Question 1

How was your interview experience at IIM Nagpur?

Accepted Answer

My friend recently flunked her interview as she did not prepare for the questions related to her undergraduate degree. They asked her to start with a basic introduction after which they asked her about the subjects of her undergraduate program. Because she had not prepared well for this part, her hesitation took the better of her. They probed her with questions like

Did you study Financial Subjects or about to study?

What is the Current ratio?
What is Net worth?
What is the Income of the Company?
What is Return on Sales?
Unearned income and where it comes from?
What should I ask you?
What's the idea if you want to do entrepreneurship?
What is a Dividend?

What worsened her situation was the questions asked by the second panel. She asked her some mathematical questions which became the reason for her doom.

The conclusion from the interview is that as a fresher you should definitely go through your graduation subjects as most of the questions will be asked from that only. Remember they will question your ability to answer the questions confidently most importantly.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

When considering the question of which MBA program to attend, it is important to recognize that there is no definitive answer and that the decision will vary depending on the individual. There is a multitude of factors to consider before making this decision, and understanding how these factors weighed into another individual's decision-making process can be helpful in making one's own decision.

This can make a big difference for those who are taking out an educational loan, as it can free up funds for other opportunities or risks.

Another important factor to consider when looking at MBA programs is the brand value of the institution. IIMs are widely recognized as the best business schools in India, and the reputation of an IIM can open doors in the job market and throughout one's career. It is crucial to weigh in the long-term benefits that come with being associated with an IIM.

Batch diversity in experience is another important consideration, especially for those who are looking to leverage peer learning as one of the most important aspects of an MBA program. IIM Nagpur has a diverse set of students with rich experience from a variety of industries, which can open up opportunities to learn about different domains and industries that one might not have been aware of before.

Lastly, the curriculum, faculty, and culture of the school are important factors when selecting an MBA program. IIM Nagpur has a vast curriculum that is designed to closely align with the business world. Faculty are well experienced and knowledgeable in their subjects and make sure the students understand the concepts in a better way. Additionally, there is a great extent of flexibility in the electives that the students want to study.

Question 8

Are the six newest IIMs a good option? (i.e., IIM Nagpur, Vizag, Amritsar, Sirmaur, Bodhgaya, Sambalpur)

Accepted Answer

It depends on your profile. If you are a general category student with good academic records - more than 85 percent throughout 10th, 12th, and graduation, then old IIMs will be better.

If you aren’t getting the old IIMs, you can consider new IIMs like IIM Nagpur, Sambalpur, Vizag, Amritsar, Sirmaur, and Bodhgaya. Being part of any recently established institute is a different experience altogether. You will get to set the culture on campus which your juniors will inherit. These baby IIMs have decent placements. You will get placement opportunities through campus drive if you have a good academic record. Here are the average CTC statistics for these IIMs.

Institute	Average CTC
IIM Nagpur	INR 15.21 LPA
IIM Vizag	INR 15.06 LPA

Question 9

Which one is better, IIM Visakhapatnam or Nagpur?

Accepted Answer

IIM Visakhapatnam is not better than IIM Nagpur yet it is at a level with it. There are many reasons why people choose it over Nagpur.

It is the best among the newest IIMs. IIM Visakhapatnam’s spectacular growth and placement statistics are a testament to that fact.
The horse-shoe-shaped classrooms are the highlight of its infrastructure. There are 2 whiteboards with projectors each. The new IIMs still lack this facility
The hostel facilities are also very clean and hygienic with a variety of cuisine offered at the mess.
The location in itself is a USP of the college. The serene surroundings with spectacular views and fresh air attract many nature lovers.

So if your expectations are low regarding placements and facilities, IIM Visakhapatnam is the best new IIM you can go for.

Question 10

Which is better XIMB HR or IIM Nagpur?

Accepted Answer

One of my friends pursued BTech from a renowned IIT and even had work experience when he got an offer from IIM Nagpur. He wasn’t sure if joining it would be worth it but a few months into the college made him realize that it was one of the best decisions of his life. He claimed that the following points convinced him to join IIM Nagpur

The IIM Ahmedabad mentorship
The IIM tag
The pedagogy is top-notch coming from the best professors of IIM Ahmedabad
You get to spend one trimester in IIM Ahmedabad which itself is a lifetime experience
The student exchange programs allow you to study at a foreign university for 3 months

I have seen many people forgoing offers from XIMB-BM, IIM Kashipur, IIM Indore- Mumbai campus VGSOM and all the newest IIMs to join IIM Nagpur. Its fast-paced growth and promising placement opportunities are the main reasons for the same. So I think IIM Nagpur is way better than XIMB.
