elakya : WHAT ARE LATERAL PLACEMENTS ?
ankur : lateral placements are placements for students with considerable work experience before mba. typically bschools set a cutoff at anywhere from 18 months to 24 months for these roles. the job profiles are better, the salaries higher but typically the range is shorter since companies tend to pick up people with relevant experience. e.g. you have a higher chance of getting an IT consultancy job at a senior level since you have worked in the IT industry before the MBA.

navya : RAHULPINNA SIR FOR IIM LUCKNOW WILL I HAVE ANY CHANCE TO CONVERT PGP IN THE SUBSEQUENT LISTS?

ankur : Decide govt or private and then focus your energies there. If you travel in two boats, you will find yourself in the water!

neel01 : CAN YOU EXPLAIN WAIT LIST MOVEMENT FOR IIM INDORE? CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
srinivasbelvi : Wait-list is nothing but the queue created by the institute after offering seats to the preferred students. It could be understood same as wait-list system followed in railways. All B-schools generally give buffer selections as some students surrender their seats after making an offer by the institute. Institutes set several payment deadlines to students to confirm the seats offered. Since some students do not make payment in the stipulated time, seat will be offered to the other students in the queue (called wait-list). Hope things are clear.

khan : RAHULPINNAMANENI SIR.CAT 79.82. 2015 GEM. NO EXP. LOST OFFERS MDI M, IMI BHU ,BIMTECH CORE FOR LACK OF MONEY. 10/12/UG=89/74/67. PRESENT AGE 26. WHAT SHOULD I DO...LBSIM INDORE. TWO NEW PROGRAM. WOULD YOU ADVISE ME TO APPLY?

namit : @RAHUL SIR BEING AN MDI ALUM IT WILL BE GREAT IF YOU COULD ANSWER!
rahulpinnamaneni : IM or HRM depends on the order of your preference that you gave at the time of applying. But one of them is quite likely.

ab : WHICH NEW IIMS SHOULD BE PREFERRED OVER NMIMS MUMBAI?
sumit : NMIMS is better than new IIMS. IIM Ranchi is one amongnst new iims which is close to NMIMS.

a : HI SIR I HAVE CONVERTS FROM BOTH MDI & IIM INDORE BUT CONFUSED BETWEEN THE TWO.WHICH ONE SHOULD I PREFER??
rahulpinnamaneni : IIM Indore, without a doubt. The IIM tag and the profiles offered, will make a difference.

shubham : SHOULS MDI IM PROGRAM BE PREFERRED OVER NEW IIMS?
chandrajyoti : IIMs will be a better choice.

neel01 : 2ND LIST OF IIM INDORE IS OUT AND AROUND 460 MERIT NUMBER HAS CONVERTED IN THE 2ND LIST.DOES IT STILL LOOK DIFFICULT FOR ME AT 603.(EVEN MUMBAI CAMPUS?
srinivasbelvi : Let me know your first merit list number & revised existing merit list number so that we can help you with query.

rahulpinnamaneni : It's not a proper MBA degree, so it won't give you much of a head start. Maybe you can avoid that program.

khan : YES ANKUR SIR. I WAS IN IBPS PO V RESERVE LIST AND IBPS CLERK VIII MAINS . BUT NOT IN FINAL LIST .HENCE TRIED CAT AND MBA AND AGE FOR GOVT JOB IS LAPSING..THANK YOU SIR
ankur : if you want to focus on mba then forget about govt job. focus is the key.

mayank : I HAVE CONVERTED SCMHRD AND SIBM WHICH ONE IS BEST FOR HR.
srinivasbelvi : SCMHRD is know for their HR program however SIBM-Pune also offers decent HR program. Any choice will add value to your future prospects.

ppc : SUPRATIM SIR,YOUR SUGGESTION REGARDING ANY CERTIFICATIONS OR LANGUAGES AND THE KIND OF LEADERSHIP ACTIVITIES ETC THAT GIVE ME EDGE OVER THE POOL, I AM PARTICULAR BECAUSE THERE ARE GAPS IN MY PROFILE, AND SPECIFIC TOP SCHOOLS WHICH ACCEPT SECOND MBA APPLICANT WITH 2-3 YRS EXPERIENCE
supratim : According to your work requirements and likeability you can go for CFA level 1 and CFA level 2 certifications or Operations certifications ( apics.org ) . But most importantly go for CSR activities .

a : RAHUL SIR BUT THEN EVEN THE TIME RANKINGS HAVE MDI AT A HIGHER LEVEL THAN IIM INDORE.WHY IS THAT SO THEN?? ACTUALLY I AM REALLY CONFUSED BECAUSE MOST OF THE RANKINGS HAVE MDI ABOVE INDORE BUT THEN WHEN ASKED PEOPLE SAY PREFER INDORE OVER MDI.
rahulpinnamaneni : It is so, because of recency effect. In the past couple of years, MDI could've done better than IIM Indore (we had multiple internal discussions about this issue in the past within the team too!). But in the long run, it's always better to choose IIM Indore. Also, let's say the top 30-40 jobs at IIM I are much, much better than at MDI Gurgaon.

