Q: How can you compare ISB’s CBA vs IIM Bangalore’s BAI courses?

Both ISB’s CBA and IIM Bangalore’s BAI are vastly different from one another. The following are some of the advantages and disadvantages of both. CBA at ISB: Pros: Global Faculty and a very good campus are available to CBA students for the entire year, just like PGP students. Very good networking opportunity with 100+ batch as you live on campus with them sharing food, time, and fun. As the 5th batch of CBA graduates, the alumni base is strong. Except for tutorials, the teaching method is primarily offline. Prof Shailesh, Prof Sarang Deo, Prof Arun, and Prof Sudhir Voleti are some of the best faculty in the market. ISB Brand Value because ISB promotes this course as a full-time option. Cons: One of the main factors is the high cost. They should raise prices slightly and offer more career opportunities. IIM B or L: Pros: Global Faculty and Excellent Peers IIM Brand Worth. More suitable for working people is the online method. In comparison to ISB, the fees are minor. Cons: You are not permitted to stay on campus, which limits your opportunities to network with your peers. Although IIM promotes this as an executive course, it is more appropriate to take it offline because concepts are difficult to grasp online.

Question 1

What is the fee for SC/ST students in IIM A, B, and C?

Accepted Answer

There is no concession for SC/ST students in IIM A, B and C. But this is not a major issue.

IIMs offer a lot of financial aid services to financially weak people. In some cases, the entire fee is paid by the college or some part. It depends on the judgment of the panel on the basis of your situation.

All IIMs offer educational loans at a relatively low interest rate. Banks usually consider IIM students as a profitable investment. So rather than worrying about the money, focus more on your goals.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Is it worth doing an E MBA from IIM Bangalore? I work as SSE. I make around 50 lakhs per annum, age 32 and I have a B Com.

Accepted Answer

If you measure the worth of a degree by its salary, you will never be satisfied, and I recommend that you do not pursue an MBA. Money is only one of many factors to consider before beginning an MBA program. The salary you have is something that most people do not get even after an MBA/Executive MBA; average salary packages range between Rs. 22 and Rs. 25 lakhs. You are already earning twice as much.

If you want to advance your knowledge of business/strategy/finance/organizational behavior and advance to a higher position where you can have a significant impact, an MBA is unquestionably a good option. However, there is no guarantee that you will earn more than 50 lakhs after completing your EMBA. Go for it if you want to learn and are willing to take a pay cut after your MBA. Don't do it if you're only in it for the money. You could invest in the stock market and watch your money double over time. MBA does not magically transform 50 lakhs into 1 crore.
