Hi Everyone. Welcome to the third day in the 5 days Live Chat series. Today we will be discussing about what to look at while deciding on picking your B-school. Send me your questions and I will do my level best to answer all of them!

02:52 PM

Sure

03:02 PM

Please rate xlri with respect to iims

03:03 PM

Hi Sonakshi, which IIMs are you talking of? Also which specialisation are you planning on doing?

03:04 PM

If you speak of A,B and C then they have a very special niche. XLRI is comparable to L and K. Better than I & S and the other new IIMs.

03:06 PM

I m planning to do specialization in finance or marketing

03:08 PM

So I can assume xlri comes after iim A B and C?

03:08 PM

The major factors that goes into deciding a B-school should be Infra, peer group, alumni, placements reports, specialization, faculty credentials and Global exposure.

03:08 PM

yes. I believe thats a fair estimate.

03:10 PM

Ok thanks :)

03:10 PM

What about ximb and imi delhi?

03:11 PM

IIMA is known for consulting and IIMC is a better brand for finance.

03:12 PM

Hey Sachin, what specialisation are you looking at?

03:12 PM

Finance

03:13 PM

XIMB is best for HR but IMI is slightly preferred finance.

03:14 PM

Dept of financial studies and Delhi school of economics are also options

03:14 PM

Dept of financial studies is generally preferred over DSE, but in terms of finance I'm not sure of it.

03:17 PM

Thanks. any other options? cat percentile 98+,but no work exp. gen cat,engg,male

03:18 PM

Yeah. 98+ percentile shoud get you quite a few calls. expect MDI, new IIMs, maybe SPJain and NITIE as well if you're lucky.

03:19 PM

Any suggestions to prepare for gd-wat-pi? IIFT looks possible too

03:22 PM

although for fresher you can consider doing some certifications, like NFCM certifications.

03:23 PM

also you could look at some coursera certifications which can help with your CV.

03:25 PM

Thanks

03:25 PM

Anything else you want to know about selecting your Bschool.

03:27 PM

What about MSc Finance at JBIMS?

03:29 PM

Hi Aroop, could you please let me know if I can expect any call with the following: Expected Percentile - 94-95, Balanced Acads (90+ in 10th, 12th and B.Tech), around 8 months of work ex, general category, female.

03:31 PM

That is pretty good the MSc Finance at JBIMS.

03:32 PM

Although with your percentile you should be looking at something better.

03:34 PM

You should get MDI calls and maybe new IIM calls.

03:37 PM

IIM T vs IIM R. Which is better and why? When is T moving to its new campus and will it have any positive effect on the placements?

03:37 PM

Hey Adithya. That's an age old debate! T will be moving to the new campus with the new academic year. you can drop me your mail ID and and I can send you pictures of the hostel rooms and other facilities.

03:42 PM

Awesome! adithya.ardy@gmail.com. Thanks Aroop.

03:43 PM

And yet it should have positive effect on the placements and there we will have better facilities for the guests.

03:43 PM

My ID is aroop.p15074@iimtrichy.ac.in. In fact do drop me a mail so that I can forward you the pictures.

03:44 PM

Hey Aroop, I am looking for marketing as specialization

03:44 PM

IMT G and MDI is known for its marketing.

03:51 PM

Thanks a lot! :)

03:52 PM

Even IMI D is pretty good in terms of Marketing.

03:52 PM

Right, I will keep these options in mind. Can only speculate about the percentile right now!

03:54 PM

Yeah, true that. But its better to know which institute to aim for at a given percentile range.

03:56 PM

Any idea about Udaipur new campus completion?

03:59 PM

I believe Udaipur has recently begun to function out of the new campus. Their academic block and hostel rooms are ready.

04:01 PM

Trichy would be moving from this academic year.

04:01 PM

Any chance of getting calls from Trichy or Udaipur at 98?

04:03 PM

Yes you should be getting calls from all the new IIMs.

04:07 PM

Maybe even expect a call Kozhikode

04:09 PM

That'll great. Thanks a lot.

04:12 PM

Hi Aroop, Could you please rate XLRI TISS SIBM SCHMRD MDI IMT XIMB IIM Ranchi wrt their HR specialisation as a brand in the industry?

04:16 PM
