[2010-12]BIM Trichy Shortlist Out

MBA CAT 2022

Hi kirubakaran,

Please dont beleive these rankings. Lot of colleges will not participate in these rankings.

i accept BIM is good college, but not third , if not IIMs. Even i am in WL. Not sure about joining , if i covert it.


Rankings mean squat to me. I very well know that you cannot rank institutes as you cannot rank students. Every student has some talent to his credit. But that eventually doesnt matter at all because well ranked institute/student is marketable. I put this ranking here because BIM doesnt believe in marketing an academic institution. It has silently completed silver jubilee celebrations and still there are so many MBA aspirants who ask me where is this institute anyway. As a student of BIM, it is my duty to make sure that its virtues are heard. Thats the reason u find the above link posted by me.

catlavanya Says
hey guys one of my friends has got thr nmims capital markets and bim... but then which should the person choose.. he is confused since its a sectoral offer.. how r the placements for the two .. please throw some light...

I have converted NMIMS (core) and been to NMIMS twice.. B school comparison is not allowed here.. but Capital Markets or BIM, is purely depends on one's own interest.. but NMIMS has the advantage of being in Mumbai,the financial capital(so ROI factor may be less)..

Hi Puys..

As someone who has had a considerable experience in giving CAT and one who ran the operations of a coaching institute, I can give you a few details about BIM.


1) BIM is one of the most under-rated B-Schools in India. Had BIM been in Northern or Western part of our country, it would have received the attention it deserves.


2) BIM has been at the receiving end in almost all the B-School Ratings. With due respect to PG, let me remind U all that BIM was ranked 41st in the PAGALGUY ratings. U know who the respondents were. All of them were our fellow B-School aspirants. The mood of the aspirants alone CANNOT be used as a sole criterion for rating the Institutes. There are such parameters as Age of the Institute, Its Reputation, Academic Rigour, Quality of Teaching Staff, Achievements & Experience of the Proffs, Placements, Recruiters perspective, Alumni, etc., that need to taken into consideration.

3) Based on all these parameters, I can safely say that BIM will SURELY find a place in the top 25 B-Schools in our Country. Infact BIM will occupy the 23rd or 24th place. Lots of Schools ahead of BIM in PG rankings (I do not want to name them here) are in no way closer to BIM as far as quality is concerned.

4) BIM has been achieving 100 % placements since its inception. It is not an ordinary achievement by any means.

5) BIM enjoys a huge reputation in South India. After IIM-B and IIM-K I can think of no institute which is better than BIM. DOMS-IIT-Madras and TAPMI are close competitors in this regard. (Including ISB-Hyderabad in this list would be no less than an act of Blasphemy).

6) BIM has a strong ALUMNI network.

7) Quality of education is very good.

The above were the positives about BIM. But all is not Hunky-Dory. There are a few negatives too.

1) Industrial (or Business) Exposure could be low.

2) Trichy, as a location is not even half as exciting as Blore, Mumbai or Delhi.

3) Absence of heterogeneity. (Needless to say that an overwhelming majority of the students are from Tamil Nadu)

4) Infrastructure isnt very good. etc.,



P.S. Im not a self-appointed ambassador of BIM. Im jus one among many students who are waitlisted by it.

Hey every college has certain positives and negatives ..Guys you do the research ad join which ever college you want......

Looks like u have done a pretty decent research on BIM..A few more additional pnts to consider
One of the most important factors in any Bschool are its alumni...though very little attention is given to this factor , the placements of any college depend a lot on on their alumnis ...For BIM with its 25 yrs exp , the alumni are doin exceptionally well in the industry ( just go to linkedin and search for BIM ...u will get an idea about what I am telling )..Efforts are being taken to leverage this biggest advantage .. Currently we have an equity research program which runs parallel with the main course for 6 months which is done under the mentorship of two fund managers (our alumni of course !!) ...This was introduced in our batch and for u guys it will be much better ...This is definitely bound to make a difference in our placements...Similarly its upto us to derive the maximum from them...

Everything here is managed by the students...Right from the food ,decidin on the profs , the course contents , the placements etc...So ultimately it is us who will be deciding how fruitful our 2 years are going to be ...
The college gives us all the freedom and believes we are mature enough to make the best use of the available opportunities...
One sad thing about us is that we have very poor marketing for our college unlike the private ones ...maybe the govt tag and "value education creates its own marketing" motto is the culprit !!!

Ooops , I nearly forgot the most imp thing...The best part of BIM is the fun u have here...The terrace parties , the dance floors , the movie nights , the bike trips , football matches ,the treats...

All said , for ppl who have two calls , the best way to decide is to get in touch with someone who is studyin there and get the true pict...Never go by the rnkgs, the ads , or the websites...

Congrats for all those who converted ...Keep the spirit goin and lets keep rockin !!!!

Laptop is not made compulsory by the insti...But however a laptop becomes inevitable considering the millions of assignments and presentations that we will have to do...You can buy it on your own or come to the coll and bargain for bulk deals...

Its better to bring your bike to campus coz considerin the trichy heat a bike ride is much preferable compared to a 5 minute walk to coll from the hostel...And a bike would give you much more flexibility in travelling around...I would suggest you bring your bike...

What ever u discussed jst before , may have been true.... But on of the very important question is still unanswered - Although BIM is inside BHEL campus , still why it doesnt prefer BIM for final placements...Bcoz I think this's the organisation that's very very closely related to BIM...

When the same question was raised in past threads seniors of BIM told that BHEL only goes for IIMs...Bt it's nt the actual fact, this time it has visited IIT-KGP for MBA recruitment in operations & recruited(One can check the MBA placement-2010 in IIT-KGP
http://www.som.iitkgp.ernet.in/images/stories/placecom/vantage_2010.pdf)....

Although IIT-KGP(VG SoM) is nt so reputed as BIM , still how cd it attract this Public Sector gaint where as BIM being so closed to it could not....!!!:shocked::o

Senior plz provide a logical fact behind it..... We wl be helpful..
847

In my above post I didnt mean for comparison as this's nt the right place for that.... But this's a kind of qstn mark on the image of BIM even in South India ,,,
It also holds a very important qstn for Engineers that Whether BIM is the right choice for them to get thru their dream Companies(e.g. BHEL is a dream for any Engg,,, not TCS,WIPRO or INFY...)....

leaving the rest for Seniors honest opinion....

Thanx in advance....
