Which among the following should I join if given the options: IIM Ranchi, IIM Rohtak, or IIM Trichy?
Given below are the reasons why you should choose IIM Trichy over IIM Ranchi, and IIM Rohtak:
- According to statistics, IIM Trichy has one of the highest average compensation packages among the new IIMs. The highest and average packages offered during the 2022 placement drive, according to the final IIM Trichy placement report, was INR 34 LPA and INR 17.01 LPA, respectively.
- Although all of the IIMs are relatively new, IIM Ranchi and IIM Rohtak, which were founded in 2009, are older than IIM Trichy, which was founded in 2011. Nonetheless, IIM Trichy continues to coordinate the CAP for newer IIMs.
- IIM Trichy has the most full-time faculty of any new IIM, with 35. Furthermore, the majority of the faculty here are fellows of IIM A, B, C, K, TISS, JBIMS, NUS Singapore, and others, and they all have extensive industry experience.
Furthermore, because there is enough permanent faculty, students have a wide variety of subjects to choose from as electives in the second year, which is yet another factor that keeps IIM Trichy ahead of the competition.
Trichy is nearly equidistant from two of India's fastest-growing business hubs, Chennai and Bangalore. And the city is well-connected to both of these cities by rail, road, and air. This improves accessibility as well as placement. Furthermore, there are numerous tourist attractions nearby, including Ooty, Pondicherry, Rameshwaram, Munnar, and others, all of which are within a few hours' drive of the campus. Trichy is also consistently ranked as one of the cleanest cities in India.

Should I join NMIMS Mumbai (MBA core) or wait for another year
Waiting for another year and dropping NMIMS is only justifiable if you are certain to get into the top 5 like IIM ABC and FMS. Otherwise forgoing this opportunity might not be a wise decision mainly because
- Your work experience of 22 months is the right time to do an MBA
- CAT is extremely certain. You might have been able to make it into NMIMS, but there is no guarantee you will be able to clear CAT next year again
- NMIMS has a 100% placement percentage so you will definitely end up with a good package
- The brand name is more than enough to add to your CV
Moreover, if you are willing to enter the Marketing sector, it’s still not late as FMCG don’t prefer candidates with much work experience. But if you are interested in Strategic Management, you can wait for a year and target the top 5 B Schools.
So the end note is, forgo the offer if you are certain you can make it into the top 5 else grab this opportunity.
Can a student with average academic records get an admission in IIM, Calcutta?
Academic records for sure are extremely crucial for your admission criteria. But they are not the only basis for determining one’s capabilities and qualifications.
Many times there are instances wherein people with high academic scores like 97%, 98%, and 99% fail to get admission into IIM Calcutta. This is because they are good at academics but lack communication and other crucial skills. One posed with out-of-the-box questions or asked to communicate efficiently they face serious problems. The interview panel at once realized that the person is not fit for admission.
In many other cases, people with average academic records get into IIM Calcutta. This is because, despite low scores, they exhibit exceptionally good communication skills and think more creatively. The interview panel realizes that academic scores can be the main but not the only deciding factor for admission. One needs skills to get into IIM Calcutta. The recruiters prefer a dynamic, vibrant, and hardworking student and worker rather than a bookworm.
So rather than worrying about your average scores, just upgrade your skills and prepare well for the interview.

Have any BBA or BMS grads made it to IIM Ahmedabad?
I’ve had the opportunity to visit IIM Kozhikode, IIM Bangalore and IIM Ahmedabad for various competitions. While at these institutes, I interacted with many students. Some of them were from Economics background, and one had even completed her graduation in Philosophy.
Students from all these backgrounds, including BBS/BMS enjoy the diversity factor. This gives them an upper hand in the selection process over Engineers. But to enjoy this benefit, one must have a good CAT score, and a good academic record.
Prepare well for your CAT, and make sure you have a good academic record. If you fulfill these criteria, you’ll get into IIM Ahmedabad, regardless of your educational background.
Also, make sure to prepare well for the quant section of CAT. This is where the engineering students outdo the candidates from other academic backgrounds.

The current leading USP of IIM Udaipur is its highly enriched research culture which has made it among the top IIMs in this aspect specifically. The NIRF rankings also speak of its rising status over the last few years. Some highlights of the FPM program from IIM Udaipur are
Some world-class faculties from IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta visit the campus of IIM Udaipur to spread their knowledge and sophistication to FPM students. This is done through coaching programs and workshops where you can identify your inclinations and talents.
The faculty of the FPM department is dynamic and capable of a concerted arrangement required to produce research through its students and themselves.
Research is something that requires your efforts at a personal level. So joining a 2-year Research program will be beneficial to you only. You can also switch to better research programs or even redo your Ph.D.
To initiate a career in research, one needs serious personal commitment, else there are many instances wherein people have failed to make a career in research. The newer IIMs offer little scope in this aspect and Udaipur is an exception. So don’t lose this opportunity and go for it without much thought.
