IIM Sambalpur: 4 Answered Questions

What courses should I do before pursuing an MBA at IIM Sambalpur if I have an interest in finance and marketing?

Sidhharth JainMBA from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (Graduated 2020)

It is completely normal to have an interest in both finance and marketing, as they are both important and widely applicable areas of business. To explore your interest in finance, there are many short, introductory courses available on platforms like Udemy that can be completed at a relatively low cost, such as for no more than INR 500. Additionally, you can read basic finance books from any commerce background to gain a solid foundation in the subject. Similarly, for marketing, there are many courses available on platforms like Udemy, as well as other sites. However, it is worth considering that pursuing an MBA program with a fresh mind and an open outlook for many possibilities may be beneficial for gaining a comprehensive understanding of marketing.

In addition to gaining specialized knowledge in finance and marketing, it is also important to have a good understanding of MS Excel and Powerpoint. These skills are widely used in the business world and will be beneficial for any professional in any vertical or specialization.

Is it worth joining IIM Sambalpur for a 2-year MBA with 5 years of work experience?

Yashaswi SinghProfessor at Ajeenkya D.Y. Patil University (2016–present)

The decision on whether or not to take a break and join an IIM depends on your current situation.

How is IIM Sambalpur for MBA after 3 years of experience?

Harshit SinghMBA IT & Analytics, Indian Institute of Management Sirmaur (2020)

IIM Sambalpur is a new IIM and obviously lacks the credibility enjoyed by older IIMs. But it is not a very bad choice if you are just looking for a degree to add to your resume. Moreover, the IIM tag is bound to be helpful on one or the other day. In case you have limited options then forgoing IIM Sambalpur’s offer is not right. After all, it is an IIM and is still preferred over other B Schools by many corporations. The basic placement statistics below might help you get a deeper insight into the same

Highest CTC: INR 30 LPA

Average CTC: INR 12.64 LPA

Median CTC: INR 11.42 LPA

IIM Sambalpur will definitely not offer opportunities as good as other old IIMs but the IIM tag is tempting enough to grab the offer.

Which one is better for pursuing an MBA: IBS Hyderabad or IIM Sambalpur?

Akash TiwariMBA from Indian Institute of Management Amritsar

First of all, it’s wrong to compare IIM Sambalpur with a below-average institution like IBS Hyderabad. IIM Sambalpur might be a new IIM but it is still among the tier 3 colleges whereas IBS Hyderabad is nowhere near.

My friend is currently pursuing an MBA from IIM Sambalpur and has listed the following pros and cons of the institute

Pros

Under the mentorship of IIM Indore, IIM Sambalpur is slowly making its mark in the IIM family. It welcomes visiting faculties from IIM Indore which also shares the research work and other material with Sambalpur
IIM Sambalpur might soon become an educational center as it hosts one of the oldest engineering colleges of the state which is on its way to becoming an IIEST, a very reputed government medical college and a couple of other well-known government universities.
The airstrip near the city might soon become an airport in the near future thereby enhancing connectivity.
Although it functions from a leased campus, the infrastructure is top notch

Cons

It does not have its own campus and functions from leased premises
The campus is situated 20 km away from the city and the nearest railway station in a lowly private engineering college.
The placement is nowhere near the IIM standards
Weak alumni base due to recent establishment
The faculties are mediocrely experienced
The lack of connectivity is a major reason for poor placements. The nearest functional airport is in Bhubaneswar, 350 km away.

All in all IIM Sambalpur is a decent choice if you are passionate about the IIM tag only and have limited options. Some years down the line it might improve in brand value as well. So go for it if it’s the tag you are after but go for ISB if you want a better teaching experience.
