5 major reasons not to join irma anand
They have launched some new shit courses because of their new university - Now because of the pool placements, the amount of recruiters are the same but students have increased by 3x-5x -> Very unlikely that next batch will be 100% placed with good packages
The college life is not at all happening. Fewer case comms compared to other t2, fewer events, fewer activities, life will be boring while you'll see your friends enjoying
Apart from a few roles almost 60-75% of the batch will be placed in t2 cities only. Amul is the bulk recruiter and amul only hires for t2 cities
It's a rural management mba afterall. Even the sales and marketing roles will be related to rural management. For example MC'D comes to irma with Procurement role. Now because mcd makes so many french fries they need a lot of potatoes, Your job will be to negotiate with FPOs to buy bulk potatoes and strategy to procure them. You might do this for money, you might even enjoy doing this. But the problem is these type of roles are niche. It's very difficult to switch. Traditional mba gives you traditional roles, even if you start small you can switch easily and make more.
You think irma has a good ROI... That's actually true, because EMIs are around 20k only and you'll save more if in t2 city. But ROI is measured much more than first year package. Because you can't switch easily, it's more difficult to grow in this niche, open linkedin of any alumni and you'll find it. Moreover the kind of people come to irma are not so serious, whereas in other bschools you'll have a competitive peer group plus the brand name of irma is not so well known - You'll have to most certainly explain them and introduce them about this cllg... ROI and mba are something that'll stick with your name for lifelong so even if the fees of gim/tapmi/fore etc is 10 lakhs more, it might be worth it
