Ques

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

● Top Answer By Malabika Saha on 24 Jun 22

Ans

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.

Ques

Does IIM Lucknow also use Harvard case studies like IIMA?

● Top Answer By Akash Agrawal on 20 Mar 21

Ans

IIM Lucknow programs emphasize extensive case-based discussions, presentations, and role-plays to initiate an interactive learning environment. So, professors use cases from all B-schools across the world. Professors use cases from HBR, Ivey League, Stanford, IIM Ahmedabad, Kellogg’s, Wall Street Journal, and by IIM-L professors and students. In this premier B-school of India, almost all the subjects use case-study pedagogy. Even the oral communication subjects use cases to give a glimpse of real-time situations. The cases are important, but the level of the discussion carried out in the classroom plays a more predominant role. So, in all such analyses, the students are expected to read the case beforehand and prepare their participation notes. It is major for an extensive discussion. Some classes involve cases only. But sometimes, some use cases for discussion purposes only. All the case studies are available on the website of HBS and can be purchased. But it will not add any value to the students until debated in the classroom with experienced professors and diverse opinions of the students. The ultimate motto is to use the best cases to preview the real-life application. Harvard cases are considered to be one of the best management cases in the world.
