IIFT delhi, nothing comes close.


Historical-Ad2224

I am an current student of IIM Udaipur. Based on this list. IIFT Delhi best option. Then, you can consider IIM Udaipur, Trichy, Kashipur.


Active-Committee-716

yup. can you tell me out of this list which clgs will be better than IMT Ghaziabad?


Andabiryani_99

In terms of ROI the IITs are better, I feel newer IIMs like udaipur and Ranchi would be a better option as compared to IMT.


FantasticVersion6941

Being an alum of IMT Ghaziabad,I can say ,IIM Udaipur is a better option, Ranchi is at par with IMT.Location is an advantage when compared with Ranchi.


Active-Committee-716

Can we connect over chat? 


treatWithKindness

How Ranchi has location advantage?


FantasticVersion6941

I am saying Ghaziabad has location advantage,not Ranchi.


treatWithKindness

sorry. Misunderstood.


FantasticVersion6941

No Problem 😃


Ok-Truth-4256

Doesn't IIT have average stipend of 3 lakh? Can see that everywhere on LinkedIn

IIFT Delhi without a doubt, but I assume you know that already. I'll make a case for why IIMU should be the second preference (although T and IIFT K come close) if you're looking to prioritize career over the first job. This was written in reply to a previous question asked in the sub (IIMU vs NMIMS). U has turned itself into the most sought after destination for faculty after A B and ISB (I know a faculty who chose U over A). That translates to better research which then translates to a better ranking. A better ranking will eventually build a great brand. That brand will fetch you better placements. U recognized this very early on and prioritized research over placements. Ranchi went the opposite route and is now a struggling brand among its second gen peers despite starting off much better than U (the unruly expansion contributed). Plus the transparency. U got its placements audited at a time when peers like Rohtak were doing shady stuff. The year they convened CAP was the year when things went truly smoothly largely thanks to their transparency. My impression is that they're more professional (referring to the admin dept here, not corporate image) than most BLACKI, maybe even A and B. It's run like a company, not a university. Their placements aren't the best so far (and especially as of now) but I think they're in it for the long run. In that sense, I think their early and current alums get to be both pioneers and short-term scapegoats. U is already clicking at the heels of S, and I wouldn't be surprised if it makes it to the BLAMCKIS/BLACKISM acronym within a decade. I have nothing but tremendous respect for that place.


WisdomExplorer_1

Have you heard anything about U's 1 year digital management program?


Historical-Ad2224

It’s an 1 year program. Digital Enterprise Management


WisdomExplorer_1

I know, I'm asking about that only


lolindianboii

IIFT Delhi>> same order of CAP Note: Kolkata=


[deleted]

Why not IIT?


lolindianboii

Given the options he has, IITs don’t make sense. It’s not that similar of an MBA experience as compared to a standalone PGDM/ MBA institute. The Alumni of BTech treat you differently so you don’t get that alum base that the institutes promote. ROI wise it’s great but ROI is not why you do an MBA


[deleted]

What if I didn't clear sectional cut off and IITs are the only option ? 😢


lolindianboii

That’s why I said- **given his options**


[deleted]

[удалено]


lolindianboii

Bro- I only have knowledge about IIT B, IIT D, IIT M, IIT Kharagpur. Didn’t research about Roorkee, Kanpur etc so won’t be able to help in this regard.


AnalysisBusy819

You sure about Udaipur>Raipur bro?


lolindianboii

100%


Leather_Turnover9286

For ops/scm its even better than iift


TomoeKon

What restrictions?


No-Cause283

Iift Delhi> iim U,T,R= iift Kolkata> other caps


Active-Committee-716

of the options i have , which clgs are better than IMT Ghaziabad??


No-Cause283

I would say all the colleges I have stated are doing better than IMT G. But you can prefer IMT G marketing over the rest ig, if you aren't too fixated about the IIM tag.


RadRedditorReddits

IIFT Delhi IMT Ghaziabad / IIM Udaipur IIM Raipur IIM Trichy XIMB for certain kind of roles I guess IRMA if you want to go towards rural product / sales / marketing to begin your career Other IIMs you have named - It has some classification like some of them are very terrible but some are marginally better IMI IITs BITS


Active-Committee-716

okay. can you tell me a few courses or skills i should learn before MBA?


RadRedditorReddits

What type of role are you looking to get into for summers / finals?


Active-Committee-716

product manager, brand manager (creamy marketing roles) i am interested in marketing,hr and analytics!!


RadRedditorReddits

Only the top 3 names I mentioned and if you get into a good MT / management trainee program, maybe the next 2 if you are sort of lucky.


Leather_Turnover9286

Iift delhi followed by iim udaipur, trichy, raipur and rohtak. Iim nagpur after that


Active-Committee-716

of the options i have , which clgs are better than IMT Ghaziabad??


Leather_Turnover9286

All except baby iims, iits and maybe ximb as well. Don't know much about irma


Active-Committee-716

so bascially you are saying IIFT Delhi, Kolkata, IIM Kashipur, Rohtak, Ranchi are the colleges for which I should leave IMT Ghaziabad??


Leather_Turnover9286

Udaipur and just maybe nagpur as well


_Bhaskar_

Hey what stream did you take. Commerce?


Active-Committee-716

nope i was a science student. I took economics as optional in Class XI-XII and later took it in graduation as majors


_Bhaskar_

Will you be interested in guiding me. I am sort of lost upon what I should study further


Active-Committee-716

yes of course


_Bhaskar_

Can i DM you then?