di : PLEASE GIVE PREPARATION TIPS FOR PREPARING GK SECTION FOR IIFT EXAM.
rahulpinnamaneni : While preparing for the GK section in IIFT entrance test, a student should focus on issues related to national & international events, world bodies, and foreign trade-related information. From the various issues of MBA Education & Careers magazine, read OMET GK Special material published in the June-July/August/September issues; Business GK; Current Issues & Events; Current Event Chronicle, and GK Model Papers feature titled, Improve your GK. GA Note (Study Material) booklet for stock GK (like history and geography). GAT papers, each with 50 questions (10 papers) Manorama & CSR Year Book – they help in preparation for stock type questions. In any such book, please focus on the following chapters: Who is who; What is what; Science scan; Human body; Computers; Landmarks of history; The Universe. Finally, OMETs for IIFT question papers are perhaps the best source for preparation. It comes very close to the actual IIFT entrance exam paper and one should give maximum importance to these question papers.

neel01 : CAN YOU RANK NEW IIMS IF I HAVE PARTICULAR INTEREST IN FINANCE?
rahulpinnamaneni : Ranchi and Trichy are close. Both are better than Rohtak. They're perhaps the top 3 among new IIMs.

khan : RAHULPINNAMANENI SIR THANK YOU. BUT CAN I LAND JOB WITH THAT PROGRAM AS FINANCE ARE LOW SO ONLY COULD NOT AFFORD MDI M AND BIMTECH PGDM CORE...? AS NOW STABLE JOB MORE IMPORTANT THAN DOING MBA .
srinivasbelvi : Try to seek job with the existing profile. In all likelihood you might not require additional course to get a job of 3L package.

shubham : @RAHULPINNAMANENI SIR....I HAVE A WAITLIST NO OF 100 IN MDI. I THINK I WILL CONVERT IM AS PER THE LAST YEAR TREND AND THUS THE QUESTION.
rahulpinnamaneni : Yes, you will, very highly likely.

supratim : Business registration data.

khan : LBSIM INDORE PGDM TWO NEW PROGRAMMS 1.SUPPLY CHAIN AND LOGISTICS 2. RESEARCH AND BUINESS ANALYTICS. WHAT ARE ITS FEES AND CAREER FROM PGDM GENERAL?
bharat : fee could be known from the college's website... both are sectoral programs and job opportunities would, therefore, be limited to those sectors.

dara : I HAVE TWO CONFIRMED CALLS ONE FROM FORE DELHI THE OTHER FROM IIT KANPUR. WHICH WOULD BE THE BETTER ONE TO GO FOR?
ankur : kanpur is superior.

shubham : @RAHUL SIR...SO WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON IT SIR...IM PROGRAM OR THE NEW IIMS IF I CONVERT ONE
rahulpinnamaneni : If you convert Ranchi/Trichy, it'll be very close, but otherwise, if ROI is not an issue at all, MDI PGP-IM.

hope : SIR I HAVE CONVERTED IIT KHARAGPUR AND SELECTED FOR WAT PI OF IIM VISAKHAPATNAM.
srinivasbelvi : In today's scenario, IIT-Kharagpur offers beeter course & opportunities when compared with IIM-V.

khan : THANK YOU RAHULPINNAMANENI SIR
rahulpinnamaneni : You're most welcome!

hope : BETWEEN IIMV AND IIT KHARAGPUR. I AM INTERESTED IN FINANCE AND ANALYTICS..
rahulpinnamaneni : Kgp still

ppc : SUPRITAM SIR, SURE I WILL FOCUS ON CSR ACTIVITY,SORRY I DIDNT MENTION MY PROFILE IS B.E + PGDM ( MARKETING & OPERATIONS), SO CERTIFICATIONS RELATED THIS PROFILE, AND LANGUAGES?

ria : WHICH IS BETTER, IIM I OR K?
srinivasbelvi : Both are neck to neck in comparison, make your favorable choice.

hope : SIR I AM FRESHER FROM ENGINEERING BACKGROUND. WHICH COURSE WILL HELP ME? CURRENTLY I AM FREE...THANK YOU
chandrajyoti : Go for CAT 18 class room coaching from T.I.M.E.

shubham : @RAHUL SIR...SIR WON'T THE IIM TAG MATTER IN THE LONG RUN
rahulpinnamaneni : Before some of the newer IIMs become bigger brands in their own right, you'd be doing much better on your own, after graduating from MDI.

ppc : SUPRATIM SIR, WHAT ARE THE GOOD SCHOOLS TO TARGET, WHICH ACCEPT SECOND MBA APPLICANT WITH 2-3 YEAR EXPERIENCE, WHAT IF THE EXPERIENCE IS NOT FROM MNC?
supratim : Colleges will take you not your company. Do not worry. Work hard for 2 years and contribute for company's business. Future plans can be discussed later. You anyway have to write GMAT or GRE for studying abroad. So you will have to come for classes.

hope : THANK YOU RAHUL SIR..THANK YOU SRINIVAS SIR..
rahulpinnamaneni : You're welcome!

alex_700 : WHICH IS BETTER BETWEEN IIM ROHTAK AND IIM UDAIPUR AND WHY ?

shubham : @RAHUL SIR....SIR ACTUALLY I WAS COMPARING NEW IIMS AND MDI IM PROGRAM
rahulpinnamaneni : Edited the answer to reflect my exact thoughts. I'd still say, if it's Ranchi/Trichy/Rohtak, it's worth thinking, otherwise MDI is the better choice.

natural89 : CAT/10/12/ENGINEERING - 84.12/89/83/73
