*************************************************** 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 ofTeaching 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 dude, i never said BIM is bad college. i only said it is not no.3 after IIMs. i know it is a good college, that's why i applied for it.
My frnd is studying there, so i know some details. i can say it is very good compared to lot of colleges. i can say it is even in top 20 (placements wise). Again as u said it will not market itself (I dont know why?). Because of this, lot of quality students (i meant to say, high percentilers in CAT. ofcurse they dont need to be talented, but probability is high) are not opting for BIM. I also understood that, this is more theory college, rather than practicing it. it is just my undertanding after talking to my freind and also the students came for GDPI, from thier words.
As a result, in long term it will loose its quality (here i am not blaming anybody intentionally, just saying what i feel). If u see rankings since 3-4 yrs (it is consistently coming down), u can clearly observe that most of apirants are not prefering it. Rankings may not be always correct, at the same time they are not always wrong. And also the general category cut off for the college.
But only my concern is, if it continue to loose its prominence, companies also will stop coming there after some years.
i can say alumini is very big factor for BIM, that could be the reason for good placements (ther could be other factors as well). And moreover it has only11 permanent faculty (according to thier site). it is somewhat disadvantage only, atleast in my view.
Dont say just because of place, students are not opting for it. Trichy is having NIT and going to have IIM, so defenetly good place to study. TAPMI is also not in Banglore. Just because it is in south india , student will not reject it, south has 2 iims and one new iim (coming) and it has ISB (only one for india) and lot of tier-2 colleges. More over IT placements will be very good, lot of finance and investment comps are starting thier branches in hyd,chn and bang. it has good population, so defenetly lot of marketing oppertunities. There are some other reasons people not prefering it. (not sure abut what they are)

Hi mate.. I wrote that post not to object your thoughts.. I completely second ur opinion thAt BIM will never take the 3rd place in the list of Non-IIMs.. Even a child knows that fact.. The reason of my post was to give my fellow puys a decent idea about BIM...
Students opting for NIT in an Nondescript location (like Trichy and Warangal) is an entirely different ball game. That can't be related to B-Schools. IITs and NITs are BAAP of Engg.. People will opt for them even if they are located in a remote village.
hi... i am wait listed at 34 for BIM .. do I stand a chance of getting in.. could someone please help with the last years scenario so I could get an idea

The wait listed students are required to do 2 things.
1) To express their willingness to join in case their wait list is cleared. They can do it thru email or fax or telegram. (Last date- 19th May)
2) To send a DD for Rs 5000/- to show that they R interested in joining. (Last Date-21st May)
But something which I find it hard to comprehend is the fact that THE WAIT LIST WILL BE OPERATED ONLY FROM 15th June..
The last Date for the selected candidates to pay the fees(Rs 50,000/-) is 21st May. So, the institute would have a clear picture by 25th May.. Y don't they start operating the wait list soon so that those who don't get a seat can look out for other options.
The fact bhel does not recruit BIM candidates has been puzzling long since... infact BIM is collaboration of bhel but they themselve are not recruiting their students which is actually a set back.. more over BIM though has good placements its ranking is decreasing continuously. If its ranked low by a single survey then it makes sense but then its the same in all the surveys... this is something we need to think abt... might be the internal issues which we are not aware

I think all these companies BHEL,ONGC,HAL,SAIL etc..have their own recruitment policy binding to te government norms...Whether it is MANAGEMENT TRAINEE or ENGINEER TRAINEE ..you are eligible only if you write the all india level preliminary objective test which includes both technical and general apti ,G Awareness questions,in some case you have to write technical essay questions after the objective test and then Personal interview.Only then you will get selected:D:cheers:
Nope. the exam is not necessary for campus recruits.......BHEL,ONGC,CPCL,IOCL came for our campus......and recruited them after technical and HR interview....they did have reservation while recruiting.....no exams on apti and general awareness....their campus recruitment policies are different....but they recruit only from Govt colleges....
Is it so ? I have attended SAIL,ONGC engineer trainee exam and my friend got selected in HAL after writing the preliminary test so i thought that this was the only way to enter these companies....Any way a good info brother...

Ok .. am not a senior, but lemme put across my perspectives.
BHEL not recruiting from BIM : BHEL mite luk for ppl who holds an MBA spec in operations . IITs being top notch eng institutes are better than BIM for operations management ( remember BIM doesn offer many electives in opre ) . BHEL doesnt recruit from BIM , so does tat in anyway affect the colleges repuation wen there are other big names coming for campus recruitment.. ?? To substantiate with an eg : BITS-pilani was found and nurtured by the Birlas yet Aditya birla group doesn recruit from them . Does tat mean BITS-pilani is bad.. ? - A big NO
Internal conflict/ infra problems : I cannot comment being an outsider..! but werent these problems discussed earlier in some thread.. ? y is it surfacing again...?
I have been selected for BIM MBA ( 2010- 12) under MBC quota. I will be joining it..
I am following this thread right from the start.. The "BHEL not recruiting in BIM" problem is a old one. Ofcourse it raises a doubt on everyone's mind. Lets wait for the seniors to answer that. But why dont you look at other companies that visit the campus. I have done a fair amt of research before my decision of joining and I could find that BIM finds a place in the top 5 institutes in South India. The placement process for 2010 batch has been a grand success ( Visit the below URL to know the placement details posted by Hindu)..

i completely agree with u but then these conflicts have been pulling the reputation of the coll big time
If you can have a general look around, every college has its own conflicts. Government aided colleges have less conflicts when compared to private.. ( considering the time they are established, approval for various courses). In the case of BIM, do you think BIM administration will be leaving the ranking to decrease every year. For sure NO... I feel we cant come to any conclusion until we have a much larger picture.. some senior from BIM should help us out in this issue...

Guys,
The colloboration of BHEL with BIM is greatly recognised only at state-level. So BHEL being a Navaratna PSU, will have a recruitment team at central level, when it comes to recruiting b-school ppl for manager position. So BHEL TRICHY alone cant make a recruitment decision. Also Alumni factor play a greater role in PSU recruitment. Like Partha mentioned in his prev post, BHEL might have recruited from IIT-Kharagpur bcos key ppl from recruitment team may be alumnus of IIT-Kgp..Unfortunately we have only passive alumni's in BHEL. So we cant push them more to bring BHEL to the campus.
To quote an example, EXIM BANK, though being a PSU, was offering spl schlorship to deserving BIM students and always gave priority to BIM among other b-schools when it comes to recruiting. This is bcos of the fact that the south indian operations (chennai Operation head, Hyd operation head and Mumbai Operation head) of the EXIM bank were all led by BIM Alumni's. So when it came to recruitment, they had a greater say on it and allured the mgmt. Thats the power of alumni network.
Having said all these, our placement committee is still working to get BHEL on campus. If not us, you guys may be lucky enuf to hv them on campus. To quote a postive note, after a long time, they hv offered 3 summer profiles for us.
Therefore "BHEL not recruiting in BIM" will never tarnish the image and reputation of BIM.
