Is it mandatory to reside at the IIM Bangalore hostel if one gets admitted for the PGPM course?
Yes, if you enroll in the PGPM program, you must reside in a hostel for the first year; you can choose to live off campus in the second year, but no one does.
It is truly beneficial that one must live in a hostel; otherwise, it is extremely difficult to complete all of the submissions and work in groups. Group project meetings are usually held at 11 p.m. or later, around midnight, making it difficult to attend if you are not on campus.
Furthermore, because subscriptions for these resources are validated using IP addresses, you will be unable to use them outside of the IIM campus.
However, the amazing part is that the campus is so beautiful that once you start staying there, you will despise the idea of staying anywhere else.

Which should I choose: MBA (2 year PGP) from IIM Ahmedabad or MS in computer science from a decent (top 10 & not top 3) US university with funding? What should I consider when choosing?
A friend of mine faced a similar dilemma when he was torn between choosing IIM Ahmedabad (MBA) and Stanford (MS). He went for IIM Ahmedabad in the end. He considered the following factors before making this decision:
-
Geographical factors: If you want to stay in India then MBA from IIM Ahmedabad is the best choice. But if you are certain you want to settle abroad, MS from Stanford is a good choice.
-
Nature of career: Comparing the nature of both the courses, we find that MBA is a general one while MS is specific. MBA is related to business and management while MS is technical. Based on your interests and aspirations one can easily make a choice between the two.
If you are still unable to decide then know that you can pursue MBA in the US even after MS. The latter will offer you more opportunities.

IIM Rohtak just came up with ePGPx. Will there be placement assistance?
The goal of Executive Programs is to enhance the already existing skills of working professionals. The worth of the main Executive Program of any given institute depends on the following 2 factors
- Fees: The total fee of the Executive Program at IIM Rohtak is ?7.86 Lakhs (Total Fees). The same programs of other top B Schools range from 3-5 lakhs depending on no. of subjects and level of engagement. So considering the high fees, IIM Rohtak’s Executive Program is not worth it.
- Ranking: The reputation of the B School you are planning to pursue the Executive Program from is very crucial. The PGP from lower-ranked B Schools have very less value in comparison to older IIMs. Unfortunately, IIM Rohtak is nowhere near the top 10 IIMs so their Executive Programs fare much below in terms of brand value.
Due to the above reasons the Executive Programs at IIM Rohtak have no placement assistance at all.
