I want to pursue an MBA in marketing as my major. What are the pros and cons of IIFT Delhi, IIFT Kolkata and NMIMS Mumbai?
It is important to evaluate IIFT Delhi, IIFT Kolkata, and NMIMS Mumbai for an MBA in Marketing and compare their offerings, including curriculum, placement opportunities, and return on investment (ROI).
IIFT Delhi and Kolkata are both part of the Indian Institutes of Foreign Trade (IIFT) and offer similar programs and opportunities. As such, when comparing IIFT with other institutions such as NMIMS, IIFT is considered to be superior in many aspects.
One of the key advantages of IIFT is its better ROI. The course curriculum is designed to provide a rigorous education with a focus on international business. Additionally, IIFT has a strong track record of improving its placements each year. The current batch of students has achieved the highest placements among all top B-schools, including the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs).
In considering these factors, IIFT may be a strong option for those looking for a graduate program in management with a focus on international business and strong placement opportunities. However, it is important to conduct thorough research and evaluate all options before making a final decision.
Should I persure my MBA from FMS Delhi or IIM A if I belong to a middle class family?
If there are some financial constraints, you should go for FMS Delhi for sure. The RoI is great and FMS Delhi is exceptionally good in terms of placements. But if you want to join the IIM brand, IIM A students can easily get education loans.
I personally know people who have dropped IIM A to be in FMS Delhi. So, it totally depends on your choice and priority. Both the colleges are of the same level, just the tag is the difference, so see what you weigh more.
Can a BSc agriculture graduate do an MBA in any desired field or specialization and from a top university like IIM, FMS (Delhi), etc.? Is he/she preferred over a BTech graduate?
In most top B-schools, there are no specializations offered in their degrees, and the courses are common for all students in the first year. Hence, the undergraduate specialization of the student will not have much impact on the courses that they can do in the B-school.
However, some IIMs give different scores at the time of final selection based on the undergraduate degree. B.Tech graduates are generally given the least value, and other degrees like BSc Agriculture might get a special advantage. But this can vary across different B-schools, and you need to check the scoring system that is released by each IIM during the selection process.
In terms of placements, there aren't many companies related to agriculture that offer roles in top B-schools, so a BSc Agriculture graduate might not have any added advantage. There might be a disadvantage in roles like Information Systems or Operations roles that might prefer students with a technology background. However, in general, the degree of the student wouldn't impact the rest of the placements.
Which is best among NITIE Mumbai, SIBM Pune, and IIM Rohtak for MBA?
In terms of placement, NITIE is the best followed by SIBM Pune, and finally IIM Rohtak. In terms of brand value, IIM Rohtak comes first, followed by NITIE and then SIBM.
Depending on whether you want the IIM tag, you should attend NITIE, SIBM Pune, or IIM Rohtak for Operations. NITIE has a firm grasp on operations and is well-known for it. Furthermore, the Mumbai location is advantageous. If you want to pursue a career in marketing, SIBM Pune should be your first choice.
IIM Rohtak will be considered after these two colleges because it is a relatively new brand that, like the other IIMs, will take time to establish itself.

Is part time MBA from NMIMS worth after 4 years of experience in software industry?
A part-time MBA does not hold as much value as a full-time MBA does. One of my friends with an Executive MBA degree said it can only be a helping hand to support growth in your existing company or similar roles. It cannot provide much exposure. It will help you grow in the company you are already in.
For instance, if you similarly want to be promoted to a TL role or Mid-level managerial role in the same field, a part-time MBA can provide an edge, given the competitiveness, and can partly also assist in job role changes in the same organization.
However, in the case of a complete career shift, a part-time MBA can be a demanding approach. You will have to evidently prove your best side in the competition.
It is suggested that you take into account your long-term goals, before arriving at any conclusion. That translates, a part-time MBA can probably provide a short-term career uplift, while simultaneously an executive or full-time MBA program can most definitely boost your future career exposure and lift you to better profiles with ease.
