haritha : SIR,I’VE BEEN WAITLISTED AT 35 FOR MBA HR AT TAPMI SINCE THE SECOND MERIT LIST, WHICH CAME OUT 1.5 MONTHS AGO. WHILE OTHER TIER-2 COLLEGES LIKE GIM AND KJ ARE SHOWING MOVEMENT, TAPMI HASN’T MOVED AT ALL. IS THERE STILL A CHANCE OF CONVERSION?
ashwinvariyar : There is a chance. But don't close out other options just yet


adarsh : SIR HELP ME BETWEEN IIMB PGPBA VS IIIML FLAGSHIP
aniketkarane : If you are interested in a career focused on business analytics, IIMB's PGPBA is a good option. If you have a more general interest in management and a broader range of career paths, IIML's PGP might be more suitable. Both courses are top notch so try to figure out based on your aspiration.


adarsh : SIR IIMB PGPBA VS IIM L FLAGSHIP MY PROFILE IS 999 WITH NIT ALLAHABAD(GOLD) FRESHER ENGINEER AND MY INTEREST IS IN FINANCE.
aniketkarane : If your interest lies in leveraging data analytics to solve finance-related problems, IIMB PGPBA might be a better fit. If you prefer a broader management education with a strong finance component, IIML PGP might be more suitable. IIML PGP offers a more traditional MBA with a potential finance specialization. If you are an engineer and want to pursue finance then IIM L will provide more electives for the same which would be beneficial later on.


adarsh : SIR BEING A FRESHER AT B WILL BE AN ISSUE ESPECIALLY TALKING ABOUT PLACEMENT IN BULDGE BRACKET FIRMS
ashwinvariyar : Not necessarily. They might come with multiple profiles as well.


tanisha : SIR WHAT SHOULD I CHOOSE BETWEEN IIM SAMBALPUR VS TAPMI CORE. I WANT TO TAKE FINANCE SUBJECTS IN MY 2ND YEAR ELECTIVES BUT IN IIM SAMBALPUR FINANCE PLACEMENTS ARE ONLY 5%. WHAT SHOULD I CHOOSE
philipthomas : If you are very sure about specialising in Finance, TAPMI is the better choice , otherwise, Sambalpur


tanisha : SIR IS IT BECAUSE OF THE FINANCE PLACEMENT ONLY OR IS TAPMI OVERALL A BETTER CHOICE FOR CAREER OPTIONS?
philipthomas : Purely on account of the Finance as a specialisation factor


raj : SIR WHICH IS BETTER IIM JAMMU VS IMI DELHI?
aniketkarane : The brand of IIM will always be there but IMI Delhi is better than IIM Jammu if you want to pursue finance or marketing


tanisha : SIR WHAT WOULD YOU ADVISE SHOULD I LEAVE AN IIM BECAUSE OF FINANCE SECTOR OR SHOULD I TAKE IIM SAMBALPUR AND CHOOSE SOME OTHER SPECIALIZATION?
aniketkarane : The decision is yours alone to make. If you are sure about finance being your calling then TAPMI should be a no brainer as answered before. But if you are still exploring and want the IIM tag then you can look at Sambalpur.


haritha : SO SIR, DOES A WAITLIST NUMBER OF 35 FOR MBA HR AT TAPMI NO LONGER GUARANTEE CONVERSION? BECAUSE BASED ON PREVIOUS YEARS' DATA, IT WAS CONSIDERED A SURE-SHOT.
ashwinvariyar : There is a good chance. But there are other factors like WL movements of Baby IIMs and other colleges as well.


dk : SIR , PLEASE HELP ME TO CHOOSES BETWEEN IIM ROHTAK , NIA AND DSE
philipthomas : Leave out NIA unless you have experience in that sector and would like to build a career in the Insurance sector. IIM- Rohtak will get you better placements and brand value


dk : VERY MUCH CONFUSED BETWEEN IIM ROHTAK , NIA ND DSE . WHICH WILL BE BETTER FOR FUTURE.
aniketkarane : A general management education and a broad range of placement opportunities, IIM Rohtak is the strongest choice among the three. If you have a specific interest in economics or business economics then DSE can be looked at.


dk : SIR I AM STUCK BETWEEN NIA AND IIM ROHTAK , DUE TO FEES FACTOR WHICH IS ALMOST DOUBLE IN IIM.
aniketkarane : A bank loan for an IIM degree is a viable option.


sruthi : SIR, BEING A FRESHER WITH MECHANICAL BACKGROUND OF 2025 PASS OUT, IS THERE ANY IMPACT ON MY PLACEMENT AS A FRESHER IN IIM INDORE (PGP)?
ashwinvariyar : Not really. You can specialize in any area. Being from Mech background Operations is an area that might interest you.
