Does ISB have a brand value better than that of XLRI, FMS, or IIM L?

The brand value of ISB and XLRI, FMS, IIM L can’t be compared. ISB is known for its executive PGP while XLRI, FMS, and IIM L are reputed for their two-year-long MBA progran. These are some of the top-rated B-Schools in the country and have long-standing legacies. ISB has a huge batch size of around 800. Due to the huge batch size students face problems getting decent opportunities through campus placements.The ROI isn’t that good. The total course fee for PGPM is around INR 36.3 lakhs. While the average CTC is around 34.07 LPA, according to the recent highlights of ISB placements.

Between IIM L and XLRI, which is better?

XLRI is the better option among these. The institute has a strong industry presence. According to the recent highlights, XLRI placements are pretty good. During the 2022 placement drive, the average CTC offered was INR 30.73 LPA. While the highest CTC offered was INR 60 LPA. XLRI is widely reputed across the country. If you check the credentials of multinational brands operating in India, most of them are XLRI alumni. Student life at XLRI is much better compared to IIM L. The personality development programs of XLRI are pretty good and help students gain management and leadership traits. IIM L has a more traditional approach toward academics.

What is the percentile that will ensure a call from IIM Calcutta, Lucknow, Bangalore, and Ahmadabad having 83% in 10th, 83% in 12th and a 6.9 CPGA in graduation, till now having no work experience?

If you have a good 10th and 12th-grade point average but a gradual decrease in graduation, it will undoubtedly affect your admission if you do not have work experience. Attempt to improve your CAT percentile. Having a round 99.86+ percentile, you may receive a call from both the new and old IIMs.

Which is better, IIM Lucknow or SJMSOM (IIT B)? I am from an ECE background with 3 years of IT experience.

SJMSOM at IIT B was founded in 1995, making it a relatively newer institution. But for a couple of years now, it has been making headlines because of some really outstanding profiles that were provided. Its core competencies are operations and supply chain management. There is no doubt that IIT B is the best choice if you want to work as a product manager. IIT B also has a beautiful campus with excellent facilities. Additionally, it would give you the opportunity to take part in MOOD-I, the most significant cultural festival in all of Asia, which is held at IIT Bombay. With the well-known tech fests, there is another opportunity for you to participate. Furthermore, there are benefits to living in Mumbai. For guest lectures, the majority of the industry experts live nearby and are easily reachable. IIM Lucknow was founded in 1984, so it has 11 batches more alumni than IIT B, resulting in approximately 3300 more alumni (considering 300 students per batch on average). It is also the fourth oldest IIM, following A, B, and C. You will gain a lot more industry experience, which will assist you in deciding what you truly want to do. In addition, IIM L offers better opportunities in Sales & Marketing, Consultancy, and BFSI than SJMSOM. Furthermore, you will be networking with a large number of students from all over the country and forming lifelong friendships. Furthermore, the IIM tag for a managerial position has an advantage over the IIT tag, which is still developing. It would be fine if you went to IIM L, SJMSOM, or any other B school a few years later. When you switch from the first company you get after your placements, the new recruiters will be more interested in your work than in the college you attended. And the impact of your colleges name gradually fades. What remains are the lessons youve learned and the memories youve made over the last two years.

Which executive MBA course is better between IIM Indore's EPGP and IIM Lucknow's IPMX?

Compared to IIM Lucknow’s IPMX, IIM Indore’s EPGP will be a better option. Small Cohort Size: IIM Indore has a small cohort size. So, the professor-to-student ratio is higher. Location: IIM Indore IPMX program takes place on the Noida campus. The environment on campus is ideal for studies and it also has the advantage of being close to the industries in the Delhi NCR region. Placement: IIM Indore Executive MBA placements 2022 had witnessed an all-time high average placement package. The average CTC for the top 25% of the EPGP students was INR 35.5 LPA. While the top 50% of students received an average CTC of INR 30.6 LPA. Batch Size: IIM Indore 2021 EPGP batch had 68 students. Students had work experiences in the range of 5-15 years. The students crowd is diverse and there is huge potential for peer learning. Due to these factors, EPGP from IIM Indore will be a better option.

How's the placement at IIM Lucknow?

IIM Lucknow is known for its lack of transparency and highly confidential placements. The reason was disclosed by one of my friends who was a victim of this secrecy. According to him, the figures revealed are that of just 150 students who get placed at good firms. They receive packages of around INR 20 LPA. The rest 300-400 students either land very low-paying jobs and most of them even stand unplaced. This cruelty is not brought to light by the authorities and placement committees. The placement committees are the ones to be blamed for this partiality. It is said that they are highly involved in collecting heavy fines from students to get them placed. This makes it difficult for financially weak or morally upright students to get placed despite their talents and efficiency. Usually, the average CTC is lower than other IIMs and is thus never revealed to the public. So to get placed in IIM Lucknow you have to get involved in wrongdoings and illegal stuff which is not recommended.

Which one among IIM Lucknow (ABM), IIM Kozhikode, and IIM Indore should I choose? Why?

Among these IIM Lucknow PGP ABM is the best option. IIM Lucknow tag offers certain advantages. You will get access to many case studies, a diverse student pool, a huge alumni network, and an ecosystem that fosters learning and excellence. For the first year, ABM students share classes with PGP students. The curriculum faculty and learning will be the same. For the second year, you can choose some extra subjects according to your interest along with your specializations. IIM Lucknow offers good placement opportunities to PGP ABM students. Along with FMCG companies, most companies in Consulting, Marketing, Finance, Operations, and HR are open to ABM students. In recent years, IIM Lucknow ABM placements had an average CTC of INR 24-25 LPA.

USP of IIM Lucknow

See What Tushar Jejani from the batch of 2023 has to say about IIM Lucknow

“When I joined IIM, I was always inclined to learn only about finance, however, when I joined I realized the importance of being able to have a holistic view of business problems. I had certain expectations & beliefs that were quickly challenged. Initially, I believed that placements should be the sole focus of my B-school journey. Thankfully, I soon realized that while placements are important, there are numerous other aspects to b-school life, such as case competitions, event management, and networking (which often involves a fair share of parties!).” Read More
