Hey,

Abundant of alumina from IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Lucknow are doing great for the nation's development. Various Post Graduate Programme in Agribusiness Management (PGP-ABM)  graduates are executives of several companies. And In my opinion the graduates from such Institution where there is 100% placement stats are obviously doing something great for the nation as well as for themselves.

Hello,

Anurag Kashyap is one of the Alumina of IIM Ahmedabad, he has done his Post Graduate Programme In Food and Agri-business Management (PGP-FABM) graduation in 2018. He is currently working as Senior Procurement Manager with FRAAZO. He is very much Agribusiness Passionate, Philanthropist, Blogger and Poet.

Hi,

This a case which has two situations. Lets get by them one by one:

Summer Placements

While most of the firms are open for all students at these institutes, there are some roles/firms that require some minimum work experience. Some of the names include LEK Consulting, Alvarez and Marsal. These firms put a minimum work experience criteria of around 20 months. Though the entire process for these firms is the same, the students not meeting the work experience criteria simply can’t apply through the internship portal

Final Placements (Laterals)

During the final placements, many firms bring multiple roles on campus. The roles that are meant for students with work experience are offered during the Lateral Placement drive, which is separate from the Final placement that is open to all. There are many firms bringing in senior roles at this stage and the process of laterals is different from finals. Some institutes even provide the flexibility of salary negotiations, role discussions etc.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

A very interesting story I found online:

Scene: Understanding People and Organizations, known as UPO (a course that contained way too much theory for most people to stomach, produced several agents for the "sleeper cell") taught by Prof Vishal Gupta. The guy sitting behind me had been deep asleep for the last fifteen minutes, and we had all been stifling our laughter at the sight of it.

Background: This prof was exceedingly friendly, and would never lose his temper. Even if the class was breaking out into chaos, he'd just raise his voice ever so slightly and we'd all quiet down in moments - you could say he was firm yet friendly.

He glanced at the sleeper behind me, then told the person next to him with a seemingly alarmed smile:

Please wake him up before he falls off his seat!

When he woke up with a start, the prof genially smiled at him and sent him to wash his face. Henceforth, in every class of his he would cast a quick glance at him and ask him whether he was awake! :P
--------
Scene: Marketing-II class (which was to be taught by Prof Dheeraj Sharma)

Exactly on time, instead of Prof Sharma, in walks Prof Sanjay Verma.
Background: Prof Sanjay Verma was from the information sciences department.

For a few seconds, we all sat silent, trying to understand the anomaly. He looked around and announced nonchalantly:

"You were expecting Amitabh Bacchan, instead you got Prem Chopra!"

------
Last one
------
Scene: There was once a meeting organised between the PGP1s, the PGP2s and Profs Pavan Mamidi and Ankur Sarin. This had been to discuss difficulties we had been facing in the rigorous system WIMWI is so notorious for (yes, the struggle is real.)

Background: One of the complaints, in simple terms, was that the PGP1s and 2s were not bonding well enough despite many activities intended to improve this camaraderie. Also, for those who don't know, Gujarat is a dry state (so liquor is officially illegal)

Prof Mamidi, upon hearing this complaint from the PGP2s, did a facepalm and remarked to the PGP2s present:

How hard is it to bond with someone? Just get together, smoke up, have a drink and everyone's peaceful!

Hope it helps.

Hi,

The EPGP program at IIM BANGALORE is designed for students of management who can directly apply their learning in a leadership role in the industry and sponsored candidates may be preferred. Academically it's almost as demanding as a PGP but with more casework and class discussion. It is an intensive one-year residential programme created specifically for professionals with remarkable track records and 5 to 12 years of work experience in a wide range of industries.

Eligibility:

• Graduate in any discipline with a minimum of 50% marks or equivalent CGPA,
• Minimum 5 years (and preferably less than 12 years) of work experience after completion of graduation
• A valid GMAT or GRE score.
• A Statement of Purpose (SOP) that enables the students to highlight their future goals and achievements
• Two references (on-line), preferably one from the current employer or from an individual who is in a position to evaluate job performance.

All the applications with the Statement of Purpose are reviewed and candidates are shortlisted based on various criteria. Shortlisted candidates will be called for Personal interview.

Hope it helps

Hi,

While there is no clear cut comparison between the two institutes as both institutes are really good in every aspect, there lies a few distinct things about each you should know:

IIMA’s flagship program is 2 year PGDM whereas 1-year PGPX is not the flagship program of IIMA. Hence if you are comparing ISB's flagship one year MBA program with 1 year program of IIMA, it is not a logical comparison. Generally, non-flagship programs are not given that much importance as compared to the flagship program.

Although the choice is simple, If you're a fresher and looking for an MBA, you should go for IIMA. But if you have 2–3 years of experience ISB would be a better option.

Hope it helps.

Hello ,

IIM A, B,C are the top 3 B-schools in the country and even they come under the top 200 global ranking with IIM A at 46 th , IIM B at 50th , IIM C at 79 th rank . The best way to go to abroad like USA is through the consulting jobs , the companies in sector  of Management Consulting like Accenture Strategy , Boston Consulting , Monitor Deloitte and many more will hire you and they will send you abroad for their work after you complete your traing , surely after your training they will ask you that in which country you want to go , and you will give them your options but the real problem is that if you have to give more than one country for your preference and they might sent you in your preferred country but this does not happen all the time as there are many competitors for USA , so it would be really tough to get there , so anything can happen .

Also direct placements are also there for abroad  , but there is very less chance in getting USA , because the company might place you in any country .

So yes you can get placed but chances are very less , as in today's date , getting US work permit is also difficult .

Hope it helps ,

Thanks
