Amrita School of Business Coimbatore Answered Questions

Coimbatore is the main campus. All others are the department of management studies under schools of engineering. ASB Coimbatore also has a dedicated IBM analytics laboratory and our library system provides access to most of the top international journals and research papers which can be utilized by the students to carry out their research process. The various certifications that come as a part of the curriculum are from IBM Business Analytics, SHRM, SAP ERP, Copal Amba, Six Sigma and few more. We encourage business simulation and analytics and hence, we have made CAPSTONE Business Simulation Global challenge as a mandatory program for all students in the Strategic Management course.
Also, ASB Coimbatore has a different elective structure which makes it positioned differently and hence you see the difference in the fee structure.

To be clear on this, the schedule is tight. Usually we have classes upto 1 pm, but there would be assignments and case studies. You have got submissions with deadlines at 12 in the night. When it comes to festivities such as Gokulashtami, Onam the preparations go on full night and no one would miss that. Classes begin at 8:55 in the morning. So, chose wisely.

Hello Abin Raj,
Among these three colleges which you have as your options, the best one is XIME, Bangalore which is located at one of the best locations in Bangalore and which is having good placement records year by year, followed by XIME, Kochi and then Amrita, Coimbatore. Thus, you already have ranked them in correct order.

HI,
Amity is different from BIMM. I would suggest you Amrita University, because it is the topmost and strength is low. Usually in MBA, studying in colleges with low strength is an added advantage. Amrita is a decent brand unlike BIMM, which might not be well received beyond Pune. Faculty is also good at Amrita. Placement wise the data provided by both institutes seem same but highest salary higher in Amrita. While ASB is fully residential, BIMM is based on first come first serve basis for hostel. BIMM would be more diverse than ASB. While BIMM has students representing every corner of the country, Amrita will have around 40% from Tamil Nadu and Kerala each and remaining 20% from others. Fee is slightly higher in Amrita than BIMM. So, in my opinion, MBA from Amrita would do you good. Don't prefer management colleges with high strength. Even if not Amrita, don't join any college with huge batch size. But, Amrita, Coimbatore is definitely good.

Both PSGIM and ASB are equal and have almost same brand value for their MBA, though not comparable to their engineering courses. Both have good accreditation. If you join through TANCET, then fees for PSGIM is just Rs 4 lakhs, while through MAT or CAT scores will cost you Rs 10 lakh, while ASB fee is around Rs 11 lakhs. Both their average salaries usually range around Rs 5-6 lakhs. While Amrita has centralized placements, so if you happen to be in top 10 percent of ASB, it will be advantage than PSGIM but top 10 means it also includes students from their Bangalore and Kochi campus. ASB is slightly strict which might be uncomfortable to some. I hope my answer helps you.

There are multiple eligibility criteria's to be taken care of for joining MBA at ASB. The eligibility for UG is 50%, this means you have satisfied this UG score criteria. Other criteria's include your CAT/XAT/GMAT/GRE and your performance in the interview. MAT scores are accepted in all other campuses except ASB Coimbatore. Good luck!

The answer is a definite No. The basis of selection are your UG grades, your percentile score in CAT/XAT/GMAT/GRE and performance in the interview. MAT score is not accepted in Coimbatore campus. From the placement point of view, some companies which come to the campus insist on valid reasons for them to be convinced with regards to this. Good luck!
