asim : IMT Hyd as it offers a better brand recall value

ajinkya123 : got a call from imt-hyd,.is it worth joining there,. i hv no othr cals,.got 77.84 percentile in cat

sgaurav : sir, i have got final admission offer for KIAMS HARIHAR and IMT HYDERABAD , WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE
asim : IMT Hyd as it offers a better brand recall value

kannan : I was waitlisted at rank 144( Open category), 1st waiting list in SIBM bangalore's 1st round results. Merit list was announced on 14th march. SIBM bangalore had asked selected candidates( 150 ) to send confirmation mail by 18th march. But almost all have declined and I have been offered seat despite having Rank 144 in WL. It confirms that atleast 143 did not join.I would ask you whether you would still rate the institute highly after this. Please suggest as I have got a call from SIOM.
satyaprakash : First of all, are you really interested in Operations Management or not ? If yes, then go to SIOM. And second of all, you don't know why the other candidates didn't join. Don't jump to conclusions based on that. But, SIBM Bangalore is not a college I would recommend unless you have no other choice and no time to spare.

777777777777777 : sir who is better KIAMSPUNE,KIAMSHARIHAR,MIT PUNE,INDRA,IBS MUMBAI,PIBMPUNE
srinivas : KIAMS harihar is better

ipe : 10th 81.3%, 12th 83% , btech 62%(2012 passed out), mat 87% with 663 composite score SELECTED FOR IPE IN PGDM PROGRAM IS IT WORTH TO JOIN OR CONSIDER OTHER COLLEGES THAT I APPLIED FOR PSG,CHRIST,ITM,GLIM
asim : Since you are a fresher, you can think of preparing hard for CAT-2012 with an aim at IIMs and other TOP 20 B-Schools instead of joining IPE/ITM/CHRSIT.

pk : Can you please rank these - XIMB,NMIMS(core),IIT Delhi,IMT-G ?

catstd11 : CMAT SCORE 201 RANK -3309 X-85% XII-74% CAN I GET A CALL FROM WE SCHOOL

gautam : NM>SDMIMD>ITM

dsh : Murty sir TIME rate bimtech in bbb category and i hv converted it, but it is facing placement problem according to students there which has put me in dilemma...plz guide
saikumar : Placements are a function of the economy and as such cannot be guaranteed....In a slowdown even the graduates from the IIMs have found placements to be difficult. AS long as you study well on the MBA course and stay in the Top 20% of the batch you will certainly get placed.

kunal : sir i have got 91 percetile in MAT ..which 5 top college i can apply

saikumar : Yes it is......mind you this is the average salary and its quite possible that the lower end salaries are around 2-3 lacs per annum

kannan : sibm bangalore or SIOM nashik ?
gautam : If is general management that you are looking for then SIBM

asim : WE-Bangalore for their flagship program

krati : Hello..Presently I am working in IT company having package 3.3LPA. I have got a call only from SCIT. Could you please suggest whether it will be fine to join or not.
gautam : If this is your first attempt then I would suggest that you go for second try next year.

darpang : SAIKUMAR SIR, KJ SOMAIYA IS INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS..
saikumar : Then it is 80

anju : so there wont be any more mat exams n only cat n cmat??
asim : Its not certain, we need to wait for more clarity in this matter.

rock : @ Saikumar sir....even if the fees of IMT dubai is on the higher side, is it gud option considering ROI? how r its placements?
saikumar : ROI will depend on how you study in the 2yr course and how you rank within the institute.....Since that cannot be predicted ROI cannot be reliably predicted for any institute including the IIMs

rajesh : amrita-coimbatore avg salary package is 5.5 and kiams- harihars is 4.5 i got final cals from these two colleges which one to go? pls sir
tssmurty : Already answered. Please check.

asim : ITM-Navi MUmbai and SIES-Mumbai

dsh : Thanks mr saikumar... :) your words will help.. and BIMTECH is good college for industry exposure and skill development isn't it??
saikumar : BIMTECH is a very good insti but dont expect to have a very high placement figure or a guaranteed placement....If you are amongst the top20% of the batch you can have a very good placement and this is true of most B-Schools

subh : Sir how is indira group of institutes? Sir plz reply
gautam : It is a decent place. But it depends on what else you have in hand. Decisions such as these (taking admission) are made on what you have to let go to accept admission in a college.

