Are all programmes in IIM Bangalore residential?

CS
Chitra Shah Posted On : July 27th, 2021
Studies PGPEM at IIM Bangalore 2021

The question you asked is sort of on the wrong side. Not all programs in IIM Bangalore are residential. Having said that, it is only the PGP program in particular that mainly requires students to stay on campus.

  • PGPEM and EGMP, apart from the one mentioned above, do not require students to stay on campus.
  • However, in PGPEM you can still have an alternative open and that is to stay on campus if only you are willing to, on weekends.
  • EPGP and PGP, among others, are the only two full-time residential programs with the provision of full campus placements.

In fact, these two are accredited programs and are also ranked in respective MBA and MIM categories.

That being said, these are the few residential programs stated in brief,

  1. Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management (EPGP)
  2. PGP
  3. Post Graduate Programme in Enterprise Management (PGPEM)

Hope this helps you, wish you all the best!

What is L square at IIM Bangalore? Why is it named so?

TV
Tanmay Verma Posted On : July 29th, 2021
Studied at IIJNM Bangalore (2019)

As seen by one of my friends and according to his own experience, L square at IIM Bangalore is the most popular area where students can enjoy attending parties, birthday celebrations, etc.

  • The main fortnight party is organized to rejuvenate students apart from their hectic schedules.
  • This also includes the fear of completing the projects before the deadline along with assignments.
  • The college band and the competent disc jockeying is one of the most amazing experiences for all the students.
  • L square is named so as the area is surrounded by hostel A, B, E also known as ABE LINCOLN. Therefore, the area is known as Lincoln square.

Thus, we can say that L square is the place where all the students can enjoy thereby living a life full of lavish ways apart from the regular studies.

Are the job profiles offered at MDI Gurgaon on par with IIMs like LIK, not ABC? How much effort does one have to put into his future to get on par with the IIM graduates if one graduate from there?

AR
Aditi Rajotia Posted On : March 7th, 2023
Studied at Management Development Institute, Gurgaon

IIML is clearly superior to MDI in non-marketing specializations in terms of placement. However, IIM I, K, and MDI are generally equal in terms of placements, except for a few banks that specifically seek out the IIM tag at I&K. If you work equally hard at either campus and all other operational factors are constant, you will likely end up in a similar position whether you choose MDI or I or K. However, as mentioned before, IIML still has the edge and requires more effort if you're in the finance or consulting field.

If you're interested in MDI, it's worth noting that recent placement reports show more and more prestigious finance and consulting companies are visiting the campus. This has helped MDI deliver well-rounded placements. So, if you're willing to put in the work, MDI could be a good option for you.

How can you compare ISB's CBA vs IIM Bangalore's BAI courses?

AS
Ankit Srivastava Posted On : July 27th, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2019)

Some of my friends are studying in both the institutes and according to their firsthand experience, both the courses differ from each other. For a clearer view, you must take a look at the major pros and cons of both of them.

Pros:

ISB CBA:

  • ISB CBA has a great campus and you will be lucky to have a global faculty.
  • You will get tremendous networking opportunities with 100+ batches as you will be among brilliant talents.
  • Most of the pedagogy includes offline methods whereas online teaching is only limited to tutorials.
  • Some of the best Faculties in the institute are Prof Shailesh, Prof Sarang Deo, Prof Arun, and Prof Sudhir Voleti.
  • As the CBA course is a full-time course, you will also benefit by getting the ISB Brand Value. This might help you get recognition.

IIM Bangalore BAI:

  • You will get global faculty and excellent peers to be with.
  • No one can compete with IIM’s brand value.
  • As the course is mostly offered in online mode, it is quite ideal if you are a working person.

Cons:

  • ISB CBA: The fees are quite expensive for most middle-class students. There should be more career opportunities that justify the cost.
  • IIM Bangalore BAI: You are not allowed to stay within the campus which significantly reduces your chances to enjoy vast networking.

Both the courses come with their own pros and cons while holding a big brand value, therefore the decision lies in your hand.

How good is placement at ISB, Hyderabad compared to IIMs (since number of students are much more in ISB, leading to tough competition)?

KA
Kumar Anshul Posted On : January 30th, 2023
PGP from Indian School of Business (2023)

When comparing the placements of the two, ISB and IIMs, the batch size hardly matters because both institutes market different products. The background and profiles of students of both institutes are too versatile to draw comparisons. If I roughly divide the ISB students and the kind of placement scenario they face then

  • 90% of students get their dream jobs in the desired sector and company 
  • 10% of the students get jobs that are below their expectations but not worse enough to forgo the offers

So the batch size does not matter here and ISB Hyderabad placements are themselves quite satisfactory.

Will IIM Bangalore still survive if Bangalore ceases to be a liveable city as suggested by numerous reports? Should I prefer IIM Kozhikode over it, as the future of Bangalore looks bleak?

MC
Mausumi Chatterjee Posted On : July 31st, 2021
Studied Finance & Marketing at Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode

Don’t choose the institute based on the city. As you will barely get to go out of the campus because of the academic loads in both the colleges.

IIM Bangalore offers the best student exchange programs. This college has helped a lot of students in building their careers. Most of the alumni of IIM Bangalore are settled abroad. So, it is definitely a good option for your studies. Also, it will take over 10 years for Bangalore to be completely unlivable. So, you don’t need to worry about that for the duration of your course.

However, if you want a pollution-free campus then IIM Kozhikode will be a better choice for you. The hostel rooms of this college are very good along with food. You will find a lot of learning opportunities over there.

Choose according to your convenience and don’t take City as a major parameter for your decision.

What is the craziest story you heard in IIM Bangalore?

DM
Dishant Mishra Posted On : July 29th, 2021
MBA from IIM Bangalore (2018)

The craziest story I got to know about IIM Bangalore is from my friend who pursued his MBA from IIMB. He told me about how he and his friends accomplished the mission to climb up to the water tank, which was shown in the 3 Idiots movie.

He told me that during his last 10 days of the college, he and his friends decided to climb up the water tank and they even managed to get through but they couldn’t climb it as the main gate was locked tightly and it was full of metal grills making it seemingly impossible to jump as the tower is quite high.

So, what they did was, the next day they went with preparation. They bought a toolkit consisting of a cutting plier, a metal cutter to break the lock. They all reached the gate by 3 am and started filing the lock of the tower tank. And suddenly they heard the footsteps of someone which made them completely freak out. It was the guard on his daily patrol. But the guard was distracted by something else and he went sideways. And these guys continued with their process of filing the lock and they made it.

And finally, they climbed up the water tank. The moon-lit night, spent with friends during the last few days, was the craziest thing he ever did in IIMB.

Is the academic rigour of IIM Calcutta more than IIM Bangalore?

AG
Anik Ganguly Posted On : November 29th, 2022
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta

Yes, the academic rigour of IIM Calcutta is more than IIM Bangalore. But to a very little extent. Overall the impact is very little.

The academic rigour at any institute is affected by:

  • Batch-size

  • Curriculum structure 

  • Grading 

IIM Calcutta has the largest batch size. So the academic rigor is higher than other IIMs. Also, it has the fastest academic year. There are no breaks between terms, and midterms are wrapped, in most years, within 3 days with 2–3 exams per day. IIM Calcutta has a Grading scale upto 9 with grades very spaced out within the batch, and competition for superior grades often heats up towards the end of Term 3, with average performance spiking up as everyone wants to score high.

The rest is for you to judge. But keep in mind that the competition vigor at every IIM is the same.
