Is it worth leaving a government job for IIM?

pdwords Student Expert 27th Dec, 2021

Hello,

The answer to your question to a large extent depends on your aspirations, are you happy with your current job, government job definitely provides a financial stability, and this is still a huge thing for lot of people, especially in this time of pandemic, however choosing to go for IIM has altogether different thought process for example are you thinking about shifting to corporate world,  what are your aspirations for the same, why do you want to do MBA and that too from IIM, there is huge competition when it comes to applying for IIM, and your selection too is dependent on various factors such as CAT scores, academic records, your experiences, overall profile etc are taken into consideration regarding this, hence you need to think clearly on this matter what do you want, if you're aiming for a career shift into corporate world, then you have to let go of the financial security of your government job, can you afford to do this or not is entirely your call, hence you need to think in terms of various parameters regarding this, and accordingly decide the same.

Why do government is raising fees of IIM and IIT to sky high?

Ria Bafna 27th Dec, 2021

Hey aspirant

As IIT is a top priority institute where students hope to gain admission. As a National Priority College, the government previously subsidised every student so heavily that the financial burden on students was reduced with scholarship assistance. However, students never pay back to society and the economy as intended by either flying to developed countries or profit-oriented thinking. Another issue is that we spend less than 2% of GDP on research, so IIT cannot survive on their own...they require funds for research as well as administration.

Solutions include the government increasing funding for IITs and IITs collaborating with industry for research grants... and students passing through contribute in some way to society and the college

All the best

Why dont IIM graduates join government firms?

pdwords Student Expert 27th Dec, 2021

Hello,

The sole purpose of doing MBA by joining IIMs is simply the pay package and the career advancements that candidates aspire for, it's prevalent in MNCs only in India as well Internationally, there are of course recruitments done by PSUs, or even in banking sector of public and private  for MBA graduates,  there are also IIM graduates who appear for UPSC CSE, it's a very individual choice what one prefers to do after passing out from IIM, but most common reason for MBA is working in corporate world, or some have their own start-up, so this varies among individuals and their aspirations.

Can I get a government job after passing through IIM?

Ria Bafna 27th Dec, 2021

Hey aspirant,

Yes you can.

Civil services are the most sought-after job in India for any young man.

SSC: The popularity of SSC-CGL is growing by the day, owing to the good pay package and less stressful working conditions.

Banks: IIM graduates can also apply for RBI-Grade 'B' exams and specialised positions in various government banks.

PSUs: Public sector organisations (PSUs) such as ONGC, BEL, and NTPC hire for specialised positions on a limited basis. The timing of the vacancies must be kept in mind at all times.

Consultant: Even if one is working for MNCs, Big 4, and so on, if he is interested in working with the government, he can work as a consultant in various departments. The government places a high value on the recommendations of these consultants.

Internship: To gain firsthand experience of real politics, one can work as an intern in election campaigning for political parties. They provide stipends.

Can an IIM student get placement in government companies?

piyush singh 10th Dec, 2021

Hello, I hope you are doing well

There are a few government companies that do come to IIMs once in a while. So yes you can get placement in those PSUs, but frankly speaking these companies only visit when private companies do not hire as much as they do normally.

Some of the placement people then target government companies, but there are a very few who aspire to join a governmental organization, or else they would have prepared for civil services instead of CAT.

Hope it helps.

sadafreen356 17th Jan, 2022

Hello,

It is true that more than 90+ percentage in academics will get call from IIM if they score 90+ percentile in CAT but Average academic record is not a barrier in getting IIM.your marks is not good but not that poor either try to score more than 99 percentile to get call from top IIMs.if you score 97 percentile you can get call from old IIM'S like IIM lucknow,IIFT,FMS DELHI.

Instead of pondering over which college you get focus more on your studies to score as much as you can to get top b schools.

hey . i am expecting 55-60 percentile in cat . i am from st catagory . what are the chances to get an iim call ?

Himanshu Joshi 8th Dec, 2021

Hi Pranav,

At that percentile Chances of getting a call from OLD IIMs( i. e. Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcuta, Lucknow, Kozhikode, Indore) seem to be slim. However, you will most probably get calls from NEW IIMs and baby IIMs. In the meantime, You can build your profile and increase your chances of converting your calls.

ALL THE BEST:)
