For an MBA HR, should we choose IIM Ranchi (PGDMHRM) or SCMHRD?
To answer your question in better terms I will rate the colleges based on parameters such as placements, curriculum, and alumni base.
- TISS / XLRI - TISS has an advantage owing to its smaller batch and location in a metro (Mumbai). XLRI excels in the Alumni network and the variety of roles offered. In addition, the option of getting a Non-HR profile after an MBA has increased its ranking considerably.
- MDI Gurgaon - After this, MDI Gurgaon bags the position because of its location and strong alumni base.
- SCMHRD - It is a decent college but the quality of the crowd is substandard when compared to IIMs.
- Newer IIMs like Ranchi
- IMI & other colleges
After a B.Tech from an IIT, should one go for an MBA from IIT Bombay / Delhi or from newer IIMs like Kozhikode or Ranchi?
The answer to your question is objectively based solely on your inclinations. IITs might offer a better ROI than IIMs. But had I been in your place I would have gone for the newer IIMs like Kozhikode or IIM Ranchi which is one of the fastest-growing IIMs. The reasons for taking this decision would have been
- Better opportunities in finance, marketing, and consulting domains.
- Better placement opportunities
- Better industry exposure
- The prestige of being a part of the IIM alumni network
- The IIM tag
All these points make IIM a more tempting choice. Yet if you are tight on budget and just want to go for the Operations domain IIT will do fine for you.
How good is IIM Ranchi PGHRM?
Compared to the older IIMs it is not very good but compared to the newer IIMs it is way better. Its USP is its location in an Industrially rich belt that increases your chances of having an excellent career in Management.
Now if we compare it to the other B Schools, it ranks lower than FMS, XLRI, SP Jain, MDI and JBIMS but higher than IMT, IMI, Fore, XU, GIM, etc. It is better than these B Schools because of the IIM brand.
This program is best for people who want to enter the field of teaching and academics.
How would you rank IIM Udaipur, Trichy, Ranchi, and Raipur?
It is difficult to provide a definitive ranking of business schools as the best choice will depend on your individual priorities and goals. To determine which among IIM Udaipur, Trichy, Ranchi, and Raipur is the best fit for you, it is important to consider factors such as the curriculum and placement opportunities in your desired field, the focus on research, the availability of Students Exchange Programs and other opportunities for exposure, and the overall perception of the school.
If you have a specific field or area of focus in mind, you should look for a B-school that offers a strong curriculum and good placement prospects in that area. If you are interested in gaining hands-on research experience, you should consider schools that have a strong orientation toward research. If you are looking for opportunities to gain exposure and experience through programs like student exchange, you should consider schools with a strong track record in this area.
If you do not have a specific priority and are unable to identify a clear difference between the opportunities offered by different B-schools, you may want to consider their perception. While this can be difficult to quantify, their overall perception can impact the quality of your peers and the overall learning environment. To judge the perception of a B-school, you should do your own research and consider factors such as the reputation of the school, the accomplishments of its faculty and alumni, and the resources and support available to students. Ultimately, the best choice for you will depend on your personal goals and priorities.
Is it worth for IIM Ranchi MBA graduate with 3 year of previous work-ex in IT to join mu sigma as apprentice leader trainee?
No, I certainly will not suggest that you go for MU Sigma as an apprentice leader trainee. There are many better options like joining a structured, organized company with a decent work ambiance. These aspects are missing in MU Sigma which has a weird business model. The business model is based on the concept ‘Throw them in water, they will learn to swim”. That is if they are made to face hardships they will end up learning the skill to survive. In reality, this has caused relentless suffering to the professionals, the managers, and most importantly the clients. Everybody is clueless and no proper targets are allotted. So I am completely against you joining MU Sigma.

How can I crack the IIM Ranchi HRM interview process?
An HRM interview may be similar to other MBA interviews, but it's likely that you'll be asked "Why HR?" If you have experience in the field or have studied HRM, it will be easier to answer this question. However, if you're switching fields, you'll need to explain your interest in detail. It's important to stay honest and not try to deceive the interviewers, even if HR isn't your first choice. The rest of the interview process will be similar to other IIM interviews.
One student with a finance background shared his personal experience of being asked this question during an HRM interview, even though he had already received offers from other IIMs and HRM wasn't his first choice.
Considering my interest in Finance and a prior IT work experience of 2.5 years, what should be the preference for me among IIFT Delhi, NMIMS Mumbai, and new IIMs IIM Ranchi, Trichy?
When it comes to financing roles, NMIMS is generally seen as being on par with or even better than IIFT. One advantage of NMIMS is its location in Mumbai, which can be beneficial for students seeking finance roles. A decent number of finance companies visit the campus during placements, offering a good range of opportunities for students. However, it's worth noting that the competition for these roles can be quite intense, especially for students with engineering backgrounds. This is because finance companies often have a tendency to shortlist more students with commerce backgrounds for interviews.
That being said, if you are able to clear one or two levels of the CFA or FRM exams, it can become easier to get shortlisted for finance roles at NMIMS. Overall, when it comes to financing roles, NMIMS is generally seen as being on par with IIFT and better than the new IIMs.
Why new IIMs are opened at places like Ranchi and Kashipur?
When you consider India's population, especially the working populations who migrate to these cities in search of jobs/education, etc., there aren't enough to sustain the pressure, and there aren't enough resources to support such a large crowd.
As evidenced by the conditions in these cities, the majority of them are either saturated or on the verge of saturation. As a result, the government must establish a new center for businesses, corporations, and so on. Opening a government institution such as IIT or IIM leads to an increase in business, at least locally, and later attracts investments from major market players such as real estate developers, malls, health care providers, and corporations, eventually leading to the industrialization or urbanization of cities.
To lessen the strain that these cities would otherwise face from having to support a new IIM or IIT, which would once more increase in-migration and intensify the city's problems. This could be one of the good reasons for this. So, establishing such institutions in these cities is, if not a good idea, a better idea. Many may contend that this represents a significant setback for some batches graduating from such Institutions at this stage of development.
