“JAAGO STUDENT JAAGO”
Issued in Students/Public Interest
Disclaimer & Important information:
·
This article is just for helping student in institute selection.
We do not have any intention to hurt any one’s emotions or ego or image. This
article is also not indicating towards
any specific institute, coaching class or consultant.
·
Yes this article is focused on 2/3 BHK Institutes, Road side/Seasonal/Part
time Consultants, Coaching Classes who are involved in spoiling student’s future for their own
money making.
·
This article is carried out after discussing with
various students (most of the students are from Gujarat, Rajasthan,
Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Bihar, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh,
Jharkhand & West Bengal) who lost
one or 2 years and money for application forms or at coaching classes, but still facing the
same problem (which institute to select for admission)
If you or your near & dear once are planning for MBA or 2
year full time management programme, read it carefully and pass it to your
friends/relatives,
Save your valuable time & money, also for your dear once.
--------------------------------------------------
We are not here to make you smile
We are here to assure that you don’t cry in next 2 years and ever
after
·
If you are planning to pursue MBA/PGDM or any 2 year full time management
programme, you must be getting Prospectus,
Calls, SMS, unwanted Email & attractive offers/invitation to join their institutes,
saying only good things about them, if every thing is so good about them why do
they need to call you again and again for admission process or for buying their
application form…
·
Don’t
get confuse with full page advertisements in various news papers & magazines, Rankings,
Hoardings, Attractive SMS, Calls, Emails, Free laptop, Free foreign tour &
more, before applying for any institute “Just Think”
Is it worth applying for this institute?
Is it suitable for you are your future?
IIM’s,
NIRMA, MICA, NMIMS, SP Jain, JL BAJAJ, XLRI, TAPMI, IMT, FORE, IMI,
ITM,
NL Dalmia, K.J Somaiya, SDM IMD, GIM, FMS
Why they don’t give
full page advertisement, about their domestic/foreign placements, Rankings,
Industrial exposure, invitations for buying their application forms.
·
If you are so good somehow people will
surely come to know that you are good, you do
not need to shout in media, yes I am, I am and I am.
·
Don’t
get confuse…! It’s you who need to decide which
institute is good or bad or suitable. Before
applying for any institute, collect all required information then only spend money on admission process (selling application form is one of the
business of Institutes & Coaching classes), required information is institute’s name, promoters, approval/affiliations, course name,
course contents, industrial relations, batch intake, summer/final placement
records, placement profiles, average placements, other campuses of the group,
available specialization, infrastructure, facilities, faculties (quality &
quantity), industrial exposure and more…
·
If
institute is suitable as per your preferred location, budget/paying capacity,
Academics, preferred specialization then only apply, one of
the most important thing is to see weather it is approved by AICTE (All India Council of Technical Education, New
Delhi)/UGC (University Grant Commission) or
not. If you have choice first
preference must be given for AICTE/UGC Approved Institute (helps in placements, Education loan,
approval & widely acceptable)
·
Do
not go for such institutes which are just study centers of XYZ University or running their courses in 2/3 BHK Flat or in an office/shop in malls
or offering part time, distance learning, correspondence courses (these courses are for working professionals
not for fresh candidates)
·
Before
following any one’s advise analyze
yourself (your academics, preferences, strength & your level) and the person or coaching institute or
consultant that you are planning to follow: who is he/she, what is the
background, what kind of knowledge/expertise that have, what is their core
business.
·
If
any coaching institute asks you to drop a year, think about it,
what kind of options is available now and what will happen if you would drop
this year. Especially when you can not
change your academics (like 10th & 12th %age), your
budget, location preference what maximum you can change is your entrance
exam score. If you “just missed top 25 institutes” (received a call
but could not convert or thrown out of GD-PI, or missed a GD-PI call just by 5%
to 7%) then only you should think for
investing one more year other wise don’t waste a year. If you scored just
45% or 50% or max 70% in entrance exam, stop
dreaming about top 25 Institutes and accept reality and look for next top 50
institutes which are suitable as per your preferences. Difference between
top 25 brands & next 25 brands is just 15% to 20% but it comes at a cost of one year (even that’s not
sure), ask yourself are you ready for
that?
·
Motivating to drop a year is a way of revenue generation for
coaching classes (coaching fees+ GD-PI preparation fees+ application form
selling and showing crowd to sponsors for seminars)
·
Do
not follow any such consultant who always asks about management quota,
that’s not the only way to get in Good Institutes, try through normal process
and if trying through management quota then see your return on investment (Total amount you need to pay and average
placement), for placements cross check with institute or students studying in
institutes.
·
It is also important to check the background of consultant, what he is
into, his/her core business, expertise, kind of institute they offers, his/her
own education and qualification, his/her
credit (make sure that you do not loose your money & opportunity/year)
“Find bad things about institutes
instead of finding good one”
Trust me its good for your health
and wealth
“Dikhave Pe Mat Jaao, Apni Akal lagaao”
Some institute says: we
do not need AICTE’s Approval as we
offers XXXXXXX Course and facilities, to keep this most flexible we have not
gone for AICTE Approval. Actually such institutes are not eligible for AICTE
Approval due to their infrastructure & Faculties most of such campuses are
running in Malls, flats, or on a floor of commercial complex and their
faculties are not experienced or at par with AICTE’s requirements.
Most of the rankings (paper media
& digital media) are governed by sponsors/promoters of
institutes: rankings must not be the only parameter to judge institute. AICTE,
UGC or any other government body do not gives any such ranking.
For getting proper information about
approvals visit official sites or AICTE (www.aicte.ernet.in, www.aicte-india.org), UGC (www.ugc.ac.in) or related authority’s official web site
