International Management Institute

Firstly let me tell you that in these dynamic times, PGDM is your best option. There are many reasons attached but the most important one is, its a course that makes you industry-ready. I have seen many institutes in my lifetime, and have had friends studying in all Tier 1 colleges, but we would always talk about one thing, how PGDM is the future of management. Having studied at IMIK, I know it is an amazing institution. IMI family of institutes have 35 years of legacy which speaks volumes about the institution and the kind of education it provides. It fosters growth and critical thinking in individuals and ultimately gives them a purpose so that they do their best in the management field. You know that there are so many options around you, so why will IMI Kolkata be any different? But let me tell you that you can only know once you speak to them. In my time, I had a chance to speak with the programme director who changed my perception about IMI Kolkata in 10 minds. That is how good they are. Talking about KSOM, Bhubaneswar, I feel that they lack a certain quality that is very important for a B-School. The hype for KSOM, Bhubaneswar honestly is false and not substantial. Having said that, I believe that you should do your own research and come up with questions. Let the Institutes guide you!

You have named three of the best colleges in the country. But being an alumni of IMI Kolkata, and having made a career in a reputed organisation, I would say IMI Kolkata would be my pick. The location of IMI Kolkata is one of the best things about the institute. Kolkata is a beautiful city. It was the capital of the country in the British Raj and it is proof that it is strategically one of the best business places. IMI Kolkata is not just located at a very important place, it is also the home to the country most intelligent people as faculty. These people have their papers published in journals of national and international repute. Some might say that IMI Kolkata is best because of its placements, and that is one of the reasons. TOI says, the highest package offered was 20.7 LPA which was made by JSW. The average package of top 50 percentile students stood at 8.55 LPA The great lab facilities, ICT classrooms, a vast library, with more than 6100 books are great perks too. When it comes to Finance, skilling and reskilling are of utmost importance. You can choose to specialize in Finance or take a course in PGCFM. Post Graduate Certificate in Financial Markets (PGCFM) is a joint initiative by International Management Institute, Kolkata and NSE Academy Ltd. This is an 11 months executive weekend programme. So, you have two very good options when it comes to Finance at IMI Kolkata.

As a proud student of IMI-Kolkata, I'd like to inform you that my college offers top-notch facilities in every aspect.

It is important to understand your career objectives and go for an MBA college that best matches your requirements. Amidst the plethora of B-Schools in India, IMI-Kolkata has made a mark of its own. Which is why Id say it is better than BIMTECH. There very strict about the selection of faculty members, hence ensuring that only the finest teachers who are highly qualified, passionate and dedicated are teaching the students. Also, IMI-K believes in value-based education which helps students become a better human being and do something constructive for society. There committed to the cause of delivering world-class education. Their placements are also great (not comparing this point with any institute because I believe that in the end, it totally depends on the student's capability).

In its the latest placement season, the International Management Institute in Kolkata witnessed 100% placements, with the highest package standing at 20 LPA and the average of top 50 percentile students at 8.07 LPA. That being said, if I were in your place, I'd choose IMI-Kolkata, regardless of its placement record. The reason being, many other factors come into consideration during education and placements. IMI-K is one of the finest institutes to pursue an MBA. The institute has many professors with years of experience in the subject area. Their expertise in business, marketing, and finance provides students with an academic edge, helping the latter put their best foot forward during placements. The institute also has industry tie-ups and collaborations with several top-tier banks, investment companies, brokerage firms, and other financial institutions. As a result, students gain early industry exposure via internships, seminars, guest lectures, and more. https://www.imik.edu.in/placement-overview/.

No, admissions at the International Management Institute in Kolkata are of two types - Self Sponsored and/or company-sponsored. The institute creates a cutoff list for all its programs for the various categories - General, Sc/ST/OBC, etc. Candidates are shortlisted only on the basis of their academic records, CAT/XAT or GMAT score, and work experience. The latter is optional. You're called for the subsequent GD, What, and interview process only if you clear the cutoff in your respective category. Certain B-Schools like SPJIMR, Mumbai give profile calls, but eventually, they also consider scores of CAT/GMAT, etc., to make the final selection of candidates. I hope my answer helps. All the best!
