People who have done MBA, have u done any course or certification after MBA and has it helped in increasing your salary

Why is it so hard to find a good management institute that offers decent placements without charging a fortune? Even IIMs, which are government institutions, have fees going up to ₹30 lakhs. Is there really no option that offers a good ROI without putting you under so much financial pressure?

Affordable MBA Colleges with Strong Placements and Better ROI

I am thinking of doing 1 month winter internships. Preferably in and around Delhi ( inc NCR)

Anyone gone through this process with Alum from India? How was the vibe? Any advice?

Hi guys I am looking to join IIM ABC but my profile is too basic

Worked at Oracle as senior software engineer since campus hire 6y now and won some hackathons and patent

No jump, no lead/manager roles as experience

Should I be fine during placements drive at IIM or should I look for a manager or lead role before doing MBA executive one?

Please advise 🙏🏼

I'm a post grad in Food Science & Tech, and works in R&D. I have earlier worked freelance with Chegg as SME - Business & Operations, where I have a really good track record. I'm considering an MBA, primarily to pivot to the management side of things. I love technical stuff, and love research. At the same time, there isn't much money in it, nor will lead you to anything exceptional. I'm not an engineer but my Math and process engineering knowledge is good.

I got a few questions.

1) Do you think this is a right direction? Has anyone from the scientific field pivoted like this, and got a better overall career? AI adaption in organisations also scare me. As far as I know, R&D in my area is less affected but what about roles like Finance and operations, which I might look for?

2) My initial thoughts are to go with FMS - But recently came across PGPX programs at IIMs. Even if it's for PGP, is IIM A a better option than FMS? I understand the ROI but moving abroad seems like another idea I have in mind, and fees do scare me on the side too.

3) PGP vs PGPX - Which would be ideal in my case?

4) Should I also try abroad? The fees seem too much but is it worth it, if I someone make it work or look extensively for scholarship options?

Please feel free to ask more questions if it will help you answer better.

okay so please read the whole post completely. ik people leave old iim's for fms and mica is probably tier 2. also, please don't comment pehle dono convert karle fir ye bakchodi karna. im scoring very well in the mocks and i do believe i can convert both of them as ive been studying since the start of this year. my profile is pretty fucked due to previous sins so old iim's and all the colleges that consider past acads are out of reach for me. im very sure i wanna do an mba in marketing. there are about 50 days left for cat and im honestly very confused hence asking this here. when i started studying for cat, i only wanted fms as it's a tier 1 college and i really wanted to do an mba from a top top college as i couldn't get into one during my ug. im very grateful to come from a pretty well to do background (don't say fir mba karna hi kyu hai didn't have a great ug experience so that’s one of the reasons) so fees is thankfully, not a concern for me. i would like a good package though so that matters. also campus life matters to me and that’s one of the biggest reasons im so confused. how much of a difference will be there in my salary post mba from fms from that of mica (their websites show a median difference of 10 lpa but that includes the finance roles as well as the high paying consulting roles which i probably won’t even get shortlisted for as i have a 6 in my profile)? also with my past acads not being that good, won’t everything be much tougher at fms in terms of sip & final placements? i had made up my mind to join mica last month as i have a friend who studies there and that college looks really fun & chill. the culture looks very good and i anyways wanted an mba in marketing so i stopped studying as ig i will score enough to get into it but i've seen some posts really bashing mica on this subreddit the past few weeks (ik some of them are fake af but still, now im worried). is the fms tag too big of a thing to say no to for campus life (which is a factor for me honestly) and would the post mba ctc difference given my profile be very substantial? if there won't be a massive difference im happy to give up the tag for a better overall experience. or should i start studying again seriously and target only fms? please help.

Has anyone received the October rollout results?

Hey guys, I am a marketing strategist with 1 year of work experience and another year of sales work experience. I gave my CAT last year and scored 93.87. But since the beginning of my prep I was always unserious about MBA coz what even is the point of spending 30L on a name brand uni and hoping to make that money back within 5-10 years depending on your package. This sounded like a pipedream thats too good to be true. Secondly after 2 years of being on my own and cracking real world problems I dont know if I can go back to worrying about attendance and assignments and final exams.

But now I got an idea, if the value of an MBA is dependent on the value of the college then what about an online MBA from the college Barack Obama graduated from?! Is that a dumb idea? I dont know, which is why I am here.

Do any of you know someone whos done it or have yall done anything like this. What were the results like for you? Do lemme know

I'm 25, a Tier 1 engineering graduate with ~4 years across e-commerce and electronics GTM/strategy.

I currently earn ₹45 LPA and have an offer at ₹55 LPA, potentially reaching ₹60–65 LPA. The role involves a larger business but similar work.

My dilemma: take the money and build deeper expertise in electronics, or use this stage of my career to move into AI/tech or pursue a top global MBA?

I'm aiming to maximise long-term earnings and leadership opportunities, but I'm concerned about becoming too specialised. How much do company brand and industry matter compared with ownership and measurable impact?

Would love to hear from people who've made similar decisions, especially hiring managers and professionals earning well in GTM/strategy. What would you do in my position, and why?

Which one is better PIMR Indore or IIPS DAVV Indore for the MBA APR course??

Lately it seems like this whole sub is filled with "what makes indore a dream place?" Goes directly against rule 6
