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

Prakriti SharmaPGP 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.

What is the course structure of the PGPEX program at IIM Calcutta and how beneficial is it?

Vikas SinhaStudied at Indian Institute of Management Calcutta

The PGPEX program at IIM Calcutta is a one-year full-time program designed for work-ex graduates with at least five years of experience. They would ideally require some experience in Manager's position in the companies where they have previously worked.

There are six terms in total, with an Immersion Week in between. Each term lasts approximately 7 weeks, and the course is completed in 11 months. The curriculum includes both core and elective subjects, and students can choose what they want to specialize in by taking courses from among the electives offered.

What online courses or certifications can I pursue to make my profile good enough for IIM Calcutta?

Jayant ThakurIIM Calcutta, IIT Bombay

The selection criteria for IIM Calcutta differ greatly from those of the other IIMs. Calcutta gives CAT score and X, XII marks weightage for WAT and PI selection.

Because Calcutta places a high value on CAT scores, it is advisable to begin preparing for the exam as soon as possible. Give a lot of practice tests, evaluate your results, and figure out where you're going wrong.

Once you have a good CAT score, you should start preparing for WAT/PI. Because your GPA is low, there is a good chance that the interviewer will be concerned. Make the interviewer understand why your GPA is low, and everything will be fine. You will get in if you work hard enough.

How good is the Executive Program In Financial Risk Investment Management EPFRIM at IIM Calcutta?

Ridhima AiriManagement Consultant | Footballer | Quizzer | IIT-Delhi Alumnus

Any course offered by an institute like IIM Calcutta is guaranteed to be of the highest quality and have significant industry relevance. Instead of this course, it is recommended that you take the CAT and then enroll in the flagship PGDM program at IIM Calcutta. That would be entirely consistent with your desire to work in investment banking.

The recent financial crisis was largely caused by managers' inability to fully comprehend and manage the operational risks of the new generation of derivatives. Future finance managers, it is believed, must be fully equipped with the mathematical and conceptual theories, as well as best practices, that go into the creation and management of such innovative products.
The IIMC faculty combines academic excellence with top management industry experience. IIMC also hires international faculty from top business schools. The IIMC certification and alumni network help participants advance in their careers. The program is only for working professionals, and there will be no campus placement after this course.

Does IIM Calcutta provide any short-term courses?

ShatrunjayStudied at Indian Institute of Management Calcutta

Yes, IIM Calcutta does provide several short-term courses. One such course is EPLM (Executive Program in Leadership). The main agenda of this course is to produce highly skilled leaders with great management skills. The course was earlier named PLAM but after the 5-6th batch, it changed its name to EPLM.

Fees: INR 6,04,000 + GST View Payment Plan Special Corporate Enrolment Pricing

Duration: 1 Year Live Online Sessions with Faculty 3 hours/ week Saturday, 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM.

How academically intense is the MBA at IIM Calcutta?

Anurag SharmaPGP-PGDM from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (Graduated 2019)

The curriculum at MBA Calcutta is pretty intense. This is because the students here are equally talented and tough competition is required to maintain the rigor. Some features that make the curriculum at IIM Calcutta extensive are:

Seminars
Practicals
Laboratory sessions
Live projects, simulations and role-play activities
Occasionally classes are taught by industry experts from peer schools or from abroad
Consistent revision of the course

All these make IIM Calcutta one of the most academically intense institutions in India. The competition here is tough because of the batch size as well as the rigid grading system.

What is the key to score 98+ plus percentile in the CAT? If I can get IIM Calcutta, how am I going to arrange the fees of 30 lakhs?

Gurmukh SinghMBA in Marketing, Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (Graduated 2020)

There is no specific way to score 98+ percentile. The only key is to find your weak areas and work on them. Yet I have compiled a list of tips that might help you in your journey of preparing for CAT.

Prior to preparing for the exam, give one or two mock tests to identify your weak and strong areas. This will help you focus more on the areas you are weak.
Don’t set unrealistic goals like 98 or 99. Set a goal that you are confident you can achieve else you will end up getting demotivated and disappointed.
Don’t join coaching classes or turn to CAT experts unless you find it almost impossible to understand the concepts on your own. This is because classes will consume a lot of time and you might not get time to practice the concepts you have learned.
Gather the best study material and self-study.

All these tips will not guarantee a 98+ CAT score but they will surely improve your score to a great extent.

Is it justified for IIM Calcutta to increase fees from 22 lakhs to 27 lakhs for its one year MBA course when average placement salaries are less than 30 lakhs?

Amartya BaidyaStudied at Indian Institute of Management Raipur (Graduated 2019)

In today’s age, providing education has become more and more expensive. But it does not end there. Providing a good educational environment and experience has also become more and more challenging. IIM Calcutta’s decision to increase its fees is somewhat justified.

Some points that support my opinion are

After the experience of an MBA from IIM Calcutta your salary almost doubles.
You can change the line of your profession and get the role you had dreamt of.
The average salary after such a program would actually be lesser- say 25 Lakhs CTC.
Since it is a 1-year program, you get to work in the second year.

Investing in an MBA course at IIM Calcutta is surely a worthwhile investment. You won’t regret this decision and its value will stay with you forever.
