Are the profiles different for students from top 6 iims, new iims and private schools?
02:35 PM
Nikhil Murthy
Yes they are different. The difference is a little substantial between the old IIMs and the new ones.

What's the difference between the profiles and packages offered at IIM I and A, B & C?
02:35 PM
Nikhil Murthy
1. The difference is small. Average package at IIMI is 14 LPA, while that at IIM A,B&C would be around 17-18. But, again the batch size of IIM I is the largest, because of which the average comes down. 2. In terms of profiles, it is small again. Good profiles come to IIM I as well, which come to A,B&C, but they may not be offered by the best firm for that profile. Otherwise, IIM I and K has almost similar placements as A,B&C.

How do the I-banking roles vary in IIM-I and say XLRI ?
02:36 PM
Nikhil Murthy
Not much variation. If, you check the placements reports of both, you will find one or two better roles going to XLRI.

How much the margin of difference between top iims and new iims in terms of education, and scope after MBA ?
02:38 PM
Nikhil Murthy
1. Education there may not be a huge difference, because there are visiting profs, from the top IIMs who teach at the new IIMs. And, also the New IIMs are mentored by the old ones, which assists in maintaining the education standards. 2. Scope after MBA, there is a difference. The old ones have better placements and a better brand name in the industry. So, on your resume an Old IIM would have more importance. But, at your workplace, it just depends on your performance. Not much importance is given to where you graduated from.

Can we join new iims instead of private schools like mdi, xlri to get iim tag? Because one of my friend from a new iim didn't get summer placement
02:42 PM
Nikhil Murthy
I don't think its a good idea. The new IIMs are yet to build a brand name, which will take some time. So, as of now top private schools are better.

do the pre-set cut offs set by various IIMs change later depending upon the result ?
02:44 PM
Nikhil Murthy
I don't think so. Even it happens, the change will be very narrow.

How do you rate Student Exchange Programme at IIM I compared to A, B, C, L, K?
02:45 PM
Nikhil Murthy
I,L and K would have the same rating. A,B and C have a few tie-ups which are excellent, something like maybe the best university in Germany. So, the difference between I,LK and A,B,C is small.

at what standard, XIMB and IMT are compared to the new IIMs ? which one is preferable for good career ?
02:59 PM
Nikhil Murthy
1. XIMB and IMT are better in a way when compared to the new IIMs. 2. For career prospects, they are almost similar. But, it depends the sort of career you want, XIMB has better HR profiles.

between new iims and institutes like iift, nmims, sibm pune.. which one is the better to join... private b school or new iim... and what is the difference between both in terms of placements and long term career opportunities
03:01 PM
Nikhil Murthy
1. Private institutes like IIFT, NMIMS, SIBM are better 'for now', till the new IIMs build their brand names. 2. The private colleges mentioned above have better career prospects and placements, because they are old and have maintained connections with firms from a substantial amount of time now. This gives them an advantage.

Hi Nikhil.Wat about the difference between nmims blore and Mumbai.and also between iift ,symbiosis,and newiims,nmims??
03:07 PM
Nikhil Murthy
1. NMIMS Mumbai is better. The Bangalore one is new, but otherwise also the Mumbai is better. 2. If you want to get into fin the IIFT is a good option, Symbiosis is good for marketing. Both these are better than new IIMs and NMIMS. NMIMS has huge batch size, hence I would chose the other over NMIMS.

Do all the companies that visit campuses have criteria for academics in 10th, 12th and graduation... asking because i want to judge what happens to people with a very poor academic profile... had a very distressing talk with some seniors.. can you shed any light on this ?
03:12 PM
Nikhil Murthy
1. Not all companies. But, the ones which don't focus on work experience. 2. Nothing to worry as such. There are people with average or bad acads, who got good offers. You can compensate on other resume points.

Which course should I apply for in XIMB ? BM or HRM? Are both the courses worth the money ?
03:16 PM
Nikhil Murthy
I would select BM. Because if you can move to HR later even if take BM. I always feel specialization in business studies don't make a huge difference given the vastness of the domain. But, if you are sure of getting into HR then go for HRM.

Tanvi Jagarlamudi Which iim gives much importance to profiles?Do we get calls if we have percentile around 90-95% in general category?
03:30 PM
Nikhil Murthy
1. A, B, and L give importance to profiles. 2. I'm skeptical about 90-95 with general category and a good profile, for A,B and C. L, I and K you have a chance.
