heya all..
a truth abt IMS ghaziabad (possibly u know abt it)

heya all...

a truth abt IMS ghaziabad (possibly u know abt it):-

My brother is studying in IMS ghaziabad. the college claims an avg packg of 7 lpa and a max of 20 lpa. i came to know abt this figure from college's ad in TOI newspaper (Delhi edition dt 15/01/09)

The Truth: The avg of "placed" students is around 4 lpa. highest is around 8 lpa. i have highlighted "placed" cuz the senior batch has got an appaling 15% final placement only. whereas by this time, b-schools are supposed to have their 100% final placements (of their potential).

The college may argue that the poor placement is because of industrial slowdown, bt still, the college has never achieved 100% placement & never the avg package has crossed 4 lpa.

Summers: All b-schools achieve 100% summer placements by this time (end of II term), but from my bro's batch, only 1 student has got his summer placement from a batch size of over 250 (and that too zero stipend).

infact, there are many other facts about college. bt since they are not related to career, i am not mentioning it, bt i guess those things do affect ur life.


I completely agree with you.Though i can't verify the stats(15% etc) but the overall picture is true...

the above facts are absolutely true, and ya ims may not top regarding placements or for that matter anything positive, but it will definitely top the list if a survey is conducted among the b schools of the world regarding human rights violation!!!! i guess most of the people who have some aquaintances in ims will be knowing whats going on here since yesterday.i dunno on what basis they have increased the fee to 8.20 lacs ?? are they havin 100 pc placements? can they arrange for internships? are they providing good hostel facilities? or is the college is having good infrastructure? it definitely ranks very low on all font except of course the quality of students. almost all of the companies coming for placement are giving a package of around 1.50 lac pa n those negligible students who hv managed to get 5 or 6 lac pa is or campus, 100 percent only on their own merit;they wud hv got this much package even if they had done some university mba program. then what the point in payin 8.20 lacs to this college?? i hope prospective students keep their ears and eyes open and think properly before taking any decision so that they dont hv to suffer like us .:eyepop:

Hw bt chargin 8.5 Lacs 4 IMT-N ???? I raised the same qstn in IMT-N forum but seniors had no reply i gues!!!!

hello.

Frens this is the story of not only 1 but all the MBA colleges in India...Symbiosis chargig 10 lkhs...Nm charging 8 lkhs....infact this fee hike(almost 100%) has affected me badly..i have Narsee monjee call but this much money!!!!!!common i dnt have a machine to print notes....i think there shud be some norms atleast from government side which check the fee structures for these institutes....more than study centres these institutes have become businesses..i mean common how can they play with the future of students...

hi..yes it is 88.48 and i was kind of unknown to the procedure of selecting b-schools so applied for ims ghaziabad..
thank you.

this is the story of not only ims ghaziabad but of more than 90% of collges in xat and mat and of more than 80 % colleges of cat so better collect the information regarding the college and never trust in the college's website and never go by b school ranking of private colleges by any magazine because i read once that b school has setting with the magazine publishers and in which i read this that magazine also publishes yearly b school ranking

i have got admission letter from asia pacific institute of management and ims ghaziabad. which one out of the two shall i take admission.

after reading all things i want to make it very clear that ims,ghaziabad is a decent mat college with good reputation especially in UP.more over that having good infra. and course structure as well as good faculty.now the major issue here is obviously placement so let me make it clear to all now whole world is laboring under recession and even iim students are hardly getting good placements with high pkgs.even 5 or 8 students of iimA join BOB at 3.5L pkg.even though ims successfully placed its TM(tourism) students 100% placement.and pgdm with 35-40% plc. and it will augment up to 50-60 % up to july.
rest is up to you what is right or wrong go to clg. talk to students and yes what you deserve you will surely get,work hard dont think much about the future coz market will surely become good with in a year.


First deserve, than desire!

Dear, at this stage u shud understand that colleges are gud or bad on a relative term. Just babbling around that IMS is a gud college (just b'coz u r a part of IMS) doesn't makes any sense. Someone may even say that XLRI is a bad college, but to say that, u shud be a part of atleast IIM-A/B/C.

No one has ever mentioned that IMS is a bad college. Only some facts regarding placements, its infrastructure, hostel facility have been mentioned which are just facts and NOT OPINIONS! I respect your feelings towards IMS as you shud have that, but you shud also have some ethics of not helping your college in misleading b-school aspirants.

It's not just the placements which you look for while deciding for a college. There are many other factors. Do you want me to post here what hostel facilities IMS provides, how is the mess facility, how is the internet facility, how is the transportation facility to & from hostel to college and what happens to a student when he complains about a deficient service to the director... or the best: What had happened with some students of IMS when they were on a college trip (i guess to nainital).

There are many products available in the market which have superb packaging from outside but when you buy and try the product, you come to know the reality. IMS may be having good reputation outside, but I bet, that reputation had been developed by fake claims of the college which I had mentioned earlier. Through this thread, I am just trying to show the reality to the aspirants and NOT POINTING FINGERS AGAINST IMS. We are actually no one to say whether a college is good or bad. We can just highlight some facts based on which a candidate may decide his/her future. Moreover, I have never compared any b-school with IMS.

I hope you have understood what I wanted to say and please please please... I urge you not to take this post personally.

let me make it clear i am not at all the part of this college.what ever figure i mention here i hv not at all fabricate it,i got that from the ims students.i am here for help not to obfuscate the issue.

if any one want to take admission in Delhi or ncr region,they could consider this college it is my opinion .although fee is high.
rest is up to you. :-P
