I'm working in ONGC for last 2 years after graduated from IIT Ropar? Now I have cracked IIM L, should I go for it?

SM
Shyam Mishra Posted On : November 24th, 2022
PGDM from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (Graduated 2019)

I know a friend who had cracked ONGC and almost touched 100 percentile in CAT. He decided not to go for ONGC but rather to prepare for CAT. But as luck would have it, she couldn’t make it into IIM A B C. 

She did not give up and studied hard for the same and got into IIM Calcutta and graduated in 2016. After a couple of chances, she opened her own company in the conventional manufacturing space.

The conclusion from this experience is that you should forego the IIM Calcutta offers if:

  • you want immediate monetary gains

  • you do not want to take risks 

  • you are not interested in entrepreneurship

You should go for IIM Calcutta if:

  • You are looking for a brand name

  • A huge IIM L network access

  • If you want an opportunity to pierce into the corporate management space

  • If you are interested in entrepreneurship 

It depends mainly on your risk undertaking ability and what you want from your job.

I got AIIMS Raipur in the 2nd round of counseling. Should I leave Seth GS for that?

MT
Mukund Tapdiya Posted On : November 16th, 2022
Studied at All India Institute of Medical Sciences

Whether you should leave Seth GS for AIIMS or not can be understood only after going through a general comparison between the two:

Academics: The academics of both colleges are somewhat similar.

Lifestyle: KEM is located in Mumbai so you will have to go through the metro lifestyle which includes pollution, crowd, and an unhygienic lifestyle.

Hostel: Hostel facilities are much better in AIIMS than in KEM. Also, KEM does not provide hostel facilities to 1st-year students. The hostels in KEM are very crowded.

Crowd: KEM has a larger batch and there might be crowding.

The final decision is yours.

How can I score well in IGNOU, M.A. English course?

MD
Mahesh Desai Posted On : October 21st, 2022
BA in Economics, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) (Graduated - 2014)

When it comes to study material, IGNOU definitely provides the best. The course is lucid, well-written, and informative and contains a summary of all important details. The quality of the study material makes it possible for you to solely rely on it and give exams. 

But if you are aiming for some brownie points, then there is an additional tip for you. Download MA English question papers of the past 5 years. Going through these papers will instil in you a confidence and general picture of the paper. You will also discover the important questions that are repeated almost every year and can focus more on those questions. Basically, this method will enable you to approach your exam a bit more confidently and well-prepared.

I got admission (PGDM) opportunities from IIM Rohtak and IIM Udaipur! Should one go or sit for CAT again this year? Any suggestions?

SU
Sidhant Unnithan Posted On : January 10th, 2023
I. P. M from Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (Expected 2024)

Sitting for CAT again is honestly not a very easy decision. So I will suggest you go for IIM Rohtak itself. This decision will be beneficial under the following circumstances 

  • If your past academic performance is not really good. This is because the older IIMs lay emphasis on past academics too much which in reality cannot be changed. So why risk a year when the chances are nearly zero?
  • If you already have 2 or more years of experience, it’s better you don’t forgo the opportunity.
  • If you are interested in domains like Finance or Marketing, it’s better to join now. This is because working too much in the IT field limits your chances of getting into Finance and Marketing.

So based on these points you can come up with a decision that’s best for you. Just remember that despite being new, IIM Rohtak belongs to the IIM family which in itself is a brand.

Should I choose AFMC over AIIMS Raipur or any new AIIMS?

NM
Naomie Mredha Posted On : November 16th, 2022
M.B.B.S. from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) (Expected 2023)

Every AIIMS is good and not much comparable. But if you compare it to AFMC, there are some things you need to know.

Firstly AFMC has a bond of 1 cr rupees if you want to quit after MBBS. But the infrastructure of AFMC Isi is exceptionally good. It just does not provide you the basic medical facilities but trains you in shooting, swimming, working in challenging conditions, daily PT, etc. All this will prepare you for a tough future.

The best part of AIIMS on the other hand is no bond is required to be signed. AIIMS focuses on medical facilities only. The classrooms are well-designed. The library, playground, gym, and other facilities add to the overall infrastructure of the college.

I will recommend that you go for AIIMS if you are willing to pursue PG right after MBBS. AFMC on the other hand lets you pursue PG only after serving for a fixed period of time. But don’t worry, the internship offers a good amount of money.

What are the best courses to take in IIM Calcutta?

SR
Seeekanth Reddy Posted On : November 28th, 2022
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (Graduated 2018)

My brother is in IIM Calcutta and over the period of 2 years he has studied many valuable courses. But 3 of them top the list of his favorites.

  1. Statistics for Management: Taught by Prof. Rahul Mukerjee, this course is a mandatory Term-I course. More than the subject itself it’s the professor that makes it an amazing experience. He is the recipient of many national awards and has taught all over the world at reputed universities like Harvard.

  2. Options, Futures and Derivatives: IIM Calcutta is without a doubt the finance campus of India. The finance faculty is the best you can get and this course does justice to finance completely. It’s quite a tough subject based on derivatives and technical finance. But for a true finance lover, it’s the best. It is taught by Prof. Binay Bhushan Chakrabarti (BBC) who was the Gold Medalist of the Batch of 1980 from IIM Calcutta.

  3. Management of Self: Another eye-catching course at IIM Calcutta is Management of Self taught by Prof. Leena Chatterjee. She is a motherly figure in college. This is the only course here that teaches you about nothing but your own self. It’s a sort of personality grooming course that requires you to take a few personality tests and write an autobiography. This course helps you get more familiar with yourself and overcome internal struggles. It’s a Term-V elective course.

Although all courses offered at IIM Calcutta have their own benefits, these 3 are among the best maybe because of the respective professors.
