Can I crack CAT while studying in IIM Trichy?
I don’t see any logic behind studying for CAT while already studying at a good IIM like Trichy. It is a leading B School based on almost all parameters like faculty, infrastructure, and placements.
But if you even consider studying for the CAT, let me tell you it’s impossible. This is because the curriculum is very rigorous and even 24 hours a day will seem less to match the hectic schedule. You will be busy with quizzes, assignments, resume preparation, club activities, and academics. It is advisable you make the best out of these activities rather than spending your time preparing for CAT.
Even if you do prepare and get into IIM A B or C, do you have a convincing answer as to why you left Trichy?
Personally, I will suggest you be satisfied with Trichy and invest your passion in becoming among the top students and getting the best package during placements. Focus on a single achievable goal rather than multiple unachievable goals.
Why is the waitlist movement of IIM Trichy slow?
There are multiple reasons that cause the waitlist movement of IIM Trichy to slow down. Some include
- A high number of buffer calls.
- The waitlist commitment fee ensures only interested candidates stay in the waitlist.
- Slower waitlist movement of older IIMs. This is because the Waitlist movement of IIM Trichy or that of any second-generation IIM depends on the waitlist movement of the top IIMs like A,B, l,C, K,L,I. Once their waitlist moves, the candidates vacant the seats from the newer IIMs resulting in their own waitlist movement.
So all you can do is wait for the top IIMs' waitlist movement.
How good is PGPBM course (provided by IIM Trichy) at Chennai Center?
The worth of a certain program depends on what you want to achieve after completing it. In case you want to just ameliorate your knowledge and skills, this course is indeed the finest option. But if you are pursuing it to receive a high-paying package, then your approach is wrong. Yes, it will open doors for better job prospects but you cannot directly grab a high-paying job right off the bat.
Some major highlights of this course are as follows
- The faculty is highly knowledgeable and usually comprises doctorates from top B Schools within India and even globally.
- The course is rigorous as each subject is taught for 25 hours and requires preparation for 20-25 hours.
- The pedagogy is premium and involves a blend of case studies, theories encompassing fundamental frameworks, and the latest trends.
- A regular evaluation ensures complete involvement of the individual
- You will get the chance to study with a mixed crowd comprising marketing professionals, chartered accountants, plant heads, and entrepreneurs.
- The crowd diversity in turn enables top-notch peer learning and exposure through experience sharing.
- Once you complete this program, you will excel in your current job or the interview for your next job.
- Since the program is approved by banks, you can easily get 100% educational loans.
- In accordance with the latest IIM Law, you will be granted an MBA Degree and not just a PGDBM Certificate.
Before I end my answer I will ask you to keep 2 points in mind. Firstly, this program is extremely demanding and you should not take it just as a side hustle. It needs complete involvement and determination on your part.
Secondly, no placement opportunities are offered upon completion of this program so you shouldn’t rely on the placement committee.
Which would be a better choice, IIM Raipur or IIM Trichy?
I think firstly you need to change your mindset. Rather than pondering on which college is better, ponder on which college is better for you. Analyzing your situation this way will enable you to make a wiser decision. This is because only you truly know what you want from your MBA degree, and that is the sole basis for deciding your choice of college.
Now identifying your own interests and preferences might be a tricky task. I have some tips that might help you know your forte.
- Use the research tools of today’s world and study different colleges
- Try to find what you want to achieve after completing your MBA
- If you have decided on a certain domain, go through the alumni profiles of that specific domain. Check the same for various B Schools analyzing which B School has the maximum percentage of alumni in that domain.
- Study the culture of various B Schools you are choosing from
- Look for location advantages and accessibility
Checking all these aspects might help you come up with a healthy decision. Don’t be hasty to choose a B School as this decision will affect your career.
Is it better joining IIM Trichy (new IIM) rather than joining Infosys as a system engineer?
Preparing for the CAT again is a hefty task and requires a lot of motivation. So I will suggest that you forgo your offer to join only under the following circumstances
- You have a good past academic record. IIMs lay great weight on past academics and it is something that cannot be changed even after getting 100 percentile in CAT.
- If you are confident that you can prepare for your CAT alongside working at Infosys. That company is said to have an enormous workload so you need to be sure that you can prepare for CAT efficiently simultaneously.
- If you are targeting older IIMs like A,B,C,K,L
If your situation does not involve any of the three cases then going for IIM Trichy is a wise decision. It’s a second-generation IIM and older than the newly established IIMs. Moreover, you will still get the IIM tag, and chances are that by the time you pass out from the institute, it has gained more reputation.
Is it worthwhile to pursue an MBA from IIT Bombay, IIM Trichy or IIM Ranchi?
My brother was in a similar dilemma as he wondered if spending high fees and 2 years of his life at a new IIM was even worth it. But eventually, he joined it and today he is glad he took the decision. Some major reasons for his satisfaction are
- The amazing exposure he could experience through Corporate Competitions, Live Projects, and Guest Lectures.
- Interacting with industry experts and top-notch visiting faculties from throughout the country.
- The innumerable student activities like Management fest, AGON & Sports and Cultural fest, and RUSH made it possible for the students to promote their talents at the National level.
- Some of the best Clubs and Committees that improve your organizational as well as extracurricular skills.
So yes, joining IIM Ranchi for an MBA is worth every rupee and every second you spend.

Is it worth choosing IIM Ranchi, Trichy for MBA in terms of placement and future scope?
Yes, you can easily choose IIM Ranchi or Trichy based on their placement statistics because the placement scenarios at both IIMs seem promising despite the lack of infrastructure and campus facilities. In many cases, Trichy and Ranchi have exchanged leads outside the ABC and LIK worlds. All can be overcome if you are taught by the best professors.
Elaborating further, IIM Trichy seems better than Ranchi or Rohtak to me. The reason being the superior teaching methods and its favorable location both for students as well as recruiters. Apart from Trichy, other IIMs are also doing fairly well compared to non-CAT MBA institutes. These are doing well with the help of sponsor IIMs which arrange faculty and placements. These in turn select their own Directors and invest in the infrastructure required in another 3–4 years as Trichy and Ranch have already done.
Which IIM should I prefer out of IIM Udaipur, IIM Trichy, and IIM Ranchi?
I think that Udaipur is one of the most underrated IIMs. To elaborate on this point let me enlighten you with some amazing facts about it

- It ranks better than IIM Indore
- It is ranked along with IIM Indore in the 101+ category in the World QS Ranking
- IIM Udaipur is the youngest B-school in India to get AACSB Accreditation.
- IIM Udaipur is ranked 4th in Research in India in the research ranking by UT Dallas and has overtaken Calcutta which is in the 5th position
In reality IIM Udaipur is an IIM that has an extensive research culture. The rankings are a reflection of how quickly it has climbed the ladder. It is due to its high-quality research that many excellent permanent faculty has become a part of IIM Udaipur. This does not make it the best IIM but still, it is heading toward becoming the best.
Another major attraction of this institute is its impartial nature in every aspect be it placements or admissions. The students are not deceived at any point at all.
The placement statistics are seeing a gradual improvement over the past few years.
