Ques. Which one should I choose: MBA at IIT Kharagpur (operations) or IMT Ghaziabad (finance)?

● Top Answer By Akriti Banerjee on 06 Oct 23

Ans. IIT Kharagpur for operations would be better than IMT Ghaziabad (finance). As IMT Ghaziabad is more famous for its marketing course than finance. IIT Kharagpur is known for its operations management program and has a strong reputation as an institution of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). A few key aspects of IIT Kharagpur are as follows: In 2023 IIT Kharagpur secured 14th rank among all top management schools in India. This does reflect its academic excellence, infrastructural abilities, faculty strength, and placement records.  The faculties are adequately skilled and helpful while imparting quality education. The hostel's amenities include triple and double sharing, as well as all the essentials. The food is of high quality, and you will have four meals. The admissions procedure includes signing up for the hostel. Accommodation in a hostel is required for all students. IIT Kharagpur placements 2023 have been concluded. IT Kgp highest package stood at INR 43.37 LPA whereas VGSOM IIT Kharagpur's average package stood at INR 22.13 LPA. So based on these aspects IIT Kharagpur is a better option for pursuing an MBA in operation management.Read more

Ques. How good is the department of financial studies MBA (FM), Delhi University?

● Top Answer By Akriti Banerjee on 15 Sept 23

Ans. My brother was a student at this college and so this answer is based on his experience solely. The Department of Financial Studies is a CFA-affiliated college wherein you can get a scholarship for pursuing a CFA degree. Its MBA program is highly coveted. It's the best option for you if you want to pursue a career in Finance and fail to make it to other B Schools. Here are some factors to consider  Fees: The low fees charged by DFS is the USP of the college. You can pursue an MBA at just 26000. IIMs fees on the other end are very high Around 13–24 lakhs. So DFS offers a better ROI than IIMs. Curriculum: Curriculum-wise, DFS cannot be compared to IIMs that have excellent course structure at par with foreign universities. DFS follows the semester pattern, unlike the trimester pattern in IIMs. IIMs conduct case study competitions but this is not the case at DFS. Faculty : DFS has some very well-educated and experienced faculty members much better than at least the new IIMs. Placement: The placements at DFS are at par with new IIMs only and not other top IIMs.  Alumni: The small batch size of DFS has failed to establish an elaborate alumni base in contrast to IIM Ahmedabad. Ultimately, if you don’t want a huge loan to repay at the end of 2 years or the IIM tag, DFS is the best optionRead more

Ques. Which college is better for PGDM Finance SIESCOM or N L Dalmia, XIME, Bangalore or NDIM, New Delhi or UBS, Mumbai?

● Top Answer By Tithi Aggrawal on 05 Sept 23

Ans. You can consider XIME Bangalore as your first choice, then SIESCOM and NL Dalmia as your second and third choices, respectively. It is better not to consider NDIM or USB since they are bad at academics and placement support. XIME has a decent placement package, a good academic history, well-equipped classrooms, a resourceful atmosphere, and experienced scholars. So, take a wise decision, and all the best for your future.Read more

● Top Answer By Tithi Aggrawal on 05 Sept 23

Ans. NL Dalmia does not follow the exact cutoff criteria. The cutoff ranges from 92 to 95% for the general category. The admission process is based on your score in the entrance examination and the interview conducted by the institute.

Ques. Which college is good to go to with options like Welingkar School, IBS Hyderabad, IFIM Bangalore and IMT Hyderabad, when my interest is in MBA Finance?

● Top Answer By Divya Saraf on 04 Sept 23

Ans. First of all, congratulations on graduating and making the best decision to opt for an MBA in Finance. You have to carefully examine the infrastructure, fees, facilities, and faculties before confirming an institute, and this is a crucial step for every candidate.  Let us have a brief comparison of the colleges you have preferred- IMT Hyderabad – This institute is known for its infrastructure, location, and faculty, but it is new and lacks experience when compared with institutes like IMT Nagpur. IFIM Bangalore – They are good at academics but charge exorbitant fees. IBS Hyderabad – They have a resourceful atmosphere in their college and are good at infrastructure. Every class is filled with a greater number of students, and they also charge a high price for each seat. Welingkar School – They are superlative at infrastructure, faculty, academics, facilities, and campus life. Most importantly, they follow affordable fee schemes for the students. So, you can go with the option of Welingkar School for your studies.Read more
