My friend was in a similar dilemma a few years ago. She had offers from NMIMS, SIBM and IIM Nagpur. She wasn’t sure if choosing a new IIM over these B Schools would be a wise decision. Yet she chose Nagpur in the end. Some major reasons that led her to choose it were
-
- Campus: IIM Nagpur and Vizag both have their own residential campus and amazing hostel facilities. It helps you make new friends and spend time in extracurricular activities and group discussions once your classes are over NMIMS on the other hand lacks hostel facilities
- Location: Nagpur and Vizag both have a location advantage over other new IIMs in the sense that they have airport facilities promoting connectivity.NMIMS enjoys the best location and many top firms visit the campus because of it. But in reality, it is only the ones with the best profiles that get good roles; others are offered average packages only.
- ROI: NMIMS does not offer a good ROU because of its high living expenses. Nagpur leads in this aspect because of minimal living expenses, lower fees than other IIMs, and similar packages.
- Placements: NMIMS has developed a strong alumni base and therefore attracts many top firms. But like I mentioned above, 80% of the batch is offered average roles. It’s only the ones with spectacular profiles that get the best roles. IIMs have a balanced placement scenario in contrast.
- Brand Value: Despite the unending debate, one cannot deny the brand value of the IIM tag. There are certain HRs from top organizations who still prefer IIM students over other top B Schools. This is the sole reason why the new IIMs give an edge to B Schools like IMT, SIBM Pune, etc.
Based on the above parameters you have to make a decision according to your preferences. My friend was glad she chose IIM Nagpur and it helped her uplift her career through various opportunities.

The criteria for admission at IIM Visakhapatnam are not as stringent as some of the older IIMs, and generally, a score of above 60% in 10th, 12th, and graduation would make one eligible for admission at the institute. However, it's important to note that the institute may have different requirements and cutoffs for different programs, and it's best to check the official website or contact the institute directly for the most up-to-date and accurate information on their admission criteria. Additionally, while meeting the minimum eligibility criteria is important, it is not the only factor that is considered during the admission process, other factors such as work experience, entrance exam scores, and personal interviews are also considered.
The CAT score, in addition to being a selection criterion, is also used to establish the minimum level of proficiency that is expected from the candidate in respective areas as indicated by section-wise minimum scores in the CAT.

My sister was a student at IIM Visakhapatnam and always praised Prof. Jayasankar Ramanathan specifically. She used to say that although every teacher in IIMs is unique, this particular professor had the ability to grab the attention of the weakest minds. His pedagogy was like no other. Here are some highlights of his unique teaching methodology.
- Right on the first day he will give you a question paper with basic questions related to your prior knowledge of marketing. He does the same on the last day and now you have to answer based on the knowledge you have acquired in 2 years. Then he gives you both the answer sheets and asks you to compare your answers. The drastic difference stems from the elaborate knowledge you have acquired in 2 years.
- The topics are usually covered through case discussions
- The students are selected for class discussions by drawing their roll numbers anonymously
- He is amazing with drawing insights from numbers and tables
- He prefers formal contact between students and himself via mail or prior appointments.
- He focuses a lot on disciplinary conduct
- He refuses to clear doubts in the middle of the class. You can jot them down and ask them the next day
- He assigns extremely mind-boggling projects that require your entire attention
- He gives more weightage to projects and ensures comprehensive evaluation.
- He sometimes arranged some fun games that indirectly promote learning
The best part was that he used the same cards he used to draw names for class discussions and wrote best wishes in them and gave them to the students. All these unique methodologies made him everyone’s favorite.
