Where shall I pursue my MBA, Welingkar Mumbai or IIM Jammu?

AJ
Arshit Jain Posted On : January 11th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Jammu (Graduated 2019)

You should pursue an MBA at IIM Jammu. Your decision in this case should be influenced by the IIM's strong reputation for quality and the respect you receive from those around you. The following are the reasons behind the same:

  • Money is always a motivator for candidates to pursue their dreams, allowing them to dream bigger. In both institutes, the package is nearly identical. It can vary, but if you are an intelligent candidate in both institutes, you can safely assume more than the 10LPA package.
  • If not for a better package, it could be for learning business models, getting structured thought processes, starting your own business, or making the right business connections.
  • IIM Jammu has strong ties with all HR professionals in the industry. It holds a variety of events at the institute on a regular basis. Students may participate in community activities. 
  • It has also partnered with Entrepreneurship cells and top business people in J&K to connect you with the right people. You have a fantastic library, a fantastic curriculum, and, of course, a fantastic environment in which to feel happy and positively imbibe what you are taught and experienced into your brain and heart.

Without a doubt, IIM Jammu is a perfect platform for one to enjoy and live in a very peaceful and aesthetic place, with nice people around you, while maintaining professionalism. It has a cultural festival, a sports festival, numerous fun events, celebrations, and so on that, you will remember for the rest of your life.

What is the career after a PGDM from Goa Institute of Management?

HS
Harita Sama Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
MBA Marketing & Human Resources, Goa Institute of Management (2021)

The career prospects once you complete your PGDM from Goa Institute of Management depend largely on your specialization and the plethora of opportunities available. The overall placement has been decent but specialization-wise, there are continuous changes.

GIM is generally considered to be an average B School that does not even make it to the top 20. But its alumni have proven otherwise by achieving more than a top B School graduate. But this wasn’t a cakewalk and required a lot of determination and passion.

The career prospects are subjective and can be determined solely on your performance, specialization, and your determination. It’s not the same for all as GIM is not a top B School. You will have to pave your own way to success.

Apart from XLRI, TISS, SCMHRD, SIBM, etc., which IIMS can one prefer for good HR placements?

AD
Anumita Dasgupta Posted On : May 25th, 2022
PGDM from Indian Institute of Management Kashipur (2018)

IIM Ranchi has a good HRM program among the IIM. IIM Kozhikode also has a great HR faculty. But most IIMs don’t have well-designed HRM courses. Also, very few recruiting companies offer HR job roles at the placement drive of IIMs. Usually, most companies prefer students from XLRI, TISS, SIBM, SCMHRD, etc. for HR job roles.

Which is better for an MBA, IIM Amritsar or IIT Roorkee?

A
Amit Posted On : July 3rd, 2024
Student at IIT Roorkee

IIT Roorkee is a better option for an MBA. It is not just the IIM tag that one should consider while choosing a business school. There are various factors like the establishment year of an institute, course fee, location, placement scenario, faculty, infrastructure, alumni network, etc. that must be considered during the selection. 

IIT Roorkee is a well-established institution with a long history of excellence. Its Department of Management Studies (DoMS) has been functioning since 1998. On the other hand, IIM Amritsar is one of the newer IIMs in India, having been established in 2015. 

Here are the MBA placement statistics of both DoMS (IIT Roorkee) and IIM Amritsar for 2023:

PARTICULARS (DoMS) IIT ROORKEE IIM AMRITSAR
Number of Recruiters 50+ 110+
Total number of students 69 212
Highest CTC INR 25.8 LPA INR 25.21 LPA
Average CTC INR 16.8 LPA INR 14.63 LPA
Median CTC INR 18 LPA INR 13.54 LPA
Top Recruiters Deloitte, EY, Paytm, ICICI Bank, Vedanta, Infosys, etc. Accenture, Cognizant, Dell, Deloitte, Genpact, and others.

IIT Roorkee offers good placements, but more than that, it provides a rich academic environment to its students. The students of DoMS don’t just interact with each other, but also with the students of other departments like engineering. This enhances their understanding of things, and helps in the exchange of diverse perspectives. 

IIT Roorkee is much older to IIM Amritsar, which is why it offers a rich alumni network and a strong brand name. 

Because of these reasons, I would recommend you choose IIT Roorkee over IIM Amritsar for an MBA.

What are the prospects of doing an MBA in tourism and hospitality from IIM Sirmaur? How would it compare with core MBA courses from other private AA and A grade MBA institutes?

SS
Surya Pal Singh Posted On : January 19th, 2023
Programmer Analyst (2021–present)

Both the courses give an edge to each other and cannot be compared. MBA T and HM are specialized courses that should be taken only if you are inclined toward the field. It helps you to establish a career and knowledge of the Tourism and Hospitality industry. 

The 2-year MBA flagship course has been standing for more than 2 years and therefore its curriculum cannot be compared to that of these recently launched courses. Some perks of these courses are 

  • Become a part of the legacy.
  • Learn how to build everything from scratch by founding or becoming part of clubs and committees.
  • International Job opportunities 
  • Himachal is famous for its tourism because of its beautiful landscapes. The tourism sector of Himachal Pradesh contributes 7% to the state GDP.
  • You can contribute to promoting Tourism, increasing its capacities to serve foreigners while remaining settled in your hometown.

So this course is very beneficial for people who have a keen interest in tourism.
