Which B-school will be the best for a person with 3.5 years of work among IIM B, IIM C, FMS, and NITIE?

IIM Bangalore assigns maximum weightage to work experience. A total of 8 points are added to the total percentile of the candidate in the case of students with more than 3 years of work experience. 

The placement scenario at IIM Bangalore is also pretty good when compared with the other institutions mentioned. The top recruiters that visit the campus for recruitment purposes include Amazon, Accenture, American Express, and Bharti Airtel. The average salary offered to the candidates of the institute is INR 26.18 Lakhs per annum as per the placement reports of the year 2020.

IIM Calcutta does not consider the work experience for the selection procedure. FMS also does not give weightage to the work experience of the candidates but it is always beneficial to have certain years of work experience for the selection process. For NITIE, the students are judged based on their academic records, Group discussion, and Personal interview rounds. The work experience in the relevant field would however provide the candidate with an edge over the other ones though it is not mentioned anywhere by the institute.

So, a candidate with around 3.5 years of work experience would be the best fit for IIM Bangalore. IIM Lucknow can be the next suitable option for you as the institution offers 10 points to candidates with work experience.
