Question: I just gave my CET this year ..and my result was 75 percentile..I got 63 out of 200...is thr any chances tht i can get a gud colg in mumbai for doing MBA or MMS...if yes thn whch are the gud colgs in mumbai...and if at all I hv to pay donation how much will I hv to pay considering todays scenario?

Answer: At 75 percentile, chances of a MMS seat in a good college in Mumbai are slim. If you are looking to do your MBA this year itself, consider IBS Powai, PG program at MET , Chetna, IES , Thakur. United World at Malad can also be considered. Admissions to these colleges will depend on your GDPI and not so much on your CET score. Other option is to prepare well this year and reappear for the exams next year.
Hemang Panchmatia - Director , CREDence Academy.

Answer: The definition of a good college entirely depends on your perception. As far as donation is concerned, approaching the respective colleges would be the best option wherein you can ascertain the amount.

Question: Quality of Education is good but the college doesn't have name! So does Name of the Institute really matter?

Answer: If you are looking at placements, the college brand will definitely matter a lot. If you in for "education", you may consider the same. Honestly, I can give a specific yes/no, if you can name the college. There are hardly any colleges with good quality but not well-known.
Hemang Panchmatia - Director , CREDence Academy.


Answer: History suggests that the name of the college does matter. It takes a long time for a college to emerge as brand. The best example is JBIMS which has been the number one choice for MBA through CET. However there is no hard and fast rule and it entirely depends on your perception and the feedback you get from the alumni's for a particular institute. At the end of the day, it is choice which you and your score in the entrance examinations that decide the same.

Question: I have selected lala lajpat Rai institute of managment for my MMS degree as i have score less in my cet. i have very less knowledge about the college its faculty its placement cell. would request you to shed some light on this part.
Answer: Placement scene is not very good. Don't think the average salary will cross 3.5 lakhs. If possible, try for PG courses at better colleges. Details of faculty etc can be found on their website.

Answer: In this case the alumnis or seniors of the college would guide you in a better way and with exact information. So kindly get in touch with them and they will be happy to help.

Question : I am working in an airline....in cargo operations..........should I go for an executive mba?.

Answer: Executive MBA at most reputed colleges will require 3 years of work experience ( in an managerial position). Also remember, part time MBA do not provide placements. So, if you are looking at changing industry, part-time MBA will not help. If possible, get your company sponspor your part time MBA, as is the normal trend

Hemang Panchmatia - Director , CREDence Academy.

Answer: Whether you want to go for a executive MBA or not is entirely your choice. Most of the colleges will require a minimum of 3 to 5 years of experience for the same. Most of the institutes like IIMs, FMS, IIFT, Symbiosis, JBIMS, etc., offer the same.

Answer : Some average colleges, do conduct their own entrance tests for PG programs. Try MET, IBS Powai, United World and a few other institutes. Why don't you appear for the exams next season and get into better institutes?

Answer : MMK is def not a part of our recommended list. some average colleges, do conduct their own entrance tests for PG programs. Try MET, IBS Powai, United World and a few other institutes. Why don't you appear for the exams next season and get into better institutes ??
Hemang Panchmatia - Director , CREDence Academy.

Answer: The definition of a good college depends on indivdual perspective. For us, a good college in Maharashtra would be JBIMS, Sydenham and so on. So in case you feel you do not want to go through the entrance examination grind, then you can have many other options like the one you have listed above.

Question : is it fine if i do mba from any college which is recognized by MU and UGC?
Answer :[/B Please be careful about the accreditation. It will be better if you can name the college, you are considering. We are comfortable with a few colleges like IBS Powai
Hemang Panchmatia - Director , CREDence Academy.

Answer: It is always a good idea to pursue an MBA from a recognised institution since it makes you eligible to opt for further education. for example, for pursuing a P.hD you will need a post graduate degree from a institute recognised by the UGC. Patrick D'souza, Quoin Academy

Question : Newly opened Colleges which promises to deliver the best OR Already established ones?
Answer : Already established ones... B-Schools take a very long time to establish themselves. If you look at the list of Top 20 B-Schools, you will know.... Only exception will be the newer IIMs which can be trusted because of the IIM brand. I can give more specific answers, if you can names the colleges you are considering.
Hemang Panchmatia - Director , CREDence Academy.

Answer: The answer to your question entire depends on your own perception. Recognized colleges are time tested when it comes to industry exposure, placements and education standards. New colleges may or may not have any credibility. So, at the end of the day, it is choice you make and decide your own risk return strategy.

Re: College selection questions answered by experts

Question : I am unable to still decde what specialization should i for !! I am a BMS student for MU with specialization in Marketing and retail management. but now i wanna go for finance but dont know whats holding me back. i really wana take up finance but i am not good at it u can say i am low in confidence...... kindely help me in selecting specialization subject.
Answer : Do not worry about this question at this stage. You need to select your specialization only at the start of the second year of MBA. The first year will expose you to all subjects and you will be in a better position to decide. Most importantly, speak to people working in different domains and see what work excites you..

Question : Which colleges offer MBA not MMS?

Hemang Panchmatia - Director , CREDence Academy.

Answer: MMS is the degree offered by Mumbai university. Some deemed univeristies like NM have named their degree as MBA. Some colleges offer PGDM ... MBA is the generic term used in India for post-graduation in Business Studies. Worry about the college you enter and not about what the degee is called.
