Should I quit my job to pursue an MBA at IMT Ghaziabad?
One of my close friends was an MBA alumnus at IMT Ghaziabad and here’s what he had to say.
Yes, you have to quit the job if you want the course regularly.
However, for an executive MBA course, you do not have to quit your job. All you have to do is just find a study center nearby and apply for it. For the executive MBA course, you can attend the classes during the weekends. Also, make sure that you are available during the examination times.
And for the regular MBA course, you have to clear the CAT examination. You can find the admission criteria on the official website of IMT Ghaziabad. The selection process is similar to IIMs.
Which MBA is better, IMT Ghaziabad (dual country course) or an MBA from BITSOM Mumbai?
Too close to call. Both are good choices to consider. On the other hand, if I have to take a call, I will most likely use BITSOM. Based on the below-mentioned reasons;
- Has a clear and compelling vision. aspires to be one of the best schools there is. Has aspirations on a worldwide scale.
- Has recruited highly qualified faculty and teams
- Very strongly supported
- Being open to making investments.
Therefore, it's possible that both will be tied in the short term, but I have a feeling that in the long run, BITSOM will pull ahead. The MBA, on the other hand, is strictly a long-term investment.
What would be better to do an MBA from SIOM Nashik or prepare for the SSC?
There’s no clear winner in this comparison. If you want a career in the corporate world, doing an MBA from SIOM Nashik is better. SIOM placements are good and it offers decent exposure to the industry. The 2022 campus placements of the institute had witnessed an average CTC of INR 12.38 LPA.

If you want a more stable and traditional Govt. job then SSC is the better option. The salary is decent.
