How was your interview experience at IIM Nagpur?

MBA in Master of Business Administration Degrees, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Delhi (Graduated 2018)

My friend recently flunked her interview as she did not prepare for the questions related to her undergraduate degree. They asked her to start with a basic introduction after which they asked her about the subjects of her undergraduate program. Because she had not prepared well for this part, her hesitation took the better of her. They probed her with questions like

Did you study Financial Subjects or about to study?

  • What is the Current ratio?
  • What is Net worth?
  • What is the Income of the Company?
  • What is Return on Sales?
  • Unearned income and where it comes from?
  • What should I ask you?
  • What's the idea if you want to do entrepreneurship?
  • What is a Dividend?

What worsened her situation was the questions asked by the second panel. She asked her some mathematical questions which became the reason for her doom.

The conclusion from the interview is that as a fresher you should definitely go through your graduation subjects as most of the questions will be asked from that only. Remember they will question your ability to answer the questions confidently most importantly.

Is it worth joining IIM Nagpur for a person who already has work experience of 3.5 years and earns an 8.3 LPA?

MBA in General Management, Indian Institute of Management, Nagpur (Graduated 2022)

When considering the question of which MBA program to attend, it is important to recognize that there is no definitive answer and that the decision will vary depending on the individual. There is a multitude of factors to consider before making this decision, and understanding how these factors weighed into another individual's decision-making process can be helpful in making one's own decision.

For those considering IIM Nagpur, the first factor to consider is likely to be the cost of tuition. It is not uncommon for MBA programs to come with a significant price tag, and this can be a significant factor in determining which program to attend. IIM Nagpur has a fee structure of INR 13.75 lakhs, which is significantly lower than many other options on the market. This can make a big difference for those who are taking out an educational loan, as it can free up funds for other opportunities or risks.

Another important factor to consider when looking at MBA programs is the brand value of the institution. IIMs are widely recognized as the best business schools in India, and the reputation of an IIM can open doors in the job market and throughout one's career. It is crucial to weigh in the long-term benefits that come with being associated with an IIM.

Batch diversity in experience is another important consideration, especially for those who are looking to leverage peer learning as one of the most important aspects of an MBA program. IIM Nagpur has a diverse set of students with rich experience from a variety of industries, which can open up opportunities to learn about different domains and industries that one might not have been aware of before.

Lastly, the curriculum, faculty, and culture of the school are important factors when selecting an MBA program. IIM Nagpur has a vast curriculum that is designed to closely align with the business world. Faculty are well experienced and knowledgeable in their subjects and make sure the students understand the concepts in a better way. Additionally, there is a great extent of flexibility in the electives that the students want to study. With this, students can spend the first year trying to figure out their interests and then choose electives accordingly in the second year.

What is a better choice, take a job at Mu Sigma as a fresher or pursue an MBA at IIM Nagpur?

AM
Ananya Maurya Posted On : January 30th, 2023
Former Manager at Mu Sigma (company) (2010–2015)

It is important to make decisions about pursuing a postgraduate degree, such as an MBA, based on long-term goals and not just temporary emotions or the advice of others. It is also helpful to have a clear vision of where you want to be in 10 years, as the specific timing of when you obtain your degree may not be as significant as the institution you attended and whether or not you have achieved your desired career goals. If you are unsure of your long-term goals or what you want from life, it is a sign of maturity to recognize and accept this, as it is not uncommon for most people to discover their path through experiences and self-reflection.

It is worth considering the potential drawbacks of pursuing a PGDM (postgraduate diploma in management) from a new institute such as IIM Nagpur. It may be more difficult for students at new institutes to secure top jobs, especially as fresher. Additionally, students may not have as much flexibility in terms of choosing their preferred industry or profile and may have to accept positions with mass recruiters. In contrast, working for a company like Mu Sigma may provide the opportunity to gain exposure to diverse industries and a deeper understanding of the corporate world, as well as the chance to develop self-awareness through brainstorming sessions and project meetings. This may ultimately help you to determine your desired path, whether it be an MBA or a different field such as financial engineering or customer psychology.

How are the placements at IIM Nagpur?

PT
Pragya Tripathi Posted On : January 30th, 2023
IIM Nagpur

Whether or not it is a good idea to pursue a postgraduate degree at IIM Nagpur (or any other IIM) depends on the individual circumstances and alternatives available. Here are some general guidelines to consider:

  • If you are a software engineer with a strong coding ability and the option to switch jobs, or if you are an engineer with a non-software job that pays more than INR 5 lakh per year, or if you have a degree from a top college in a city, you may want to consider skipping IIM Nagpur.
  • If you have below-average academics and will not be able to secure a good job, or if you are an engineer in a core industry with a non-permanent job and a salary of around INR 2 lakh, you may want to consider attending IIM Nagpur.
  • Keep in mind that companies from top industries may view IIM Nagpur graduates as inferior and may not consider them for certain positions.
  • It is also worth considering the long-term career prospects of graduates from IIM Nagpur. Some may find that their peers who did not pursue an MBA are more successful in the job market, even if they have less education and experience.
  • Lastly, be aware that starting salaries for IIM Nagpur graduates may be lower, and you may have to take on additional loans in order to afford the cost of education and maintain a certain lifestyle. These loans may take several years to pay off.

In summary, if you are an engineer with a decent job, it may be best to avoid IIM Nagpur (and possibly other IIMs) unless you are confident that you can rank in the top 20% of the class. Otherwise, the time and money spent on an MBA may not be worth it in the long run.

Are the six newest IIMs a good option? (i.e., IIM Nagpur, Vizag, Amritsar, Sirmaur, Bodhgaya, Sambalpur)

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 20th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I wouldn’t suggest you take admission to any new IIM if you are not ready to commit yourself to hard work both in terms of academics and extracurriculars. The Baby IIMs require determination and dedication and if you lack any of these, it’s better to look for other options.

The opportunities offered by the new IIMs are way ahead and unique when compared to the older ones. You shouldn’t join a new IIM merry to enjoy the benefits from the IIM tag because that alone won’t suffice it. It's better to take a drop year and target an older IIM than go for a new one that is yet to make its mark in the industry.

The new IIMs are suitable for those who are ready to work and toil and take advantage of opportunities in building a new institute. Most students will end up with a job but it’s not a brainer that there will be a big compromise and namesake job compared to the colorful careers an IIM brand promises.
