Hello, Can the adcom please inform us about subsequent waiting list movement. At least tell us if there is going to be further wait lists or not. It'll be very appreciated and will do much to soothe our anxiety.
Will there be no 3rd list in IIM K? PLZ adcom let us know!!!
Hey, any idea about the range of GMAT scores that have been accepted by IIM K for its PGP finance course this year?
Hello Fashionistas!!!
Please participate in this survey to help me get some consumer insights about these fashion brands(Mentioned in the form)
It would hardly take around a minute or so... and thoda data kam padh rha hai so it would be great help
It'll help me perform some customer analysis on some of the fashion brands.
Thank you!!!

I have converted IIM K PGP, IIM K PGP- finance and FMS. I am interested in finance. IIM K PGP- finance's curriculum is good, but since it would be their first batch this year, I am concerned about the placement prospects. Any guidance would be highly appreciated.
Why I chose IIM-K over FMS
Many of you have asked me why I chose IIM-K over FMS, XLRI and IIM-I. Let me tell you about the easy decision on FMS. Everyone has their own reasons. These are my reasons based on my research, campus visits and multiple discussions with students and alumni. I didn’t rely on PG polls J The next time someone on PG says ‘FMS obviously’ try asking them for a rationale ;-)
Ask them for something like this - https://qr.ae/pNyff8
A. Campus life and all round MBA learning experience
This was important for me because I had a residential experience during my engineering and it changed me. The sports, the ECA, the hostel life. I wanted the same for my MBA. I visited FMS and it was sad. It is one building essentially. Zero campus life. I met a couple of my seniors and also traveled with them to their apartments. They really missed having a campus life. I visited IIM-K and the campus it was clear why everyone, including my seniors there, raved about campus life. I loved my two years there. There is so much campus life after classes. Committess, playing sports in Sangram (inter-IIM sports meet), late night study groups, partying, hanging out in balconies, all-nighters in the library. These are my favourite memories of IIM-K. FMS is the only top bschool with zero campus experience. Why would anyone give up this https://youtu.be/-M8U7GjWWgY
B. Placements
Outside of ABCL and ISB, the other top bschools have fairly similar placement reports with the same names. Since FMS has a smaller batch size it will have a slightly higher average salary. That doesn’t give a full picture on the *quality* of placements. Take one metric from the consulting space. The number of offers from the MBB Trinity. IIM-L got 5x and IIM-K got more than 2x the number of MBB offers that FMS got (McK-1, BCG-0, Bain-5) in 2020 (and 2019). Yes there may be other companies where FMS has got more offers, but MBB is the most prestigious and it just shows that placement reports only tell you so much. Also if this was 2020 placements, what do you think happens in the future? Which campus has more momentum?
C. Brand and alumni network
The IIM brand is much stronger than the FMS brand and all first generation IIMs have stronger brands than FMS. IIM-L overtook a long time back. IIM-K has also and so will IIM-I. Yes, the alumni network is older but because of the smaller batch size, the number of alumni is smaller than each of BLACKI. One may argue that FMS alumni are more senior and therefore that counts more. It does help to some extent. Avendus comes to FMS thanks to Ranu Vohra. But IIM-K alumni got other companies to IIM-K including big PE firms like Multiples to IIM-K that usually go to ABC and never FMS. This will only increase as the alumni base of IIM-K gets older.
IIM-K also has the most active alumni network. So you have better networking opportunities. I have been for so many alumni networking opportunities. My friends at FMS and other IIMs all say they have one annual alumni meet. Check out https://www.linkedin.com/company/iim-kozhikode-alumni-association/
There is also the big benefit of the pan-IIM network which FMS and XLRI do not give you access to. Pan-IIM networking events. Job forums. Sports matches. I’ve done them all.
D. Forex
I went on forex and it was an incredible learning experience. FMS .. well ..
E. Investing in the past or the future
An uncle who is an IIMA grad and a CxO gave me the best advice. The bschool decision is about which brand and alumni network you are investing in for the rest of your 30-year career. It’s not about just one placement in 2 years. You invest in a stock which has better future potential, not old glory. What has changed about FMS in the last decades? Will you invest in Exxon Mobil or Amazon? Germany or India? My Uncle’s younger brother chose IIM-L over XLRI and FMS a couple of decades back and has never regretted it. I had an amazing experience of IIM-K as a student and now as an alum and have zero regrets.
F. RoI
Yes FMS fees are a couple of lakhs and even after adding the living expenses it's still much cheaper than a BLACKI. But what are you paying for? Are you paying for a full MBA or a placement?
When I was doing my research and having many conversations before making my choice, several people told me in private that FMS was a good low cost placement agency. Some people say that on PG too. I think they say that because one has to question what you are getting for your RoI.
I know this post will be sacrilege for the herd. I request you to please provide some rationale if you disagree. I fully know many FMS people will rush in to attack.
Please do. This was my reasoning and I am happy I didn't rely on any PG poll that gave some herd opinion :-)
