Strong Placements for IIMA’s 2010 PGPX batch
The fourth batch of Post Graduate Programme in Management for Executives (PGPX) graduated on 27th March 2010. Launched in 2006-07, the PGPX is a one year, full time, residential programme designed by IIMA for professionals with substantial work experience and international exposure. As per the norms followed by international MBA programmes, placement statistics are reported at the end of three months after graduation. The statistics for the 2010 batch of PGPX as on 16th July 2010 are as follows.
The batch attracted a diverse pool of recruiters from large MNCs and conglomerates to small and medium enterprises (SME) and start-up firms. Recruiters, amongst others, included McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, Axis Bank, Google, Amazon, TCS, IBM, Wipro, Mahindra Satyam, HCL, Infosys BPO, Polaris, Aricent, VBHDC, NISG, Genpact, Hero Honda, Mahindra and Mahindra, RIL, Tesco, RPG, Bennet Coleman, MARG and Zensar.
Of the 66 students seeking placements 64 have been successfully placed. The average salary for the batch was Rs. 26.1 lakhs – an increase of 29.5% over the previous year’s average. Students who participated in the placement process received 1.77 offers per person. While IT / ITES and consulting were the industries of choice for the batch, Project Management, Consulting, Operations and Business Development were the top functions chosen. Eight students of the batch are pursuing their dreams through entrepreneurial ventures in a variety of fields such as clean energy and healthcare.
The batch had an average work experience of 10 years with 80% of the batch having spent an average of 5 years working abroad. Apart from the traditional consulting and general management roles, students were offered CEO, Executive Director, Sr. VP, VP, General Manager and Practice Partner positions. The two students remaining to be placed from the 2010 batch have niche skills and location constraints and have rejected one offer each as they are looking for well targeted positions in specific industries. The institute continues to provide full support in their career search efforts by facilitating interaction with firms that express interest.
Professor Saral Mukherjee, the Chairman of Placements at IIMA said “The placements this year have shown that recruiters consider the IIMA PGPX programme to be a source of top notch middle to senior level executive talent. We intend to keep building on this momentum and invest in learning about recruiter needs and preferences.”

Is free Laptop really free??

2010-07-22T14:31:00.003+05:30

Have you heard of popular adage- " "There's no such thing as a free lunch".

This is equally true for free laptops. I have seen many college attracts students by free laptop-advertisement.I wish it could be true. A laptop may cost approx. on an average 30,000 depending upon the configuration.Almost all the schools-providing-free-laptops calculate the cost of laptop, with particular configuration, and add this to the total tuition fee of the college and market it as free laptop which is not true.

Let us assume that a b-school which provide free laptop has capacity of 200 students. Going by the approx. price of (INR)30,000 laptop per unit the total cost of 200 laptops will be (INR)6000000 which is huge and no college would like to add this cost to their marketing budget.

"Beware!! of False and Misleading Informations/Advertisements!!! "-2

2010-07-22T12:36:00.008+05:30

Regular or distance learning??

Before you zeroed in on a college for admission in any college make sure the degree which they provide is regular or distance learning. There have been many instances of cheating in this regard. There are many college, set up for monetary purpose, who provide distance learning degree in the name of regular. Usually these colleges have low-class and inexperienced faculty and a rented building in which students attend their classes regularly ( usually 5-6 days a week) which gives the impression that the degree is regular but that is not.
'Reading regularly in a building doesn't convert your distance-learning degree into a regular one.They may also try to convince you by saying that they have applied for the affiliation and they may show you a proof for that but don't buy that reason as their application may or may not be approved. Be extra cautious if the colleges are in their first year of operation. Always check with websites of AICTE, UGC and other statutory(legal) bodies.Make few phone calls, search the website thoroughly and if necessary, ask knowledgeable person in this field , ask for the confirmation from the concerned institute/college/school in writing (email/snail mail).It worth to work out these details before your admission rather than repenting mid-session-when you can't go back. "Remember prevention is better than cure".
All the Best!! And if you like it share with others also.
*****************
Note-above post is not to undermine the value of distance learning or other mode of learning. This is just for the purpose of informing students, who want a regular degree, about the fraud perpetrated by some colleges in the name of regular degree.

"Beware!! of False and Misleading Informations/Advertisements!!! "-1

2010-07-22T12:04:00.006+05:30

To cash in on ever growing demand for MBA degree in India, many B-Schools have pop-up, set up by individuals and group of institutions, in every nook and corner of the country.Except few, many of them have come up only for monetary purpose and with this intention they bombard prospective students with false and misleading ads.Here i would like to share with you few

'catch-words'(-misleading words)

100% JOB/PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE- In your journey for the search of MBA degree or B-Schools you may have noticed this word in advertisement of many colleges.'Please be certain that this never amounts to 100% JOB SURETY/GUARANTEE of Placement.Usually when a student see this word he assumes that after the completion of the course he will certainly get a job and that this is a guarantee by the school/college but this is not true.In fact no one can give you guarantee of a job, not even IIMA or ISB.

Now 100% assurance means only assistance regardless of the outcome-i.e. you may or may not get a job.It's not legally binding on the college and you can't claim for if you don't get any job.

**********

Getting a job depends on many factors like 1. match between the requirement of a company and skill set of candidate, reputation of school etc and these are variables. That's why you will never see these kind of ads by genuine, authentic and reputed institutes like IIMs, ISB, S. P. Jain, IIMT. MDI, IIFT Delhi,Symbiosis and many more.

MBA, PGDM, PGP

2010-07-21T15:55:00.000+05:30

In this section we will discuss what is the difference between these degree and which one is better?

MBA- It is the Master degree in business Administration is an award conferred a college (affiliated to a university) or a university signifying that the recipient has satisfactorily completed a course of study. Duration may be from 1 to 3 years.
The core courses in the MBA program are designed to introduce students to the various areas of business such as accounting, marketing, human resources, operations management, etc. Students in some MBA programs have the option to select an area of concentration and focus approximately one-third of their studies in this subject.
Please note that in India only UGC( university grant commission) approved universities has authority to grant this award.

PGDM- The extension of PGDM is Post Graduate Diploma in Management.It can be PGDBM( business management) PGDIT(information technology). PGDRM(retail management) etc.
This is equivalent to MBA. The duration of this course is typically 1-3 years.
In India only an AICTE( All India council of Technical Education which is a statutory body of govt. of India) approved college/institution/school can grant this award.

PGPM- The extension of PGP is Post Graduate Program In Management which is an autonomous program. Any autonomous school/college/institution can award this degree. Besides, any approved college can also award this degree( e.g. IIMA also awards PGP-ABM-agree business management) This is neither approved by AICTE nor UGC.

Regular,Part- time Distance-learning or Correspondence???

2010-07-21T15:26:00.000+05:30

This is really very important question.And this will be the top question in FAQ chart.I was asked this question in all the gatherings be it admission seminars, conferences or presentations. I will explain all these below.

A Degree is Regular when it is a full-time(5-6 days a week) and in which you attend college/school and study in the campus. It is the most valuable mode of study. Mostly students

A Degree is Part Time when you go to the college/school/institution for 2-3 hours and 2-3 days a week. Mostly those who can't leave their work prefer this mode.

A degree is Distance Learning when you attend the course outside the campus of college/university/institution.

A degree is correspondence when the concerned institution send you the study materials(Books,CDs) at your address. You do self study and for any doubt/question you send them letters/emails etc and they respond you accordingly.Mostly those who can't leave their work prefer this mode.
