Is it worth to join in IIM Nagpur? How far it is comparable with old IIMs? How about ROI there
Let’s compare IIM Nagpur with the older IIMs generally. IIM Nagpur lacks in the following aspects
- Permanent Campus
- Permanent faculty
- Good number and standard of peers
But what’s amazing is that these shortcomings don’t bring down their worth even a bit. It has more merits than demerits. Some include
- IIM Ahmedabad’s mentorship brings in the best faculties and helps maintain a learning environment.
- Various industry interaction programs are held to inculcate management skills and live experiences
- It enjoys a good location advantage as it attracts companies from around the country
- The Foreign Exchange Program provides excellent exposure to the international corporate world
- Lower fees compared to other IIMs
- The hostel and infrastructure facility are at par with that of other IIMs.
Coming to the ROI, IIM Nagpur definitely excels at this one. This is because its fees are lower than other IIMs while the packages offered are almost similar. At the end of the day what matters is that despite being a new IIM it has grown leaps and bounds and it is expected to do more in the future.
How much does the Work experience, test score, other factors matter for admission in PGDBA course hosted by universities IIT Kgp, IIM C , ISI Kolkata?
The section-wise weightage for final PGDBA shortlisting is not revealed by these colleges. They analyze all these aspects and a candidate’s interview when putting out the final offer. The interview helps them assess what a candidate brings to the table. Even if they start announcing the section-wise weightages some day, that should not affect your test preparation. Your work experience and past academic record are unchangeable factors, but your entrance test score is in your hands.
Study for the entrance exam with utmost sincerity, and stop worrying about other aspects of your profile that you can not change.

IIM Calcutta is among the top B Schools in the customized executive education category globally. It offers 2 executive programs - PGP-Ex or Post Graduate Programs for Executive, and
PGP-Ex-VLM or PGP-Ex for Visionary Leadership in Manufacturing.
Factors considered in the selection process include:

-
Personal interview
Now let’s have a glimpse of both courses individually.
PGPEX:

1-year full-time program
-
It is for Industry Executives who have worked for more than five years in the industry.
-
The program helps people stuck in the middle of their careers to upgrade their management skills and climb the ladder to top management roles.
-
You require a Bachelor's degree to join the program.
PGPEX-VLM:
-
1-year full time program
-
It focuses on the manufacturing industry
-
Co-run by IIM Calcutta, IIT Kanpur, and IIT Madras
-
You require an engineering degree and a minimum of four and a half-year of work experience in manufacturing, engineering, and related sectors.

Is it justified for IIM Calcutta to increase fees from 22 lakhs to 27 lakhs for its one year MBA course when average placement salaries are less than 30 lakhs?
In today’s age, providing education has become more and more expensive. But it does not end there. Providing a good educational environment and experience has also become more and more challenging. IIM Calcutta’s decision to increase its fees is somewhat justified.
Some points that support my opinion are
-
After the experience of an MBA from IIM Calcutta your salary almost doubles.
-
You can change the line of your profession and get the role you had dreamt of.
-
The average salary after such a program would actually be lesser- say 25 Lakhs CTC.
-
Since it is a 1-year program, you get to work in the second year.
Investing in an MBA course at IIM Calcutta is surely a worthwhile investment. You won’t regret this decision and its value will stay with you forever.
Is XLRI Jamshedpur at par with the top 3 IIMS (A,B,C)?
XLRI is a prestigious B-school in India and is consistently ranked among the top business schools in the country. In 2022, its NIRF ranking was 8th, behind BLACKI and IIT Delhi. You should keep in mind that the criteria for these rankings may be different from what a student actually considers while selecting his preference.
Many consider it to be on par with the three renowned IIMs (A, B, C). XLRI's HR course is highly regarded. It has a batch strength of 177, ensuring a better student-to-faculty ratio, which is seen as an advantage over the IIMs. So while people’s perception may be that IIMs are better, the industry doesn’t consider it to be very far off.
