How good is JBIMS as compared to IIMs, XLRI, and FMS in regard to faculty, placements, alumni, etc.?
You are advised to choose wisely when it comes to selecting the top MBA colleges. Most of the top colleges have excellent faculty who are experts in their fields and students highly appreciate their teachings. The alumni network is a crucial factor to consider, and it is best to speak to students and alumni of the colleges to get a better understanding.
The top-of-the-line MBA colleges include IIMs A, B, and C, which are considered untouchable at the moment. XLRI stands out for its HR batch, the opportunities it offers, and its excellent course structure.
If you are comparing FMS, JBIMS, and XLRI BM, you can consider your interest and preference. The author is biased towards JBIMS as her husband is from that college and she has close connections with the students and alumni. However, if you get admitted to XLRI BM, it is a great brand to be associated with, especially if you are interested in finance.
When it comes to choosing between JBIMS and FMS, you can opt for JBIMS if you are sure about pursuing finance, else you can choose either. Among the IIMs, the author rates IIM L above JBIMS and FMS and considers JBIMS and FMS above IIM I and K.
It is suggested not to rely on the ROI concept, as the benefits of a good education cannot be gauged in one year and do not follow arithmetic progression rules. Instead, you should look at the opportunities offered by the college and how it fits into your plan. Do not base your decision solely on rankings posted in newspapers and magazines or the highest packages offered during placement.

One of my friends studied at IIM Udaipur and here are some facts he mentioned, which might help you get to know it a bit better.
Faculty
- IIM Udaipur lays a great emphasis on academics and the faculty. Good blend of experienced and young faculty who are highly qualified from some of the top universities around the world.
- Most of the faculty have studied at Iowa State University, Nanyang Technical University Singapore, IIM Bangalore, IIM Ahmedabad, and many more.

- The faculty are also highly engaged and they help the students in various academic projects.
- In terms of teaching and classroom experience, IIM Udaipur is always considered a notch above other B-schools.
Infrastructure
- The campus is only 5 years old. But it has all the necessary facilities in place already.
- Necessities such as air conditioning, drinking water, WiFi, hot water supply, lifts, etc. are in place already.
- Currently, there are 9 boys’ hostels and 3 girls’ hostels with plans for more in the coming years as student strength grows.
- The hostels and the mess are managed by the Sarovar Group of Hotels which is a 3-star hospitality and hotel service in Udaipur.
- The campus is located amongst the hills of the Aravali mountain ranges and offers a pleasant view of the outdoors.
- The buildings are made from the sandstones of Rajasthan and offer an architectural design mimicking that of the Rajasthan landscapes.
The campus is however still under construction and many other facilities will come up, most notably a sports complex. So, these are some of the facts about IIM Udaipur about their faculty and infrastructure.
Which is better in terms of a better study environment, academic quality and faculty GBPUAT Pantnagar or GBPEC Pauri Garhwal?
It is recommended that you do not opt for GBPEC Pauri. Here are some reasons why:
- It lacks basic life amenities and you won't be able to get proper medical facilities.
- Availability of water will be a big problem.
- The hygiene level of mess and hostels here is extremely low.
- The faculty and quality of education are not at par with GBPUAT or even DIT.
- GBPUAT Pantnagar is a better college than GBPEC Pauri in terms of infrastructure, location, and faculty.
- The administration is suffering from internal politics and no attention is given to student grievances.
You can rather go for DIT or GEU Dehradun which will provide a comparatively better environment and facilities.
How is the faculty of IEM Kolkata?
IEM Kolkata faculties are good. The professors of the institute are well-experienced and cooperative. You can get their help in any doubt you have. The faculty base of IEM includes notable personalities like Prof. Kamakhya Prasad Ghatak. He is quite popular among students.
Compared to other private engineering institutes in West Bengal, IEM Kolkata has a better faculty base.
Where do private universities (LPU, AMITY or SHARDA) fail compared to IIT or IIM even though they provide all facilities and also claim to have the top foreign faculties?
Having foreign faculties or providing world-class facilities is not the only thing necessary to reach the level of IITs and IIMs. There are several necessary aspects that distinguish such private institutes from elite institutes like IIT and IIM, like -
- Students at IITs have different levels of educational qualifications.
- Students of IITs and IIMs are confident to reach heights in their work careers. But, this passion is mostly missing in 90% students in of private colleges
- Regular students at private institutes are satisfied with Rs. 4-5 LPA packages.
- Students from IITs usually have excellent depth in mathematics, and in coding.
- Students from private colleges make several mistakes in their preparation, which affect their entry into institutes like IITs. But, your hard work in college can surely make you successful.
- Students are even placed in companies like Amazon (Rs. 16 LPA), Adobe (Rs. 8 LPA), Sandisk (Rs. 8.5 LPA), etc.
- There are some institutes like BITS, VIT, Manipal, Dhirubhai Ambani University, etc, that are excellent institutes, having good faculties and enough resources.
- Other than those, most private institutes in India are not in good condition.
These are some of the main reasons why such private institutes, though providing excellent infrastructure and faculty, fail to reach the levels of IITs and IIMs.

Why is Prof. Anju Seth considered as the worst director in IIM Calcutta's history by faculty, students, and alumni?
The reputation of Prof. Anju Seth has been tainted recently with allegations of promoting cost-cutting of the institute. This has largely affected the quality of research conducted. Some major changes due to this cost cutting are:
-
Digital subscriptions have been taken off our library
-
No payments to the institute’s support/admin staff for work like minor tasks during convocation or dressing the students and helping them out during the event.
-
Many students suffered during the pandemic as they were not allowed to leave without paying
Although the students, alumni, and faculty all have voiced their concern to the management but in vain.

There are many other popular faculties on campus and every student has their personal favorite.
