XIMB: 6 Answered Questions
Are less than 60 btech graduates given admission in FMS Delhi,XLRI.XIM and JBIMS Mumbai?
FMS Delhi, XLRI, XIMB, and JBIMS are all highly regarded B-schools in India that offer postgraduate management programs. As these programs are PG courses so they require candidates to have a bachelor's degree from a recognized university.
The number of seats and admission criteria for these programs may vary from year to year and depend on factors such as the number of applicants, the performance of the applicants in entrance exams, and the selection process of each institution. Below is a table of batch sizes of all these colleges;
|
Institution |
Program |
Approximate Batch Size |
|
FMS Delhi |
MBA |
200 |
|
XLRI |
PGDM |
360 |
|
XIMB |
MBA |
360 |
|
JBIMS Mumbai |
MMS |
120 |
Although all these institutes try to keep the batch as diverse as possible still the ratio of B.Tech and non-B.Tech is highly skewed towards B.Tech. So, it is unlikely that less than 60 B.Tech graduates are admitted to these institutions. These institutions typically have a rigorous selection process, and the number of seats available is usually limited.
However, the exact number of B.Tech graduates admitted to these institutions may vary depending on the specific program and admission cycle.
What do I have to do to get a call from SP Jain or XIMB?
.jpg)
My answer will be strictly pertaining to SP Jain as my sister is a student there and I have quite a lot of information about the admission criteria there. SP Jain has unique criteria wherein almost 70% of the parameters are uncontrollable. Some of them include
- Past Academic Record
- Nature of work experience and employee brand value
- Extracurricular background
- Diversity of profile
These are some factors that are hardly in one’s control. So one should not be disappointed if she/he lacks in these aspects. Well, it is now that the factors that are controllable come into the picture. You can work on these factors and compensate for the flaws in your profile
- Prepare for CAT/XAT/GMAT to the best of your ability.
- Filling out the application form with a genuine portrayal of your personality and candidature in the fields where you are asked about your versatility, leadership quality etc.
If the stars align, you will surely get a call. From what I have heard, every PGDM batch has students with both exception profiles as well as normal profiles. So what you need to focus on is finding a unique trait of yourself and working on it relentlessly.
Which college should I prefer for Finance: XIMB BM, IMT G or IMI Delhi?
In choosing your B-school, the primary factors that you should consider are, the specialization you want to opt for and the ROI you are expecting. In your case, you want to go for Finance. The list of preferred B Schools you mentioned has similar fees and placements so I will be answering solely based on specialization.
Finance: IMI Delhi is the best choice of all the options when it comes to Finance. A premium quality crowd opts for Finance at IMI Delhi and the main reason is the customized MBA program in Finance. Many companies of the Finance sector visit the campus for placements. Finance students also avail the best opportunities and guidance and have a higher level of security than Marketing students.
However, in case you have more than 2-3 years of work experience, IMI Delhi is not a suitable option. Although you may stand out among your batchmates, the companies visiting the campus are not aware of this and offer roles suitable for less experienced students only. So your work experience may not be credited here.
The general preference order should be: IMI D>XIMB>IMT G
Can I get admission at XIMB with poor academics?
A good percentile in the Common Admission Test (CAT) or Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) can greatly increase your chances of being admitted to the Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB). These standardized tests are used as a measure of a candidate's aptitude and potential for success in a management program, and a high score can compensate for a lower academic record.
However, it is important to note that while a high CAT or XAT score can improve your chances of being admitted to XIMB, it does not guarantee admission. Other factors such as work experience, essays, and personal interviews are also considered in the admissions process. Additionally, it is also important to consider other factors like the program offerings, campus culture, and location when applying for an MBA program.
If you're unable to secure a spot at XIMB, there are other colleges with strong MBA programs that may be a good fit for you. These schools may also place more weight on other factors such as work experience, academics, and essays. It is important to research different colleges and their MBA programs, and carefully consider which one is the best fit for you.
It is also important to note that the MBA program is not only about the college's reputation, it's also about what you want to achieve in your career. So, it is important to think about your career goals before finalizing any college.
Which one should I join, XIMB BM or IIM Amritsar?
If you have to choose between XIMB and IIM Amritsar I will always suggest you go for IIM Amritsar. Apart from the IIM tag, its relentless growth is a major deciding factor. The ROI at XIMB is very less in comparison to IIM. The points below will help you understand my point.
- The fee of IIM Amritsar is INR 12 Lakhs whereas that of XIMB is INR 20 Lakhs.
- The Average package is almost similar to the 2 colleges ( IIM Amritsar- INR 14.63 LPA and XIMB- INR 15.42 LPA). So when compared to the fees XIMB has a lower ROI than IIM Amritsar.
- IIM Amritsar has witnessed fast-paced growth in recent years.
- It is the only and best MBA college in the whole of Punjab
- The batch size is smaller than that of XIMB and it’s an extra benefit when it comes to placement opportunities.
So IIM Amritsar is the best option among the 3 colleges.
Is it worth taking admission in XIMB for global mba?
First of all, no college or university can guarantee your placements. There is a placement cell in the college that takes care of placements, but Global MBA students cannot get decent placements by depending on the placement team.
Any college can only provide you with a degree and tag. To get a decent job you have to search on your own. Investing so much in Global MBA is not a good idea. Also, ROI is an important factor, which is why it is suggested that you do not invest in it.
| Categories | XIMB for Global MBA |
| Course Fee | 20.30 lakh |
| Course Duration | 2 years |
| Highest CTC | 26 LPA |
| Average CTC | 15 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Nestle, PwC, Crisil, CitiBank, etc. |
It is not worth taking admission to Xavier Institute of Management (XIMB) for a global MBA. It will only waste your money.
