Is it worth to do Post graduation from IIM Sambalpur?

AM
Ashutosh Mohapatra Posted On : January 24th, 2023
Former Studied at DAV Public Schools, India (2009–2017)

Whether Post Graduation from IIM Sambalpur is worth it or not depends solely on what you want from your MBA and your career interests.

For instance, if you are already prospering in your current workplace, pursuing MBA is not worth the time and fees you will spend. The MBA degree will add no value to your profile so it’s better for you to keep working. I have seen many people forgoing offers from IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, and XLRI mainly because they are certain the MBA degree will add no value to their career and is just a waste of time and money.

While choosing any B School be it IIM Sambalpur or any other B School, you need to check if an MBA degree will help you escalate your career or if you will just end up with a hefty loan to repay and no career upgrade.

Coming to IIM Sambalpur specifically, I don’t think a person who is prospering at his current job and wants to do MBA just for the sake of it will want to join IIM Sambalpur. The MBA degree from that institute specifically adds no value at all to his profile. In other cases, you can think of joining IIM Sambalpur.

Is It worth to join B schools like IMT/IMI/XIMB whose fees are around 20 lakhs if I have calls from reputed government colleges on par with these?

SB
Suntonu Basu Posted On : March 13th, 2023
Professor of Finance at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (2015-present)

Before I talk about the worth of private B Schools like IMT/IMI/XIMB, let’s consider their average packages.

B School

Average Package

IMT 

INR 17.35 LPA

IMI Delhi

INR 17.01 LPA

XIMB

INR 20 LPA

The average package of government colleges like IITs and DSE is slightly less around INR 10.57 LPA. So the point is if you are ready to invest a hefty amount in B Schools, you will not regret the decision as they are game changers. The level of exposure and diversity is almost higher than in Government colleges. IITs, DFS and DSE MBAs have a more theoretical approach than a practical one. However, the figures for private B schools are inflated so do consider the ups and downs.

  • IITs are best for operations and manufacturing industries
  • IMT or XIMB is a good option for Marketing
  • DFS or IMI are best suited for Finance
  • XIMB or DSE are best for HR

The final decision is up to you. Try to find what exactly you want from MBA

  • If you are looking for the IIT tag, then IIT
  • If you are after ROI or PhD then DSE or DFS
  • If you want to climb the corporate ladder, XIMB is the best

Make a well-informed decision after proper research.

My son got admission at IMT, Ghaziabad. Is it worth it to take admission? The fee is Rs. 19 lakhs

VS
Vidushi Singla Posted On : January 25th, 2023
PGDM from Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad (Graduated 2022)

Everyone has a different definition of worth. In my opinion, IMT Ghaziabad is worth getting admission at under the following circumstances 

  • If you are a Marketing enthusiast, IMT Ghaziabad is the best B School out there for you. It’s well known for its specialization in marketing and offers a plethora of opportunities in the same.
  • If you are ready to put extra effort to learn and adopt the techniques of trade
  • If your target packages range from 12-20 LPA
  • If you are not interested in MBB firms or Investment Banking roles
  • If your graduation from college does not include the institutes like top 5 IIT/SRCC/LSR

In fact if right harnessed, IMT Ghaziabad has many excellent opportunities to offer. It’s a well-established institute and among the top B Schools in the country. Established as early as 1980, it has an elaborate alumni network. So if you are true to yourself and your career this B School will help you climb to the top gradually.

Should I opt for AIIMS Raipur over AIIMS Jodhpur if I am from Maharashtra as Jodhpur is further away? I am generally looking for good college and hostel facilities and infrastructure.

PS
Prayasan Sircar Posted On : November 16th, 2022
M.B.B.S. from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (Expected 2023)

Many students are confused while choosing their AIIMS College. AIIMS Raipur is usually ranked low in the list of 2012 implemented AIIMS.So firstI will address the misconceptions that l led to this conclusion:

  • People think that the hostel is far from the campus. When in reality you will be staying in the residential complex. You can come to the campus easily via a bus. Also you will be free from the fear of seniors. Also after a year you will be given single rooms at the hostel itself.

  • To have a look at its infrastructure, people refer to its old pictures which are misleading. The college and hostel are in fact massive and house thousands of students.

  • There is a rumour that AIIMS Raipur campus is incomplete. In reality, a dental college is being constructed.

  • People assume that since it’s located in Raipur, the crowd is also below average.

The only flaw is that the city needs development. All AIIMSs get equal funding and faculty distributed evenly. Yet AIIMS Raipur is underrated.

