[2023] Which B-Schools should you apply to?

What's the difference between PGDM and PGDM HR? I mean, I am 85-90% sure of making my Career in HR. But, I am not sure of the other subjects as Marketing also fascinates me. So in PGDM HR, all the other specializations are ruled out, isn't it? And if I choose PGDM, am I ruling out HR as an option?

@Vineet1991 Almost all top B-schools have electives in IT/Systems in second year. And with majority population being IT work exp and almost all B-schools having some IT/Technology organizations visiting the campus, you won't face much issues getting into IT industry by doing MBA from any of the top 40-50 B-schools in the country.
@ajaygovindg No sir not 100%, but my Aimcat accuracy level was around 82-90%
@missionCAT13 I think you can expect 90+

Consider applying to MIB/MHROD, MFC/MBE, FORE, LBSIM, UBS and after CAT results look out for KJSOM, BIM T, IMI, IMT.
@ajaygovindg sir actually in dat institute 100% fee waiver for sc students is dere dats y my eyes went on dat.....my profile is 10th-85.3

@ajaygovindg my category is sc.......i forgot to mention on above
@ajaygovindg sir i am a general student . I wanted to know whether i can avail education loan without collateral security for MBA. Please can you mention the institutes or the bank for which collateral is not needed.Because i basically not getting to which institutes should i apply .
@dipesh_scorp For any amount up to 4lakhs almost all leading nationalized banks do not require any collateral.
@thePANDA Yes, PGDM-HR like at XLRI-PMIR, MDI, IMI etc. would have only HR papers in 2nd year. First year I think there will be basics of all areas. If you go for general MBA then you can consider/understand basics of each and then choose electives based on your interest. If you want to do a dual specialization and are not sure of which other area to focus on, I would recommend a general MBA.

If you're sure about career in HR, then do check out the companies visiting the campus for HR profiles before you choose to join a general course.

@vin16 Fee waiver/scholarship in any B-school is mostly on the tuition fee which is only about 1-2lakhs at max!! So read through and understand the details properly.

Then again, How about "Daring to dream beyond IIMs"?! They give international placements, exposure, foreign trip and what not.

Plz anyone post the official admission thread for IMT Ghaziabad..

Couldnt be able to find..
@preetic You have very good acads and expected CAT score also. Consider applying to NITIE, FMS, XIMB and after results look out for few IITs. Also check MIB/MHROD, MFC/MBE (before results) & KJSOM, IMT, IMI, BIM T (after results) etc. as backup options. Assuming you're a girl (from PG ID), you MAY also get calls from few old/new IIMs because of the gender diversity they look to have in each batch. All the Best. :cheerio:
