Why do people flock to IIM Lucknow and leave SPJIMR and FMS, when IIML teaches management like engineering whereas SPJIMR and FMS have a more conducive environment to actually learn? They also get the
By ‘teaches Management like Engineering’ I assume what you mean is Management studies at IIM Lucknow are more strict, mundane, and repetitive. In this regard, I refuse to accept your claim as the reality is far from this.
People graduating from these institutes are youngsters with an age group of 20-25 so there is very little impact of the institutes' pedagogy on the learner’s ability to learn. These candidates are likely to be more serious regarding their growth and even sacrifice the fun of a typical B School life just to reach new heights. Anyone with such a mindset is likely to fare well anywhere irrespective of the choice of Institute.
I am going to specifically pinpoint the scenario at FMS because there is a general conception that FMS has a relatively chilled ambiance. The truth is I have seen many students working tremendously hard in their 2 years. They explore much more than academics and take part in many extracurricular activities because they know it’s their last opportunity before they enter the corporate world. The attendance rules although stricter than that at IIM Lucknow are no direct indication of the general discipline and the rigor of the curriculum. Every institute has its own tailored learning environment and it’s up to the students to make the most out of it.
People just ‘flock’ to a particular B School because of the sheep mentality. Rather their decisions are based on continuous analysis of various factors like tags, peer group, intended specialization, placement opportunities, personal goals.
Is there any problem faced by non-Punjabis at Thapar University?
It’s true that Thapar University has a maximum Punjabi population because of its location. But this certainly does not mean that non-Punjabis feel out of place here. In fact, one of my friends from UP claimed that most of his friends are Punjabis because they are truly genuine and would help you in any way possible. Even the locals are very friendly and you won’t feel left out even for a moment.
I have many friends at Thapar University who are non-Punjabis but haven’t ever faced any kind of discrimination or discomfort there.
Moreover, Thapar has strict rules and regulations regarding the consumption of drug substances. Thapar has a Zero Tolerance Policy for Drugs and Alcohol on the University Campus.
So rest all your worries and come to Thapar University already!
My IHM rank is 503. I have been allotted IHM Mumbai. Will I be able to get IHM Pusa in the second round or the spot counselling round?
It depends on your category. Since you have gotten IHM Mumbai with a rank of 503, it’s safe to assume you are from the general category. So, there are good chances that you will get IHM Pusa. You should wait till the spot round.
Otherwise, IHM Mumbai is a decent alternative. You will get to learn a lot there.
Should I take admission in IIM Shillong this year or prepare again next year?
If you want to target ABC L, having a 70% BE may be a concern. However, it's important to consider your risk appetite and the rationale behind pursuing an MBA. Some people may choose to wait and apply to higher-ranked IIMs, while others may decide to take the risk and apply to a school like IIM Shillong. It's also worth considering that getting into a college with better rankings can be a great feeling, but you should also weigh the risk and return of your decision.
It might be helpful to consider the pros and cons of different options and try to get a bigger picture of your goals before making a decision. Keep in mind that some people with lower GMAT scores or undergraduate grades have been able to get into top schools like Kellogg's and Michigan, while others have been successful in technical fields without pursuing an MBA. Ultimately, it's important to consider your individual circumstances and make a decision that is right for you.

How hard is it to get admission into Pondicherry University for an MSc in statistics?
Actually, it is quite the contrary. It is quite easy to convert to Pondicherry University even if you are a little serious about your studies.
- The university conducts its own entrance test every year. You need to clear the test to get admission here.
- For the test, you need to be moderately prepared (depending on the level of the student) and practice the last 4-5 years of the question paper. The level is easy
- Most people aim for the IITs, IISc, and ISI Kolkata before joining this university if they do not get a chance there. You can get an idea of the level of the university.
The course is good with excellent faculty and a good study environment, more freedom and no academic or social pressures. So it would be a wise decision to join here if you do not get the top colleges.
