Shiksha Top Questions

Group discussions and presentations are an integral part of the MBA curriculum in any business school. Be it a premier institute or Tier II college, there are a lot of presentations and Group discussions. The number also depends on the college and the student to some extent. Talking about the average, we can say that a student has to give around 25 to 30 presentations throughout the two-year course. It also depends on the course structure and the professor but let us ignore it.
Group discussions are used by companies to differentiate between the exam sitters and future employees. So commonly Group discussions take place during the placement season. Besides the placement season, students can take part in informal group discussion sessions conducted by the institute or themselves to prepare for the real ones. So the number is less and is around 7-8.

Until a decade before, IIMs were the most desired B-schools. In 2009, things started to change with the opening of several new IIMs, starting with IIM-Rohtak, and followed by more, in Ranchi, Raipur, Trichy, Kashipur, Udaipur, Nagpur and six other cities. While this means that the aspirants have an elevated chance of getting admission, the value of brand IIM has been eroded in the method. The new IIMs have not been able to match the standards of the older ones on various parameters, including the quality of faculty/students, infrastructure, as well as ability to attract top recruiters.
Apart from quality education and research work of students and faculty, the older IIMs had been valued chiefly for the high-paying jobs their students got. This led to high expectations from the newer IIMs too. The reality has turned out to be contrary.
The newest IIM Jammu, IIM Bodh Gaya and a few others still have to get a campus. Though faculty shortage is affecting nearly every B-school, the situation is worse in the new IIMs, partly due to their geographical location.
So I think the government should focus on developing the older ones instead of opening new IIMs.

The opportunity for students in this campus is very vast. Techno India University is an average college which offers better education. The quality of education is good.
Some of the major recruiters are:
ADB, AMERICAN EXPRESS, TVS, WIPRO, CISCO, L&T, FLIPKART, AMAZON, SONY, L&G, DEOLITE, INFOSYS, KPMG, EMC2, UBER, BRITANNIA, BRIDGESTONE, MRF, THOMSON AND RETURE, etc.
The average package is 4.5 LPA. This year highest package went as high as 16 LPA by Microsoft, then 14 LPA by Accenture, also to few students 10-12 LPA, then at 9 LPA, 13 students were placed at Microsoft, Deloitte and few startup companies offered 6-7 LPA packages and then comes the major recruiter TCS, which offered an average of 3.6 LPA package to hundreds of students.
This campus has a good placement cell with international Tie-ups. So I suggest you to go with this campus.

BBA from Bharathiar University is not a good option for you. A lot of students clear each year from this college and try to enter into the corporate world. Bharathiar University is one of the oldest university. The major drawback of this university is that almost all the students easily clear from Bharathiar (BBA exams) as the clearing cutoff is 35%.
The quality of education along with large number of students passing out is creating a major minus in career of students. BBA from Bharathiar University is opted by most students who just need a Bachelor's certificate. The quality of placement and other opportunities like foreign opportunities are very less.
So I'd suggest you not to opt this university for your career.

Sorry to disappoint you my friend but it won't help much.
First of all for getting B Schools outside India you need minimum experience of around 5 years. Foreign B-Schools don't accept freshers. So first look into that. CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) is certifications for those who are looking to get into money/asset management. If you are looking to work as an equity research analyst of portfolio manager and other such jobs then CFA can help. But again there are 3 levels of CFA. For it to be of any use you need to clear at least two levels then only you would have enough knowledge to work as an equity research analyst or other such jobs. So CFA alone won't help.
If you are already in finance sector and trying to change job or climb up the ladder then it may be a bit helpful. They will give lot of experience to your job experience as such. So do thorough research of requirements of the top B-schools and then make a well informed decision. There is no point doing CFA just for sake of adding something to your resume.

Hello,
IIM's are still in the phase of earning a recognition for their 1-year program. I would rank ISB as the top most choice for the same. It is ranked under top 30 colleges for doing MBA from around the world. The program, course structure, faculty and post-MBA placements are excellent in ISB and have been a threat to all major IIM's one year MBA programs.
While getting into ISB's one year program is extremely difficult, it is comparatively easy to get into EPGP of IIM B. The second choice would be SP Jain. While ISB is pretty much ahead of SP Jain with respect to the above parameters, SP Jain is slowly catching up with the top colleges around the world. SP Jain is too ranked under top 30 colleges in the world to do an MBA from.
If you are really looking for a one year MBA, then please consider ISB and SP Jain as your top choices, and in an extreme case, consider IIM B EPGP.
