How is the information management PGDM program in SPJIMR?
SPJIMR Information Management PGDM program is suitable for those who want to shift from technical IT to management and business roles. This unique course is updated annually to keep up with the latest developments in the IT field and is on par with the best B-schools around the world.
The faculty at SPJIMR are highly dedicated and valued for their academic excellence and business backgrounds. In addition to classroom courses, IM students learn from industry visits, guest lectures from corporate gurus and CXOs, and live projects designed to facilitate the use of theory in practice.
At SPJIMR, peer learning is highly effective, and there is a collaborative culture in place. Students are selected based on merit, and the competition is stiff due to the high quality of peers. Most IM students come with expertise in various domains, and they work together as a team on activities such as the Cross Course Project, which is a platform to piece together all learnings from the IM coursework and consult on a real IT business challenge.
The placement opportunities available in the IM specialization are regarded as a valuable benefit, and SPJIMR attracts top-tier firms like Microsoft, Amazon, Flipkart, HCL, GE, Make My Trip, Capgemini, Cognizant Business Consulting, Deloitte, and many more.

The advantage of the IM specialization is that both you and the firms find yourselves in a win-win situation when it comes to mapping skills versus roles.
Which is better, a PGDM in banking and financial services at IMI, Delhi or a PGDM general in LBSIM, Delhi?
I can speak with certainty that PGDM at LBSIM is a far better option than PGDM in Financial services at IMI Delhi. My brother is a recent pass out from LBSIM and the following highlight of the institute are based on his personal experiences
- The IIRF ranks LBSIM 25th among private colleges
- It has a spectacular ROI in terms of placements and fees
- LBSIM is famous for its student culture
- You can get an insight into various angles of the industry you will be dealing with in the future
- You can avail an abundance of opportunities through live projects and get to have a detailed experience in your specialization.
- The institute prioritizes a practical approach over theoretical knowledge through academic activities outside the classroom
- Various academic and non-academic clubs make the environment a friendly one
- The institute boasts of a 100% placement record
- It has an elaborate alumni network that is spread across top companies like Big Four’s, Arcesium, Marsh & Mclennan, Asian Paints, Crisil
- LBSIM collaborates with various international universities for its student exchange program. Some of them include Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Northern Illinois University, USA, European Higher School of Economics and Management, Bulgaria etc.
- A unique feature of the B School is its Bloomberg Terminal which is restricted to the top B Schools like IIM B, IIM C, and FMS only.
All these points clearly state that LBSIM is a very good choice for a PGDM program.
Why is IMI Delhi not good for somebody with an experience of 2.5 years? I have got a PGDM offer from IMI Delhi and I was looking for honest opinions about the college.
I cannot agree with the claim that IMI Delhi is not good for someone who has an experience of more than two years. My friend told me that her batch in 2020 had an average work experience of 32 months.
Joining an elite B School is not enough. Once you have successfully joined the desired B School, you need to make constant efforts to remain at the top. Just getting admission is not enough. You need to work relentlessly and meet the standards of the institute.
Even if someone has an experience of more than 2 years, he cannot cut down his efforts to remain at the top. He needs to maintain his sincerity toward academics because there is tough competition. Giving your best is the key once you have been admitted to a good B School. Keep aside secondary factors like work experience and pay academics.

How long did it take you to recover the fees paid for PGPM of MDI Gurgaon?
I asked a friend about the time it took him to pay back the loan he had taken to pursue PGDM at MDI Gurgaon. An estimate revealed 5-7 years. However this is subject to change as not everyone receives the same package.
Currently, MDI Gurgaon PGDM fees is ?23.47 Lakhs. On comparing this with the average package INR 26.65 LPA, we can say that the fees can be easily paid within 5 years time considering the interest and additional expenses.
But tell me is getting an equivalent package the only way to recover the fees. Is it not recovered through the knowledge you have gained, the various experiences and the gateway to success. One can never repay back the fees in reality.
How is IMS Ghaziabad for PGDM, and what are the campus placements like over there?
IMS Ghaziabad is a decent choice for PGDM in case you don’t have time to re-attempt CAT and have no better options. In this case, you have to resort to giving up on top-tier colleges and choosing mediocre schools. IMS Ghaziabad is one such choice and satisfies those looking for average college life and placements.
The quality of education is good, and the courses are taught by knowledgeable faculty who are quite learned and experienced in their fields. Students get enough exposure to the corporate world.
As far as the placements are considered, the students have been posting about the terrible situation in the college and have been criticizing the system. But the reality is you get placed on the basis of knowledge and skills you have acquired in 2 years. Even a top college will not get you a good package if you did not gain the necessary knowledge and skills. So it all depends on you and not the college.
How is PGDM from PIBM Pune in comparision to ITM Navi Mumbai and Balaji? What is the average placement at PIBM?

Which is better LBSIM, Delhi PGDM (general) or IMI, Delhi PGDM (B&FS)?
PGDM BFS is a viable option if you are keen about numbers and finance in general. PGDM core and PGDM BFS rarely has a major difference in curriculum except that marketing subjects of BFS would be less intriguing and the major pedagogy is directed towards marketing of finance products and services only.
A PGDM core student is open to a plethora of opportunities during placements as he is eligible to appear for companies offering marketing and sales profiles. On the contrary, a PGDM BFS student has been exposed to a customized curriculum that focuses mainly on Finance and lacks a wide range of opportunities. However, he has a more definite chance of securing placement at a company offering Finance roles like Banks and other financial institutions. This advantage seems very minimal right now but with the increase in the relevance of the curriculum and demand of the course, it will soon be coveted among Finance aspirants.
The BFS faculties are considered to be among the best given the excellent performance of BFS students in the recent years and the increasing popularity of the course. The companies visiting the campus for BFS are not only banks but include AMCs, NBFCs, FinTechs and other Fin Services firms. The course targets the entire Banking and Finance sector.
At the end of the day, what remains of your college life is not the specific course you chose but the college you chose to pursue it. Be it PGDM Core or PGDM BFS, IMI Delhi is the perfect college to experience a great college life.
What can be expected from the new post graduate programs in finance and liberal arts given IIM Kozhikode this year?
The new PGP courses in Finance and Liberal Arts have a lot of expectations. My friend met a few professors from IIM Kozhikode and they were really looking forward to these courses.
The only drawback is that the placement opportunities for these courses are still unknown. So all we can do is wait for the best results.
