How is IMS Ghaziabad for PGDM, and what are the campus placements like over there?
IMS Ghaziabad is a decent choice for PGDM in case you don’t have time to re-attempt CAT and have no better options. In this case, you have to resort to giving up on top-tier colleges and choosing mediocre schools. IMS Ghaziabad is one such choice and satisfies those looking for average college life and placements.
The quality of education is good, and the courses are taught by knowledgeable faculty who are quite learned and experienced in their fields. Students get enough exposure to the corporate world.
As far as the placements are considered, the students have been posting about the terrible situation in the college and have been criticizing the system. But the reality is you get placed on the basis of knowledge and skills you have acquired in 2 years. Even a top college will not get you a good package if you did not gain the necessary knowledge and skills. So it all depends on you and not the college.
Which college is better for an MBA (PGDM) in marketing among IMT Ghaziabad and baby IIMs (Nagpur, Visakhapatnam, Amritsar)?
When considering MBA programs, it is important to recognize that not all institutions are created equal. Some institutions often referred to as "legacy institutions," have a long history of success and are widely recognized as some of the best business schools in the country. Other institutions, often referred to as "baby IIMs," are relatively new and may not yet have the same level of prestige or reputation as legacy institutions.
However, when it comes to choosing a business school, it's important not to compare legacy institutions and baby IIMs directly, as each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Instead, it is recommended to focus on the specific institution and the attributes it brings. One such institution is IMT Ghaziabad, which is a well-established institution that is known for its academic programs and reputation in the industry.
It's important to note that MBA aspirations can differ from person to person and it's essential to identify what the MBA means for you. There are two types of MBA aspirants:
- For whom, MBA means only IIM (no matter which one and the attributes related to it)
- For whom, MBA means legacy institutions, who have emerged victorious with their brand name like BLACKI IIMs, ISB, XLRI, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS, IIFT, MDI Gurgaon, NMIMS Mumbai, SIBM Pune, IMT Ghaziabad, IIT B/D, SCMHRD, IMI Delhi, XIBM and established their legacy since decades.
It is highly recommended to decide by yourself, Among which category you belong, and then go for it. According to the opinion stated in the passage, the recommendation is towards the category of legacy institutions.

How would you compare KJ Somaiya's PGDM with NIRMA's MBA in terms of placement and opportunities? Which one will be better?
Comparing the 2 B Schools that are KJ Somaiya and NIRMA, I would say both are equal in terms of placements, opportunities and exposure. The only factor you need to consider here is location. NIRMA is a good choice if your hometown is nearby. But if you want to enjoy your college life, explore and make memories, KJ Somaiya is the best. Located in Vidyavihar, a student-dominated area in Mumbai, it has an amazing campus with top-notch facilities.

To make a choice between the two first you need to be sure if you are choosing between colleges or choosing between courses. I will give you a brief description of both the colleges.

The only drawback is that the placement opportunities for these courses are still unknown. So all we can do is wait for the best results.
