Is there any bias against IPM students during placements in IIM Indore? Are they considered equal to PGP students?

A
Aman Posted On : January 2nd, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Indore (Graduated 2018)

Yes, there indeed is a certain level of bias that IPM students face during the placement process. But the reason is well justified. Being a newly established course, IPM lacks the certainty of success. The industries are only gradually developing their trust towards this course over the years. So the recruiters are still a bit hesitant in investing in an IPM student.

But if you look at the figures, you can see that the course has been gaining trust and climbing the ladder drastically over the past few years. Also, I don’t think it’s justifiable to draw a comparison between a 7-year-old program that has already been recognized (PGP) to a newly established course (IPM).

People usually compare these 2 programs because they see IPM as a means to join IIM by escaping CAT. This is not the case at all. IPM is much more than that. It needs no comparison to any other program. It is a full-fledged integrated course that is way ahead of other undergrad or integrated courses across the nation both in terms of the kind of education it offers and the placements.

How can I get through the interview/GD round of IIMC (Indian Institute of Mass Communication)?

AS
Anurag Sharma Posted On : January 20th, 2021
IIMCian

The interview experience for IIMC varies from candidate to candidate, but there are certain aspects that get repeated very often and are asked to most candidates. Having a good enough idea about one’s own subject and being confident is the first necessity.

The points listed below are some basic highlights of the interview/GD round of IIMC, Delhi.

  • The interview does not go on for long. Maximum candidates have a 15-20 minutes discussion. For some candidates, it is seen to stretch for long if the panel wants.
  • The interviewer asks about the candidate's interests, educational background, work experience, and the candidate's vision to achieve his/her goal and expectations from IIMC for the same.
  • Generally, panelists ask similar questions more than once, in different manners, to check the authenticity of your answers. They may or may not ask any technical questions.
  • The motive of the panel is not to judge how much information you already have. They select candidates who want to make the best use of the 9 months of course and resources.
  • The interview revolves around questions like “why should we select you”, discussion on recent ad campaigns and their impact, your hobbies, expectation from the IIMC course.
  • Read the newspaper thoroughly on the day of the interview. There will be a question from it.

Being confident and honest is the ultimate strategy. It is better to assess what the panel wants, and answer accordingly.

How do we transform from NIT, Trichy to be student friendly?

SP
Sribatsa Pathy Posted On : May 22nd, 2021
B. Tech from National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (2018)

NIT Trichy has one of the most beautiful campuses and transforming it into a friendly campus just gives a kind of skeptical feeling. I would like to share with you one of my cousin’s experiences, who recently passed out from NIT Trichy.

  • He told me how strict the faculty and admin are in NIT-T. 
  • The teachers are supposed to maintain a strict student-teacher relationship. 
  • While the admin is friendly enough to the students.

He says if NIT-T has to become more student-friendly, efforts have to be made by everyone. Be it students, faculty members, or the admin. The list includes the following:

  • Being organized and presenting the difficulty you face. 
  • Come up with appropriate solutions to tackle it.You should present your ideas.
  • You must realize the students of NIT-T are its true asset and that a student-friendly environment is quintessential for their all-round development.
  • The faculty should be the first to lend a helping hand to students and interact.
  • Teachers need to realize that they are not merely to teach but to motivate students.
  • Yes, many have complaints regarding admin being cold and harsh and less interactive or none. 
  • But, action has to be taken by keeping the students as the highest priority without compromising the ideology of NIT-T.

There is a bit of light air since the new Director is appointed in NITT. Now, this is the apt time for all of you to put forward your creative and ingenious ideas which will change NITT for the better.

Is there a management quota offered by Fergusson College for FYBA admissions?

AR
Akansha Rao Posted On : September 28th, 2021
Studied at Fergusson College,Pune (2018)

Yes, some of the first-year courses at Fergusson have a management quota. Generally, it is 15% of all seats. Although the cut-off is not very huge for Fergusson so you may get an admission based on merit itself. You may have to wait till the third or fourth list but it is definitely possible and doable.

This donation amount varies from college to college, the more popular the college the bigger the donation amount. Private colleges in India have some seats reserved for the management quota. This could be anywhere between 5-20%. 

Admission to these seats is made on the decision of the college and their selection criteria. Management Quota is for those students, who are unable to get admission through the entrance examinations.
