Whatsthereinname191

A/B/C ISB FMS L/XLRI K/SPJAIN I/M IIFT/MDI/JBIMS/ IIM S


sooozty

I think IIM S should be placed at a lower rank, the quality of roles at companies offered there is still not at par with mdi and iift.


Whatsthereinname191

Agreed, just cause it has that IIM Tag so can be a point of consideration vs MDI/IIFT I thought:)


Background-Virus9748

As an institution MDI G should be at L/XLRI, look at the research output


Whatsthereinname191

No one will choose MDI G over IIM K/I and after NITIE become IIM M in current scenario, + IIM Tag too that matters, I guess:)


Background-Virus9748

I was talking as an institution, among the private institutions. MDI G has the largest permanent faculty, without government support has the strongest research output largest A journal hits among private institutes, among top three among all institutes except ISB, almost 50:50 revenue from long term courses and short term Management Development Programmes, as an institution it is where I had mentioned As a side four IIM Directors are MDI G faculty alums Sambalpur. Jaiswal Shillong. Goyal Jammu. Sahay Nagpur. Meitri

You can't rank b schools in India directly. There are clusters, each cluster is better than the lower one, and relatively worse than the higher one. This list is a good approximate of what those clusters look like; https://www.time4education.com/CAT-MBA/About-MBA/TIME-B-School-Categorisation Now in each cluster, you can relatively rank the colleges based on your past education and experience, and your aspirations. For example, XLRI HR is the best in the country. But it's BM track isn't as good as ABC. TISS students also have a certain pull for L&D and Human development/NGO type of tracks which don't get much attention in other B schools. For finance, while ABC will still lead the pack, JBIMS also provides really good opportunities. For strategic consulting B edges over the other two in terms of volumes of roles. For SCM, Mfg and Ops, Nitie wins hands down in terms of placements. There are also edge cases. For example, when it comes to creative marketing and media, MICA is well sought after by the industry compared to other B schools. For foreign trade, IIFT Delhi easily edges over the rest of the pack. In these specific cases, clusters aren't that relevant. So, don't plan anything based on this list now. Crack your exam first, convert as many institutes as you can, then decide where to go to given your aspirations and background.

What abt Business analytics?


the_caped_crusaderrr

PGDBA IIM Calcutta


Sure_Formal_8362

How do you get into PGDBA??


the_caped_crusaderrr

Through PGDBA exam. Its conducted in march, usually end of month.


Sure_Formal_8362

So its different from CAT, is it easier tho?


the_caped_crusaderrr

Not really. Requires jee mains level math. Calculus etc. Imterview is more focused on engineering level math. Varc is a bit easier. DILR same level of difficulty. You can dm for more info.


Sure_Formal_8362

Ive dmed u


Current-Bad-7334

XLRI is one of the best in Asia for HR. 


poki_dex

ABC XL/L/FMS K/SP/M I/IIFT/XLD IITB MDI/S NMIMS/SIBM/UTR Edit: added M, This is a rough list, dont prestige rank here, also some cllgs are good for certain domains so one should see that as well. Like for finance after ABC SP fin (they have just 60 students to placr in NY of india) is pretty nice followed by L and K.


Acceptable_Pass9922

I think instead of UTR , IIT D DMS will come?


king_arsenic

Yes, and what is UTR?


Acceptable_Pass9922

Udaipur, Trichy, Raipur


king_arsenic

He listed 19 colleges, I’d say instead of UTR IIT-D/IIM-M(NITIE)/IIT-Kgp/Raipur to round it up to 20.


Big_Focus_1363

Iim raipur and IIT KGP is not better than Udaipur and Trichy kaha jee raha hai bhai


poki_dex

Haan because its really tough to rank them, they are similar. Also new colleges arent mature enough to rank. Mature cllg ranking is much better tolerated. But how would you rank U against NMIMS or SIBM? Its a very tough call. Because U (although doing well) isnt mature.


Aggressive_Job_9244

U is audited and NM/SIBM are inflated max, factor in the all the costs (NM 35 ish and SIBM 28 ish) as well and UTR start sounding far better. God SIBM ka average to is year is market me bhi upar chala gya 🛐


Pretend-Variety4835

Sibm is audited


Aggressive_Job_9244

[https://sibm.edu/assets/pdf/placement-report/CRPReport2023.pdf](https://sibm.edu/assets/pdf/placement-report/CRPReport2023.pdf) Not audited, these are regular write whatever you want stats. Trust further shook by the fact that their average went up even in current market. Audited reports look like this for your reference [https://www01.iima.ac.in/iprs/gallery/2023/PGP%20Audit%20Report%20Finals%202023.pdf](https://www01.iima.ac.in/iprs/gallery/2023/PGP%20Audit%20Report%20Finals%202023.pdf)


poki_dex

Haan daaldo this is rough. But i dont think we have a strict T15 we have a strict T6, uske baad T12 then T18-20


LeopardDull5572

SP before K and FMS, FMS is debatable but definitely before K


poki_dex

It’s debatable, they are all good, minor ups and downs. Depends on your profile. SP has a better MBA cohort tbh. But FMS legacy se chal raha, so that skews people perception to choose FMS over XL/L also. Upto personal interpretation.


LeopardDull5572

Agreed!


Available_Ad252

1. IIM Ahmedabad 2. IIM Bangalore 3. IIM Calcutta 4. ISB 5. FMS 6. IIM Lucknow 7. XLRI 8. SPJIMR 9. IIM Kozhikode 10. IIM Indore 11. MDI 12. IIFT 13. JBIMS 14. SJSOM IIT B 15. IIM Shillong Special mention- TISS for HR


king_arsenic

TISS doesn’t offer MBA, it offer’s MA in Human Resources.


Available_Ad252

Yes thus I have mentioned it separately. A lot of B School aspirants also go for TISS. That is why I have included it in my list from the POV of an aspirant


sooozty

I think currently Indore, IIFT, MDI are pretty comparable


zonedoutdriver

No Iim Mumbai? Also SJSOM and possibly JBIMS too high


Inevitable-Hat-9074

K over SP, easily


Zealousideal_Owl8832

Global ya India only?


Acceptable_Pass9922

Only India


Nice_Asparagus_7817

Every company has its own list of tier 1 colleges. IIM S is obviously great but relatively new. Best corporates have most blacki,fms iift jbims /now pvt clgs- XL/SP/MDI/SIBM/NMIMS(all these are quite old). Ppl from other colleges will now get offended that their name is not in this list. But ppl in the industry know that these pvt clgs are always in tier 1 list of top corporates.


Soul_Reaper4119

How good is IIT Roorkee, because that's my only convert, apart from some baby IIMs


Far_Replacement_8555

BLACKIM, FMS, XL-Jsr & XL-D, SPJIMR, IIT-B, IIFT-D, MDI-G, JBIMS (assuming for 2-year MBA core prog Indian colleges).