rock : @ saikumar sir... I made it IMT hyd PGDM(Finance) and also IMT dubai campus....so if fees is not an issue, which is better?
saikumar : IMT Dubai will give you a very good experience....IMT Hyd is a new campus and will face teething troubles for the first 2-3 years....I would recommend IMT Dubai if fees is not an issue

aabbcc : Hi..i have a diff query, currently i m working with MNC(30 months work ex). I have offer from BIMTECH, Noida(Retail Management) and IMT-Nagpur(Finance)? Should i comtinue with job or should i join MBA? What is the avg package for both the institutes?
asim : Continue with your job and take another shot at CAT/Other exams with an aim at IIMs and other TOP 20 B-Schools,best wishes.

tssmurty : If you are thinking about an MBA seriously, start your prep. immediately. Simultaneously you can take the PO test also. Once you get final calls then think of a decision.

saikumar : WE School is better

arun : Sir I will most probably convert BIM Tichy.Can I join this year?or should I try for IIms next year(sure I'll get ).(currently working in IT).also pls tell me wat difference does it make?
gautam : Getting into the IIMs will obviously make a huge difference to you from the point of view of entry into the corporate world. If this is your first attempt then I would suggest that you try for the IIMs next year.

nikhil : CONSIDERING THE PLACEMENT WHICH IS BETTER ITM OR SIESCOM????
gautam : SIESCOMS seems to have the edge as of now.

vidhya : Thank u so much sir.....

ayush : Sir I'm sorry to be off topic.. I got a call from IMT Dubai.. Please tell me how good is it..Placements and reputation.. Also please suggest whether I should join it.

darpang : CONFUSED BETWEEN FORE & LBSIM...FORE IS 5 kms. FROM MY HOUSE BUT LBSIM IS 20-25 kms...is it worth going the extra miles??? :)
saikumar : Both are evenly matched.....go for the one with the smaller batch size and lower fees.....5-30Kms shouldnt be the yardstick to choose an insti ;-)

asim : Answered,plz check

rahul : is bse mba in fm worth it?
gautam : If you are interested and have a background in that field it would be. However it is better to do a general MBA rather than an MBA with this level of specialisation if you are a fresher.

rahulv : gautam sir- so you are saying that scit is equal to itm,bimm & sies?
gautam : BIMM would be slightly lower, but SIES, ITM and SCIT are at the same level.

catstd11 : ITM NM WHICH IS THE BEST OPTION TO CHOOSE CONSIDERING FACULTY AND INFRA-FIN OR MRKTNG
gautam : NM

janishnikhil : CAT Percentile is 83 Sir!!
tssmurty : You can think of Institute of Management, Nirma University, Ahmedabad: (80 Percentile with sectional cut-off of 50 percentile or 95 percentile without sectional cutoff) Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM), Bhopal Prin. L. N. Welingkar Institute of Management Development & Research (WE School), Mumbai

nikhil : SIR CAN I EXPECT A SALARY OF 8-10 LACS AFTER DOING MBA FROM ITM NAVI MUMBAI IF I HAPPENS TO BE IN TOP 20% PERFORMERS?
srinivas : That's a long way to go Nikhil. You go to a b-school to make a career not just the first job. While pay is important, focus on gaining skills that will help you throughout your career. Your placements are also a function of the economic conditions then.

dipat : I got 77.84 %tile in cat & 187 in cmat -rank=4752, should I apply to Wellingkar Mumbai for pgdm?

janishnikhil : Academics 10th: 86, 12th: 91.1, Engg Final Year(Persuing):65, well quite keen as I want to finish my education without a break!!
satyaprakash : I am sorry, but I think I missed your query !

ques : to asim sir,, are these on the same level in terms of roi........which will be good in term for placement????
asim : In past the avg sal for Bimtech-IB has been around 4-4.5 Lakhs pa, the placement figures for IMT-Hyd are not available as not a single batch has passed out.

nikhil : HOW GOOD IS GREAT LAKES FOR 2 YR PROGRAMME?
satyaprakash : It's a newly launched programme, so the jury is still out on this one. Having said that, Great Lakes has a decent 1 year programme.

rahul : bse mba in collaboration with ignou . does this might affect placements?
gautam : IGNOU will not impact you adversely. However the question is whether you want to take up this course with this level of specialisation. You are essentially going into a very niche area.

janishnikhil : Asim Sir asked me to tell him my Acads!! I asked him to suggest among IMT-N, IMI-Kolkata or IMI-Bhubaneswar!!
asim : The fact that you are a fresher who in first attempt has acheived 80+ percentile suggests that you have good potential, think of taking another shot at CAT(with better preparation) and aim at IIMs and other TOP 20 B-Schools, instead of Joining B-Schools which are not even there in the TOP 40 B-Schools of India.

ajinkya123 : imdr selection process,.expected cut offs ?
asim : Till last year they used to admit students based on multiple exams(cat/xat/mat), the cutoff used to be around 70 percentile. Please check their admission dept for update on this.