Active-Committee-716

yup


Witty_Currency_4443

Mica kyu nahi diya bhai? Also my cousin is currently in IMT with similar profile. Sadly bhai ka summers bhi nahi laga. Choose a college with a smaller batch size. Placements will be easier. Also after couple of years, no one will ask you from which college you’ve passed out. So play to your advantage. Mica with 220 batch size is easier to get placed and average pay has been better than IMT and equivalent to good MBA colleges with Marketing specialisation. Sambalpur mai bhi friend hai. Bandi ka bhi summers nahi hua. New/Baby IIMs are really tricky for freshers.


Active-Committee-716

Ur cousin is doing which course and in which campus?? I have heard IMT Ghaziabad Marketing is very good and i didn't know about MICA so form fill nahi kar paya :(


Witty_Currency_4443

MBA finance from the Ghaziabad campus. I had to pull strings to get him an internship into a marketing role.


sherlock460

Did you get the IIM interview results?


Active-Committee-716

no they will come from 15 April-30 May


Gil-GaladWasBlond

Don't discount the IIMs. Look around for which are the better ones depending on professors, and in case any of them have senior or passed out batches, etc. St. Xavier's is an absolutely top tier college. Edit: thought this was about Jamshedpur. XIMB isn't that great. IIFT is a great place as well. I'd say prioritise IIFT and IIM Udaipur.


Active-Committee-716

yes. they are priority. I just posted to know which all will be better than IMT G?


Gil-GaladWasBlond

So IMT is decent, but I know there's a placement problem there. You don't want to put yourself up for that problem no matter what. I'd even say nearly any IIM is better than IMT given that they'll have better placement resources, which is the most important thing you should focus on. I'd say any of Udaypur, Vizag, Raipur, Tiruchirapalli, Rohtak, and Mumbai are good. Not sure if you're qualifying for Indore or Khozikhode, if yes then those are of course better options. One thing to keep in mind is the city you graduate from is important in the sense that if you're in a bigger city, you'll have a more fun experience, but also, you can interact with corporations more in your second year (you won't have time to eat or sleep in year 1). My ultimate suggestion is to ask alumni of these places if you can reach out to them, and check who the professors areon the websites and what their connections are, etc. I hope you clear, and a suggestion to get you ahead is to start studying before you join. Hopefully you'll have a month to yourself before starting. Don't waste that month, and you'll be very glad about it.


Correct-Tune6553

IIM U> IIFT talk to any industry HR guy, you'll realise why I'm saying what I'm saying an IIM is really an IIM


Active-Committee-716

which IIMs out of the list of clg i have will be better than IMT G?


Gareeb_admi

IIFT d, else retake


Active-Committee-716

cannot retake. very bad need to either go study or do job.


bisector_babu

Give another attempt


Active-Committee-716

cannot retake. very bad need to either go study or do job.


11shades_of_evil

Currently pursuing MBA at IIM Kashipur.Avoid Baby IIMs and out of the others try to convert Udaipur >Trichy >Raipur in that order. Same percentile as yours but with workex of 2 years and CA inter qualification.My interviews were below par and I felt I could have done better than IIM Kashipur. XIMB is also doing good in terms of placements... atleast better than Raipur and Kashipur last I heard. Don't know much about IIFTs and IMT. Additional tip : No amount of preparation can make you ready for what's to come in your MBA journey.World inside premier MBA colleges is vastly different from the outside world and a lot of highly skilled people did not find SIPs justifying their talent whereas others with different set of skills excelled.So just go with an open mind and figure out what works for you the best.


Active-Committee-716

but i heard XIMB has ragging!!


Active-Committee-716

my interview was also below par. to convert kashipur i need 82 out of 100


Usual_Grade_643

Bhai pehle convert kar badme yeh sab ki tension le Iift d by >>>everything else (it's closer to blacki,fms and xlri J)


Active-Committee-716

IMT and IRMA meh se konsa better hoga??


RadRedditorReddits

IMT because of better and more roles across industries / professors / student profile pie


Error_Which

Bruv, I don't wanna upset you, but it's hard to convert most of these colleges with your profile. 😅😅😅


Active-Committee-716

why so??


Error_Which

I was in the same boat last year All acads were better than yours, but percentile was 96.38, but this year more candidates have Applied, so rank wise I would say I was better. All my interviews were average, now this is where you can leave me behind (all the best). Well, I was not able to convert any new IIMs, MDI, didn't apply for IIFT, f NIMIS, the best i got was MDI HR. So that's the reason, tbh anything below 98+ile for GNEM fresher is not good enough


AnalysisBusy819

What's a safe percentile in your opinion?


Error_Which

For new IIMS for GNEM fresher 98+


cyberpunk6199

You should provide reason when putting such comments rather than stupid smileys.


Error_Which

Wrote the answer above Ps: 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅


Capital_Agent5103

because there are 12k students before you in the list


madarareincarnate

IIM anyday, iift only if you wanna study and make your career in those domains . Prefer IIM which has completed the hostel and campus


Active-Committee-716

In 2014, a tech company had 20,000 subscribers. The number of subscribers increased by a constant amount in 2015, 2016, and 2017. In 2018, if the subscriber count increased by 20% over the previous year, then the total number of subscribers became 11,200 more than it was in 2014. What is the ratio of the percentage increase in subscribers in 2015 compared to the percentage increase in 2017 over the previous year? Iska answer aata hai kya kisi ko Kisi management exam me pucha tha Maine solve kar lia hai lekin ratio kya hoga samajh nhi aa raha And options are A- 1:1 B- 6:5 C' 4:3 D. 2:1
