Why are IIM A, B, and C valued over FMS, Delhi when the difference between the fees are so high?

It is true that a person’s caliber can in no way be judged from the Business School that they have graduated from. In practice, however, things work very differently. The general assumption is that if a candidate has secured a top rank in one of the most challenging exams and studied one of the top curriculums in the country, then they are really good in their field. IIM A, B, and C have been around for a very long time and its graduates have carved a niche for themselves in the corporate world. Most companies in India and many abroad have IIM A, B, and C graduates in top positions. The alumni spread the goodwill of these institutions in silicon valley and other parts of the world, leading to international repute. These institutions are ‘brands’. An IIM A, B, and C brand opens numerous opportunities for you. Judging IIMs based on ROI solely is not wise. Most IIM graduates end up paying their loans in a period of 3 to 5 years. Also, keep in mind that salary does not remain constant, it keeps increasing each year. Even if you take a loan to fund your MBA, it will be worth it. If you get the opportunity to study at IIM A, B, or C you should grab it at the earliest.

Why is IIM Bangalore not rated as highly as IIM Calcutta? Why doesn't it have any notable alumni like IIM Ahmedabad and Calcutta? Is it worth the money?

In terms of NIRF 2023 Management Rankings, IIM Bangalore ranked higher than IIM Calcutta. Even in the FT Global rankings 2023 for MBA, IIM Bangalore ranked 52, whereas IIM Calcutta ranked 76. The alumni of IIM Bangalore are more into research and academia.IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta were open to private-sector jobs since their establishment. IIM Bangalore, on the other hand, was established to produce public sector managers. It was opened for private sector jobs in the late 1990s. IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta had a headstart there which is why they have a greater number of notable alumni in the private sector. Even then, IIM Bangalore does have a good number of alumni in the private sector. IIM Bangalore is an institution of global recognition and repute. It will offer you all the opportunities and necessary guidance to become successful in your career.

How would you rank the following business schools, ISB, IIM A, B, C, L, XLRI, FMS, and SPJIMR?

All the aforementioned colleges are among the best B Schools in India so the choice between them depends on your preference and future prospects. You need to determine what exactly you want from the program and where your career currently is. In general, ISB is for people who have better industry experience, good leadership skills and decent academics. The other B Schools focus more on excellent academics throughout your career. The ranking of these institutes in my opinion is ISB, IIM-A, B, C>IIM-L, FMS, XLRI,>SPJIMR The above preference order is based on a number of factors like career progression, college market value perception, quality of faculty, quality of students, academic learning, quality of recruiters and infrastructure.

Which is the best among IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore and IIM Calcutta for finance?

IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta, all three are good choices for Finance and Consulting roles. If you get a single convert from among the three, you should grab the opportunity at the earliest. If you have more than one convert, you should choose the institution that best suits you. You can decide based on location and other such factors. All three are at par for finance. Even IIM Lucknow is doing well and has a strong alumni base now. Thus, you can go for any of the three IIMs for finance as all are top-ranked institutions.

Fees is quite high and has been continuously increasing
Location is quite far away from main Kolkata which has both positives and negatives.

Internships Opportunities:

I worked at Adani Group for the internship in the finance domain. Most of the companies for the 56th batch offered internship with stipend above one lac per month. The domains include consulting, finance, product, general management etc.

Faculty Expertise and Support: Professors are renowned experts in their fields
Vibrant Campus Life: The campus is lively and full of opportunities for extracurricular activities and social interaction

he student body is highly competitive, which can be motivating but also lead to pressure and anxiety.
Limited Work-Life Balance

The Career Developement and Placement office provides more than enough oppotunities for summer internships ranging from private equity firms to leadership programs. I bagged a marketing internship. The summer internship preparations and selection process is very rigorous.

IIM Calcutta: Has its pros and cons but you will have the 2 most amazing years of your life!

3.8Helpful

Campus Life was a key highlight of the MBA experience: There are multiple activities happening at once, the ability to explore so many different things is definitely one of the best parts
Interactions with peers and faculty: You will find some of the smartest people here, with a wide range of experiences and interests. It is really interesting to learn and pick up new things from your peers, courses and teachers

Mess food: Quality was sub-par some of the hostel messes, there were mechanisms to register complaints but the resolution time was too high
Infrastructure: It is one of the oldest MBA colleges therefore infrastructure especially for the hostels is not as expected

Placement Experience:

Summer internships take place in the 2nd trimester and the final placements take place between the 5th and 6th trimester. The college has 100% placements - all students get placed through the official placements. Around 30-40% get a PPO in the summer and the remaining get placed during the final placements. Companies come in all sectors including finance, consulting, marketing, general management and operations. Around 25% of the batch gets placed in consulting companies - top tier firms including consulting: Mckinsey, Bain, BCG; Finance: BoFA, HSBC, Barclays; Marketing: P&G, HUL, Gen Management: TAS, ABG come to campus. The highest package is around 1 crore and the average package is around 28-30 Lakhs Apart from IIM A we are the only college to provide a dream policy - under which people can sit for companies even after receiving a PPO because of which there were around 500+ offers were made for a batch of 480 students

IIM C: The best MBA experience India has to offer

Campus life and peer group: the chillest IIM, freedom to live life the way you want, a very talented peer group to learn from
Placements: The best across India with space to explore every sector

Hostels: extremely disappointing given the kind of institute IIM C is
Administration: extremely ignorant of problems faced by the student body, stubborn, and resistant to positive change

All top companies from all sectors come for internships. Average stipends hover around the 1.4L mark. Projects given during the period are industry specific and ensure a learning experience for all students.

A comprehensive look at IIM Calcutta

4.3Helpful

Peer Group: As with any B school competitiveness is ingrained into every batch but when folks say that no one is left behind at Joka it is reassuring to know that it is not entirely said for posterity
Campus Culture: A culture which actually focuses on exploring interests and interacting with others over simple academic excellence was both unexpected and welcome.

Hostel Infrastructure: With the exception of LVH each hostel has small rooms and no accommodations for the extremely humid weather. The infra is ancient and liveable is the kindest word that I can use for it.
Placement transparency: With the concentration of power in the hands of place comm. it is very easy to feel like the placement process is not entirely fair for all. There are little to no checks for favouritism too.

Most internships you'll find during your placements here fall under these domains: - Consulting (management, strategy, financial etc.) - Finance (Investment banking, PEVC, Corporate finance etc.) - Sales and marketing (FMCG, B2B etc.) -Operations -Product management -General Management Each firm will have its own internship program most of which have been running for years if not decades. There is little to nothing common between internships other than the fact that they all happen over the summer for approximately 2 months. You can look up the summer placement reports whicha re available online for details on stipends.

Peer to peer interaction and working in small teams
Various clubs to keep the students engaged

Due to COVID face to face interaction was minimised
Program fees is at the higher end and should be reduced

There is 100% placement for the program. All students are placed at the end of the curriculum. PPI / PPO rate stands around 70% for this particular program. Some students opt out of the placement process mostly due to entrepreneurship/startup ventures.