sonu : what toppic of gd selected
asim : Can you please mention your question clearly

janishnikhil : Ok Sir. Thank You!! :-)
asim : welcome

azoo : Sir plz rate IIM C (PGPEX), ISB (PGP)? I have got admits from both these inst. And further is it worth waiting for another year targeting IIM A (PGPX) or IIM B (EPGP)
srinivas : ISB PGP would be a better proposition than IIM PGPEX.. It may not be worth waiting another year for IIM A PGPX. ISB one year would offer far more rigor than IIM executive programs.

dc : i have 10 days left for my christ gdpi i want to crack it at any cost canu suggest a gud book?
srinivas : No book can help in a GDPI. The only way to do well is to attend the practice GDPI sessions and read up.

nitin : sir reply if possible ..
srinivas : What is your CAT percentile?

dc : can u plz rank these colleges amity,christ,icfai,welingkar and ipe in a chronological order???????
satyaprakash : Go here : http://www.time4education.com/list_of_top90-schools.asp

shwetank : Bimtech which course

shyam : As a fresher without any work ex, which institute would be best preferred? cuz i heard IIMs tend to have more ppl havin sm amnt of work ex
srinivas : The only thing that is in your control is your performance in the written test and GD/PI/E. What criteria the b-schools would adopt is not worth losing sleep over. Not sure from where you've heard about IIMs preferring those with work ex. They have not stated anything to that effect on their websites.

333333333333333 : Sir, I am posting this for the 3rd time. I have got final calls from imt n, sdmimd, and have ifmr , bim trichy and we school gdpi left. the problem is that I have 2 years academic gap after 12th, and I ama b.tech passout of 2011, but have no work exp. None of these coll. Have 100% placement. And I am worried that I may not get a job, because of the gap, & I have to take a loan. I am planning to take a job & prepare to get a 100% placement coll. please guide.
satyaprakash : IMT N & SDMIMD have had quite ordinary placements this year. The other 3 colleges that you have mentioned are decent. Please know that getting admission to a college with a 100% placement record does not guarantee a great career. I hope you are not doing an MBA purely because of the remuneration aspect. Be clear as to why you want to do an MBA.

nithin : sir, pls. reply, Can a person doing his mba from a ugc approved college can get into 2 govt. jobs?
tssmurty : One may get any number of offers, but can take up only one.

nikhil : SATYAPRAKASH SIR .. SIBM BANGALORE HAS A AVERAGE PLACEMENT OF MORE THN 7 LACS ... IT ALSO HAS THE BRAND NAME OF SYMBOSIS ..THEN WHY R U NO RECCOMMENDING IT?
satyaprakash : Because we rank a college based on many other parameters rather than just the average placement figure, which in any case, is always misleading.

karthik : Sir, I got mail from IMT-G saying provisionally selected for DCP(dual country programme ). How good is the programme. How it differs from normal PGDM . pleaseeee answer
shwetank : Dual country programme is way costly and inferior in return on investment as compared to normal pgdm

kash : WHAT R THE RECENT TOPICS SHOULD I FOCUS FOR IIM GDPI ???
tssmurty : If you have been updating yourself with the current affairs in the last 3 to 6 months, it should be decent enough for the GD. Also visit the GDPE briefcase on our website. PI can be on your acads, Work exp., etc.

dipat : sir I got call for nmims pharma management,if I don't get admission to top 4 b-schools of mah cet, then should I join this course ? is this course worth joining than doing mms course from BB & B category b-schools? I am B.Pharm. ,fresher. plz help.

srinivas : If it is 93.6 Percentile that you got, then you would definitely get a better college than Delhi school of management.

don3 : which one would you go for?
satyaprakash : We would go to the IIMs. Thank you for all your questions and suggestions !

ap : At the moment i don't prefer to wait for a year unless i don't find myself in a decent college... So which colleges would you suggest me sir???
satyaprakash : Most of the colleges are almost done with their selection process. For now, you can apply to Welingkar, but I would rather you convert K.J. Somaiya.

dsh : sir in one of ur replies said that we rank a college based on many other parameters rather than just the average placement figure, which in any case, is always misleading. Than how can we get real figure of placement in b-school?
satyaprakash : Do a little scouting work. Make the effort to contact current students. Most B-schools have to make mandatory disclosures. Go through them as well. Don't be passive and believe everything you are told, kiddo !

nithin : murthy sir, one last thing that i wud lik 2ask generally, for any post eligibilty written is degree from a recognised university. so, does that mean it is aicte or ugc approved
tssmurty : It could be any. Normally for technical education we look for AICTE approved institutes.
