What is the difference between 2 MBA programs (PGDM and GMP) offered by SPJIMR, Mumbai?

SD
Shekhar Deshmukh Posted On : March 15th, 2023
Studied at S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR)

he PGCIM program, started in association with the Center of Indo-European Business Studies, co-financed by the European Union Commission - The ESB Reutlingen Track, has evolved over time with the addition of partner colleges from more countries. The program is more focused on International Management / General Management, whereas PGDM is the traditional MBA program offered by SP Jain Institute where you specialize in one of the following: Finance, Operations, Marketing, or Information Management.

If you choose PGDM, you will learn more about managing the finances, operations, marketing, and IT for a company. In contrast, GMP teaches you how to handle Business Operations of a company in an international setting, which requires you to learn subjects like International Business Law, International Trade and Finance, and International Economics. These subjects talk about how laws in different countries vary and what needs to be taken care of when doing business with a company from a particular country. In addition, subjects like Entrepreneurship and Management Consulting teach you about the factors that nurture a culture of Entrepreneurship at a country level and the art of facilitation for solving business problems.

One significant difference between the two programs is that in PGDM, you make a vast personal network of professionals in India. However, in GMP, you make a vast personal network of professionals across the globe, which is essential for International Business. Your extended network is bigger than you imagine in various ways, such as making a network with the students in the country you go to and your classmates who are your extended network in other countries. If you go to ESB Reutlingen, your primary network is going to be very diverse as Reutlingen University is the most international university in Germany.

Is it worth choosing AIIMS, Raipur over Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Medical College, Raipur for an MBBS?

DP
Devpriyo Pal Posted On : November 16th, 2022
Former Intern at All India Institute of Medical Sciences Raipur (2017-2018)

I would personally recommend you choose AIIMS Raipur over Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Medical College. Although there are many reasons that have gotten me to this conclusion, I will list down the core reasons that will help you make up your mind. 

Pros-

  • AIIMS Raipur is a central institute that lays more emphasis on quality education.

  • You don’t have to sign any bonds

  • You get to meet a better crowd. This is because AIIMS Raipur constitutes the cream of medical students. Whereas in Pt. JNM, people who are not selected in other colleges usually get admitted.

  • The infrastructure is equally good in both colleges. But the hostel facilities are horrible in Pt. JNM.

  • The DKR super specialty hospital is the pride of AIIMS Raipur.

  • AIIMS Raipur is house to a full-fledged sickle cell research institute

  • AIIMS Raipur also has an advanced Cardiac Institute and a new regional cancer center building

Cons-

  • The patient load at Pt.JNM is comparatively less than that at AIIMS Raipur This helps you protect your quality over quantity agenda. This is also a must needed skill for every doctor.

  • Pt. JNM has an extensive aluminum base whereas AIIMS Raipur lacks in this aspect.

  • The faculty at AIIMS Raipur is understaffed. Whereas at Pt.JNM the faculty is experienced and also satisfies the MCI criteria.

I hope the points helped you reach a decision.

Which must one choose: M.Tech. from IIT Bombay or MBA from IIM Bangalore?

AB
Arun Balakrishnan Posted On : February 27th, 2023
Startup Enthusiast, Biker, Music Lover, Cricketer

An MTech from IIT Bombay and an MBA from IIM Bangalore are two very different options. While one focuses on technological aspects the other focuses on managerial aspects. So before even dwelling on the worth of the courses individually you should self-analyze your inclinations and choose one path you are sure about.

Jot down your short and long-term goals. What exactly are you willing to do in your life apart from earning money? Are you more inclined to the corporate world or are the technical elements that attract you more? Having clarity of goals and understanding of what you want from your life is the primary determining factor for choosing your college as well as course.

Objectively, both courses offer a plethora of job prospects and you will gain a lot by choosing any of the two. But making a wise decision here is most important. Choosing an MBA just because it has good career prospects despite having an interest in technology is deluding yourself. You cannot attain success unless you are sincerely passionate about the field you are pursuing.

RA
Rahul Anand Posted On : January 11th, 2023

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

  • 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.

What's preferable between KGMU, Lucknow and AIIMS Patna (taking rural service bond into consideration)?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : June 5th, 2023

KGMU was established as early as 1905 while AIIMS Patna was established recently in 202. So the former seems to be more experienced with better opportunities and senior faculties. Let's look at these institutes one to one for a better understanding.

KGMC is one of the prominent colleges in north India and is preferred to many colleges in Delhi. The students here are called georgians

KGMC

  • The clinical exposure offered here is unmatched and it produces many skilled doctors.
  • It enjoys a central location of being in the capital city of UP.
  • KGMC has an extensive alumni base that has made significant contributions to society.
  • The 2 major flaws of KGMC are its huge batch size and the bond after MBBS.
  • KGMU has 50% reservation in PG in the state quota.
  • It receives the maximum number of serious cases of North East India 
  • The institute boasts excellent infrastructure.
  • Despite it being old, it is equipped with maximum medical instruments and is well-maintained.

