I had always wanted to pursue education which would be a mix of technical aspects as well as managerial skills. I have gained technical expertise through my undergraduate and for managerial skills I chose to pursue MBA. At IIM Calcutta, the faculty-to-student ratio is around 1:200 and hence the learning experience is really nice. The faculty is well-versed in their respective subjects with theoretical as well as real-world knowledge.

Our course consists of all managerial subjects, and I am a finance geek person. IIM C is known for finance, so I chose this course. the faculty: student ratio is around 1:8. This is the ratio with permanent faculty members available on campus. Apart from this, we have many visiting faculties with good industry knowledge and from top companies.

According to the Financial Times MBA ranking, the one-year PGPEX MBA programme is among the top ones worldwide. This programme is ideal for middle managers with at least 5 years of experience who want to advance their careers as business leaders.
The programme, which has the distinction of being one of the best MBA programmes in the country, not only transforms your worldview but also prepares you to be a responsible leader. This MBA programme is ranked among the top ten in the world for career advancement and one of the best in terms of return on investment.
However, only a small number of candidates are admitted to the class. To be selected, candidates must have a high GMAT, strong academic records, and a successful career history. People in the PGPEX class have worked in various parts of the world and in various domains. It is not surprising if your class project team includes a doctor, an army captain, an entrepreneur, and a bureaucrat. In the classroom, diversity is essential. Prospects for post-program employment are also promising.
Placements at IIM Calcutta are modified versions of the Stanford Prison Experiment that involve less physical abuse but ruthless psychological torture. And it is past time that CAT aspirants and the general public were made aware of this. It is also an attempt to raise awareness among the Institute's Board of Governors, faculty, and other stakeholders. It also reflects utter dissatisfaction with IIM-C Alumni who graduated in recent years and failed to take any action or stand up for what is right, despite knowing what goes on here.
Yes, the Placement Committee members were recently subjected to a Non-Confidence Motion because a majority of final-year MBAs finally took a stand against the oppressive regime. If you fail to attend company PPTs or a Wing mate fails to attend due to illness, your entire wing will be barred from at least three companies. Unless you're a friend or a beloved, of course. Nobody holds PlaceCom accountable.
Each of these IIMs has developed its unique personality over the years, and each one has its own strengths and weaknesses.
IIMB intakes people with good and relevant work experience, IIMA seeks a good academic record and a bit of humbleness in a candidate, and IIMC looks for strong analytical skills (it has the highest CAT cutoffs).
During placements, companies that want experienced professionals prefer IIMB, IIMA is visited by companies because of its strong alumni list, and IIMC is preferred by the Banking Sector because of the perception that its students are more quantitatively oriented.
The three of them receive almost the same companies during placements. So for a candidate seeking good career opportunities in a certain field, all three IIMs are equally good. It is just that each one has a certain image associated with its brand, and ranks accordingly in the preference lists of recruiters.
The following review is based on personal experience with my sister who got enrolled in the current batch.
The following points will surely change your mind regarding the executive diploma in digital marketing at IIM Calcutta:
Quality of the batch is extremely poor. It is more like a money making program than a knowledge imparting one.
The fee for this program is exceptionally high. The course is priced at 3,28,000 for just 6 months. Whereas digital marketing institutes offer better courses at fees as low as INR 5000.
The quality of the curriculum is below average. Rather than focusing on the main topic they are stuck to age old basic concepts of traditional marketing.
No placement assistance is there for this programme.
Lastly, this certification adds no value to your CV.
Don’t go for this program. The time and money are not worth investing in. Rather go for digital marketing institutes where industry experts will teach you better skills at low fees and less duration.
In comparison to the IIMs, FMS retains the advantages of small batch size and a fee structure that is relatively low. The small batch size simplifies placements significantly. With the exception of a few foreign consultancies, most of the top companies that visit the IIMs also visit FMS. Despite all of the university's bureaucracy, etc., there is a well-established alumni network that still ensures that things work out for the current batches.
Because of the small batch size, people are extremely competitive. This was in stark contrast to what you hear about the IIMs. Even though they have competition but they maintain some semblance of sanity due to the large batch. FMS can be difficult to manage at times, both in obvious behaviours and subtle actions by people you study with.
The culture at FMS is influenced by the culture of Delhi. In comparison, IIMs are unquestionably more cosmopolitan. Unless you have prior exposure, adjusting to a new environment can be difficult for people from very different cultures, such as the South or East. Otherwise, you'll have to learn to adjust the hard way. But it's still worth the effort. The people you meet in both locations are of the highest calibre. It is up to you to make the best of the situation.
Even if given the chance, there's no way one would like to trade places with the IIMs.
Fellow programs in Public Policy are available at IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta.
IIM B is the most popular of India's three IIMs for Public Policy. The PPM Program is a multidisciplinary group of active researchers and teachers from a variety of social science backgrounds. High-quality academic research, teaching, and consulting for policy analysis and program evaluation are used to address challenges in policy innovation, governance for the delivery of public services, the relationship between government and industry, social policy, and legal and regulatory issues.
The key to gaining knowledge is social learning, which can best develop through grounded interactions with others at conferences and seminars. Seminars and events, in addition to assisting participants in gaining deeper insights into the subject under discussion, also aid in the resolution of professional problems.
PGCGM is an excellent course if you want an IIM certification but don't want to leave your job. The learning is the same, and the faculty is the same; the only difference is that this is taught in a virtual online classroom rather than you sitting in a classroom in Calcutta. It also includes three campus visits, so you can get a feel for the campus.
Most people struggle to get into an IIM, and the PGCGM course costs 3.5 lakh versus 31 lakh for ISB's PGP Pro course.
It's challenging to determine which is a better option an MBA from the University of Melbourne or a PGDM from IIM Calcutta. There isn’t any exact answer as it depends on a variety of factors, like your career goals, the type of MBA you are interested in, and the specific programs offered by the two schools. Both the University of Melbourne and IIM Calcutta offer excellent MBA programs. However, both programs have their own unique strengths and weaknesses.
Ultimately, make sure that the program you choose aligns with your career goals.
Any course offered by an institute like IIM Calcutta is guaranteed to be of the highest quality and have significant industry relevance. Instead of this course, it is recommended that you take the CAT and then enroll in the flagship PGDM program at IIM Calcutta. That would be entirely consistent with your desire to work in investment banking.
The recent financial crisis was largely caused by managers' inability to fully comprehend and manage the operational risks of the new generation of derivatives. Future finance managers, it is believed, must be fully equipped with the mathematical and conceptual theories, as well as best practices, that go into the creation and management of such innovative products.
The IIMC faculty combines academic excellence with top management industry experience. IIMC also hires international faculty from top business schools. The IIMC certification and alumni network help participants advance in their careers. The program is only for working professionals, and there will be no campus placement after this course.
