IIM Lucknow - Indian Institute of Management Answered Questions

It is difficult to compare as one cannot personally know both colleges very well. I can give you some insights about IIM Lucknow, though.
Campus- The campus is beautiful, with every possible amenity that would be required. Huge library, spacious rooms, gym, swimming pool, sports ground/court, etc.
Food- IIM Lucknow mess food is good. I think you can compare any college's food with ours and we will win for sure!
Academics- No doubt IIM Lucknow is better.
Placements- Again, there is no match!
Probably, your field of interest might help you compare the two colleges. Taking opinions from any student of SP JIMR might help as well.

MBA from IIM Lucknow is a good experience I would say. One cannot ask for less or more, in terms of education, extra-curricular, industry interactions, faculty, amenities, and most importantly food. The scope, I would say, is endless. It depends from person to person and not on the campus alone. Apart from placements, the campus has witnessed budding entrepreneurs too. The college will definitely give you the right direction to think and make way for yourself. As far as campus placements are concerned, one can take up jobs in Marketing, Finance, IT, Consulting, HR, Systems, Data Analytics, etc.

As of now, you must focus on your studies and get good grades, while you are doing your under-graduation. For CAT prep, make reading books, news, article as a daily habit. Also keep a good command over your communication skills, if you feel there is scope for it. I think this will do as of now. You may take up CAT class later on.

If you have work experience, then you should be in a position to answer anything that they ask you about your job. Have a look at the major current affairs and form your opinions on that. Other than that, prepare questions like tell me something abt yourself, strengths and weaknesses( with examples from each). You should know about your college courses, if you passed out 1-2 years ago. Also, practise GDs. We were given a topic, where we had a wat first, and then a gd on the same topic.

Hi,
Any IIM does not offer distance MBA or PGPM programme however they offer 1 year online management programme which are not equivalent to mBA and does not help to get a better job prospects. However, from knowledge gaining point of view they are good.
You should be ideally a graduate with 3+ years work experience to pursue such programme and they cost around 4.5 lakhs Rs. You need to attend weekend classes available in most of the cities
