What is the rank of Goa institute of mangement? Is it better than bimtech and welingkar and also PGDM BDA in GIM good choice?

Sritama Ghose

21 Sept 21

Both the colleges BIMTECH and Goa Institute of Management is decent colleges for management studies. Both the campuses are huge and offer good opportunities to students in upgrading themselves. NIRF 2021 ranked GIM 35 for PGDM/MBA.

For a PGDM BDA, GIM will be a great choice. I have a few friends from the program and they had pretty great experiences pursuing the course.

The course has a perfect balance of management and data analysis.
It is powered by SAS, the world leader in analytics. It offers a variety of courses and a 5-month long summer internship.
The initial batch of PGDM BDA had a 100% summer placement average, due to which the batch size was increased to 120.

If you are interested in doing a PGDM in BDA, GIM is definitely a great option.

Can you please set the preference order for the following MBA colleges: IBS-Hyderabad, IMT-Nagpur, XIME-Banglore, Welingkar-Mumbai, Bimtech-Noida?

Darvesh Gupta

13 Feb 23

Honestly speaking all the B Schools you mentioned are just glamorous brand names with no real value. The placement scenario is very pathetic here as the companies that visit are looking for students who can work at fewer salaries. Only the extremely meritorious students get good packages and that too is rare.

So I will suggest that if you have scored 95+ in CAT, then you are capable of more. So work hard and target a better B School next year. Remove these colleges from your list of options and attempt CAT again.

If you are not very sure about attempting CAT again then prepare yourself for a package as low as 5-6 LPA.

Which is better for a PGDM of supply chain, Welingkar or NMIMS Mumbai?

Aanchal Dham

28 Feb 23

NMIMS Mumbai is a far better option for a PGDM than Welingkar. As a working professional, the Distance Learning Program is most suitable for you. Companies prefer working professionals with post-graduation and there has been an increase in demand for a structured Management system. The ever-growing technological advancements in the Commerce sector have increased the demand for Supply Chain Management. There is an increasing need for experts to handle mainstream logistics.

The 2-year PGDM in Supply Chain Management programs offers insights into the concepts employed in Supply Chain and the practical application of these concepts. The curriculum is relevant to the recent trends and is delivered by experts in the field. It covers various concepts like

Procurement
Lean and warehouse management
Logistics
Inventory management

The program helps the students gain a strong grasp on the industry. The curriculum first lays down the foundation of Management before dwelling on Supply Management. The program is most suitable for someone seeking a career in logistics, procurement, and distribution at an executive or entrepreneurial level.

Advait Joshi

18 Apr 23

No, there are no backdoor entries as far as I know. All of the names mentioned are respectable institutes and the only way to get admissions is through your own hard work and determination. Study well, take the entrance exam and hope for the best.

Where shall I pursue my MBA, Welingkar Mumbai or IIM Jammu?

Arshit Jain

11 Jan 23

You should pursue an MBA at IIM Jammu. Your decision in this case should be influenced by the IIM's strong reputation for quality and the respect you receive from those around you. The following are the reasons behind the same:

Money is always a motivator for candidates to pursue their dreams, allowing them to dream bigger. In both institutes, the package is nearly identical. It can vary, but if you are an intelligent candidate in both institutes, you can safely assume more than the 10LPA package.

If not for a better package, it could be for learning business models, getting structured thought processes, starting your own business, or making the right business connections.

IIM Jammu has strong ties with all HR professionals in the industry. It holds a variety of events at the institute on a regular basis. Students may participate in community activities.

It has also partnered with Entrepreneurship cells and top business people in J&K to connect you with the right people. You have a fantastic library, a fantastic curriculum, and, of course, a fantastic environment in which to feel happy and positively imbibe what you are taught and experienced into your brain and heart.

Without a doubt, IIM Jammu is a perfect platform for one to enjoy and live in a very peaceful and aesthetic place, with nice people around you, while maintaining professionalism. It has a cultural festival, a sports festival, numerous fun events, celebrations, and so on that, you will remember for the rest of your life.

Which one should I opt for between BIMTECH PGDM core and Welingkar Mumbai core?

Ekta Singh

23 Feb 23

When considering a post-graduate program in management, it is important to gather information about various factors that can impact your education and career opportunities. These include the brand value of the institute, the exposure and opportunities provided by the institute's location and academic record, the brands that come for placements, and the placement figures with respect to different specializations like marketing, finance, HR, etc. In this context, Welingkar Mumbai and BIMTECH Greater Noida are both strong options to consider.

Firstly, Welingkar Mumbai is a well-established and well-known brand in the market, with a long-standing history since the early 1990s. BIMTECH Greater Noida, on the other hand, has gained popularity in recent years, becoming a brand after it performed well after the global recession of 2009.

Secondly, studying in the financial capital of India, Mumbai, provides students with valuable exposure and opportunities. However, this does not limit the placement performance of Welingkar with respect to marketing specializations, as it provides very good placements around 8 lakh rupees per annum CTC.

Thirdly, when considering ranking, Welingkar Mumbai is among the top 30 institutes in India, whereas BIMTECH is among the top 45. Therefore, it can be concluded that BIMTECH is a good management institute for marketing placement, but Welingkar Mumbai may be a better overall option due to its established brand and reputation.

However, it is important to keep in mind that these are not the only factors to consider when making a decision and it is important to conduct thorough research and evaluate all options before making a final decision.

Which college should I choose (BIMTECH or Welingkar) for PGDM marketing?

Abinash Sinha

26 Aug 22

For PGDM Marketing, you should choose BIMTECH. It is consistently ranked among the top B-Schools in the country. Top companies such as Infosys, Accenture, Honda, ICICI Bank, Del Monte, etc. take part in BIMTECH placements. During 2022 placement drive, the average CTC offered was INR 9.38 Lakhs. For the top 50 students, the average CTC offered was INR 12.30 LPA.
