@satyam.maitrai said:yes may be with ROI factor Jims sounds good...!!..but overall Christ shall surpass it on many qualitative grounds..!,atleast the total number of Application received by Christ itself justifies it's being one of the best choice among MAT takers.
@pm199010 said:@satyam.maitrai u remember the fig of christ 180 placements with avg of 4 lkh ? jims top top 25% will have more than dat for sure
What is point of discussion??? CHRIST vs JIMS or Marketing vs Sales or Intake Quantity vs Intake Quality!!!
Christ has its own merit and JIMS has its own, you can go on for ages discussing this and not come to a conclusion. It completely depends on personal preferences and aspirations.
Targets are an integral part of both Marketing and Sales. Even a Director Marketing has targets. When HLL (my real brother is working) recruits from IIM's they send them to villages for ground level sales training, inspite of their level of profile. If any person wants to grow in marketing they have to work in the grassroots to learn about the real world. Even Sunil Mittal used to sell Crank Shafts before he started Airtel. All successful marketing people have worked on the frontline before moving up the ladder. It is true even for Brand Managers.
Indira Nooyi's second job as a brand manager was to sell 'Stayfree' and it was a taboo during that time in India to advertize such products. So don't think if a guy from IIM is selected as a Brand Manager then he does not have to do ground level work. Marketing is one of the toughest profiles.
Remember 1 thing, MAT percentile or Grad scores does not guarantee anyone a decent job. If that would have been the case then everyone from Christ/BIMM, as they take above 60% grad and very high mat, should have got 10 L + jobs?? I can give you 100 more such examples even from IIM's.
When we recruit, the first thing that we look at is passion, attitude and desperation for the job. Then comes company / profile knowledge and subject knowledge.
High intake will always create problems in terms of number of opportunities available per student. This will be the problem for colleges like Christ. Remember that I am not saying that Christ are not good. But your competition will be far greater in such colleges.
So my final advise as a senior and elder brother is that concentrate on your performance and development of your overall personality during PGDM. Forget about the points you are discussing above.
