Which is better IIM Lucknow or IIM Calcutta for marketing? How much do marketing companies care about academics? Does Workex care about academics? What is the package difference?
Despite everything, IIM Calcutta is a much better business school overall than IIM Lucknow, regardless of the field. However, if you do not receive an offer from Calcutta, you may consider Lucknow. Some companies may not shortlist you because there will be candidates with far superior academic credentials. However, this is not a sufficient reason to avoid attending an IIM. You will have numerous opportunities to enhance your CV within the b-school through academic performance, winning b-school competitions (which often leads to a direct PPI), participating in PORs and other extracurricular activities, live projects, and so on.
Regardless of your prior academic performance, you will almost certainly be better off with an MBA from IIM Calcutta or Lucknow than without one, assuming you don't waste the two years in b-school doing nothing.

I want to pursue my MBA from FMS Delhi. How can I do my specialization in marketing? Do I need to have prior work experience to lap up a high paying marketing job?
Although prior work experience is not necessary to get a job after an MBA, it is desirable to recruiters. If you have work experience, then it will provide you with a little edge over the fresher crowd. If you don’t have then, it is totally fine. Many recruiters prefer fresher over a work experience person.
To do specialization in marketing, you have to complete your college first; then only you will be eligible to take specialization. Institutes do offer a choice to the students to opt for their desirable subjects, but the catch is the institute cannot provide all the subjects to all the students. There must be competition among the students to opt for trendy subjects. To get ahead of others, you must have to score well in your first year.
When IIM Kashipur is the most apt for Operations among the new IIMs, then why does the maximum placement there happens in Finance and Marketing?
Because of its location, IIM Kashipur has the best Operations faculties and links. However, there are a few issues with the placement of the same. The Institute does not award diplomas in specific fields such as operations, finance, and marketing. As a result, students of any major are always eligible to apply for any job. Because students are not enrolled in a specific stream when they join the institute, their preferences change after the first year of exposure. Many students enter the second year with the intention of majoring in Operations, but they end up majoring in other fields for personal reasons.
Even among them, there aren't many freshmen, for whom it can be challenging to find an operations job; as a result, even they end up getting placed in a different stream. Therefore, IIM Kashipur is indeed a perfect place for operations management, but only if you have the correct perspective on what ops are and if you stick with it.
Which college is better for a PGDM in Marketing, IMS Ghaziabad or NDIM Tughlakhabad?
To achieve a strong professional profile, it is recommended that you aim for a MAT score of 97 or above, or take the MAT exam again for the best results. Additionally, having a valid license for a two-wheeler may be beneficial for a sales profile, but it's best to confirm this with the placement officer.
In the event that you cannot reach the desired MAT tier, building a LinkedIn profile and connecting with alumni who have worked in sales profiles may provide insight into job stability and average take-home salary. Keep in mind that the success of a few students, even if they are featured in promotional posters, may not accurately reflect the experiences of the entire student body.
It's also important to consider placement quality, stability, and job sustainability when evaluating institutions. For instance, with a high student intake, NDIM may not necessarily guarantee quality placements. Checking LinkedIn for reviews from alumni may offer a more accurate perspective.
Lastly, be mindful when considering IMS G as there have been reports of dissatisfaction with placements among current and former students. It may be wise to consult LinkedIn for reviews and make an informed decision, as the investment in your education is significant.
I've a profile based call from SPJIMR for marketing. I'm a fresher and belong to biology stream. I do, however, have very strong acads and extra-curriculars. Is there a chance of conversion?
It would have helped if you had mentioned your CAT percentile but if you have got a profile-based call the ball is technically in your court, your good academic profile and extracurricular background would certainly give you enough topics to discuss in your GDPI process. And keep in mind that today most of the B-Schools are diversifying their students profiles which again gives you an edge because of your biology background.
SPJIMR usually has a cutoff of around 85 percentile in CAT for profile-based shortlisting and you gotta outperform others in the further rounds if your percentile is anywhere between 85-90.
Which is better NMIMS Bangalore or Great Lakes Gurgaon PGPM, for someone who wants to switch from IT to marketing?
NMIMS Bangalore is better than Great Lakes Gurgaon PGPM, and Great Lakes’s Manipal campus is only better.
The other campuses at Great Lakes are still in the growing stage, so I would suggest you not to choose them. Instead, you can opt for NMIMS, the faculties there are experienced, and they have industry exposure as well, plus you have a location advantage. Many companies have their offices in Bangalore, so it would be easy for you to grab a placement there. NMIMS also has a great student culture from various clubs and committees you can groom yourself.
