI is a good choice. If you want to hone your computer or IT skills, then MS is a better choice.
What is the average salary package for a PGPM course at SPJIMR when it comes to placements?
During SPJIMR Placements 2022, the average salary of the PGDM students was higher than the PGPM students. The average package statistics are

|
Average Salary |
INR 23.6 LPA |
|
Top 25% Average Salary |
INR 31 LPA |
|
Top 50% Average Salary |
INR 28.7 LPA |
The average salary is a rather misleading aspect to determine the worth of a college because the highly inflated results can pull the average towards one side. This works in the favor of the college and most times students end up getting misled.
However, SPJIMR was able to maintain decent placements even during the pandemic. Its one-year PGPM course enjoys a strong reputation among companies and witnessed some of the best CTC packages against the eligible roles and profiles.
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 I join the PGP of IIM Shillong?
Asking others if you should join a certain program is illogical. I think it’s a decision that you have to take solely yourself. People can guide you in your decision but cannot make the decision on your behalf. That is exactly what I am here for. I will list down the parameters you should consider while making your decision. The rest is up to you.
- Try looking at other available options at hand. Comparing your options is a good way to decide on your B School.
- Ask yourself if you are confident enough to drop a year and attempt for CAT again just to try your shot at a better B School.
- Check whether the domain specialization of IIM, the companies that visit the campus and the roles they offer are in line with your career interests.
Once you are sure about these things, making a good decision will become easier for you.
What are the MBA fees in NITIE Mumbai?
I have a few friends who graduated recently from NITIE, so I think I can give you some information regarding the fee structure of the institute.
- There are two modes of entry in NITIE, i.e. GATE (PGDIE/MM/PM) and CAT (PGDIM/ISM).
- The Fee structure is different for GATE and CAT qualifying applicants.
- GATE qualifying candidates are charged around INR 12.5 LPA for the MBA program while CAT qualifying applicants are charged nearly INR 14.5 LPA.
Although the fees I have mentioned are solely meant for Tuition Fees, this doesn't include mess fees which you need to pay separately.
