How tough is IIM Indore IPM program entrance?

RJ
Rohan Jain Posted On : January 2nd, 2023
Selected for the IIM IPM '18

Math Section

This section is the trickiest as the given Maths problems are difficult even for the Maths students let alone the nin math students. The key lies in the approach to the question which is not at all easy. The questions can be asked from any topic and from any level. You need to be exceptionally talented at least for this section.

English Section

Try to attempt this section first as the questions are quite lengthy. But this section is comparatively easy, you can surely clear it. 

Overall, the paper pattern is definitely tricky, after all, it is IIM, and the competition needs to be tough.

How is MAKAUT (AKA WBUT) ? Is it a good technical university or a shoddy one?

SR
Shweta Roy Posted On : June 22nd, 2023
Lives in Calcutta

I had a word with my sister studying at MAKAUT and she shared her experience of a 5th sem lab exam on the Design and Analysis of Algorithms. 

The exam was for 100 marks and the syllabus comprised the following topics; Bubble sort, Selection sort, Quick sort, Merge Sort, Fractional Knapsack problem, Heap sort, and Implementation of Floyd Warshall’s algorithm. Except for the last topic, the entire syllabus was like that of a first-year student. It wasn't challenging, rigorous, and on par with the industry standards. In fact, anyone with basic knowledge of programming would have been able to give this exam.

The institute has this paper set for the final year. Things at MAKAUT are more disappointing than they seem. After conducting such monotonous and easy exams they expect the students to sit for interviews by big companies. And here we are, in the penultimate year with less than a year left for job interviews, doing things that we are expected to do in the first year itself.

I will leave the rest for you to ponder upon whether MAKAUT is a good technical university or not.

Which has the best program for rural management, XIMB, IRMA, or the Indian Institute of Rural Management at Jaipur?

VP
Vishal Patil Posted On : March 10th, 2023
Studied MBA in Human Resource Management at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (Graduated 2019)

IRMA seems to have it all - top faculty, great infrastructure, excellent campus, and extensive exposure. It is well known for its specialization in Rural Management and becomes the best choice when it comes to RM aspirants. Before I go on, let me clarify a much common misconception about the Rural Management and Development Sector. The assumptions that the pay in the Development sector is extremely low and IRMA provides no corporate exposure are outright false. 

I know a friend who gave up a scholarship at another B School for Rural Management at IRMA. He made this decision despite knowing it will be more hectic because of the 3 field components unlike 1 in the case of other B Schools. 

There is an additional social sector course like Rural Society and Polity for instance. The main purpose of these courses is to broaden your tour horizon as IRMA serves the majority of the Indian population living in villages, who have a different set of problems and require a different type of thinking to solve them.

IRMA has 2 camps - pro-market and pro-development that respect each other. Such harmony leads to a better understanding of both pros and cons, and students can initiate a response to an emerging economy.

This field required an emphatic and sensitive attitude with monetary benefits not being the primary goal. The earning capacity is not exactly poor and the placement figures reveal 100% opportunities. Additionally, IRMA’s Social Entrepreneurship Cell is a haven for future entrepreneurs.

IRMA boasts of a rich alumni culture because they take pride in being an IRMAn which was possible after multiple efforts and hard work. The alumni connection ensures constant motivation and advice shared based on real-life experiences.

Overall IRMA offers a roller coaster of experiences you won’t forget in your entire life.

How and when did the rivalry between IIM Calcutta and XLRI Jamshedpur start?

AM
Akriti Mittal Posted On : April 17th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (2020)

IIM Calcutta and XLRI Jamshedpur have a protracted rivalry that spans back several decades. The rivalry's beginnings can be found in the 1960s when both institutes were founded.

The first management institute to be founded with government assistance in India was IIM Calcutta, which opened its doors in 1961. The Society of Jesus founded the XLRI in Jamshedpur, which is one of India's oldest management institutions, in 1949. 

IIM Calcutta and XLRI Jamshedpur have established a reputation as two of India's top management schools throughout the years. IIM Calcutta places a lot of emphasis on marketing and finance, whereas XLRI Jamshedpur places a lot of emphasis on human resources management.

Students and alumni from both institutes frequently engage in friendly competition and banter, making the rivalry between the two institutions mostly a friendly one. The competitiveness between the colleges is particularly pronounced during activities like business quizzes, debates, and other intercollegiate contests.

Is MBA hard to study?

SG
Sakshi Gupta Posted On : March 7th, 2022
B.Tech at Delhi University (2019)

Getting admission to a decent management program can be grueling. But pursuing the course is not that difficult. I know many people from different academic backgrounds, who completed their MBAs at the top 20% of their class. 

Although it depends on individuals and how they face challenges. As the name suggests MBA is all about management of time, resources, people, situations. Try to understand the practical aspects of the subjects you study in your course and the course work will eventually become easy. Interacting with teachers and peers, reading current affairs regularly can help you a lot with your studies.

What is difference between SSB, CDSE and AFCAT?

SS
Sachin Shilp Posted On : February 15th, 2021
B.Eng from Vellore Institute of Technology

My cousin qualified for the AFCAT (Air Force Common Admission Test) exam in 2018 into the AFSB which is an acronym for Air Force candidates. Basically, it is just the first step, including the CDSE which is the short form of the Combined Defence Service Exam. So these exams work as a filter in letting the best candidates come to the surface, these then go to the SSB/AFSB. 

Here are some key points on the process-

  • Candidates who join the army or navy are termed 'SSB', and those who join the Air Force are called 'AFSB'.
  • AFCAT is the exam by and for the Air force when there is a requirement of staff for general duty, technical, flying, logistics, or administration. It is conducted bi-annually in the months of March and August and is the only other mode of entry into the Air force apart from CDSE.
  • The process remains the same for all these agencies during the first few days. After clearing the first step, your scores are sent to the headquarters and you'll have to qualify for the PABT test, in case you've chosen the flying branch. Alternatively, you'd have to qualify for a basic knowledge test for the groundwork.
  • If you qualify and reach SSB (Service Selection Board), you'll be a participant in another filtration process of which only 80 out of 300 candidates will be selected.

If you wish to become an officer in the three defense forces, you'd have to submit a clearance by SSB or AFSB. If you're selected through the CDSE and NDA, then you'll be given the Permanent commission (PC) and if you have qualified AFCAT, then you'll get selected for Short Service Commission (SSC). Although, sometimes technical and non-technical staff go through the AFCAT only (not through CDSE) and they get through PC.

Note that if you fail PABT, your flying dreams are over, as far as IAF is concerned. So be careful there, you'll need a lot of patience and resilience to go through the process.
