IISWBM: 7 Answered Questions

What is the average package offered at IISWBM for MBA stream?

Shweta DebIISWBM Kolkata

The average salary package for MBA graduates at IISWBM in 2021 was in the range of Rs. 9-10 lakhs per annum. The average salary package offered to MBA students can vary from year to year. It may depend on various factors, including the industry, the student's specialization, their academic performance, and the overall economic conditions at the time of placement.

IISWBM has experienced a boom in placement over the past few years. In this year all industries saw a placement rate of 96% overall. The institute also provides summer internship possibilities in addition to placement. Doing practice interviews gives students preparation for placements.

The companies that often visit for recruitment are TATA, Aditya Birla Group Reliance Industries Limited, Deloitte, EY, PWC, Hindustan Unilever Limited, HSBC, Asian Paints, and HDFC Bank.

The placement details are mentioned below:

Particulars	NIT Srinagar
Highest Salary 2023	INR 18 LPA
Average Salary 2023	INR 9-10 LPA
Top recruiters	TATA, Aditya Birla Group Reliance Industries Limited, Deloitte

So, the average package offered for an MBA in IISWBM Kolkata is significantly lower than your expectations or industry standards, it's indeed a crucial factor to consider when deciding on pursuing the program at that institution. A low average package can have implications for your return on investment (ROI) and your overall career prospects.

Is IISWBM a college worth studying?

Arnav RoyLives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

Anonymous reviews should not be the basis for deciding on a B-school admission. Instead, potential students should use LinkedIn to connect with alumni and current students, check Collegedunia for genuine reviews given by bonafide students, and talk personally with alumni and current students to get real reviews of an institution.

IISWBM is the only college that comes after IIMC, and the University of Calcutta is very strict with its marking scheme, ensuring that students receive in-depth study. IISWBM professors are competent in delivering lectures and 90% of the faculty members are student-friendly.

Some companies come year after year to recruit students from IISWBM, and it has the highest alumni base of all B-schools in India. Every alumnus is skewed toward the institution. The campus placement decisions are taken by senior managers, who are often alumni themselves.

MBA (Day) and MBA (HR) packages range from 5 to 6.5 LPA, which is good considering the fees of Rs. 6,00,000. If a student can perform well and be in the top 10 performers list, they can expect a salary of 8 to 9 LPA.

How is the MBA PS in IISWBM? Is it worth it?

Shweta DebIISWBM Kolkata

The Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business Management (IISWBM) in Kolkata, India, offers a good MBA program for Indian business students.

The MBA PS (MBA in Public Systems) program emphasizes public administration and management in government and non-profit organizations. The public policy, finance, and human resource management program prepares students for public sector professions.

Your aims and circumstances will determine whether the IISWBM MBA PS program is worth it. Before choosing, evaluate the cost, program, faculty, and career prospects. To find out if the program is right for you, talk to current or previous students, investigate it online, and attend information sessions or events.

Is it worth doing an MBA IISWBM in Business Analytics?

Shweta DebIISWBM Kolkata

If you are thinking to pursue MBA in Business Analytics from IISWBM, go through the pros and cons of the college first.

Pros:

Business analytics is a fast-growing subject that needs competent workers.
IISWBM's Business Analytics MBA is well-regarded. Students learn business analytics skills throughout the course. Business Analytics experts teach the course at the institution.
The program gives you real-world datasets and analytical tools to practice.

Cons:

IISWBM's MBA in Business Analytics program costs more than others.
To succeed, you need a solid quantitative background and a passion for data analytics.

Will I get a call from IISWBM Kolkata with overall 55 percentile in CAT?

Shweta DebIISWBM Kolkata

The official statistics provided by IISWBM Kolkata indicate that the cutoff percentile for the CAT is often between 70 and 75 percentile.

It is crucial to remember that there are other considerations for admission to IISWBM Kolkata in addition to the CAT score. Academic credentials, professional experience, and performance in the Group Discussion and Personal Interview stages are just a few of the many considerations the institute takes into account.

So, even though getting a call from IISWBM Kolkata may be difficult with an overall CAT percentile of 55, it is not impossible. It is also crucial to keep in mind that receiving a call from the institute does not ensure admission, as the final decision is dependent on a number of variables.

I would advise you to concentrate on your entire profile, which includes your educational background, professional experience, and extracurricular pursuits. A great profile might make up for a poor CAT score and improve your likelihood of being contacted by IISWBM Kolkata.

What is the good choice for doing MBA/PGDM in between IISWBM & PIBM?

Anusha SircarStudied at FTII Pune, (2019)

It might not be appropriate to compare colleges, as you should have faith in your skills and improve yourself to get into the college you desire.

One of my sisters studied at PIBM, so I might be able to share some facts about PIBM. But as I do not have any information about IISWBM, I suggest you connect with the students studying there and check out their reviews about the college and then finally decide which one to join.

PIBM as a college is more inclined towards imparting practical knowledge. Activities like internships, seminars, industry visits, mock interviews, live projects, aptitude tests, etc.
They encourage personality development and train students to face interviews.
PIBM stands out due to the hard work, they put in the students.
The faculties are well experienced and ready to guide students. This student-teacher relationship is the stronghold of PIBM.

It is suggested you review both the colleges before settling on a decision. As the branch you select will shape your career ahead and a good college can provide you with the extra push.

Categories	IISWBM	PIBM
Course Fee	6 lakh	7.95 lakh
Highest CTC	10-15 LPA	12 LPA
Average CTC	5 LPA	6.5 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Flipkart, Tata, Dell, Crisil, etc.	TCS, Accenture, KPMG, Berger, etc.

How good is IISWBM situated in Kolkata?

Tithi ChatterjeeStudied at Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology,Nagpur (2019)

My friend is currently studying in IISWBM, and according to his experience here are some crucial points you might need to consider to get a view:

IISWBM is an old B-school, but it used to be good only till 2010. After 2010, due to politics, the college has degraded from a Tier-2 B-school to a Tier-3 B-school.
In the current scenario, the bars are set very high with big competitors like IMI Kolkata and MDI Murshidabad. IMI Kolkata pedagogy is superb and industry inclined with their brand name so they started giving much better exposure and placements. And the placement at MDI Murshidabad is so good that even We School Mumbai, Lal Bahadur Sastri Institute of Mngt Studies can’t give.
IISWBM highly depends on IMRB Kantar and ICICI Bank for placements, and if they stop coming in the future the placement will be hardly 30%. PwC India and KPMG used to visit IISWBM but discontinued after 2015. Citi Bank ,IDFC, Infosys, EY, Deloitte, Standard Chartered, Nomura FinTech stopped coming to IISWBM since long back.
The curriculum at IISWBM is very outdated and keeps going on with no improvement and modernization. Even the semester results are never on time.
Never believe in their placement records as they will not show the pathetic condition they are in right now ( Currently hiding their Retail and Sports Department placement report), soon they may stop displaying their MBA placement reports too if this goes on.

At the end of the day, it is highly recommended to avoid joining IISWBM.
