Is the placement record of SIBM Bangalore inflated or is it true?
Not just the SIBM Bangalore placement records, most placement records at all the B-schools are inflated by around 20-30%. The placement committee increases the average CTC to look higher than the previous year. Also, the average CTC does not include people who remain unplaced. If a student gets two offers, both are included in the average. If a student gets a high-paying off-campus placement, the colleges include it in the placements report
Even the highest package is not correct in most cases. It can be an overseas offer and may have a 5-year retention bonus added to it. So if, say, the base salary offered is 15 LPA, you will get 2 Lakhs every year if you stay for 5 years.
Details of the offers are not made public which gives liberty to the colleges to twist facts to their advantage.
To get into SIBM Bangalore for your MBA will cost you around INR 19 Lakhs. As a student in a tier 2 college, you will most probably end up with an offer of INR 7 to 9 LPA. It is rare for students to get very high packages.
This is the reality of placements that I wanted to share with you as a former placement committee member.
You can do an MBA from SIBM Bangalore however, arrive at your final decision after considering everything.
How is life at AIIMS Patna, Bhubaneswar, Bhopal, Jodhpur, Rishikesh? Is it as cool as life at AIIMS Delhi?
Life at AIIMS Delhi cannot be compared to other AIIMS as it is the mother AIIMS and will always be a notch better than others. Also, its location plays a major advantage in giving you the best college-life experience.
After AIIMS, what was fulfilled by expectations of a dynamic college life was AIIMS Jodhpur. It certainly is heaven for food lovers and has many watering openings every now and then. For everyone, there is a set criteria for a good college life and for my sister, it was one that gave her freedom and academics on the same plate. AIIMS Jodhpur ended up as the best choice fulfilling both criteria.
- AIIMS Jodhpur has a huge campus that is maintained decently and is very safe. My sister loved strolling across the campus and enjoying the serenity of the campus.
- There are many places to travel to during weekends and Rajasthan is a good option.
- AIIMS Jodhpur is known for its dynamic sports environment which is better than any other AIIMS.
- There is no ragging and harmony between seniors and juniors is a common sight.
- The college holds amazing intercollegiate sports and a cultural fest. These are well-organized and attract students from many colleges.
- The professors are cooperative and approachable so you don’t have to hesitate for getting any doubts cleared.
- Every junior is assigned a mentor either from faculty or seniors that guides them and helps them
AIIMS Jodhpur offers a splendid college life second only to AIIMS Delhi.
Can I get a department change from a BS course to a B.Tech course in IIT Kanpur?
Yes, you can get a department change from a BS course to a BTech course at IIT Kanpur. The 2 most important things to consider during branch change are
- Your CPI and the CPI of those intending for branch change in the same branch you are planning to get shifted to.
- The availability of seats in the branch you want to get shifted to.
There is an additional criterion that comes to play rarely but one should be aware of it. This is
because Students are not allowed branch change if the strength in their parent department falls below a particular number (usually 55%).
Let me explain this to you with an example. If a student wants to change their branch from Earth Sciences to Physics and fulfills all criteria; the CPI and availability of seats in Physics yet, if the strength of Earth Sciences falls below 55% his branch change application will be rejected.
So these are some important points to consider before applying for branch change.
Is it true as many as 100 students go unplaced in IMT Ghaziabad?
IMT Ghaziabad placement reports tell a different story. When the batch was as big as 640, only around 10 people were unplaced. Now with a much smaller batch, I don’t think even these many students will lose chances of placements.
Moreover, even the greatest B Schools have a few students who fail to get placed. These include the top 3 IIMs as well. This is because of the general nature of B Schools and is technically not the institution’s fault. It’s because of the tough competence within a B School.
The top B Schools are a hub of geniuses and if you are anywhere below excellent your journey inside the B School will be tough. The guidelines are tough and the professors only want perfect results. You will be under constant pressure to deliver the best you can and might even crumble if not emotionally strong if you are still unsure, check the LinkedIn profiles of IMT Ghaziabad’s alumni and check where they are working right now.