Which college should I prefer for Finance: XIMB BM, IMT G or IMI Delhi?

PD
Pinaki Dasgupta Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
Worked at Engineers India Limited

In choosing your B-school, the primary factors that you should consider are, the specialization you want to opt for and the ROI you are expecting. In your case, you want to go for Finance. The list of preferred B Schools you mentioned has similar fees and placements so I will be answering solely based on specialization.

Finance: IMI Delhi is the best choice of all the options when it comes to Finance. A premium quality crowd opts for Finance at IMI Delhi and the main reason is the customized MBA program in Finance. Many companies of the Finance sector visit the campus for placements. Finance students also avail the best opportunities and guidance and have a higher level of security than Marketing students.

However, in case you have more than 2-3 years of work experience, IMI Delhi is not a suitable option. Although you may stand out among your batchmates, the companies visiting the campus are not aware of this and offer roles suitable for less experienced students only. So your work experience may not be credited here. 

The general preference order should be: IMI D>XIMB>IMT G

Should I join Accenture or IIM Raipur?

AS
Animesh Shah Posted On : January 20th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Raipur (2021)

Your question basically means whether you should gain experience or pursue MBA from IIM Raipur. In my opinion, joining IIM Raipur is the right choice because

  1. You have cleared CAT and got selected. This might never happen in the future again due to the unpredictable nature of CAT. So don’t lose this opportunity.
  2. Joining Raipur right now is almost similar to going for a better B school 2 years later as Raipur might be flourishing till then.
  3. Even if you work and join IIM Raipur later, your disinterest in the job might be reflected in your interview thus becoming a negative impact on the panelists.

The fear of joining a new IIM is common as one is investing huge amounts of money. But you need to remember that every new IIM becomes an old IIM one day.

Which should I choose from NSS, NCC or NSO in NIT Jalandhar, and why?

PP
Pritish Poswal Posted On : December 2nd, 2022
B.Tech in Chemical Engineering B.Tech. in Electronics and Engineering, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Jalandhar (NITJ) (Expected 2023)

My brother is an NITJ alumni and he strongly recommends joining NCC in NIT Jalandhar. Some points that support his recommendation are:

  • Reserved qouta in various exams like SSC-CGL

  • Excellent exposure 

  • No compulsory attendance at athletic fest

  • Disciplined life that leads to self improvement 

  • A touch of life of Armed Forces

Apart from NCC, NSS is also a good option. But don’t go for NSO at all. There are hardly any benefits to avail of.

Is IIM Ahmedabad really worth doing? If I somehow clear the entrance exams, then will I get satisfied with the placement/package that they will provide me?

SM
Sonal Mishra Posted On : May 4th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

 When considering pursuing an MBA from top-ranked institutions like IIM Ahmedabad, it's important to keep in mind that not everyone who attends will be satisfied with the outcome. While a degree from a prestigious institution can provide financial rewards and recognition, it's important to consider personal goals and priorities before committing to a rigorous curriculum. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

  • Personal goals: It's important to have a clear understanding of your goals before pursuing an MBA. For some, it may be about salary or credibility, while for others, it may be about personal growth or career advancement. 
  • Direction: Pursuing an MBA from a top-ranked institution can provide direction and guidance on your career path. However, it's important to note that the direction you take ultimately depends on you as an individual.
  • Satisfaction: Not everyone who graduates from top-ranked institutions is satisfied with their careers. While they may have achieved financial success and credibility, they may still feel unfulfilled and dissatisfied with the daily grind of a stressful job and dirty politics.
  • Individuality: Everyone has their own unique path in life, and it's important to recognize that what works for one person may not work for another. Some graduates may be content with a modest salary and a fulfilling career, while others may prioritize financial success over everything else.
  • Work-life balance: Pursuing an MBA can be demanding and stressful, and it's important to find a healthy work-life balance to prevent burnout and health issues.

Pursuing an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad or any top-ranked institution can provide financial rewards and recognition, but it's important to consider personal goals, direction, satisfaction, individuality, and work-life balance before committing to a rigorous curriculum. Ultimately, the key to a fulfilling career is finding a balance between professional growth, personal aspirations, and overall well-being.

Lives in Ludhiana

Yes, you might get into CMC Ludhiana with 513 marks in the All India Open Category in the 2nd counseling. CMC Ludhiana NEET Cutoff 2022 for this category was 16113 . Based on the NEET marks vs. rank, the rough estimate of marks required for this rank is 608-610 . Given that you have scored 513 marks, I feel there are still chances for you to make it to this college. However, this is just a prediction and does not guarantee your admission.
