Are the job profiles offered at MDI Gurgaon on par with IIMs like LIK, not ABC? How much effort does one have to put into his future to get on par with the IIM graduates if one graduate from there?
IIML is clearly superior to MDI in non-marketing specializations in terms of placement. However, IIM I, K, and MDI are generally equal in terms of placements, except for a few banks that specifically seek out the IIM tag at I&K. If you work equally hard at either campus and all other operational factors are constant, you will likely end up in a similar position whether you choose MDI or I or K. However, as mentioned before, IIML still has the edge and requires more effort if you're in the finance or consulting field.
If you're interested in MDI, it's worth noting that recent placement reports show more and more prestigious finance and consulting companies are visiting the campus. This has helped MDI deliver well-rounded placements. So, if you're willing to put in the work, MDI could be a good option for you.
Currently, my elder brother is placed at Cognizant as a senior business analyst at 14 Lakh CTC in IIM Kashipur. How much would he be earning in the next 5 years?
The IT industry today is flourishing and is facing a huge shortage. So he will definitely land a great job especially if he is a BBA/BCOM graduate.
Cognizant does not have very fast growth. So depending on his performance, and economic and academic background, he might witness growth between 2% to 10%. If he is an engineer from the IT stream, his growth will be faster.
In my personal opinion, his IT background does not make him suitable for IIM Kashipur or even Lucknow. An IT software engineer with 2 years of experience earns around 18 to 20 lakh.
How is your life after IMT Ghaziabad?
I know a friend who led a stagnant work life before joining IMT Ghaziabad. After completing his MBA from IMT Ghaziabad, he was offered a much higher salary. His profile did improve but then life challenged him with other problems. He worked as a BA in an American firm. After working for 2 years he finally switched to a Big 4 firm.
IMT Ghaziabad is an old Institute and one’s career prospects depend more on their own motivation and determination here. If you are serious about succeeding you can make the best of the 2 years here and get good roles.
I have seen many students able to get placed because they belonged to the lowest level in class and many same students who were mediocre in studies but managed to grab good roles. So luck is another factor that determines your prospects.
Most of the IMT Ghaziabad alumni I Know are doing great in their careers and belong to the topmost level of their organizations. INT Ghaziabad has impacted the lives of many and its alumni are a living example of the same.
Should I join Accenture or IIM Raipur?
Your question basically means whether you should gain experience or pursue MBA from IIM Raipur. In my opinion, joining IIM Raipur is the right choice because
- You have cleared CAT and got selected. This might never happen in the future again due to the unpredictable nature of CAT. So don’t lose this opportunity.
- Joining Raipur right now is almost similar to going for a better B school 2 years later as Raipur might be flourishing till then.
- Even if you work and join IIM Raipur later, your disinterest in the job might be reflected in your interview thus becoming a negative impact on the panelists.
The fear of joining a new IIM is common as one is investing huge amounts of money. But you need to remember that every new IIM becomes an old IIM one day.

What is the expected ROI from IIM-Lucknow, other than networking and brand?
Don’t let people mislead you into believing that ROU is just a materialistic element and does not have much value. Once you are out of B-school you just want to have a financially stable life. The fees you have invested are much more than just fees. It is the skills, time, and foregone salaries of 2 years.
The jobs you land out of a B School are based on your past performance, especially during summer placements. In fact, many high-paying jobs in the B-school placement reports are Summer Internship PPOs.
IIM Lucknow is an outstanding institute considering the ROI aspect. Don’t let yourself into the delusion that MBA is for learning and not for money. If that were the case you would be better off doing a Ph.D. rather than a job.
Should I join IIM Bangalore or take a job at Ernst Young as an Associate Consultant?
- Low Engineering CGPA - You should talk to IIM Bangalore graduates with similar profiles and ask if they have any problems as a result.
- Give CAT next year - While many people maintain high percentiles year after year, there are some who drop from 99 to 98. You never know what will happen the following year. It doesn't get any better than this for you, because IIM ABC is in the same league.
- You can take Ernst Young now as an Associate Consultant and after 3-4 years, do an MBA from Harvard or Stanford.
- You can also stick with Ernst Young and then advance your career in the consulting field from there.
