Which college to prefer? I am waitlisted in both IIM Udaipur as well as IIM Trichy. I want to opt for Finance. which one should I go for?

Yashluv Virwani

25 Jan 23Studied at Indian Institute of Management Calcutta

In order to research the opportunities that both of these colleges, IIM Udaipur as well as IIM Trichy have to offer in the field of finance, it is a good idea to try and get in touch with previous students who have studied finance at these colleges. You can ask them about their experiences and whether they believe that the college prepared them well for a career in finance. It is also a good idea to be specific about the particular career choice within finance that you are interested in, as this will help you to determine whether the college has a strong track record of placing students in those types of roles.

Additionally, online forums such as Pagalguy can be useful resources for gathering information and asking questions about the opportunities that are available at these colleges. It is important to be specific in your queries on these forums, as this will help you to get more targeted and helpful responses.

Which one is better among them for a fresher without work experience: IIM Ranchi or IIM Trichy or IIM Raipur?

By Adminon 20 Jul 22

Srishti Gupta

IIM Trichy is the best option among these. It is especially good for Strategy, Finance, and Marketing specialization. The institute has an excellent placement record. IIM Trichy placement 2022 ended with an average CTC of INR 17.01 LPA, while the highest CTC offered this year was INR 34 LPA. It has a permanent campus and offers an enviable campus experience to students.

If you want to specialize in HR, IIM Ranchi will be a better option.

Which IIM is the best (IIM Kashipur, IIM Udaipur or IIM Tiruchirappalli)?

By Rhythm Jainon 24 Jan 23

Saher Zehra

24 Jan 23Lived in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Depending on who you ask, this question has a variety of answers. The majority of the students, faculty, and business representatives you'll come into contact with, however, rank Kashipur last among the three colleges mentioned.

Most people, especially in the south, prefer Trichy over Udaipur when it comes to placements. However, in the past two years, people from Mumbai, Calcutta, and Delhi region have also made this recommendation. One reason for this is that Udaipur is overly dependent on its director, who, according to reports, has a narrow perspective on placements. Contrarily, Trichy is thought to take a more well-rounded and superior approach to academics, extracurriculars, and placements. This is why Trichy was chosen over Udaipur.

One of my friends faced a similar problem while choosing among all of the second-generation IIMs - Trichy, Kashipur, Udaipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, and Raipur. Let me share his experience which might give you a basic idea.

He decided to conduct his own preliminary investigation without seeking any assistance from anyone.
Furthermore, he simply went to the websites and Facebook pages of these IIMs and looked at what each of them does, particularly in terms of placements and campus life and activities.

IIM Trichy and IIM Udaipur were his final two options. The following are the reasons why he chose IIM Trichy:

Between IIM Shillong, SJMSOM, and IIM Trichy, which college is best? I am looking for a good learning experience and placements.

By Laxmi Routon 30 Jan 23

Ananya Agrawal

30 Jan 23Management Trainee at Flipkart.com (product) (2018–present)

The Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management (SJMSOM) in Mumbai offers several advantages to its students. According to a report, the highest salary package for the 2022 batch at SJMSOM was approximately 49.39% higher than the previous year, at INR 49 LPA. The average salary for the 2020-2022 batch was also 18.1% higher than the previous year, at INR 25.9 LPA.

SJMSOM attracts highly prestigious companies for recruitment, including JP Morgan, ICICI Bank, Infosys Consulting, KPMG Global Services, PwC India, Wipro, and MAQ Software, among others. The smaller batch size at SJMSOM allows for more opportunities for students to participate in activities and committees, promoting their holistic development.

SJMSOM also offers a high number of live projects and industry interaction sessions, providing students with knowledge and experience beyond what is found in textbooks. When considering SJMSOM as an option, students may also be considering other institutes such as IIM K or IIM I. It is worth noting that while IIM Trichy is a good college, new IIMs may still be in the process of establishing themselves.

Which is better, NITIE or IIM Trichy?

By Adminon 25 Jan 23

Jayant Thakur

25 Jan 23MBA in Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Management & Operations Management, National Institute of Industrial Engineering (Graduated 2020)

NITIE is superior to IIM Trichy in every respect. There are many students who have received calls from several other top business schools but ultimately chose NITIE as their first choice. Some may argue that IIM Trichy has the prestige of being an IIM and is more well-known to the general public, but the individual believes that what really matters is the reputation of the institute among employers. NITIE has a strong reputation in the field of operations and a good return on investment, as well as the advantage of its location. It also provides numerous opportunities for industry experience.

A lot of students believe that it is not worthwhile to choose a business school based on its potential status in 15 years, as by that time, the individual will already have achieved success and the specific business school they attended will not matter as much.

What is the minimum CAT percentile to get a call from IIM Kozhikode and IIM Trichy?

For 2021, IIM Kozhikode cutoff was 85 for General candidates. IIM Trichy cutoff for 2021 was 92 for general category students.