AIIMS Patna

  • It's far off from the main city and thus its location might be disadvantageous to some.
  • It's relatively new and thus lacks good alumni.
  • AIIMS Patna has many better and high-quality hostel and mess facilities that aren't available in KGMC.
  • The quality of education offered at AIIMS Patna is top notch
  • The student body is more diverse, as the seats are filled from AIQ 100%. 
  • It also focuses on extracurricular in addition to the excellent academic environment and students are given a chance to explore their passions and develop as a whole.
  • No 50% reservation for PG here

All in all, considering the AIIMS tag and the fast-paced growth the institute has witnessed, AIIMS Patna is the best choice for you.

Which is best -MBA in finance from ISB Hyderabad or top IIMS A/B/C?

PS
Prakriti Sharma Posted On : January 30th, 2023
PGP from Indian School of Business (Graduated 2019)

ISB Hyderabad is known for its lack of specialization in Finance. It’s a common understanding now that even if one is preferring ISB Hyderabad for admission, they know that they should go for anything but Finance. Studying some aspects will give you a deeper insight as to why MBA in Finance from ISB Hyderabad is not recommended.

Faculty: Although the visiting faculty is quite decent, it’s the domestic faculty that has ruined the culture at ISB. They are arrogant, pathetic, and extremely incapable. They insult the students regularly and disturb student-teacher relations.

Placements: The roles offered in Finance were below average like Operations, Sales, and BD roles. Such roles were offered in abundance by the banks or start-ups. However, the superior roles like IB/PE/VC/M&A/FP&A/Equity Research/Credit Rating/Asset Management/TAS were offered scarcely. For instance 

  • only 10 FP and A roles were allotted that too only to CAs
  • Only one Investment banking role was offered by Barclays
  • Only 5 PE/bc roles were offered and there was a strong preference for a prior IB/PE/VC experience and IIT undergraduate background.
  • One M and A role was offered only
  • 4 Asset Management and zero Equity Research and Credit Rating roles were offered.

So the best roles were offered limitedly while the batch size stood at 900. Most students ended up with unsatisfactory placements. Now you can decide whether or not to join if you are confident to face the placement scenario.

Studied at the Birla Institute of Management Technology

You will find that BIMTECH has an advantage in terms of a better batch size, which leads to better quality placements in multiple sectors and provides a better return on investment compared to IBS Hyderabad. Additionally, placements have been improving and the overall experience is also positive.

Statistics reveal that by the end of November, 75% of the students were placed, with an average salary of approximately INR 8.6 LPA. The highest salary offered was INR 14 LPA and the lowest was INR 6 LPA.

It is to be noted that Birla Institute of Management and Technology (BIMTECH) Greater Noida has completed 100% placement for its PGDM 2021-2023 batch as early as January 2023, well before the batch completion. The placement data for 2023 demonstrates that the average salary has increased by 20% to over INR 11 LPA from INR 9.38 LPA the previous year. The highest salary has also increased to INR 23.43 LPA from INR 18 LPA the previous year.

Renowned companies such as Schneider Electric, Capgemini, and Kantar have come to offer good job profiles to students.

Which is better, NIT Calicut for CSE or IIIT Bangalore for CSE?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : October 19th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Students from both these institutes will have a bias for their respective colleges. If you ask IIIT Bangalore students, they will recommend you choose their college. The same is the case for NIT Calicut students.

Reach out to one senior from both these colleges who belongs to the CSE department. Ask them about the infrastructure, faculty, curriculum, placements, and other important aspects of their respective department. Don’t ask an NITC student about IIITB, and vice versa. This is because they might have misconceptions about the other institute. 

I would recommend IIIT Bangalore. The institute has top-notch faculty, placements, research facilities, campus quality, and hostels. Moreover, it doesn’t follow any reservation criteria for admissions, unlike NITC. 

Try to approach seniors from both these colleges, and research a bit on the IIIT Bangalore CSE department. Also, IIIT Bangalore offers iM.Tech in CSE, and not B.Tech.

Which is better for B.Arch- NIT Trichy, NIT Calicut or Jamia Milia Islamia?

KP
Khushi Panday Posted On : August 20th, 2021
Studied Electrical and Electronics Engineering at National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2019)

All three colleges fall on the list of top Architecture institutes in India. NIT Calicut and NIT Trichy are known for Architecture as their best programs. Having to know some people studying in these institutes, I can say that though NITs are the best for architecture, Jamia is also at par with them.

  • It is obvious that NIT is a much more popular brand than Jamia. But it is still really good when it comes to architecture.
  • Jamia has the locational advantage of being situated in the capital city.
  • Jamia has better industrial exposure compared to NIT Trichy or Calicut.
  • The course curriculum of NITs is more inclined towards the technical side, which is an upside.
  • Placements at NITs are definitely better, but Jamia is also not lagging behind.
  • The infrastructure is better in the NITs than Jamia, be it labs, seminar halls, library, etc.
  • The fees at NITs are a bit higher than Jamia.
  • Though students will get better opportunities after graduating from NIT Trichy or Calicut.
Categories Architecture at NIT Trichy Architecture at NIT Calicut Architecture at Jamia Millia Islamia
Course Fee 7.00 lakh 6.78 lakh 55,750
Highest CTC 20 LPA 16 LPA 12-13 LPA
Average CTC 10 LPA 8 LPA 6-7 LPA

Therefore, it is suggested that you opt for NIT Trichy or Calicut for pursuing architecture. If not then you can go for Jamia instead, as it is also a good college.
