sai: IMI>TAPMI>KJS in that order. Go for IMI

shal: i want to know about nmims pharma management. its highest package nd average package.
sai: Visit their website for details on the placement. the placement is decent but eventually placement at any B-School including the IIMs would depend on your performance in the course more than anything else

shibhu: how important is work experience in the context of CAT?
sai: Calls are given on the basis of your percentile and not on the basis of whether you are working or not.

puneet: sir please clarify when you said to be in top 30% for good placements at IMT nagpur.please specify the amount.would it suffice to repay the loan value of Rs. 8 lakh please reply
sai: That no one in the world can give a guarantee for. Can you predict as to what you will get after MBA as on today? We can hope for the best but there can be no guarantees. when I said top 30% i meant the top 30% of your batch in terms of your rank on the course.

jai: bharath sir but imt-g HR program is very expansive than other normal program at imt-g so is it worth to join there or take BIM as it is little cheaper than imt-g
bharat: when you say little cheaper, you are missing some imp things - IMT has better reputation (what you may call "brand value"), offers quality of education... and yes, better placement opps.

neha: with 154 cudnt i get jb?
sai: NO

pakhi: Sir, I have got a final call from PGDM in BIMTECH, Noida (where I would most probably choose marketing as my majors and operations as minor specializations) and PGDM (HR) in IMT-Nagpur.
