BBA at CMS Jain University, Bangalore is easy to get in. The student must be on the merit list of JET. The placement area provides an ample amount of opportunities in comparison to other colleges at the UG level. There is a significant growth in the Management department every year, and the placements offered is quite good at the UG level.

This is entirely a matter of your choice or preference. Both these courses have a very different offering from each other in terms of learning. One is a double bachelor (BA LLB) and the other is a Bachelor's + Master’s degree (BBA-MBA). You can choose one or the other on the basis of your interest. If you are someone who wants to pursue a career in law and be a lawyer, you should pick the course from NLSIU, and if the Management and business side of things is where your interests lie, the clear choice is IIM Indore.

If placements are what concern you, IIM Indore is the winner as compared to NLSIU. IIM Indore’s Integrated Programme in Management has an average pay package of about 20 lakhs per annum which is way more than NLSIU’s median at 12 lakhs per annum for a BA LLB graduate. Along with this, IIM Indore also offers opportunities to be placed abroad, and those who get placed abroad can get a package up to 90 LPA, on the other hand, NLSIU doesn’t have much scope for placements abroad and the few that take place don’t garner more than a 20L PA package.

One of my cousins is a student of IIM Indore. Let me share his experience which might give you a basic idea. 

He says that you can definitely leave the IPM program after the initial 3 years, but it will not reap benefits at the end of the day. Your choice can allegedly become futile.

You can undeniably leave following the initial 3 years of the IPM program, but because it is an integrated 5-year course, you are not supposed to receive any sort of certification or testimonial after the completion of the first 3 years of your study program. 

You will significantly have to leave with an IGNOU degree and 3 years of IPM education that is not vitally certified or even recognized. Leaving a course midway will definitely not be helpful, since the only accessible certification you will go on to receive is from IGNOU. It can possibly be extremely difficult to further acquire admission in any other renowned B-school following your dropout. Thus, leaving mid-course is not highly recommended. 

One of my close friends studied at IIM Rohtak. According to him, his first two years were really interesting. But gradually he realized how rigorous the course was. He, like any other young adult, faced a lot of ups and downs throughout his college life.

Due to the lockdown, his second year was conducted online. This really made him realize how important being on campus was for him.

He shared some things that took place in the college before the lockdown.

• On-campus, they used to have a lot of club events, organizing fests, group activities, debates, and much more.
• Random quiz competitions took place in the classrooms during a free period. They participated in them which was useful yet fun.
• The infrastructure of the college is really good. It is well maintained and clean. Many things would take place in the campus that they almost lost track of time.
• Starting the day with morning yoga, attending classes, taking part in quizzes, taking the examinations when conducted. A day goes by in college by following a proper routine.
• They also organized birthday parties and movie nights at the hostels.

These were some of the things that made his college life amazing, even though it was for a year. Their system of following the 7 subjects per trimester helps students learn a lot about mathematics, social sciences, management, etc. in depth.

Having some of my friends study in both colleges, I can say that enrolling in Shaheed Sukhdev for BMS would be much more apt than that of IIM Rohtak for IPM. Both the colleges hold their places enormously but Shaheed Sukhdev will be better due to their overall educational experience.

There are several reasons for choosing it, some are:

• BMS as compared to IPM is a much older course.
• The placement of Shaheed Sukhdev reached heights due to their BMS course.
• The highest package offered to the students of Sukhdev College was around 18 LPA (latest).
• You can also get a chance to do your MBA from some other top IIMs in the country later on in life.
• Moreover, IPM Rohtak would be taking in its second batch, and hence no point in talking about placements.

It is suggested that you choose BMS over IPM. Though, both have their pros and cons but opting for BMS is worth more than IPM. Also, Sukhdev has a great market reputation and placement record. After all, it’s your decision that matters. Think appropriately for yourself. Good Luck.
