Hello Guys,
I am sure you all are busy with your MBA interviews. Some of you might have done well and some of you might not be satisfied with your interview and that's fine. Some of you might plan to give CAT another shot to get into your dream B-school. Wherever you are in your MBA journey, I would suggest you give a shot at Asian Institute of Management, Manila, Philippines for your MBA.
I am a current MBA student at AIM. So, I can give you some ideas about AIM & its flagship MBA. It is one of the oldest B-Schools in Asia. It was founded by Harvard Business School along with the visionary leaders from the Philippines. It is partnered with Ivy-League schools such as Wharton & Yale for the exchange and dual-degree programs. That says a volume about the legacy of AIM.
Why you should consider AIM over other Indian B-Schools:
1. Diversity: You get international exposure at AIM. Our batch has 90 students from 10 nationalities, though all are from Asia except one student. IIMs on average would have 300 students. However, the peer group is mostly Indians.
2. Faculty: The professors at AIM are top-notch. They have an average industry experience of about 15 years and then they started teaching at AIM. My professors were CXOs, board directors, consultants at World Bank and they are passionate teachers now.
3. Learning Methodology: The learning methodology at AIM is case-based. Case-based learning is a tried-and-tested method for collaborative and successful learning. You learn a lot through your peers. You are also graded on your class participation. I guess the learning at Indian B-Schools is mostly lecture-based, which is typically less interactive.
4. Group Work: There is a concept called "Learning Team" at AIM. AIM emphasizes a lot on group assignments. You will have a learning team of 5-6 members to discuss your ideas before coming to the class. You need to do all the group assignments with your Learning Team. These teams are made in such a way that the group is very diverse. Each learning team would have people from different countries, different academic backgrounds, and with different years of work experience.
5. Fees: The AIM fee is on-par with top Indian B-Schools and not so expensive. In addition, there are good scholarship options. If you have a good profile, the chances of getting a scholarship are higher. The program is one-year, as opposed to the traditional two-year MBA programs in India. You might be interested in including the opportunity cost of not earning for a year in your ROI of your MBA degree.
6. Network: The AIM alumni network is good. To name a few Indian alumni, Ashok Soota (Co-founder & Executive Chairman, Mindtree), Kalyan Krishnamurthy (CEO, Flipkart), and Ravi Prasad (Executive Chairman, Himalaya). Many CXOs in SE Asia are from AIM. IIMs also have a great alumni network.
Why you shouldn't consider AIM over other Indian B-Schools:
1. Placements: AIM doesn't focus much on getting jobs for students. It focusses on building great leaders and managers, who can find jobs on their own. The AIM alumni are in good positions worldwide. You can check the LinkedIn for reference. Though there is a dedicated Career Services Office at AIM, it doesn't work the way placement cells at Indian B-Schools work. If you are confident about yourself, it shouldn't bother you much.
2. Academic Rigor: As the program is just one-year, the academic rigor is heavy and it is so demanding. You need to be more focussed and hard-working. Otherwise, it would be difficult to survive. If you are ready for the roller-coaster ride, then you would enjoy the rigor here.
AIM will be visiting India (Bangalore & Mumbai) for its roadshows in March. Follow the AIM LinkedIn page for the latest updates. You can either apply through the roadshows or through the official AIM website.

I never got a toffee in my CAP interview, nor in my IIFT interview. Feeling really sad that the panellists are not even willing to spend another 1 rupee on my candidature :-(
To all the experienced folks of PG, what would you choose if you were in my position , NMIMS (Selected) or IMT -G(Went pretty well) ,considering you were in my shoes and all the factors such as ROI , placements, etc Work ex in finance for 19 months. Want to pursue the same
Puys and pirls, wanted some suggestions from veterans in this matter... If one is looking forward for CAT 2020 & getting a job now... What would be your advice for a fellow GEM? - Joining a MNC like TCS/TCL, CapG, infy, etc. that's far from home (like 25-30 kms 1-1.5hrs travelling) or say another city all together OR - Joining a medium size Indian IT firm that's 10kms from home (20-30 mins travelling) Because I'm assuming MNCs me work-load is less ya work-life balance would be better as compared to a medium sized IT firm..so that I can prep for CAT aisa kuch hai or am I being delusional? Also, does the company or the quality of work-ex matter? Like agar koi MNC se hai v/s someone worked in a start-up or medium-sized firm toh interview me work-ex related kuch puchte hai tab koi advantage/disadvantage? π€

Hey,Puys and Pirls yesterday I came across a post requiring some guidance about which company to choose. I am in a similar situation so please help me out . So I have two options:-
1) System Engineer role in TCS(Digital profile) which provides me the flexibility of choosing the location of my choice. So, I have two options stay at home(Kolkata)which would be around 25 km from my house and hence 9hrs of work + 3hrs of travel or choose the location in another city (Pune,Hyd,Bangalore) and stay as close to the office as possible. The work would mostly be development role or based on ML,Data Science.
2) Work in a startup founded by IIMC alumni based out of Bengaluru with a team of 15 members and developing frameworks for E-Commerce companies. They have 2-3 major E-Comm companies as their clients.The salary offered is 50k less. I have talked to a senior working there he said the work is not hectic and hence would find sufficient time for prep.
PS: I want to specialize in Finance in future and planing to give CFA L1 in December and CAT 2020 is my solo aim. Hence,If anyone could refer me for EY,KPMG,Deloitte,PwC it would be great.I gave CAT 2019 by just giving mocks without any structured prep and have score 94.6%ile.
IMT-G interview. Tell me something about yourself including family background, strengths and weaknesses. Mentioned my weakness as stuttering which would trickle into the actual conversations. Asked about what I learned in Marketing? I told them in B2B in my niche, business depends on reference, and tapping into contacts of those who work in live projects. Gave examples. Asked about woman empowerment - I told abt 40k crore of funds allocated to women related schemes in the budget. Got Asked about recent news relating India -US (Told of trump's visit to India in Ahmedabad probably)got asked about coronovirus and whether India is safe. I couldn't say the word "China" cause I was literally unable to say "China" cause of my stuttering. And then the female panel just started texting on her phone. Got asked about why the switch from engineering. Told about subjects in Mgmt in my final year. Which was a fail. Another question on what would you like to work as after MBA?. I said financial analyst in Asset management company. Then he asked about about SIP in mutual funds and benefit of SIP.
