Questions Asked On IIM Ranchi, Ranchi

Which IIM is better, IIM Shillong, IIM Ranchi or IIM Rohtak? Why?

HS
Harsh Singhal Posted On : May 19th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (2020)

Every MBA aspirant faces the duration of multiple converts which leaves him in a dilemma for choosing the right Institute. Several points need to be considered before choosing the right Institute.

  • Location: For MBA students, exposure is very crucial. IIM Rohtak being situated in NCR, has the location advantage of providing industrial exposure, thereby enabling students to learn and grow. Such a locational advantage also allows many eminent industry experts to visit the campus and conduct guest lectures which maximize exposure. 
  • Peer: One of the major highlights of an MBA program is the social bonds you develop with your peers and seniors that stay with you throughout your career. IIM Rohtak has the best peer pool one could ask for.
  • Placements: Most of the new IIMs have similar placement statistics. But the uniqueness of IIM Rohtak lies in the fact that it is one of those very few colleges across the country, which follow IPRS standards and is audited by CRISIL, thus the authenticity of the report cannot be questioned.
  • Newly appointed director: The new director Prof Dheeraj Sharma has made fast-paced changes right from the beginning. He has sped up the construction work, hired new faculties, and launched a few new courses. 
  • Infrastructure: The campus is large and enthralling spread across 650 acres MDU campus with facilities such as a sports complex, swimming pool, Bloomberg lab etc.
  • Extracurriculars: Yearly events and summits are held to keep the students active and immersed in various co-curricular activities.

Overall, the ambiance at IIM Rohtak is very promising and I would choose it over any new IIM.

Is it worth it to go into 6 new IIMs (Ranchi, Rohtak, Raipur, Udaipur, Trichy & Kashipur) rather than going for an MS?

PS
Puneet Srivastava Posted On : January 5th, 2023
Selected in IIM-IPM'17

Before choosing a college, try to make sure what you are really interested in. If it is MS then don’t go for any IIM. This is because you can pursue an MBA later in life if MS did not work for you. But you will not get the chance to choose Ms after your MBA. Also since it’s your area of interest, chances are you might find your talents and may want to work on them.

Now if you are sure about the course but confused about the IIMs, I will give you my honest opinion. The new IIMs are enjoying fame and glory owing to the achievements of their predecessors alone. They haven’t done much to attain the level of older IIMs. These new IIMs are poorly organized. The faculty is below average, the infrastructure is substandard and the teaching is pathetic. Yet they are here to claim the coveted IIM tag.

So if you are someone for whom the tag of IIM and its high placement matters only, you can surely go for a new IIM. But if you value education over institutions then base your decision on research.

What are reviews of the PGDHRM program at IIM Ranchi?

GY
Gaurav Yadav Posted On : January 25th, 2023
Studied at the Indian Institute of Management Ranchi

There has been a lot of talk and misconceptions about whether the PGDHRM is as good as XLRI TISS or any other 'HR institute'. The PGDHRM stands out due to its unique curriculum and ideology. It is recognized that HR is not just about soft skills, and the course has been designed to be futuristic and not obsolete like some peer institutes.

  • The PGDHRM has several courses in quantitative analytics and HR analytics, taught by industrialists and professors from IIM A. These courses include lectures on IBM cognitive intelligence, tableau, statistical tool R, and SPSS.
  • One of the best parts of the PGDHRM is that it has visiting professors from top institutes such as IIM A, B, C, L, I, XLRI, TISS, and GIMS, as well as senior specialists from ILO and the former Economic Times’ chief editor.
  • The PGDHRM also has a special alliance with the Tata Steel Adventure Foundation, which offers a unique leadership experience. As part of this program, students had the opportunity to meet the first woman to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, Bachendri Pal.
  • Placement opportunities at the PGDHRM are reportedly higher than those at other institutes and are expected to increase in the coming years. However, the institute places a greater emphasis on instilling a curiosity to learn rather than acting as a placement shop.

While the campus infrastructure may need some improvement, the hostels at the National Games Complex are reportedly very nice. Ultimately, it is students' actions and what they learn that define them, not the physical campus or facilities.

Academic Coordinator at Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (2017-present)

My brother had his interview at IIM Ranchi last year for IPM. His 10th marks were 95% and 12th (PCB) marks stood at 78.4%. His interview was scheduled for the afternoon. He was welcomed by 2 male panelists who seemed quite comfortable and asked him if he had had lunch before appearing for the interview. Then they asked him the following questions 

  • 10/12th marks 
  • Favorite subject (PS: I said biology.)
  • Why did you choose IPM after having biology? How would these subjects complement you?
  • What is the difference between gray and white matter? (Brain)
  • What is the function of the vitreous humor, and where is it located?
  • What are the different enzymes secreted by the pancreas?
  • Name the smallest and largest bone in the human body. (Location as well)
  • State the “Second law of thermodynamics.”
  • Define E=mc^2
  • CM of your state. Any current official statement made by him.
  • What is your hobby? 

From the above list of questions, we can boldly say that the majority of the questions are aimed at testing your general knowledge. If you have a confident aura, you will easily win their favor.

Pro tip: You can direct the interview to a favorable topic by elaborating on any specific answer.

What is the percentile required to join IIM Ranchi?

SS
Surya Satya Posted On : January 11th, 2023
Indian institute of Management Ranchi, Class of '17

The admission process for the flagship course of IIM Ranchi is done through CAP (Common Admission Process), which is conducted by IIM Rohtak for 9 IIMs.

IIM Ranchi has released the admission policy and selection criteria for its flagship MBA course. The qualifying CAT cut-off for the batch of 2022-24 is 93 percentile as per IIM CAP criteria. IIM Ranchi CAT Cutoff usually remains around the 92 Percentile. For the past 2 years the CAT Cutoff was 94 Percentile but this year it has been reduced. 

However, the final shortlisting depends upon many parameters such as 

  • Your academic scores
  • Work experience
  • Personal Interview 
  • Written Ability Score.

 If you are shortlisted and do well in WAT and PI, you can surely get admission in IIM Ranchi.

IIM Ranchi also has a PGDHRM course, for which it conducts its separate admission rounds, so you can apply for that as well.

Which is better: IIM Ranchi or MDI Murshidabad?

AA
Aakriti Ahuja Posted On : January 20th, 2023
Analyst at DebriN Synergy (company) (2015–present)

When it comes to comparing IIM Ranchi and MDI Murshidabad, there are a few key factors to consider. In terms of brand value among IIMs, IIM Ranchi may be considered better. However, it's worth noting that the fees at MDI Murshidabad are lower than those at IIM Ranchi.

One important consideration is the infrastructure of the two institutes. MDI Murshidabad has its own campus and hostel facilities onsite, while IIM Ranchi does not have a campus. This may be a factor for students who prefer on-campus housing. Additionally, while IIM Ranchi is known for its HRM program, MDI Murshidabad may be considered better for other specializations. Ultimately, the decision between these two institutes will depend on the individual student's priorities and needs.
