What are the placement prospects for one pursuing PGP from IIM Bangalore with 7 years of work experience in PSU?

DS
Deborah Sam Posted On : December 29th, 2022
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore

IIM Bangalore is supposedly the best school for people with prior work experience. In comparison to other IIMs in India, this is completely true. The lateral placements in IIMB deserve credit. There is, however, a stipulation regarding the number of years of work experience. If someone has 2-3.5 years of work experience, it is an ideal place for him because he will be allowed in almost all companies in both laterals and finals. Everyone is welcome to compete in the finals. In general, the following three things occur:

  • Candidates with 0-2 years of work experience are good for finals but have few chances in laterals. Preferred in marketing, finance, and top consulting positions (for the brightest).
  • Candidates with (2-3.5) years of professional experience are excellent for laterals and finals. Preferred in all situations, including consulting.
  • Candidates with (3.5-4.5) years of work experience: Good for laterals, with an average chance of making it to the finals (but good for average consulting roles and relevant experience)
  • Candidates with 4.5+ years of work experience have a poor chance of making it to the finals, except for relevant experience and some consulting roles, and a mixed chance of making it to the laterals ( some might end up getting good, for some, it might be average)

It is determined by the candidate's profile, achievements, type of work experience, GPA (DML list), networking, communication skills, the nature and demand of the recruiting company, the job market, availability, and so on. 


Prospects for 7 years of work-ex are now available. With that, you should be prepared to explain its alignment with your career goals during the shortlisting process. Some startups do offer opportunities to talented students with extensive work experience. Getting on the DML list increases your chances of success everywhere. You should have place com people on your side. If you believe that these things are difficult for you, try taking sabbaticals/study leaves (if you work in a PSU) and evaluating later. You will almost certainly be assigned here. The placement's quality cannot be guaranteed.

How is IIM Kozhikode for an Executive MBA for someone with 10 years of work experience? Is the time duration and investment worth it?

MS
Mahak Sengupta Posted On : May 20th, 2023
PDGM from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (2016)

If the job opportunity offered at the end of an Executive MBA from IIM Kozhikode is less than what you are already earning, it’s not logical to invest 20 Lakhs and gain nothing in return. However, irrespective of your current package, an Executive MBA is a unique qualification and will help you for further growth. 

There are many institutes that offer Executive MBA at lesser fees than IIMs. Listed below are some of the top institutes offering Executive MBA courses in the country along with the fees charged by them

Symbiosis Center for Management and HRD

INR 2,10,000

Symbiosis Institute of Business Management

INR 6,20,000

Indian Institute of Business Management and Studies

INR 40,800

FMS

INR 95,000

Shall I go for PGDBM from NMIMS, or shall I go for PGCBM from XLRI, Jamshedpur? Please feel free to advice any other course, apart from these two related to EMBA. I have 5 plus years of experience.

SG
Siddarth Ghose Posted On : April 18th, 2023
lived in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India

XLRI has a strong reputation for Human Resource (HR) management and Industrial Relations (IR) studies. If an individual is specifically interested in HR/IR, then XLRI would be a better option compared to NMIMS (Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies). However, if you are looking for a general management program, then NMIMS would be a better choice because of its excellent peer group and rigorous curriculum. 


XLRI is still a good institute for other streams, but it is more specialized in HR and IR. Similarly, NMIMS is known for its general management program, and it may not have the same level of expertise as XLRI in HR/IR.
