What is going to be a better option among the following B schools - VGSOM, new IIMs (Ranchi, Trichy, Raipur), or NMIMS?

When it comes to choosing a business school, the competition is fierce and the options can be overwhelming. Three institutes that are considered to be among the top in the country are the Vinod Gupta School of Management (VGSOM) at IIT Kharagpur, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ranchi, and the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS).

If you are interested in an operations profile, then VGSOM is a great choice. It is considered to be one of the best institutes in the country for operations specialization, after NITIE. Additionally, the return on investment (ROI) is high. IIM Ranchi, on the other hand, may have a lower average package compared to the other two institutes, but it has the prestige of the IIM tag and a decent profile. The hostels are also fabulous, with single rooms available for students.

NMIMS is considered to be more costly and the batch strength is over 500 students. The top 150-200 students get superb packages and roles that are at par with other top B-schools, however, the next lot of students may have a lot of start-ups, etc. If you want to play safe, VGSOM or IIM Ranchi might be the best option.

However, if you are willing to take a risk, NMIMS might be a good choice as the profiles there are really good. It's ultimately up to you to decide which institute aligns best with your career goals and objectives. Rest assured, whichever institute you choose, you will be choosing a great institution as all three are among the top institutes in the country.

Is BIMTECH's PGDM Course better than its PGDM (Int. Business) Course?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : April 26th, 2023
Studied at Birla Institute of Management Technology

Personally, I believe that to be the case. Despite the fact that the topics can appear to be the same, the PGDM core contains all of the essential studies. Placements are roughly the same, however, there is an increased emphasis on key subjects. However, total competition is higher, and a greater emphasis is placed on attentiveness.

What is the difference between the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIM C) and the Post Graduate Programme in Management for executives (PGPX)?

A
Admin Posted On : June 19th, 2023

I did not get what you want to know and compare exactly but assuming that you want to compare the MBA or the flagship program offered by IIM C and the PGPX course, as one is a college and the other is a course. 

The top Indian business school IIM C offers a two-year full-time MBA program. The program is for recent graduates or those with five years of work experience. The curriculum teaches management and business practices. While PGPX is a one-year full-time program for executives with at least five years of experience. The program trains experienced managers to lead their companies. The customizable curriculum is targeted at experienced executives.

In conclusion, the flagship program (MBA) of IIM C and PGPX offer management education, but their audiences, duration, and focus differ. PGPX is for experienced executives, while IIM C is for recent grads with little or no work experience.

Which is better, IMI Delhi BF&S or Great Lakes Chennai PGDM, considering I have no particular inclination towards finance but IMI is the bigger brand?

NC
Nikhil Chaturvedi Posted On : March 16th, 2023
Studied MBA-Rural Management (MBA-RM) at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar

 If you have the option of dropping a year and preparing for CAT, XAT, or other entrance exams, it may be worth considering. You can use the extra time to study and improve your scores, which could lead to better opportunities in the future.

However, if you have decided to pursue an MBA this year, there are several factors to consider before choosing between IMI and GLIM. You should look at the return on investment (ROI), fees, faculty, location, and placement records of both institutions to determine which one is a better fit for you.

It is important to note that neither the Business Forensic & Fraud Management (BF&S) program at IMI nor the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) program at GLIM are the flagship programs of their respective institutions. You may want to research the other programs offered by each school to see if they align with your career goals.

Personally, I would recommend GLIM over IMI. However, you should make your decision based on your own research and preferences, taking into account factors such as the curriculum, faculty, industry connections, and career prospects. It is important to choose a program that aligns with your career aspirations and provides the best value for your investment in terms of education, skills, and networking opportunities.

I have 65% in class 12. Am I eligible for MBA in imt Ghaziabad?

NS
Nikhil Singh Posted On : March 24th, 2021
MBA Ghaziabad

An MBA Institute asks for certain qualities in a student when they finally opt for them to be part of a specific institute, let alone IMT Ghaziabad. Most of them are decided by some factors.

  • IMT Ghaziabad usually asks for a three to four year bachelor degree with 50% aggregate and an aptitude test score usually, CAT/XAT/GMAT/CMAT. 
  • The cutoffs for aptitude test scores are usually decided each year before admissions, but anyone can expect anywhere between the 90 percentile mark as mentioned.
  • Class 12 marks can form a very integral part of the first impression that the institute is going below upon someone. However, the actual weightage of these factors can vary from person to person, rather from institute to institute on the basis of their admission strategy. But, although class 12 marks can form the first impression, a high percentile in CAT/XAT can easily compensate for the fact that somebody has scored less in their plus two.
  • There are various individuals whose 12th scores were as low as 69.9%, but they still got into IMT Ghaziabad (full time) because of their good CAT score. 

Thus, in conclusion, a good CAT score is mandatory for everybody and everyone should prepare well for it.
